So Rainy’s hair had started to fall. The doctor has preempted her that the side effects of this treatment would be severe. She did not think it would be this fast. Rainy was sleeping soundly. Her face was unusually beautiful. What would such a beautiful child do without her hair? She covered her mouth, afraid that she would make a sound if she cried.
Please stop torturing her child. Not like this.
However, this wouldn’t be the only thing she would be crying over. There would be more.
The doctor perused the information in the examination room. In the end, he could only look at her as he shook his head in apology. Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin was stunned as a wave of uneasiness came over her.
“I’m sorry, Miss Xia. The lab result is out. The match between your bone marrow and your daughter’s is close, but it is still unsuitable. My advice remains the same—find the child’s father. The child is still young, and her illness is in incubation. Most chemotherapies for a child at such a young age are extremely harmful to the body. Moreover, she is so young, and her resistance is already poor.
“Besides…” The doctor paused at this point, finding it hard to continue. “Miss Xia, there is actually another way. You can conceive another baby with her father. We can use the new baby’s cord blood to save the child. However, considering the trauma your uterus has gone through, it may be tough for you to conceive. Your child can’t afford to wait for this one percent chance of success.
“So, we will find a third solution for your daughter. If your child’s father’s bone marrow is not a match as well, we will ask the International Bone Marrow Bank for help to see if there is a match for your child.”
That was a lot of information from the doctor. The more Xia Ruoxin listened, the more disheartened she became. Things had seemed so hopeful, but all was lost. She had no idea how to approach Chu Lui, and she couldn’t possibly conceive in such a short period of time. The bone marrow bank that the doctor had mentioned sounded less hopeful.
What could she do to save her daughter, to prevent her from suffering?
She walked out, disoriented. She could feel all of her energy being sucked out of her. She didn’t even have the strength to look up.
Rainy was still sleeping as she sat on the hospital bed. Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly. Xia Ruoxin knew her daughter had a pair of beautiful eyes, and she was very mature and obedient.
Her hand went to her daughter’s cheek, caressing. She adjusted the doll in her arms. Without the doll as her companion—she thought, Rainy would definitely be very lonely.
“Mommy…” she muttered softly. It looked like she was awake. Rainy rubbed her eyes and stretched both her little arms out. “Mommy, carry.”
Xia Ruoxin reached out to carry her daughter in her arms. The tiny frame huddled completely in her embrace. She wondered what she was afraid of.
“Mommy, are you going out today?” Her tiny hands clutched at Xia Ruoxin’s clothes as she looked up and asked.
“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin rubber her daughter’s head. “Mommy has to, like last time. That way, I can afford to buy you more lollipops.” Rainy shook her head vigorously. “Mommy, I don’t want a lollipop. I only want you.
“I am here, all alone. I am afraid. So is Dolly.” She hugged the doll tight. It was always with her, and she had not put it down.
