Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9170: Bon voyage, bright future (11)

After Qiao Zhixing persuaded him for a long time, Xiao Xisi turned around reluctantly, his expression was haggard and his lips were pale.

Her hair on the temples was slightly messy, and the corners of her eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time.

"Dr. Qiao, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I plan to take a year off from school to take good care of Zheng Bao."

"No." Qiao Zhixing blurted out without thinking, "I said, I will help you take care of Zheng Bao. The cost of suspending school is too high, you can't afford it."

"But if Zheng Bao has three advantages and two disadvantages, I can't afford it. Compared with Zheng Bao, nothing else is important."

"Zheng Bao will be fine. He will get better. You shouldn't make such a hasty decision."

"This is the result that I have thought about for a long time... For me, this is a decision that can have both worlds... It wasn't until Zheng Bao got sick that I realized that I really had not spent time with Zheng Bao. I have been very anxious in the past few years. I was busy and neglected Zhengbao. It was only at this time that I realized that nothing can compare to Zhengbao.”

"You need to know the consequences. If you take a year off from school, you will lose many opportunities, and you may even be asked to quit." Qiao Zhixing said, "The professor will not agree. You should prepare well for the final exam. We will talk about this later. Besides, the scholarship is generous. This is the only thing you can strive for. Companionship is important, but material things are not important.”

Xiao seemed to be silent.

She knew she was short of money.

Follow-up treatment will cost a lot of money. As Qiao Zhixing said, the scholarship is the only thing she can win now.

"Don't think wildly, Zheng Bao will get better." Qiao Zhixing looked at her and took out a latest research report, "This is the latest treatment plan developed by several doctors. Another surgery may be needed."

Xiao's pupils were dilated and his heart couldn't bear it.

She suddenly grabbed Qiao Zhixing's sleeve: "Doctor Qiao, can you not perform the operation? Zhengbao can't bear it... He is too young, he is only five years old... He really can't bear it..."

"This is the best treatment option, and it is also recognized by several experts."

"If, if the result of this treatment...Dr. Qiao, please think of another way...please..."

"Kathleen, you should know that as long as there is a treatment plan, you should try it instead of avoiding it. Medication intervention is not as good as expected, which means that surgery is still needed. I know Zhengbao is still young, but if there is hope, he should try it ,Understand?"

How could Xiao Sisi not understand?

She cried out: "If only I could bear it for Zheng Bao... I am willing to bear all this for Zheng Bao... I brought him into this world, and he shouldn't have to suffer like this... Shouldn't I have done it in the first place? Give birth to him..."

"Kathleen, don't think like that. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal in life. You are not wrong. You are a very responsible mother."

In the ward, Qiao Zhixing persuaded Xiao Sisi for a long time before Xiao Sisi finally nodded.

With Qiao Zhixing's persuasion, she reluctantly took a few bites of food.

Qiao Zhixing explained the treatment plan to her step by step and was extremely patient.

The sun gradually set behind the horizon, and Qiao Zhixing never left. The light from the incandescent lamp on the ceiling fell on the young man's clear and smooth face. His expression was dignified and serious, which was different from usual.

Xiao Sisi gets distracted while listening.

She clenched her clothes tightly with her hands, gritted her teeth, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't bear all this for Zheng Bao.

The treatment plan is conservative, but one step involves a stem cell transplant.

Qiao Zhixing told her this: "The hospital has already carried out matching, but it is difficult for foreign hospitals to find a suitable match for Zhengbao. There is a person who is suitable. He also helped Zhengbao last time, but I don't know that he will be matched this time." Are you willing to help?" Xiao Xi seemed stunned, naturally knowing who he was talking about.

She was silent for a long time after listening: "He has no obligation to help Zheng Bao, Doctor Qiao, is there any other way?"

"You can't afford the paid ones, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the free ones. I can help you continue to think of ways, but I'm afraid Zhengbao won't be able to wait." Qiao Zhixing analyzed the pros and cons to her, "As for my brother, if you want Ask him to help, this is his mobile phone number in China.”

After speaking, Qiao Zhixing placed a piece of paper on the table with a series of mobile phone numbers written on it.

"Kathleen, to be honest, you also know my brother's character. We are an old acquaintance and he will not die because of his grudge with you. If you really can't let go, I will continue to help you find someone. It’s a suitable match, but I’m afraid time won’t allow it.”

"He has no obligation to save Zheng Bao."

"Well, I still hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. The sooner the surgery is scheduled, the better."

Qiao Zhixing didn't say much more. He carefully explained the subsequent surgery and medication to Xiao Xisi, including the risks of the surgery.

"Kathleen, the risks of this operation are higher than last time, so be mentally prepared."

"Doctor Qiao." Xiao Sisi looked at him with bright red eyes, "What's the worst result...?"

"Some viruses invade the bone marrow, and the worst result is high amputation and lifelong wheelchair use."

The fingertips of Xiao Xi seem to be white, and the whole person seems to have been drained of his soul. His appearance is haggard, desolate and pale.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses from Qiao Zhixing's words. She nodded blankly to Qiao Zhixing... She knew that there was nothing she could do about what fate had arranged.

This time, Qiao Zhixing stayed in the ward for a long time.

Before leaving, Zheng Bao woke up, drowsy and sleepy.

He regarded Qiao Zhixing as Uncle Devin, hugged Qiao Zhixing's legs, and rubbed his little face, acting like a baby.

He only acted coquettishly with Uncle Devin: "Uncle, uncle, Zhengbao don't stay here, Zhengbao wants to see the red pandas."

"I'll take you to see the red pandas when I have the chance."

"Uncle, you said you would not leave Zhengbao, and you would not leave Zhengbao behind. Why have you been gone for so long... Zhengbao hasn't seen you for a long time...don't you want Zhengbao?"

Only then did Qiao Zhixing realize that Zheng Bao regarded him as his elder brother.

He remained silent. Zhengbao was still asleep and muttered: "Actually, Zhengbao misses you very much... I just dreamed about my uncle. I dreamed that my uncle and Zhengbao watched pandas and set off fireworks together. Drink ice and drink... Zheng Bao wants to play chess with you, how about we play chess together... Do you think Zheng Bao is too naughty for being disobedient, so you ignore Zheng Bao... Zheng Bao will be obedient and will not cause trouble. Even if Mom is angry, she won't make uncle unhappy..."

"Uncle, please don't leave, please."

"Uncle, uncle..."

Zheng Bao held Qiao Zhixing's legs with both hands and refused to let go.

Xiao Sisi turned her back and wiped her tears quietly. She couldn't bear to see the sick and helpless Zheng Bao.

Qiao Zhixing held his little hand and said after a long time: "I am Uncle Qiao Zhixing."

"Well." Zheng Bao suddenly let go of his hand, raised his head, blinked and looked carefully.
