I have bound two systems.

"Hesha..."

There was no need to say anything extra. In her current mood, just hearing him say her name, Hesa, who had been able to force herself to endure it before, felt her nose ache and tears welling up in her eyes. She never thought that she would be so vulnerable at that moment.

"Um... Chisato...what should I do?"

------

An hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the hospital.

Chisato Suzumiya didn't bother to wait for her aunt. She opened the door, grabbed Kazusa's change of clothes, and ran straight to the inpatient department.

Kudo Miyoko, who was waiting in the hall, saw him. When he ran closer, before she could say anything, Suzumiya Chisato asked anxiously,

"Where's Kazusa?"

She subconsciously answered "the third floor" and pointed to a staircase. The other person ran past her without stopping, stepped up the stairs in two steps, and disappeared from her sight in an instant.

"..."

Kudo Miyoko looked at the "No Running" sign posted on the wall next to her, and without saying anything, she quickened her pace and followed.

When she came to the corridor, she saw Hesha, who had been frowning and blocking her emotions in front of her, now crying in her boyfriend's arms, saying something incoherently while crying.

And Suzumiya Chisato held her tightly in her arms, with an expression of heartache and pity on her face, and kept wiping away the tears from her face.

Kudo Miyoko felt that she shouldn't disturb them at this time, so she walked away quietly.

I don’t know what the progress is with Dr. Kensho Takayanagi, but there’s no need to worry about Hesha for the time being. She needs to find out the situation as soon as possible.

------

Even though half an hour had passed, Touma Kazusa still hadn't been able to calm down.

The crying had gradually stopped, but there was still an unignorable sadness on her face.

"...I want to go see my mother."

"kindness."

Suzumiya Chisato nodded.

He helped Hesha into the ward.

This ward was obviously specially customized for the upper class, and it was equipped with a nursing bed, a TV, a reclining sofa and a separate bathroom.

Touma Yoko was lying on the most conspicuous white bed, her eyes closed, her lips pale, her face extremely weak.

Hesha squatted beside the bed and gently held her hand where the infusion needle was inserted.

Her mother's palms were colder than she had imagined.

The person whom she once admired as highly as a mountain, the person whom she once thought she would eventually surpass, was now suddenly lying on a white hospital bed.

After learning the details from Ms. Kudo and actually seeing her mother in coma.

With a "bang", Hesha felt as if a clay jar had shattered in her head. Her perception began to slow down. What she saw and heard became farther and farther away from her. The conditions the doctor told her also became dull and distant.

The soul seems to float out of the body and is able to participate in the overall situation from a third-party perspective.

Although it clearly concerns her, she feels like she is not involved in it and it has nothing to do with her.

Because, mom, you were so energetic before discussing with me at home which celebrity has the best looks, right?

When she went out, she deliberately put on that annoying happy smile, saying that she had been bored at home these days and now she could finally go to work, and could also take advantage of the convenience of work to date some good men?

"Aunt Yoko will be fine."

Chisato Suzumiya also half-knelt down, stretched out her right hand and placed it on the mother and daughter's clasped hands, and the warmth of her palm was indeed transmitted.

Obviously, Miss Kudo had said something similar before, but for some reason, its weight and effect were far less than those of Chisato Suzumiya.

Unlike Miss Kudo, there was absolute certainty in her boyfriend's words.

Hesa didn't know why, but she could read such emotion from his short words.

"kindness."

Hesa turned her red and swollen eyes, looked at him and nodded.

Before Suzumiya Chisato came, she didn't even dare to stay in this ward to look at her mother for another second.

She didn't have the courage to look at her mother's haggard and painful face. She felt a tightness in her chest because she couldn't share her pain, and was squeezed by helplessness and fear.

The combined attack of multiple emotions defeated her, forcing her to flee the ward like a coward. She could only stay in the corridor in front of the ward, her confused and frustrated brain constantly dragged down by negative emotions.

It was not until Chisato Suzumiya arrived that these emotions were released along with the tears.

Ignorance is fearless. She thought she had always been a strong and independent person, but until today's personal experience, she realized that she was not strong or brave at all.

Kazusa was reluctant to leave her mother's side, but could not resist Chisato Suzumiya's constant persuasion.

She finally let go of her mother's hand and sat on the sofa, taking the bread that Miss Kudo had bought earlier. Although she had no mood or appetite, she still tore off small pieces and put them into her mouth with milk.

Suzumiya Chisato touched her head with pity, then pointed outside the door and stood up.

Hesha grabbed the corner of his clothes in fear, and the box of milk in her hand fell to the ground.

"Qianli, where are you going!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

Chisato Suzumiya half-knelt in front of her, picked up the milk that had fallen on the ground for her and put it on the table, then took out a tissue to wipe the leaked milk.

Facing her vulnerable gaze, Suzumiya Chisato used her fingers to comb her messy hair.

"I'm going to go out and call my homeroom teacher to ask for leave and I'll be back soon. I'll be here with you for the next period of time."

Hesa looked into his eyes, unable to say no, so she silently withdrew her hand and nodded slightly.

After comforting her, Suzumiya Chisato turned and walked out of the room.

------

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Two minutes later, Kazusa heard a weak cough coming from the bed.

Her eyes widened, and after a moment of stunned silence, she immediately walked quickly to the bedside.

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

Hesha's voice was not as cold as usual, but seemed a little anxious and hoarse.

It’s no wonder, she was still having a fever yesterday and just cried for so long.

She remembered the doctor's instructions that she needed to notify the doctor immediately after her mother woke up, so she quickly pressed the page button at the bedside.

"Mom...haha...cough, I haven't heard you call me so gently in a long time."

Even though she was extremely weak, Touma Yoko opened her eyes and regained consciousness. When she saw her daughter's worried face, she couldn't help but speak and tease her first.

This time, Hesha no longer gave that disrespectful response like she did before.

When you are about to lose something, you will realize how important it is in your life.

Hesha's eyes became moist again, and she held her hand and held it close to her face.

My mother no longer had the smell of the perfume she always used. Instead, there was the smell of medicine mixed with disinfectant.

She hates the smell.

"Idiot, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Touma Yoko gently broke free of her daughter's hand, and after trying several times, she finally put her fingertips close to her eyes and wiped away her tears.

"Please help me raise the head of the bed. Mom wants to lean on it for a while."

Hesha suppressed her nasal tears and pressed the button, causing the upper part of the bed to slowly tilt up.

He stood up again and adjusted the position of her pillow so that she could lean on it comfortably.

After doing all this, Touma Yoko first looked towards the window.

The sky outside the window is clear, with white clouds floating in the blue sky. The landscape trees are swaying their branches gently in the breeze, looking full of vitality.

It was a perfect day, and Touma Yoko wanted to go out for the first time in a long time, but given her current physical condition, it was probably not allowed.

"Hesa, what brought you here?"

"Last night, around eight o'clock."

"Miyoko..."

"She told me everything."

Hesha bit her lower lip.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If I tell you about this, it will just be one more person to worry about, right? You just need to live your campus life happily."

"But I'm your daughter!"

Hesha seemed a little excited for a moment, and the fragile emotions that had just calmed down showed signs of coming back again.

Dong Ma Youzi didn't say anything for a while, stared at her for a long time, and finally raised the corners of his lips with great effort.

"Feel sorry."

"..."

When Hesha saw her like this, her heart was gripped again.

The door of the ward was opened at this moment, and Dr. Takayanagi, wearing a white coat, walked in hurriedly, followed by Kudo Miyoko.

Hesha let go of her mother's hand, stood aside at a loss, and made way for the doctor.

Dr. Takayanagi asked some questions and Touma Yoko answered them one by one.

After a moment, the doctor stood up and looked at Kazusa and Kudo Miyoko, motioning them to follow him out of the ward to talk.

"Okay, Xianzheng Jun, stop hiding it from me."

She took a shallow breath.

"Let's talk about it right here. What's my condition like? I should be able to live for a few more years, right?"

She said this half-jokingly, but Gao Yanagi Kensho showed a solemn expression that made everyone feel extremely uneasy.

…………

Chapter 267 Turning Point

Facing Touma Yoko's half-pleading, half-determined gaze, Dr. Takayanagi Kensho finally told her the actual situation.

"Yoko, your condition has worsened because the leukemia cells have developed resistance to the current treatment drugs and have been able to proliferate in large numbers in your bone marrow. Therefore, over the next period of time, your internal organs will only be more severely damaged than they are now."

He tried to use as few idiotic medical terms as possible and explained things in terms that everyone present could understand.

"Leukemia cells attack your organs, and the organs can't bear the weight and have problems, which causes them to not work properly. This can cause problems in every aspect of your body.

Rising body temperature, headache, chest pain, joint pain, unnatural redness, swelling and bruising of the body, sudden bleeding from the gums and nostrils, these conditions will only get worse in the future. Now you can still breathe by your own will, but I'm afraid you will have to transfer to ICO soon and use a ventilator to breathe smoothly. Yaozi, you have to be mentally prepared. "

After hearing what the doctor said, Touma Kazusa, who was standing by, staggered.

Fortunately, Kudo Miyoko beside her was quick to catch her and support her body, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.

Touma Yoko took a deep, trembling breath.

The treatment effect during this period was quite good, and she was lucky enough to think that her condition would continue to improve. Was she really too naive?

"Doctor Takayanagi, even if you say so, there must be a way to cure the president, right?"

Kudo Miyoko's eyes also became moist; she wanted to hear good news from the doctor.

Touma and Saya held their breath for a moment and stared at him intently.

Gao Liuxianzheng nodded.

"Of course, the root cause of leukemia is bone marrow disease, which causes the blood cells it produces to increase abnormally and become substandard, unable to function normally. In this case, as long as the bone marrow transplant is successful, Yoko's condition will be greatly improved afterwards."

Both Touma Yoko and Kudo Miyoko understood what he said.

The word Dr. Takayanagi used was "improvement" rather than "cure".

That is to say, even if the bone marrow transplant operation is successful, Touma Yoko will not be able to recover her previous physical condition.

"So...what is the success rate of this operation?"
