At Xia Shuzhu's insistence, her parents did not go to the United States.
Xia Shuzhu knew that even if she could recover from this disease, she would suffer tremendous pain. She didn't want her parents to see her in pain. It would be too cruel to them.
Of course, the main reason why her parents didn't go was because Lin Ze had found a matching bone marrow for her.
If not, I am afraid that no matter how much Xia Shuzhu insists, she will not let her daughter go to the United States.
When Lin Ze and Xia Shuzhu got on the plane, Xia Shuzhu's parents urged him to take good care of Xia Shuzhu. Their eyes were full of tears, and they were extremely reluctant to leave their daughter.
Lin Ze could only comfort him frequently, and he knew that his uncle and aunt would definitely go, but he would not let Xia Shuzhu know about it.
Whose parents would really let go of this reluctance?
Even if their daughter doesn't want them to go, they will secretly go to the United States to take care of her secretly and keep an eye on him.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Ze, the main thing is that this family relationship that is thicker than water really cannot allow them to stay at home with peace of mind.
After helping Xia Shuzhu get on the plane, Lin Ze held her cold little hand and said gently: "Get some sleep, there's still a long time."
Xia Shuzhu nodded lightly, forced a smile and said, "I won't accompany you to relieve your boredom."
"Um."
After Xia Shuzhu fell asleep, Lin Ze just stared at her quietly without relaxing for a moment. It wasn't until he arrived at the New York Airport that Lin Ze rubbed his sore eyes and helped her off the plane again.
Walking out of the airport, Xia Shuzhu unexpectedly saw that she was her best friend Chen Ling.
A look of deep concern appeared on Chen Ling's slightly promiscuous face. After seeing Xia Shuzhu, she quickly took off her sunglasses and walked towards her.
"Shuzhu, are you tired after taking such a long flight?" Chen Ling asked with concern.
"How did you know I was coming?" Xia Shuzhu tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lin Ze.
"That's what I said." Lin Ze smiled bitterly, "Chen Ling has been here for several years, and she is finally familiar with New York."
Xia Shuzhu didn't say anything and was helped into the car by Lin Ze.
"Lin Ze, the doctor you asked me to contact has no problem. They know that you asked me to come here, and they are very cooperative. They are just waiting for Shu Zhu to go over and give the most complete treatment." Chen Ling said while driving,
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Ze nodded lightly,
Chen Ling shook her head slightly and said nothing.
After sending the two of them to the hotel, Lin Ze helped Xia Shuzhu go to bed and slept until he confirmed that she was asleep, then he quietly exited the room.
Chen Ling was waiting in the living room. When she saw him coming, she couldn't help but get up and walk over with a little worry on her face.
"The doctors have obtained Xiaoxia's information, what did they say?" Lin Ze lit a cigarette and asked solemnly,
"A 50% chance." Chen Ling said with a gloomy look, "The doctor said that even with the world's top technology, the chance of recovery is only 50%."
"Fifty percent." Lin Ze frowned, and his smoking movements trembled involuntarily, "That doesn't mean you didn't say anything."
"Lin Ze," Chen Ling opened her mouth and said, "At this time, you must not lose your mind. 50% is already an extremely high chance. Even in the United States, many patients with leukemia will suffer from various causes. The cause of treatment failure is 50%, which is really the limit of modern medicine."
Lin Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. He walked to the window, opened the curtains, and said slowly: "Don't let Xiao Xia know about this matter. Her mood is quite stable now. Anything that may irritate her Don’t tell her anything about it.”
"I know." Chen Ling nodded lightly and said, "You too, don't make mistakes in this kind of thing. Xiaoxia is a sensitive woman. Even now, she will fluctuate because of your emotions, so, , please be sure to handle your emotions well."
"I understand." Lin Ze nodded bitterly, "Go and do your work, I will handle the rest."
When Chen Ling heard this, she hesitated slightly at first, and finally said: "No matter what, if you need help, call me."
"OK."
After Chen Ling left, Lin Ze closed the curtains again, turned back to the bathroom, and washed his face with cold water.
He must muster up his energy to take care of Xia Shuzhu. For a long time to come, he must keep Xia Shuzhu calm enough to face treatment with the best attitude. If anything goes wrong, Lin Ze will regret it for the rest of his life.
…
After two days of adjustments, Xia Shuzhu finally entered the hospital.
According to the doctor's explanation, chemotherapy must be done before bone marrow transplantation to reduce rejection. Lin Ze understood that for leukemia patients, the most unbearable thing is chemotherapy.
But every time Xia Shuzhu underwent chemotherapy, she always endured great pain and faced Lin Ze tenderly.
She was afraid that her parents would be uncomfortable, and she was also afraid of Lin Ze's heartache. She would even secretly hide the hair that fell out due to chemotherapy so that Lin Ze wouldn't find it.
However, how could such a careful person as Lin Ze ignore Xia Shuzhu's hair loss?
Xia Shuzhu was worried that he would see her, so he pretended not to see her, chatting with her every day, and cheering her up.
Chen Ling would come to the hospital to visit Xia Shuzhu every now and then. Sometimes the work of wiping Xia Shuzhu's body would be left to Chen Ling. Therefore, during these days, the relationship between Xia Shuzhu and Chen Ling had improved again, but looking at Xia Shuzhu's growing... The paler her face became, the more Chen Ling would secretly wipe her tears from time to time.
Xia Shuzhu is beautiful. Chen Ling always thinks that she is more beautiful than herself.
But now, looking at Xia Shuzhu's face that was ravaged by chemotherapy and losing weight, and no longer as bright as before, I feel sour in my heart.
But fortunately, with the joint efforts of the hospital and Xia Shuzhu, the doctor finally confirmed after repeated examinations that a bone marrow transplant could be performed.
This day was the most relaxing day for Lin Ze in the more than two months since he came to the United States.
No matter what, Xia Shuzhu finally no longer has to endure the torture of chemotherapy. As long as the bone marrow transplant is successful, Lin Ze can feel half relieved.
On this day, Lin Ze personally cooked a bowl of millet porridge and brought it to the bedside. Looking at Xia Shuzhu's pale and thin face, with crystal liquid in his eyes, he blew on the hot porridge in the spoon and said softly: "Here, drink." Order some porridge, and after a few days of good rest, we will go for a bone marrow transplant. By then, you will be fine."
When Xia Shuzhu heard this, he forced a smile and said, "Well, I will definitely persevere."
Both of them knew that even if the bone marrow transplant was successful, there would be a certain relapse rate, and once relapse occurred, Xia Shuzhu would be in dire straits.
But recurrence is still far away for Xia Shuzhu. What she needs to care about now is whether the bone marrow transplant is successful.
After finishing the millet porridge that Lin Ze fed, Xia Shuzhu said softly: "Lin Ze, I want to call my parents and tell them that I'm going to be fine soon."
Hearing this, Lin Ze nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
With that said, he dialed Xia Qingyuan's phone number,
"Hey, is it dad?" Xia Shuzhu said softly,
"Yes, yes."
"Dad, I'm getting better soon and can be discharged from the hospital soon." Xia Shuzhu said,
"Well, dad's daughter is the strongest and bravest, and she will definitely be able to defeat the disease."
Lin Ze, who had always been strong, couldn't help but turn around while listening to the conversation between father and daughter.
Xia Shuzhu didn't know, but Lin Ze knew that Xia Qingyuan and his wife had always been next door.
