Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Professor Ke’s video call came right when Tong Hua was thrown with an attack. He sat on the study room’s sofa with a little old man image, feeling depressed and low-spirited. Why don’t I have a good older brother?

Ah please!!

He only realized that Daddy was actually praising himself when came back to his senses.

Shameless!

“I have already received Tong Hua’s medical report. Let’s put this on hold at the moment. I actually wanted to video call you guys yesterday. We still have not discovered a way to clear out the harmful substances in Tong Hua’s body with blood transfusions. However, there’s a way that can let Tong Hua fully recover,” Professor Ke said.

Shen Qianshu’s eyes lit up. “What way?”

“Undergo heart transplant surgery again,” Professor Ke said softly.

Tong Hua’s face turned slightly pale. He stood up from the sofa slowly with a little bit of reluctance. Burger seemed to have felt his emotions. It jumped onto the sofa and into Tong Hua’s embrace. Ye Ling took a glance at him.

“How does that work?”

“Tong Hua is already grown up. He can go through heart transplant surgery. We only need to search for a heart that is suitable for him and let him undergo another heart transplant surgery. He will then be able to fully recover. The harmful substances in his blood originated from his heart. As long as his heart is taken out, the harmful substances will naturally get excreted out of the body through his sweat. Such structure of harmful substances is really uncommon, and I have already invited professionals from the CIA that specialize in researching harmful substances to come together to research. There were over ten scientists present, but none of them could find the harmful substance’s serial number. It is thus very difficult to clear out the harmful substances with blood transfusions.”

“As long as he undergoes a heart transplant, he can fully recover?” Shen Qianshu asked.

“Yes, the percentage of success is very high,” Professor Ke said. “I was the chief surgeon for twenty-nine heart transplant surgeries, and an incident only happened once.”

“I don’t want to!” Tong Hua exclaimed.

Professor Ke looked at Tong Hua and said, “Son, don’t be afraid.”

Tong Hua shook his head. He did not want to undergo a heart transplant surgery. From his memory, the hospital was his most familiar place. He stayed in the hospital for a really long period of time and also underwent countless small surgeries. After the anesthesia wore off, the feeling of his body being cut open was really distinct.

He repulsed the heart transplant surgery.

Ye Ling remained silent throughout.

Shen Qianshu’s heart ached badly, and she grasped Tong Hua’s hands tightly.

“From your experience, what is the percentage of having a relapse after a successful surgery?” Ye Ling questioned.

“Master, what I want to say next is this pressing issue. Tong Hua has already undergone a heart transplant surgery when he was a baby, and the heart in his body has long merged as one with his body. His organs have all become one due to his heart’s influence. He also did a few small surgeries after that, and those completely healed his heart rejection issue. He does not have any life-threatening issues now.”

“However, he is already seven and needs to accept a new heart now. Even if the surgery is successful, the new heart has a lifespan too. It might be three years, five years, or maybe thirty years, fifty years. No one has a clear answer. If he wants to have a lifespan like normal people, it will almost be impossible.”

This was the disadvantage of heart transplant surgeries.

Shen Qianshu’s limbs turned cold. This meant that even if the surgery was successful, it would also be uncertain when her son would leave her?

She had always prepared herself for the day Tong Hua would leave her. She had thought of the day whereby Tong Hua would leave peacefully in her embrace too. She also heard that heart transplants would have its rejection and lifespan. But he was already healed back then.

Now that he had grown up, it became untreatable?

“Miss Shen, the current medical technologies cannot reach the level you expect.”
