Chapter 11 Alone Again



************

CHAPTER 11

She was alone again. The only person that supported her was unconscious in her arms.

Why did everything have to get worse?

Within fifteen minutes, the cab arrived and the driver was good enough to bring her mother into the car and drove quickly to the People's hospital.

Immediately she got down, she shouted for help as the driver helped her to carry her mother into the hospital. As soon as they were spotted, a stretcher was brought to carry Jiang Meilin into an emergency ward.

*Flashback ends*

After a few minutes of waiting, the room opened and the doctor came out while her mother was conveyed to a ward for admission. He saw her looking for the person in charge of her mother and a handsome man in surgery uniform came up to her.

"Is my mum okay? What happened to her? Why did she collapse?" Bai Renxiang bombarded the doctor with questions that has been plaguing her mind.

"I'm Ye Chaoxiang, the doctor that will be in charge of your mum's case. I suggest you relax and follow me to my office please. Let's talk there," Ye Chaoxiang said.

Once they reached his cabin, he ushered in and offered her a seat.

Taking the seat opposite him, at the other side of the table, Bai Renxiang repeated the same question she asked before.

"Sigh, your mother has kidney cancer and she has not been taken proper treatment..."

"What do you proper treatment'? It was clearly stated on the content of the container that it was a kidney cancer drug. So she was under treatment?" Bai Renxiang interrupted the doctor.

"Can I have a look at the drug?" Doctor Ye politely asked. When they were checking on the patient, something was off and hearing her talk about drugs, he wanted to know the type so he could know the treatment he could administer to the patient.

Searching her purse, Bai Renxiang got the container out and handed it to Ye Chaoxiang.

Carefully reading the content, Ye Chaoxiang saw it was indeed a kidney cancer drug but that did not explain what was wrong with the patient. He took out a pill from the container, smelled and tasted it.

His eyes widened in shock. "This…" he was unsure of the words to use. Quickly his eyes dimmed as he returned his gaze to the worried-looking Bai Renxiang.

"How long has your mother been taking this?" He asked in shock.

His reaction was not helping matters on Bai Renxiang's side. She panicked, telling him she did not know how long as this was the first time knowing about all this.

"The drug your mother has been taken was eventually the wrong one. Unfortunately, this has made her situation worsen. She would need to get a kidney transplant."

GAGHAN!

Bai Renxiang could not believe her ears. Wrong drugs? Kidney transplant? Where would she get such money from? Who would pull her out of all this suffering?

Seeing her finding difficulty in digesting the news, Ye Chaoxiang quickly enlightened, "You don't have to worry about finding a matching kidney. Luckily our hospital is currently helping the less privileged in your shoes. You just have to bring the treatment fee so that we can proceed with her surgery in three days."

Although he was propounding the solution, his words still felt heavy in her ears.

Feeling a little at ease, Bai Renxiang inquired about the fees and the amount which further threw her into another state of dilemma.

"That would be a million yuan miss," Ye Chaoxiang informed.

Bai Renxiang wanted to break down but she held herself together. She did not want to look so pitiful.

After she left the cabin, Bai Renxiang's mind kept wandering to nowhere in particular. Why does life have to be so cruel? Had her mother not suffered enough?

Where could she find a million yuan to pay for her mother's treatment? What would she do now? Who will she run to?

Where in God's name is she going to find a huge amount like that? Her father disowned her, her boyfriend broke up with her, none of her friends helped her because they did not want to lose their jobs.

Who would she turn to for help? After thinking for a while, she decided to ask her stepsister for help.

Feeling as though there was still hope, Bai Renxiang went to the ward her mother was admitted.

They were two patients in the room, her mother and a young child. Looking at her mother, laying there with 'ropes' connected to her body, a tear slid down her cheek. Bai Renxiang quickly wiped the tears away and went to sit on the chair close to her mother's sickbed.

Holding her hands, Bai Renxiang pressed light kisses on her mother's fingers.

"Mum, you promised that you would not leave me but look at you now. You sleeping and… and you have serious health issues. Why did you not tell me about all this? Why did you keep such important matter a secret?" Bai Renxiang asked feeling frustrated.

"Please don't leave me I beg of you. You are my only shield now. I will not be able to live if you leave me. What happened to us being strong and supportive of each other? Please wake up mum, please."

Later in the day, Ye Chaoxiang came to check up on Jiang Meilin as he was doing his rounds.

"Your mother is stable for now. Her body can keep up for approximately a day. But after that, I suggest you get the money for her surgery ready. The earlier the better," Ye Chaoxiang advised.

"But for how long can she…I mean will she be able to stay with me longer?" Bai Renxiang wanted to enjoy her mother longer. They had just reunited after so many years. She could not bear the thought of letting her die.

"Well, that depends on how strong and maybe the will of the patient. Some live for two years, some five years. BUT, luckily and by God's grace, seventy per cent of the patient I have treated since my career has surpassed ten years, some are going to twenty. So just have some faith in me and your mum."
