Chapter 754: Betting All Her Hopes On Her
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
In order to save her son’s life, she did not hesitate to put down her pride, go down on her knees and beg Jing Xi.
It was true that Xu Xiyan was a volunteer who had donated her bone marrow to the World Marrow Donor Association a few years ago. That would easily explain how Tang Shixue had managed to find her now.
“I know. Please get up now and take to your child. I would like to visit him.”
“Okay, okay…”
Tang Shixue seed to have seen a glimr of hope in her desperation and she was so moved that tears kept streaming down from her eyes.
If Jing Xi was willing to go to see the child, does it an that she may agree to save Mike?
Xu Xiyan took Tang Shixue to her car. After they got into the car, Jing Xi started the engine and drove to the Peijing Children’s Hospital urgently.
In the children’s ward, Xu Xiyan saw the four-year-old Mike.
She rembered she had first seen Mike in a photo on Tang Shixue’s mobile phone. At that ti, he was still healthy and he looked chubby and very handso in that photo. He was really adorable.
But now the illness-stricken Mike looked thin and frail. His pale skin and bony chin made his eyes looked even larger.
Tang Shixue ca to his bed and called out to softly, “Mike!”
The child was sitting on the bed playing with a small plane. When he heard her voice, he stopped and lifted up his head and saw his mother. “Mommy, where have you been?”
“Mommy didn’t go anywhere. Mommy went to see an auntie, and now the auntie is here to see you,” Tang Shixue said, then gestured towards Jing Xi. “Mike, say hello to Auntie Jing. You’ve t her before.”
Mike glanced over at Xu Xiyan who was standing behind his mother, looking at her for a mont with his big and black eyes. After confirming that he had seen this auntie before, he greeted her obediently. “Hello, Auntie Jing.”
Facing a child about the age of Ying Bao, Xu Xiyan could not treat him indifferently.
Even if this child was Tang Shixue and Huo Jingtang’s blood, he was still innocent after all.
She could not let the innocent child suffer her prejudices against his parents.
Xu Xiyan subconsciously relaxed her tone and smiled as she greeted him. “Hello, Mike.”
After Mike had ward up to Xu Xiyan, he asked, “I heard Mommy say that there’s a little girl who is the sa age as in Auntie Jing’s house. Is it true?”
“Yup, it’s true. Next ti if there’s a chance, I will bring her over to play with you!” Xu Xinrou said softly, stroking Mike’s little head.
“Yay, okay! I’m so happy. I can’t wait to see the little sister.” Mike smiled happily.
Looking at the child’s radiant smile, Xu Xiyan’s heart ached for him.
The doctor had clearly said that the symptoms for Mike’s leukemia were complicated and his condition was very serious. It had reached the point where chemotherapy was no longer effective as a cure and he must be saved by a bone marrow transplant.
He was a four-year-old child just like Ying Bao. But compared to her, this child was a lot more unfortunate.
He had been living with his single mother without a father. He was suffering the pain of an illness and could die any ti.
It was really sad and heartbreaking that he was still able to smile so brightly.
Later, through conversation, Xu Xiyan learned that Mike had a Chinese na. His na was Tang Nianshen, taking after his mother’s surna.
Nianshen… [1]
Well, just by hearing the child’s na, Xu Xiyan could tell what had inspired Tang Shixue to give him this na. She had given him this na probably because she had been sure that the child was Huo Yunshen’s in the first place.
They stayed in the ward for a while until Mike fell asleep, then Xu Xiyan got up and said that she had to go.
Tang Shixue escorted her out of the ward. She looked at Xu Xiyan with pleading eyes as though she was betting all her hopes on her.
“About this matter, I have to go back and discuss with my husband Yunshen first. I’ll let you know my answer later!”
Xu Xiyan did not make a decision imdiately. After all, a bone marrow donation was no small matter.

[1] “Nian” here ans “to think of (soone)” or “miss (soone)” in Chinese and “shen” is simply the sa Chinese character as in Huo Yunshen’s na. You can probably guess why Tang Shixue had given such a na to her son now!
