Chapter 286 The Child Endures Immense Pain
It felt like we hadn't been asleep for long when the phone call woke us up.
Song Yafei was too weak to get up and collapsed on the bed. I struggled to get up and found that it was Song Yafei's phone ringing.
I checked the caller ID; it was the housekeeper calling. I nudged Song Yafei, but she wouldn't wake up.
It was still so early when the nanny suddenly called. I was worried that something urgent had happened at home, so I answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, before anyone could even speak, the nanny shouted into the phone, "Mr. Song, something terrible has happened! Xiao Xiaotian has a fever!"
Is Xiao Xiaotian sick?
I immediately felt like I was facing a major crisis. Little Tian had leukemia and was physically weak, so he was easily infected, which would be a big problem.
Not to be underestimated.
"what happened?"
The nanny recognized my voice. "Sir, the child was fine when you were here yesterday afternoon, but he developed a fever after waking up."
What might not be a serious fever for other children could be fatal for little Seven.
Without further hesitation, I woke up Song Yafei. Still half asleep, Song Yafei immediately sat up in bed after hearing about Xiao Xiaotian's situation.
As I was getting dressed, I instructed the nanny, "Have the family doctor give Xiaoxiaotian some basic care immediately."
"I'll go back with President Song right away to take Xiao Xiaotian to the hospital. You can pack your things."
"Okay, sir."
Song Yafei and I rushed to the villa without stopping.
I drove at 120 km/h instead of the usual 70 or 80 km/h, which surprised even Song Yafei.
We quickly got back to the villa, and I managed to cut the usual 40-minute drive in half.
When we arrived at the villa, the doctor saw us and his expression was somewhat solemn. Song Yafei held the baby and called out to Xiao Xiaotian with heartache.
Her hands kept touching his forehead and arms.
I touched his palm, and it was very hot.
Without further hesitation, I picked up the child and said to Song Yafei, "Let's go, take him to the hospital right away."
Song Yafei and I share the same opinion on this matter, and we will work together to help Xiao Xiaotian get into the car.
The nanny also loaded the packed items into the car.
This time, Song Yafei was driving, and you can imagine how fast she was going.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the hospital. The hospital had already made arrangements, and we were immediately taken to the VIP ward that had been prepared for us.
The doctor who had previously diagnosed Xiao Xiaotian with leukemia quickly examined him and the nurses, gave him injections, and addressed the series of problems caused by his fever.
Throughout the entire process, Xiao Xiaotian only occasionally let out uncomfortable whimpers, which was already very good.
This made Song Yafei and I feel very sorry for her.
After the injection, we put Xiaoxiaotian in bed, and he fell asleep shortly afterward.
Just as Song Yafei and I were anxiously waiting for our child's fever to break, the doctor pushed open the door to the ward, holding various test results in his hand.
The doctor's expression wasn't good; in fact, it grew increasingly grim as he looked at page after page of the test reports.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Logically speaking, the child's condition shouldn't have deteriorated so quickly."
"But now it seems the child's condition isn't so optimistic..."
Song Yafei and I, who were sitting on the sofa, both stood up instantly.
"What's the situation now?" Song Yafei asked coldly, her worry barely concealed.
The doctor understood our concerns and waved his hand, "Mr. Song, this is just my personal deduction at the moment. We'll have to wait for the results of the biopsy to get a more accurate assessment."
puncture?
These words froze me in place. Little Tian was such a young child, yet he had to endure such pain.
I can't imagine.
I looked at the little child on the bed and couldn't accept that she was only a few months old and had to undergo such a painful procedure as puncture.
I looked at Song Yafei in disbelief. Upon hearing this, her face turned deathly pale.
But even crueler words came from the doctor's mouth.
"A biopsy is a must. Only by understanding the patient's basic condition can we provide an appropriate treatment plan for leukemia patients."
Seeing that Song Yafei and I were both hesitating, the doctor said, "Ms. Song, please discuss it first and then give me your answer."
"But we need to act quickly!"
After saying that, the doctor left the ward.
As the doctor left, Song Yafei staggered and fell back onto the sofa.
I'm a little worried that she won't be able to hold on, after all, it's Xiao Xiaotian she raised herself, and I'm even more worried about Xiao Xiaotian.
I sat down by the bed, took Xiao Xiaotian's hand that hadn't been injected, gently stroked his forehead, brushed aside his sparse, stray hairs, and lightly touched his eyebrows and eyes.
How could we let such a lovely child, who always has a smile on his face, suffer such pain!
After calming herself down, Song Yafei left the ward to find the doctor.
I know she went to see a doctor to discuss the details of her treatment.
I stayed in the room with Xiaoxiaotian.
Not long after, Song Yafei pushed the door open and came in, and I immediately went to greet her.
"So, is it really necessary to do a puncture? Xiao Xiaotian is too young, is it really absolutely necessary?"
With red eyes, Song Yafei suddenly hugged me and rested her head on my shoulder.
“I understand how you feel, but as the doctor said, you have to understand that without a biopsy, they can’t determine Xiaoxiaotian’s treatment plan.”
"But he's so young, do you know how much pain he has to endure?"
"I know, of course I know." Song Yafei was already in tears when she pushed me away. She clutched her clothes at her chest, looking utterly heartbroken.
"I know you feel sorry for him, but he came from my womb, how can I not feel sorry for him?"
"But if we don't do the puncture, Xiao Xiaotian might have to suffer more pain, and her condition will be delayed, do you know that?"
I cannot accept this!
"All we can do is accompany him during his checkups and reduce his pain. And you should know that the most authoritative doctors in the city are in the hospital during the lockdown, and they will definitely save Xiao Xiaotian."
But at this moment, I simply cannot accept any of Song Yafei's explanations.
Before she even returned, I couldn't bear to see Xiao Xiaotian's weak little face.
I shook my head, unable to understand. "Song Yafei, I don't understand, I really don't understand."
“We’re already divorced, why did you insist on giving birth to Xiao Xiaotian and bringing him into this world to suffer?”
“We have settled all our grievances and have no connection with each other, so why should a child have to suffer the pain we have caused him?”
“You can openly show me the agreement and let me choose.”
"But let me tell you, if I could, as long as he is healthy, I would rather not see him, as long as he is healthy and happy."
