Chapter 2516: Rumors Are the Most Frightening

The other child is first in line, while her child is farther down the list. Mother Zhuxing had never heard such assurances from her child’s attending doctor, which made her anxious.

Standing up, Mother Zhuxing looked for a place to escape, not wanting to hear the other woman’s words anymore.

As if realizing she wanted to leave, Mother Xiaohui hastily said, "My daughter Xiaohui is extremely smart. Dr. Mu and Dr. Han said that such a smart child would not be allowed to die."

"Stop talking. You’re saying only your child is smart? Before my son Zhu Xing got sick, he was always first in exams at school." Mother Zhuxing, unable to tolerate it any more, turned back to demand that Mother Xiaohui shut up.

Mother Xiaohui lifted her head, her eyes looking surprised at the other person’s expression, and said, "Isn’t Zhu Xing’s doctor Dr. Cao?"

"Yes. So what?" Mother Zhuxing, unable to hold back, retorted impatiently.

"Director Cao has never done a heart transplant surgery."

"Impossible!" Mother Zhuxing declared loudly, "Dr. Cao is the director. There’s no way he hasn’t done a heart transplant surgery. He has been taking care of our Zhu Xing for three years."

"Haven’t you seen the notice on the wall? Dr. Mu just completed three pediatric heart transplant surgeries. If Dr. Cao had done any, it would have been noted in the announcement." Mother Xiaohui presented evidence to the other person.

"Dr. Cao is the director, which represents his strength; it doesn’t need to be written in any notice." Mother Zhuxing countered each word deliberately.

"Regardless, Dr. Mu has done three, while Dr. Cao has done none." Unable to hold back either, Mother Xiaohui, emotionally charged, jumped up to shout back at Mother Zhuxing.

The parents around, noticing the argument between the two, were backing away to avoid involvement while chattering and discussing noisily. Since they had been waiting here for a long time, they had heard about the children’s situations, making it seem like they understood why the two were arguing.

"One child’s doctor is from the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department One. The other child’s doctor is from Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department Two. If there is one heart available, should it go to her child or the other child? It is very hard to wait for a heart. Just a few days ago, a child died waiting."

Listening to the surrounding conversations, Mother Zhuxing and Mother Xiaohui turned as pale as frost, with no color left in their faces.

This situation was exactly what everyone had been worried about when discussing with Student Wei earlier. Rumors from others are the most terrifying. The two mothers were quarreling out of fear that the heart would be taken. Xie Wanying hurriedly approached the two parents, calling out, "Auntie."

Turning her head, Mother Zhuxing immediately recognized her, rushed over, and grabbed her hand, saying, "Please talk some sense into her. Doctor, you said last time that my son definitely has a chance."

"Auntie, please listen to me first. You don’t need to argue. The hearts needed by the two children are different." Xie Wanying began to educate the parents on the medical knowledge, urging them not to be misled by others who didn’t understand. These two parents obviously had a needless argument because of what they heard from others.

Different?

"Organ transplantation requires donor-recipient matching. If the match is not suitable, the donor’s heart cannot be transplanted into your child’s body, as it would generate a severe rejection reaction and could be fatal. For heart transplantation, compatibility involves more than just similar or matching blood types; it also encompasses HLA typing and considers results of cross-reactive antibody testing and lymphocyte toxicity tests, among others. Achieving a successful HLA match alone is already very difficult."
