My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 425: Chapter 418: The Life Saver

“Okay,” Little Chengcheng nodded his head with gusto. Recently in the hospital, everyone had been feeding him well, and in just a few days, they had managed to fatten up his once skinny little face.

Mother Gu brought Chengcheng to the hospital’s canteen. After a while, Gu Ning, with her grandfather in tow, joined them. Like a little snail, Chengcheng instinctively clambered onto Grandfather Gu’s lap — he liked beautiful aunts, and he liked old grandpas too.

Grandfather Gu pinched Chengcheng’s chubby cheeks. He had a special fondness for this child who had essentially saved his life. He treated the kid even more indulgently than he had treated Gu Ning when she was a little girl.

Gu Ning ordered some dishes that included meat and vegetables. Mother Gu spoon-fed Chengcheng, who was a good boy without any picky eating habits. Whatever you fed him, he ate happily without complaints, maintaining a cheerful smile on his face. This soft and adorable boy never failed to bring people joy and light-heartedness.

“This child is indeed blessed,” Grandfather Gu rubbed Chengcheng’s head, “He has solved all the difficult problems in the hospital.”

“Yeah,” Gu Ning took a bite of rice and looked at Chengcheng’s smiling face. “Back in their village, everyone says he’s like an envoy of the Goddess of Mercy, bringing a stream of blessings to his family since birth. His family’s financial situation has improved, and he himself never falls sick. Other families in the village even want their kids to stay close to him, hoping to bask in his good fortune.”

Especially now, he had survived the snakebite, which was deemed a death sentence by the hospital. Moreover, with the antibodies in his blood serum, he is now able to save many more people. This child is indeed a lucky star.

Outside of the hospital, several medical staff members rushed over, holding a box in their hands. Their steps were urgent, and the hospital staff had been waiting anxiously.

The box was set down and filled with test-tube-like items. These were the antiviral drugs, already tested successfully on mice.

The doctors in the hospital immediately began to administer these drugs to the patients.

As time ticked by, every beat of the medical staff’s heart seemed to echo the count of the seconds. Their footsteps paced in rhythm with the clock. The drugs injected into the patients quickly took effect. The fevers gradually subsided and their breathing became steady. When blood tests were performed, the results were much better than before. The effectiveness of the drugs was evident, and these new drugs would be instrumental in the fight against this virus. There would be no need for fear even if such an outbreak occurred again in the future.

This epidemic, ignited by a snakebite, had been completely extinguished before it could escalate further.

Tang Yuxin opened the door to the ward, with Little Chengcheng behind her, holding onto her clothes and poking his little head out.

“Why did you bring him? Be careful not to get him infected,” Grandfather Gu frowned at the sight of Chengcheng. “Children have weak immunity; don’t let him inside.”

“Don’t worry; there’s no risk of infection now. We’re in the recovery phase. Besides, he is the biggest BOSS; he’s not afraid of the virus,” Tang Yuxin rubbed her little brother’s head. Little Chengcheng laughed shyly and ran over the hospital bed.

“Pretty grandma, it’s time for an injection,” he tightened his grip on Grandma Gu’s old hand, beaming till his eyes squinted into slits, “It doesn’t hurt at all. Chengcheng just had one, and it wasn’t painful at all.”

Grandma Gu stroked Chengcheng’s face, “Yes, our little Chengcheng is the bravest boy. If Chengcheng isn’t afraid, Grandma will not be afraid either.”

She had narrowly escaped death, and was thankful to be alive. Otherwise, what would her old man do? He would undoubtedly die of loneliness.

Chengcheng cracked a big smile, looking much healthier and chubbier these days, and had regained his previous plumpness. With his sweet words, he had won over all the doctors and nurses in the hospital.

Even stern Grandfather Gu could not resist Chengcheng’s charm, not to mention Grandma Gu. If there were any goodies, they would always save them for this little guy.

After Tang Yuxin finished giving Grandma Gu the injection, she left the ward with her little brother. Assuming everything was fine here, she decided to return to her college. Little did she know, a familiar patient was being admitted to the hospital.

“How is it?” Old Mr Qin asked the doctor, “Is my grandson okay?”

“It’s hard to say,” the doctor didn’t mince his words. He couldn’t deceive him any longer, “Mr. Qin, you best invite all your family members here. We need to conduct a bone marrow donor match. For this disease, he can only survive with a bone marrow transplant.”

Old Mr Qin stumbled back into a chair, “So, there’s really no other way?”

The doctor shook his head, “There is currently no cure for this disease in the medical field. If a suitable bone marrow donor is found, there is a possibility of complete recovery and restoration of endogenous blood production. Otherwise, despite extensive chemotherapy, it will only extend his life while causing countless suffering, and the end result will still be death.”

Indeed, everyone will die someday, but the doctor did not say this out loud. What differentiates people is the timing of their deaths; some die early while some die later. As doctors, their duty is to extend the patients’ lifespan as much as possible, regardless of the inevitable end.

Old Mr. Qin clenched his fists. He didn’t expect his usually healthy grandson to get such a disease. How could such a thing happen to his family?

His only recourse was to summon all his family members for a bone marrow donor match. He had two sons, but only a single grandson. This boy was the last sprout of their Qin Family’s lineage. If something were to happen, it would mean the end of their bloodline.

He hurriedly summoned his sons and family members. However, there were not many potential bone marrow donors for his grandson. At the very least, he, as the biological grandfather, was not a match.

However, when it came to his favorite daughter-in-law, she seemed reluctant to extend her arm for the examination.
