I stared at her stunned at her statement but didn't reply.
She scoffed at herself, "We haven't always been in such a sorry state. Some children in this world are born to repay a debt of gratitude, and some are born to collect debts. We have raised two children in our lives. One is here to repay a debt of gratitude, and the other is here to collect debts from us. One repaid us with her life, and the other is eating up our lives. Don't you think it's absurd? But we still have to live. No matter how pathetic we are, we have to live. There is only hope if we live. Only if we live can we see our granddaughter grow up, and only then can we see the future."
I listened in silence and couldn't help feeling distressed. There are many different types of people in life, and the happier ones are fortunate. However, there are all kinds of unfortunate people in the world. The only hope for the elderly couple to continue living, was the child Sonia left behind.
After a while, the doctor walked out of the emergency room. The couple hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is our granddaughter? Is she okay?"
The doctor looked at the middle- aged couple, frowned slightly, and said carefully, "Let's talk in my office!"
The meaning of those words was obvious. The child's condition was quite serious.
In the doctor's office.
The middle- aged couple looked at the doctor nervously. The doctor had probably had already seen many such scenes. Looking at them, he sighed slightly, and then handed a report to them.
Sonia's mother suddenly burst into tears. Her voice was almost hoarse from crying, and she could not say a word. Sonia's father comforted her, but at this moment, both of them were in despair. It seemed that any word of comfort was useless at this moment.
I looked at the doctor, sighed slightly and said, "Doctor, is there any other way to cure leukemia besides a bone marrow transplant?"
He shook his head and said, "At present, there is no other way. Moreover, the success rate of a bone marrow transplant is only 80%. The child's disease is genetic, which means that this is probably a hereditary disease. There is a high likelihood she inherited it from her mother or father."
