Chapter 316: I'm Not a Saint, Just Hopeless and Exhaust

Mr. Lu""It's fine." The pained man, looking guilty, covered his lower back with one hand, gritting his teeth against the pain and shaking his head nervously at the woman. "I'm fine.""Don't move." The..."What... do you mean" Jian Mo stood there, dumbfounded. At the bedside, Jian Tong turned to leave, but he hurriedly grabbed her arm. "You...you really found a suitable bone marrow donor"

He stared intently at the woman by the bed. At this moment, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest. Jian Tong lowered her eyes, her gaze locking onto Jian Mobai's... Tension, anxiety, anticipation, and hope.

The hope of survival.

A gentle smile graced her lips, radiant and bright: "Yes, I found it. Brother, you will live."

With a casual glance, Jian Mo Bai lifted his plate of noodles and slowly extended a slender hand to pull him away. That hand, thin and delicate, seemed to have made up its mind.

As she turned to walk to the door...

In the hospital bed, Jian Mo Bai suddenly froze. At the door, his sister, with a smile in her eyes, was an image he could never forget for the rest of his life.

"Brother, live well."

As soon as the words left his lips, the door

closed.

Before Jian Mo Bai could even utter his "thank you," the words echoed through the hospital room.

He hurriedly and excitedly called Mrs. Jian: "Mom, I'm saved! I'm not going to die!"

He excitedly and hurriedly reported the good news.

On the phone, Mrs. Jian couldn't believe what she was hearing. She hesitated for three seconds before finally confirming that she hadn't misheard, it wasn't a dream. "Really Really Who is it Who could be so kind"

Mom wants to thank everyone.

I'll call that heartless little sister of yours right now. She's your own blood, yet she doesn't even care about her brother when he's in trouble.

People don't have any relationship with you, even strangers feel pity for you.

"I think she's fine."

Jian Mo's pale cheeks flushed instantly, her ears burning with shame. She lowered her voice uncomfortably, "Mom, don't do this. This person who donated bone marrow was found by Xiao Tong."

Jian Mu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she started being unreasonable: "It doesn't matter, she found it, not her donated bone marrow. It's not that she doesn't want to donate her bone marrow to you, so she had to spend time finding volunteers"

Do you think she's doing this for you

"She was doing it for herself."

Jian Mo's face flushed even redder: "Mom, I'm tired. I don't want to talk anymore."

Not long after, his attending physician came and told him he could undergo a bone marrow transplant.

Jian Mo Bai hesitated for a moment, the question "who" never leaving his lips.

The doctor simply said, "You're lucky. So from today onwards, you need to start some pre-operative preparations. I'll prescribe antibiotics, which you must take. We'll check your various physical signs to make sure everything is normal, and once it is, we'll immediately arrange the surgery for you."

The doctor also knew his condition and asked, "There are some things I need to discuss with you and your family face-to-face. Whether the surgery is successful or not, we have to wait until after the operation for a month."

……

"Ms. Jian, are you sure you want to donate bone marrow"

Although one kidney is missing, medically speaking, it's harmless to humans. One kidney can still support life." The nurse in charge explained, but some words were still vague. Even so, those who listened understood her meaning.

In real life, anyone who is missing a kidney, whether they sold it or not, will experience a decline in their quality of life and weakened physique. They won't be able to do heavy work and will easily get tired... These after-effects will manifest one by one in the lives of people who are missing a kidney.

Believe this, you yourself will understand it better.

Medically speaking, the human body has the ability to regenerate bone marrow, just like leeks, which will grow back after being cut.

But your health condition... and, before donating bone marrow, you need to inject growth factors for four to five consecutive days. We collect hematopoietic stem cells. After collection, ordinary people might have a fever for one to two days.

But your situation is special.

Moreover, surgery always carries a risk of failure. Collecting hematopoietic stem cells is not entirely safe either and still carries a small degree of danger. Although this risk is almost negligible, any treatment in a hospital has a certain failure rate and potential risks.

And, your situation is indeed very special.

Ms. Jian, have you thought it through

"I've thought it through. I take full responsibility for any consequences." She picked up the pen and, one by one, wrote her name on the donation form, the name on her ID card—Shen Tong.

"You're not surnamed Jian, are you" The nurse was surprised.

Jian Tong said lightly, "My grandfather's surname was Jian. He changed it later."

The nurse looked at her, puzzled by what she said... Grandfather's surname was Jian, but he changed it later

……

Jian Tong was home, and only then did she realize there was a tall figure standing at the door.

Before she could even consciously turn around and leave, she forced herself to stop. She suppressed her desire to escape and walked in front of him. "I saw your calls and messages."

Without waiting for the other person to speak, the woman spoke slowly.

The man's dark eyes gazed deeply into hers: "Hmm," he replied softly, his gaze unyielding as he asked,

"Why don't you answer your phone calls and text messages"

Under that scorching gaze, the woman spoke softly, "You were the one who broke the agreement first. I told you to let me be alone with my thoughts, and you agreed, didn't you"

Agreed, why come over here to bother her

This is what she was really thinking.

The man's eyes flickered, as if acknowledging her statement.

His eyes, still deep and dark, never left her. His voice, low and soft, spoke slowly:

Where did you go

Seemingly ordinary questions.

The woman casually slipped her hand into her pocket and said calmly, "I didn't go anywhere. I had afternoon tea with Vivian."

"Oh... I see."

She had a feeling that beneath his seemingly indifferent words, there was something else.

He shook his head... Don't be afraid. Back then, he must have been preoccupied with Lady Shen's chaotic affairs and had no reason to be afraid. How could he possibly know what she had done

"Won't you invite me in"

The man raised an eyebrow slightly, watching her hesitate to pull out the key and open the door.

Jian Tong feigned composure: "Okay, just give me some personal space, let me calm down for a while. Could it be... you're going to deceive me again"

The man's black eyes narrowed suddenly, gazing deeply into the woman's unwavering gaze across from him, "Alright, I'll give you time. I'll give you time."

He turned and walked into the elevator. Standing inside, facing the woman with a tense expression by the door, he spoke in a low voice, concealing a hint of barely perceptible pain:

"Little one, all I want is for you to stay by my side, for your whole life."

A slender figure at the door shuddered suddenly, mumbling a soft "hmm" and lowering her head.

"A lifetime is too far away, I dare not think about it," she murmured softly to the already closed elevator door. She took out her keys and stepped into the darkness of that room, just like her heart at this moment...had sunk into the abyss.

She is not a saint, and she knows the dangers that exist in bone marrow donation, even if they are not inevitable. For her body, which is currently overdrawn, the risk is dozens of times higher than for ordinary people.

Donating bone marrow is like taking a gamble.

Is she lucky enough

I used to be afraid to gamble because many...

Now, Jian Shi is gradually on the right track, and his grandfather's hard work has finally been preserved.

The Jian family had flourished for generations, and she had not brought about its ruin. Thus, she could be worthy of her deceased grandfather and those who had given her kindness. As for those favors, pure or impure, she had come to see them as insignificant.

When she returned home, she had already made a decision: to find a suitable bone marrow donor for her brother. If it came down to the wire and her brother could no longer hold on, then...

Yes, it was decided that way when I came back from Lake Erhai.

Grandfather said, the Jian family, is Jian Mo Bai's.

As long as the Jian family still exists, how can Jian Mo Bai die

She wasn't so great as to be willing to die for him, so she hoped more than anyone else that a healthy and suitable bone marrow donor could be found for Jian Mo Bai.

She didn't want that kind of "greatness," like "glorious death." She still wanted to see the blooming flowers and the gentle breeze on Erhai Lake.

Still wanting to burn paper money for Alu every year, chattering on and on.

She thought that Shen Xiujin, who had lost his memory, was a hot potato and a big trouble.

But this big trouble, during his amnesia, once again made her crave his meticulous care, tenderness, and innocence.

As it turns out, she really was the one.

Shen Xiujin, you made me feel my heart beat again, and then once more pushed me into hell.

You want me to stay by your side forever... You're still the same as before, selfish, stubborn, forceful, and domineering.

You haven't changed, you're still the same!

It has always stayed the same!

Day after day, the one who cooked for her was a fraud!

That night after night, the one who covered her feet was a swindler!

The person who keeps saying "Whatever Tongtong says, Ah Xiu believes, Tongtong is the most important" is a liar!

"Swindler!" A woman's rough voice, filled with sorrow, echoed from the dark hallway.

They are all deceiving her!

That's his way!

He uses those "goods" only as means to achieve his purpose!

He has never changed. In his eyes, this is just a game, but the one who can say "stop" is only him!

He was just acting, but he stood in the play and watched her laughing at him!

It's all done, I can put the burden down on my shoulders... time for bed.

In the darkness, a woman's eyes, filled with despair and exhaustion... She was just tired, utterly exhausted.

Vivian arrived at her home as scheduled. Jian Tong poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her:

"Jian Shi is now gradually getting back on track. "

"You've been running around with me this whole time," Jian Tong handed Vivian the pre-prepared stock grant agreement.

"Sign here."

Vivian picked it up and glanced at it, then suddenly sat upright. She quickly skimmed through it, and after a long pause, her face turned grave. "You want to give me 5% of the shares of Jian Shi"

"Sign here, it's what you deserve." Jian Tong said, "You know me, once I make a decision, it's hard to go back. If you don't want it, then I'll convert this portion of shares into money and donate it to impoverished regions in your name."

"What are you doing This is..."

Jian Tong let out a light chuckle, interrupting Vivian: "You want the horse to run fast and also not eat grass There's no such thing in the world. I gave you the shares, it wasn't for free. I was hoping that you, Vivian, would join me in conquering the world. You think I'm buying people over with money"

She really did understand Vivian. Vivian let out a breath of relief, dispelling the doubts in her heart, and smiled mischievously as she signed with a pen: "I'll sign, don't regret it later."

Jian Tong smiled faintly and shook her head. "No regrets." topic's conversation. 。"Little one," he suddenly reached out and grasped Jian Tong's hand, "Little one, no matter what you say, I believe you" 。Kane spoke with utmost gravity and solemnity. 。Jian Ton...
