Clutch of an uninfected family

"

When the epidemic was raging, patients with serious diseases who needed treatment were hit by the impact, and the hope of survival was increasingly slim under the squeeze of medical resources. The wife and daughter of Yang Shixiang, a native of Jingzhou, suffered from severe liver disease at the same time as the outbreak of the new crown, and he finally lost his wife. Widowed Yang Shixiang did not have time to clean up his mood and face his daughter's critical condition.

When the epidemic first spread, Yang Shixiang's wife was hospitalized in Gong'an County, Jingzhou City, due to hepatic ascites. Yang Shixiang was determined to hide from his wife and rush into Wuhan in the storm to see his daughter.

After a 4-hour bus ride alone, Yang Shixiang entered Wuhan.

It was the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in January 2020, and the passage was full of people. Some of the patients who looked very sick lay on the ground. The outpatient building was fenced off. Passing these patients and fences, Yang Shixiang hurried to the inpatient department.

At the entrance of the inpatient department, the queue is one kilometer long - during special periods, everyone who enters the inpatient building must register and take their temperature. In the team, many people wore masks, and those who wore two layers were not alone. Inside the building, doctors and nurses were in a hurry, and from time to time there were nurses with nervous tones, shouting urgently "hurry" and the like. A month ago, pneumonia of unknown cause occurred in Wuhan, and later, the virus that caused this pneumonia was officially named by WHO as the 2019 new coronavirus. As of January 16, 2020, Wuhan has reported a total of 41 cases of new coronavirus infection, 5 cases of severe illness and 2 deaths.

Yang Shixiang couldn't take care of these. On that cold winter day, liver disease spread in his family of four. First of all, his wife, who had suffered from liver cancer for two years, gave birth to hepatic ascites, and her daughter Yang Ying was also diagnosed with cirrhosis with malignant tumors half a month after her mother found out hepatic ascites. At the suggestion of local doctors, Yang Ying rushed from her hometown to Wuhan city with better medical conditions for treatment.

The news of his daughter's illness was hidden from his wife, so when his daughter Yang Ying was accompanied by her brother and other relatives to Wuhan for medical treatment, Yang Shixiang stayed in the hospital in Jingzhou Gong'an County to take care of his wife. When his wife asked about the children's situation, Yang Shixiang did not dare to tell the truth and told an imprudent lie - the children were good to find friends to play.

Doctors in Wuhan have suggested Yang Ying's liver transplant, and some have said that tumors can be removed. In the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, the doctor made an analogy, there is cirrhosis of the liver, as if it is a very poor soil, will not grow too good plants, after removing the tumor the probability of recurrence is very high, it is best to do transplantation.

"Little girl, can you make your own decisions?" The doctor asked Yang Ying.

Her parents were not around, Yang Ying made a plank herself, and went through the hospitalization procedures that afternoon. As luck would have it, she took up the last bed in the ward.

When Yang Shixiang rushed to the bedside, Yang Ying had already done liver intervention surgery to delay tumor growth, and the next step was to wait for liver transplantation.

On the evening of January 20, Zhong Nanshan made it clear that there was human-to-human transmission of pneumonia infected by the new crown virus, and people began to be vigilant about the epidemic. At two o'clock in the morning of January 23, the Wuhan Municipal Government urgently issued the First Lockdown Order, deciding to start the traffic lockdown from 10:00 a.m. on the same day, and most of the traffic in the urban area would be suspended, and the passage out of Wuhan would also be closed at the same time. The news spread to the Yang family's family group, and the relatives were confused.

In the face of the new crown virus, Yang Ying's liver transplant surgery can only give way first. In the panic, the adults of the family decided: no matter what, Yang Ying and her brother who took care of her could not be trapped in the hospital in Wuhan, where the risk of infection was extremely high.

Immediately, Yang Shixiang's nephew drove all the way to Wuhan to pick up people. During a short break at a hotel 10 kilometres from Central South Hospital, he found that there was not a single guest in the hotel and the parking lot was empty — many of whom had heard the news of the lockdown in the early hours of the morning and had left overnight. The street stations in Wuhan city are full of citizens who stop cars from going out of the city, because they can't know whether the virus has been lurking in the body of some passengers, some online car owners stop getting out of the car for safety, at that time in Wuhan, taxis and online car-hailing cars are already a car.

As soon as the lockdown order came out, Yang Ying's Zhongnan Hospital began to evacuate inpatients, the hospital was the first batch designated as a designated hospital for the new coronavirus after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and just the day before successfully treated a new coronavirus patient with ECMO technology. At that time, people knew very little about the virus, and this news was equivalent to spending a lot of manpower and material resources on the barren mountain to open up a small road, and a large number of media attention and reports on the treatment method and principle of this recovered case.

At present, as a designated hospital, a large number of resources have to be allocated to new crown pneumonia patients. Patients who are in stable condition are arranged to be discharged home as much as possible. In particular, the ICU ward should be vacated for the use of covid-19 patients. The news spread rapidly in the ward, and Yang Ying's patients also heard that there were already medical staff infected in the hospital, which showed the seriousness of the epidemic.

At 9:30, Yang Ying still had two bottles of drip that had not been finished. The nurse came to urge, "Hurry, hurry up before 10 o'clock, hurry up", and relatives in the family group are also urging. There was no way, Yang Ying herself adjusted the discharge speed of the infusion device to the fastest, the potion flowed straight down, her blood vessels bulged, and her arm then began to swell and hurt. In 10 minutes, the potion dripped more than half a bottle. By 9:40, the last bottle of potion was still a little left, Yang Ying was afraid of catching up, directly pulled out the needle, did not even handle the discharge procedures, pulled his brother to sit on his cousin's car, and rushed out of the city.

It was already afternoon to the home in the village. Many days later, Yang Ying's infusion hand was still bruised.

The day after I return home, I Chinese New Year's Eve. Yang Shixiang's wife, Luo Yan, also returned home from the hospital. At 5 p.m., the family of four gathered at home and sat around for Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

As the hostess of the family, Luo Yan was in good spirits, and in the morning she made Chinese New Year's Eve rice, made braised pork, and fried crucian carp. Daughter Yang Ying also helped make a few dishes. Although it is a reunion, there is a hint of confusion about the future that looms in the Yang family's house.

This is the most restless meal of Yang Shixiang's family Chinese New Year's Eve.

Luo Yan already knew about her daughter's illness at this time. Although she had been hidden from the news of her daughter's illness, Luo Yan was still aware of Yang Shixiang's abnormality. Her husband, who had been carefully caring for her, was hospitalized this time, but she always went out every once in a while to make a long phone call, and once disappeared for most of the day, and she couldn't see anyone and couldn't be contacted. The man came back and asked him what he was doing, but he couldn't say it clearly. She asked her husband, "Is it because I'm not in good health, you're not good to me, don't care about me." Yang Shixiang only denied it, nor did he explain the reason for the abnormality.

Or the son said on the phone that he missed his mouth, and he said that his sister had done a check-up, "the needle was inserted through the thigh artery". Luo Yan froze, she guessed what it was, the same operation, she also did it when she checked out liver cancer, that is, liver intervention surgery to delay the spread of liver cancer. She cried all night that day, and the next morning, she took her husband Yang Shixiang's hand and said: You must cure our daughter.

In the family, Yang Shixiang's mood should be the most complicated. He prayed that his wife could be treated well, no matter how it lasted for 5 years, he heard that cancer has a 5-year survival period, after 5 years, even if it is cured well; he hopes that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible, and his daughter can return to Wuhan for transplant surgery as soon as possible, before the disease develops in a worse direction. There is also a total of 600,000 yuan in surgical expenses — a huge amount of money for the Yang family, which cannot be paid by their own financial resources alone — and this amount must also be scraped together as soon as possible.

His wishes are too many, but each one must be fulfilled, so that the family can survive the difficulties and land safely. The road ahead is full of swamps, and the hardships are not yet known. But it was Chinese New Year's Eve night when he sat around with his family, and Yang Shixiang held out hope for the future, feeling that as long as people were still there, he could grit his teeth and hold on to this family.

In the next few days, his wife Luo Yan was in a good and bad state at home. Yang Shixiang was looking forward to the sunny days and planned to take his wife back to the hospital after the New Year. On the fifth day of the new year, Yang Shixiang did not want to delay any longer, and after breakfast, he took his wife out of the village, thinking that at least he would let his wife be admitted to the county hospital. The two children, who had coughed and had a low-grade fever after returning to the village from Wuhan, went to quarantine in an empty house at a relative's house in the town and did not follow.

Yang Shixiang rode a motorcycle, the large bag containing clothes was tied with a belt and fixed in the back seat, and his wife sat in the middle of him and the bag and set off. Due to the epidemic, the village entrance has been closed, and harvesters are blocking the entrance and exit. When they encountered the level, the couple could only push the motorcycle around.

Yang Shixiang pushed the motorcycle downhill slowly along the roadside embankment, bypassing the harvester and then pushing the cart uphill. His wife was sick, and her weak body couldn't help too much, so she followed Yang Shixiang and supported the motorcycle. The embankment was slippery and laborious to push. Along the way, I passed six or seven checkpoints, more than 60 kilometers from the village to the county, which used to take only 1 and a half hours to walk, but this time it took 4 hours to walk around. When they arrived at the county seat, Yang Shixiang's wife was admitted to the Gong'an County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

After staying in the Gong'an County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for a few days, Luo Yan's condition worsened. Yang Shixiang was very anxious, and on the thirteenth day of the first month, he took the film on a bus to Jingzhou City to discuss countermeasures with his wife's original attending doctor. The doctor replied that as far as the current condition is concerned, it may cost 100,000 yuan to achieve a good effect. Yang Shixiang said that money is not an obstacle, and there is a glimmer of hope that it will be cured. But the doctor still shook his head, in the special period, even if people live in, they may not get the ideal treatment, and it may not be much better than in Gong'an County. Yang Shixiang returned without success.

The situation in the Gong'an County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is also not optimistic. The wards were tense, liver patients were transferred to the rehabilitation ward, and some treatment instruments were inconvenient to use because of the change of wards. Yang Shixiang's wife infused potassium every day, and her body swelled uncomfortably. Once in a video chat with her daughter, the daughter saw her mother's face was yellow and her face was sunken, and she just finished saying: "Mom, how did you lose so much weight?" "I cried. My wife also cried. Yang Shixiang couldn't bear to look at it and came out of the ward. In the next few days, Yang Shixiang controlled the mobile phone and did not dare to let the mother and daughter video.

The wife did quickly wither, the weight quickly from 110 pounds to more than 90 pounds, defecation needs Yang Shixiang to support, things to eat vomit, every day groggy. Yang Shixiang was anxious in his heart, expecting the epidemic to improve quickly, and he wanted to take his wife to the big hospital immediately. At the end of February, the doctor asked Yang Shixiang to make psychological preparations and recommended that Luo Yan be discharged from the hospital. Yang Shixiang was not reconciled, in the past month, he was paying attention to the news that he could be transferred to a big hospital for treatment every day, but there was no news every day. He began to think that man was too small to be powerless in the face of fate and misfortune.

The wife also clamored to go home, and she did not listen to any dissuasion. On March 6, Yang Shixiang finally couldn't help his wife and agreed to leave the hospital and go home. The doctor said that she might not be able to hold on for two days.

On the first day of returning home, my wife's spirit was better. During the day, neighbors came to see her and chatted with her to relieve boredom. But that night, the wife was uncomfortable, tossed all night without sleep, from time to time to nagging her daughter and son, and also told Yang Shixiang that "we must cure our daughter." Honest Yang Shixiang was still the same as before, nodding his head and saying that he knew.

On the morning of the 7th, the wife fell unconscious and slowly "slept" over. Among those who came to visit the sick, an experienced elder said that she was gone.

An hour after his wife's death, Yang Shixiang met his daughter and son who rushed home. Hearing that her mother temporarily decided to be discharged from the hospital and return to the village, on March 6, Yang Ying's sister and brother began to apply for a permit to go home, a village acceptance permit and a town release certificate, and worked all day. After entering the house, the sisters and brothers learned that their mother had "gone", and they knelt in front of their mother's bed and cried unceasingly, refusing to get up for a long time.

Yang Shixiang was heartbroken.

In the early years, when he worked with his wife in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, her wife was diagnosed with liver disease. Since 2017, Yang Shixiang has spent more than 200,000 savings and is heavily in debt. As a result, he was unable to save his wife. The departure of his wife made Yang Shixiang feel that his daughter's condition could not wait for the epidemic to pass.

In the outside world, the epidemic is still pressing forward. In Wuhan, medical resources are tired of coping with the continuous increase in new coronavirus cases, and the telephone cannot be called. Yang Shixiang can only leave a Message to the doctor's WeChat every two days, asking when the department is open. The doctor replied to the message twice, both in a brief reply: "Not for the time being." ”

Through online consultation, the daughter contacted Dr. Ye Shaojun of the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, dr. Ye told the Yang family that because the epidemic situation in Wuhan is still unclear, it is difficult to carry out transplant surgery within two months, and suggested that Yang Ying not wait for the hospital in Wuhan to avoid delay, and recommended a number of hospitals with mature liver transplant surgery techniques in China.

Her daughter Yang Ying was also distraught, but she thought that as long as she did not collapse, her father would not collapse. After a day of calming down, she began to contact the hospital, successively two hospitals in Guangzhou, one phone could not be called, and the transplant department of the other hospital mechanically told her that the hospital stipulated that patients must register in the outpatient clinic, otherwise they would not be received. Yang Ying explained that she was in Hubei and needed a certificate from the hospital to apply for a pass, and wanted to register remotely first, but she was also rejected. After eating the closed door soup, Yang Ying did not complain, only felt bad luck, and rushed to get seriously ill at this juncture.

On March 20, 2020, she contacted the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen. The operator directly recommended Yang Ying to Dr. Zeng Xinchen of the liver transplant department and asked her to communicate directly with the doctor. After receiving Yang Ying's case on WeChat, Zeng Xinchen found Jiang Nan, the director of the department. Not long after, he replied to Yang Ying: "You hurry up and go to the hospital for further evaluation." ”

The daughter cried, and she finally heard hope. After Yang Shixiang learned about the cost of the operation with the doctor, he began to be a little concerned: "We only have more than 200,000 cash now, but the money can definitely be enough, but it still needs a little time." The doctor asked Yang Shixiang to take his daughter to the hospital first, so as not to delay the treatment. Receiving a reply from the doctor, Yang Shixiang immediately began to use the materials to be used.

The hospital asked the father and daughter to provide lung imaging data and nucleic acid testing before leaving. However, in The public security county at that time, the kits were insufficient, and several designated hospitals could not do nucleic acid testing. Yang Shixiang anxiously told Dr. Zeng about the situation, and did not think that after the hospital in Shenzhen studied, he actually agreed to let them go to Shenzhen to do nucleic acid testing as long as the lung imaging data.

On the morning of March 27, 2020, Yang Shixiang and his daughter took an 11-hour bus ride before finally arriving at Fuyong Station in Bao'an, Shenzhen. Rushing from Futian to the hospital, there are few vehicles on the road, the city is empty, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant water. The city outside the window is cold and cold, but the father and daughter have a different sense of intimacy and security in their hearts.

In fact, the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen Municipality, which decided to receive treatment, is also under great pressure. As an infectious disease hospital, it undertakes the centralized diagnosis and treatment of new crown pneumonia patients in the city. At the same time, the diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe liver disease, liver transplantation, AIDS and tuberculosis is preserved.

It is difficult to save a survival channel for many non-severe COVID-19 patients.

The intensive care ICU and major medical forces are supporting the new crown, and the transplant department has been forced to temporarily transform the CCU of the cardiology department into an ICU for transplant patients. The CCU equipment was seriously insufficient, and finally the whole hospital could only collect equipment.

The risk of hospitality is also very high. During the new crown period, there was a liver patient from the northeast who was negative when he set out, arrived at the hospital and tested for a suspicious positive, and the whole department jumped. The hospital's sense of hospitality has put great pressure on the whole hospital, but the doctors still decided to treat prevention and control with a scientific spirit, and the life-saving transplant department must be opened.

To avoid cross-infection, the transplant department was moved from the 17th floor to the 20th floor, and the critically ill patients were also transferred with the bed. Isolation measures are set up in the ward, the passage can only be one-way, and the family can only go to the outer corridor, separated from the medical work area.

Under the doctor's arrangement, Yang Shixiang took his daughter into a single room in an isolation ward, and the hospital would not let them contact other patients until the results of the father's and daughter's accounting came out. Because sufficiently strict isolation precautions were formulated and implemented, no nosocomial infection occurred in various departments of the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen. The liver transplant department visited by the father and daughter also received more patients than before the outbreak. When Yang Shixiang and his daughter arrived, the number of hospitalized people in the department was about 30, and everyone had moved here for treatment from all over the world, and one of the patients still drove 1700 kilometers from Sichuan Mianyang Hospital to do the operation.

While waiting for the liver source, the doctor and Yang Shixiang introduced the risks of Yang Ying's liver transplant surgery.

After more than an hour of conversation, Yang Shixiang did not dare to look into the doctor's eyes or at the paper on the table full of words. Words such as "heavy bleeding", "cardiac arrest", "abdominal bleeding", "organ failure" and "arterial thrombosis" floating into the ears all mean a fatal danger. For a few moments, Yang Shixiang thought of giving up the operation because he was afraid of these unexpected situations to take away his daughter.

It is impossible to really give up. This operation is the purpose of the father-daughter journey. Yang Shixiang felt that he had been forced into a corner and had to give it a go. When he picked up the pen, his hands were shaking, but he was still fierce, and quickly signed the surgical risk notice.

The daughter later became aware of the various risks of surgery. At this point, she did not have great joy and sorrow, but felt like she was being pushed forward by something invisible and untouchable. She didn't want to talk too much about her illness with her patients because the more she knew, the more frightened she became.

Yang Shixiang did not wait for the liver source silently, he secretly decided that if he could not wait for the liver source, he would cut off 60% of his liver to his daughter when necessary. He secretly found a doctor from his daughter to inquire about the feasibility of this treatment plan, and under the doctor's arrangement, he did relevant examinations and early assessments, and transferred the original hometown medical insurance in Shenzhen to a different place for this time.

Yang Ying soon learned of Yang Shixiang's plan, and the two had an argument for the first time. In order to treat the disease, the larger the liver volume transplanted into Yang Ying's body, the better, but Yang Shixiang is already old, and the larger the donated liver area, the higher the risk he will bear. Emotionally excited, Yang Ying cried at Yang Shixiang: "If we both have an accident, what should we do!" "The arguments are fruitless. The father and daughter continued to suffer in waiting for the liver source every day, during which the father and daughter were notified 24 hours a day to prepare for surgery, but in the end, because of the more urgent patients, the liver source was given to each other, and the father and daughter could only continue to wait.

On the 28th day of waiting for the liver source, at six o'clock in the evening of April 21, the father and daughter were preparing to eat dinner, when the nurse suddenly came to inform: "Don't eat, prepare for surgery." ”

The surgery really came. Yang Shixiang pushed his daughter to the door of the operating room until the family could no longer follow. He repeatedly told his daughter: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As his daughter entered the operating room, he and his daughter clapped: "Come on. The daughter laughed a little and didn't say much.

The liver that was ready to be transplanted into Yang Ying's body was wrapped in more than three layers in sterile bags, covered with crushed ice, and packed in a transfer box and sent to the operating room.

The operation began at 9:30 p.m., and the department director Jiang Nan took the lead. Yang Ying's liver function is poor, the coagulation function is poor, and every knife will bleed. While the knife opens the abdomen layer by layer, the doctor must stop the bleeding place in time. The liver has many ligaments and blood vessels that connect to the surroundings, so the ligaments must be slowly disconnected, followed by the hepatic arteries, portal veins, and vena cava. After liver resection, it is placed in a specimen bag, followed by an unusually complex transplantation operation such as the docking and suturing of the new liver and the human blood vessels.

Outside the operating room, Yang Shixiang was alone, very panicked, sitting or standing, and called different relatives one after another to relieve tension. He didn't feel hungry or sleepy.

At about 2:00 a.m., someone in the operating room came out, it was Dr. Jiang Nan, and Yang Shixiang quickly greeted him. Before he could speak, Dr. Jiang nodded at him, "The operation was quite successful." Yang Shixiang felt that a large stone had fallen to the ground in his heart. In the operating room, the operation is not completely over, and after the main link is over, it needs to be carefully concluded. Yang Shixiang waited until 8:30 a.m., and the 11-hour operation was over.

Yang Ying was pushed out of the operating room lying on the bed, with many tubes inserted in her body, Yang Shixiang walked over and gently called her nickname, Yang Ying gently raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Daddy." Then his eyes closed again. The doctor on the side reminded Yang Shixiang not to talk to his daughter, and he did not dare to say anything more, held his daughter's hand, and accompanied his daughter on the hospital bed to the door of the ICU. Guard outside.

When Yang Ying woke up for the second time, her father was allowed to come in and visit. After completing the operation together, both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Shixiang thought of his wife, he completed the entrustment of his wife, and could not help but burst into tears.

Perhaps because of her good physical background, the next day, Yang Ying was transferred from the ICU back to the general ward. When the gauze was first uncovered, yang ying was startled by the wound, which was a wound shaped like the mercedes-Benz logo, the incision was 20 centimeters long, and the wound was sewn up, making her feel like it was bound with a stapler. In a sense, liver transplant surgery is not the end, but another beginning. Patients should take anti-rejection drugs for life after surgery, change their living habits, insist on exercise, and review regularly. Fully adapting to this life takes time and requires a strong heart.

The day after Yang Ying returned to the general ward, she began to get out of bed and walk and exercise, because the patient told her that the sooner she exercised, the better, and every step of the exercise was tearing the body like pain, but she also couldn't bear not to say it. After a month of delay, Yang Ying's wound was completely healed, and the pain in the wound every day was unbearable. She also has discomfort in other organs inside her body, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, fatigue, hair loss, mouth ulcers, diarrhea and other reactions. Yang Ying also had to take medicine in batches every day, and she had to eat more than a dozen kinds of medicines each time. Under all kinds of torture, she will suddenly have an emotional breakdown at a certain moment. Seeing his daughter recovering with difficulty, Yang Shixiang was very distressed about his daughter. Afraid that ordering takeaway is unhygienic, he often walks to the market to buy some fish, and returns to the ward to secretly use an electric pot to make some fish soup for his daughter to supplement nutrition.

He found a job in the hospital, responsible for transporting specimens to various departments, accompanying patients, and sometimes cleaning in the wards, earning 3,000 yuan a month. There are 4 days off every month, he has not taken a day off, in order to treat his daughter, the family owes more than 300,000 yuan, overtime and overtime pay. His arrangements for the future are simple, going to work to pay off debts, taking care of his daughter, helping her regain confidence in her future life, and watching her marry and have children.

When he was most short of money, Yang Shixiang thought about raising money online, but was stopped by Yang Ying. Yang Ying is worried that her illness will leave traces on the Internet and she will not be able to find a job in the future. So far, her friends didn't know she was sick. The disease of the liver has become Yang Ying's weakness, and she knows that she cannot live an ordinary life as her father wishes, and she does not want to let herself have too many expectations. Looking at her father, who was getting old to save herself, Yang Ying was glad that she had no children and was not yet married. Because there are no other responsibilities in the body, I can do filial piety for my father wholeheartedly in the future: "Now my responsibility is only my father." ”

The epidemic is gradually easing, and people's lives are beginning to return to normal, working and going to school. The epidemic is like a nightmare, and Yang Shixiang and his daughter seem to have experienced a nightmare in a nightmare, in which many people are trying their best to find hope for life.

One day, Yang Shixiang accompanied his daughter to get medicine. In the days of taking care of his daughter, Yang Shixiang always did not trust his daughter, and he had to accompany her when she went to check and get medicine, and did all kinds of things, just like when she accompanied her wife before. Among the people queuing up to receive the medicine, a strange middle-aged woman asked Yang Ying: "Who are you giving this medicine to?" Hearing that it was for Yang Ying to eat, the woman sighed. She took out her mobile phone and showed Yang Shixiang and her daughter a picture of a young boy. The photo was taken in 2017, and the boy in the photo is 185 centimeters and looks handsome. The woman said that it was her child, a year younger than Yang Ying, who had the same disease as her. She drew a new picture of the child, the boy's face was yellow, thin and dry. He already had severe hepatic ascites, did not have the conditions for a liver transplant, and only died waiting for him.

Bidding farewell to the middle-aged woman, the father and daughter went home. The woman's despair and sadness both father and daughter understand. Yang Ying survived after all, and for the father and daughter, this is a blessing in misfortune.
