The next day, just as John was enjoying his breakfast and enjoying the sun, Liang walked in.

Doudou's grandmother was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and there was not much time left. ”

"What ......!"

John swooped up from his chair. The advanced stage of liver cancer is not easy to cure even in the early 90s, even after 20 years.

The liver usually only needs a quarter of the body to function normally, so most liver cancer patients are basically at an advanced stage once found. What's more, liver cancer is not only common, but cancer cells often block the portal vein blood vessels, so even if a liver transplant is performed, it will recur quickly.

After learning that Doudou's grandmother was suffering from liver cancer, John rushed to Union Hospital as soon as possible.

Union Hospital, the best hospital in China, was founded in 1921 by the Rockefeller Foundation.

"Dean Zhu, can Grandma Doudou's illness be treated with a liver transplant?" John knew it couldn't be, but he asked anyway. He wanted to see if a miracle would happen.

"Hey!" Dean Zhu shook his head helplessly. "Grandma Doudou is too old, and because of long-term malnutrition, her physical fitness is too poor to withstand the transplant operation. And even if she can withstand the operation, she can't find a suitable ** in that short time. Even if you find **, the survival rate of liver transplant surgery in China is very, very low. ”

The first liver transplant in Huaxia was performed in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Second Medical College in 1977, and the success rate of liver transplantation in Huaxia was less than 10% from the 70s to the 80s. From 84 to 90 years, due to the lack of **, high cost, poor postoperative and other reasons, Huaxia's liver transplant surgery fell into a low period. It was not until the early 90s of the 20th century, under the background of the increasingly mature liver transplantation technology in European and American countries, that a large number of young and middle-aged scholars in China returned from studying abroad and formed a liver transplant team, which slowly developed liver transplantation in China.

Therefore, it is impossible to carry out liver transplantation in Huaxia now, and even if it is reluctantly implemented, it will increase the pain of patients.

"Dean Zhu, how long does Doudou's grandmother have left?" After knowing that it was impossible, John could only reluctantly accept the facts. Money is not everything in this world. is also like the Morgan family, but each generation of patriarchs still can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death.

"Two weeks at most!" Dean Zhu stretched out two fingers and gestured. As a doctor, the most helpless thing is: there is nothing you can do.

"Dean Zhu, I only have one request now, please let Doudou's grandmother walk more peacefully and with dignity. "From ancient times to the present, no matter how amazing a breakthrough in medicine may be, death is still invincible. But at least there is an option to leave with dignity.

After the conversation, John left the dean's office with a heavy heart and went to Grandma Doudou's hospital room.

"Brother, why are you here? Doudou saw John enter the hospital room and ran to John with some surprise.

"I'm here to see Doudou and Grandma!" John immediately changed his smile and touched Doudou's head affectionately. "Doudou, you're hungry! I'll ask Sister Dani to take you to eat something delicious, and I'm taking you to take a shower and change your clothes. ”

After Dani took Doudou away, John came to Grandma Doudou's bed, looked at the emaciated and pale old man, and said, "Hello, old man, my name is John Christian Deng Morgan, you can call me John or you can call me Morgan." ”

The old man struggled to sit up from the bed. "Hello, Mr. Morgan, thank you for taking care of you. ”

"It's just a gesture, don't care. The most important thing now is to take care of your body. John didn't want to tell the old man that her time was short. Many people are not afraid of dying, but are afraid of knowing when they will die.

The old man smiled slightly at John's words. "Mr. Morgan doesn't have to comfort me, my body I know. I have enjoyed blessings and hardships in my life, experienced wars, enjoyed peace, gained and lost, and have lived until now, and I am also very content, but the only thing that can not rest assured is that Doudou is not at ease. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a brocade box from under his pillow and handed it to John tremblingly. "Mr. Morgan, this is my family's heirloom, my mother gave it to me when I got married, no matter how hard life is, I am not willing to sell it, I just want to wait until Doudou gets married, but unfortunately I can't wait for this day now, so I want to ask you to help me transfer it to her when Doudou gets married." ”

John took the brocade box with both hands and opened it to take a look, and his eyes suddenly turned green. Inside the brocade box is a necklace. "Old man, if you give me such a valuable necklace for safekeeping, you won't be afraid that I will be greedy for ink. ”

The old man on the side smiled hard when he heard John's words. "Mr. Morgan is not an ordinary person at first glance, and he cares so much about a necklace. And being able to send me, an old woman I don't know, to the hospital for treatment, is enough to prove that my husband's character is not bad. So definitely not to be greedy for this necklace. ”

John nodded. "Old man, when Doudou grows up, I will definitely give her the necklace. Although the necklace was precious, John was not so greedy as to have a clear conscience. Besides, if he really wanted to, there were several in the underground vault of Morgan Manor.

"Old man, if you have any wishes that you have to fulfill, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you. John felt that since the old man already knew that his time was numbered, he did not need to hide it.

After the old man heard John's words, his eyes were filled with tears: "I can't rest assured that Doudou will have no relatives in this world after I leave, and I hope that after leaving, Mr. Morgan can arrange a better orphanage for Doudou." ”

"Old man, if you don't worry, you can hand over Doudou to me, I will arrange for Doudou to study in the UK, and when she graduates from college, I will take care of her by my side, and I will definitely arrange a decent job for her at that time. Ever since John learned that Doudou's grandmother had terminal liver cancer, he had planned to take care of Doudou.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Morgan. The old man bowed his head to John and thanked him. "Mr. Morgan, I will repay you for your great kindness in the next life as a cow and a horse. ”

John looked at the excited old man and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. "No thanks, I liked this child very much when I saw Doudou for the first time, so don't worry, I will take care of Doudou, although I can't let her be windy and rainy, but it's okay to live a lifetime without being bullied." ”
