1. Prologue (only the prologue is in the first person)
"Miss Nan, we've done our best. www.biquge.info Lingmei has now fallen into a severe coma, and various organs in her body are gradually failing...... If there was still no suitable bone marrow, she would have died eight hours later. ”
The doctor pushed his glasses back, his voice flat, and his tone was flat, as if a patient's death had nothing to do with him.
Listening to his almost cold words, my hand on my knee clenched tightly: "No...... Other ways? ”
"Not really." The doctor also showed a wry smile, "Maybe there will be Sandstar in Area A, which has always been the birthplace of various emerging technologies...... But you see, although we are the best hospital, but this is Zone D after all, and it may take a year or two for all kinds of new technologies to be popularized here, and your sister ...... It won't be until then. ”
“…… Good. I heard my voice cold, "With my bone marrow...... Transplant it to my sister, please...... Please prepare for surgery as soon as possible. ”
"You've finally figured it out." Dr. Li pulled out a smile, "Don't worry too much, although the bone marrow is not exactly matched, you are twin sisters after all, and the success rate is about 70 percent......"
I bowed my head and shook my head slightly: "The success rate of the operation is 70%, but the survival rate after surgery is only 'probably'......"
The doctor sighed: "Nan Yuge and your blood type is already very special, and you two have a special physique. To be honest, when Nan Yuge's information was reported, I didn't have any hope at all. ”
"Anyway, thank you. Doctor, I need one more thing to trouble you...... I applied for a preoperative injection of a cell division catalyst. ”
"What, you ......"
I smiled: "I know the consequences, and I am willing to sign the risk letter." If I and Ge'er both die on the operating table...... If it is really that unfortunate, the hospital will not be held responsible. ”
Dr. Li was silent for a long time and looked up at me: "If there is a sudden rejection or failure reaction during the operation, it is completely possible to inject Nan Yuge with catalyst at that time." IMHO, the catalyst is too harmful to the body of the average person. You're healthy, and your sister doesn't have a three-percent chance of recovery. ”
"There's a 1 percent chance of trying it too." I thought of Ge'er, and a slight pain appeared in my heart, "If I wait until that time, not to mention the role of catalysts, her body functions will not be able to withstand many rapid cell divisions." ”
Li Bo had to admit that what Nan Wanjun said was very reasonable.
“…… Okay, I'll submit the application for you. Dr. Li looked at me deeply, and his eyes were inexplicable, "If you inject that, even if the operation is successful, you will only have a maximum of three years to live, if the operation is not successful...... You will die on the operating table with Nan Yuge. You're still young, think about it. ”
“…… Thank you. ”
I didn't go to see Ge'er and walked straight out of the hospital. The two artificial suns of Nolan hung high in the sky, but I didn't feel the slightest warmth.
Tell us about yourself. My name is Nan Wanjun, and I am a 29-year-old fifth-year student at an ordinary college of higher learning.
My twin sister Nan Yuge and I have been raised by our mother Lin Zhiran for as long as I can remember, and it seems that there has never been a trace of our father in our short life. And since my mother's death, I've been living with my only sister, Nan Yuge - and I have to say that Ge'er and I are fraternal twins, and we have the most similar genetics to me. Although I was born only ten minutes before her and was my sister, she inherited all the defective genes from both parents for me, so that I was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia soon after birth.
There are no examples of cures for this disease in the medical archives of the Interstellar Alliance government. Well, at least for now, in the year 2731 of the Gregorian calendar, there is none. The only way to survive is an allogeneic bone marrow transplant.
Although they are twins, the bone marrow type of Ge'er and I is not a complete match, and if it is forcibly transplanted, there is only a 70% success rate. The blood type of the two of us is a special JK (a-b-) type, and we have a special constitution, and we have not found a completely suitable bone marrow for more than 20 years.
But I don't dare to let Ge'er take this 30% risk. It is important to know that an allogeneic bone marrow transplant is only a possible method, and the chance of survival after surgery is only a vague "approximation", which means that even if the surgery is successful, it may not be possible to survive......
I got on a star car and was home quickly.
I cleaned up my room for the last time and packed my laundry. Finally, I turned on my light brain and wrote down a scheduled email.
Brother Lozhe:
By the time you read this email, I had passed away. Please don't be sad and bury me and Ge'er next to my mother. The gated code at home is ********, sell all my stuff except Arlo. Please take this money, be filial to Master for me, take care of Qingran, and live for me.
Senior sister, Wanjun.
If the surgery goes well, I'll come back to cancel this email if I'm dead...... This email is my suicide note.
Fingers ran over the smooth silver-white game pod in the corner, and I stepped out of the house without hesitation.
In July 2731 of the Gregorian calendar, at the D-21 Star - Nolan Star Central Hospital, my sister Nan Yuge and I were pushed into the sterile operating room at the same time.
Ge'er has been in a state of awakening from time to time since a long time ago, and even fell into a permanent coma a few hours ago. Through the polished glass, I tilted my head to look at my sister, who was sleeping quietly on the bed next to me.
Her side face was beautiful, her long eyelashes hung gently, her lips were dry, her skin was sickly pale, and her body was unusually thin.
I don't look much like Ge'er. Her eyebrows and eyes are soft and beautiful, a pair of big almond eyes seem to contain a puddle of water, and she has two sweet dimples when she laughs, which is very much like her quiet and introverted character, and also like her mother. And I, not only in appearance, but also in personality are very different from Ge'er, maybe I followed the father I had never met, right?
The anesthetic and cell division catalyst seem to be starting to work in my cells at the same time.
My head felt a little groggy and heavy, and there was a tearing pain in various parts of my body, and I could clearly feel that the organs of my body were gradually falling into a deep sleep.
It hurts...... I looked hard at my dearest sister one last time. For her sake, I am willing to endure such extreme pain for three years......
My last loved ones.
The mind has long since become a chaos. I slowly closed my eyes, and faintly heard a faint sigh coming from the void.
