Tang Yiyi's words made Tang Xu's scalp tingle.
"Where are there any ghosts in this world? Don't scare yourself."
"I really saw it, it's real."
"There aren't any."
"There are, it's so scary, Third Brother, I'm so scared, don't leave me."
...
No matter how Tang Xu tried to explain to Tang Yiyi, she was possessed, insisting that ghosts were after her life.
Tang Xu, a medical student, believed only in science, not in ghosts or deities.
Fortunately, Tang Yiyi's arm only had superficial flesh wounds that were stitched up.
Apart from that, there were no other external injuries.
Given Tang Yiyi's current state, Tang Xu dared not let her be discharged from the hospital.
Her kidney damage had already progressed to kidney failure.
Treatment was imperative, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tang Ye, who was taking care of Tang Zhongcheng in general surgery, heard that Tang Yiyi was hospitalized again and came to see her.
"Why is she delirious?"
Tang Yiyi was curled up in bed, her eyes vacant, muttering incessantly.
"There are ghosts."
"There are ghosts."
...
Tang Ye said, "If you have a clear conscience, you won't fear a knock on the door in the dead of night."
"She's already suffered enough, don't add insult to injury," Tang Xu said displeasedly.
Tang Ye shrugged and let out a cold laugh.
"Heh."
"Mom isn't well, and Dad still can't eat anything. Yet you have the time to worry about Tang Yiyi."
"In your heart, Dad and Mom are less important than Tang Yiyi, right? Tang Xu, what are you after her for?"
Tang Xu's face turned pale, and he was momentarily speechless.
"I..."
"If none of you care about Yiyi, and I stop caring about whether she lives or dies, she really won't survive."
"Her kidney failure is more severe than you can imagine. Not everyone is as cold-blooded and heartless as you."
Tang Ye was shocked.
Then he gave a self-mocking laugh.
"Heh, I'm cold-blooded. For her, I was ruined and left the entertainment industry. Considering our years of siblinghood, I've done all I could for her."
"Tang Xu, you're so noble, so amazing. You must take care of Tang Yiyi for the rest of her life and never let her be wronged."
Tang Ye left in anger, too lazy to bother with the incorrigible Tang Xu.
He returned to general surgery and mentioned Tang Yiyi's situation to Tang Zhongcheng.
Tang Zhongcheng listened to Tang Yiyi's condition and said nothing.
He didn't want to, nor could he, manage it.
...
Butler Wang arrived, bringing Tang Zhongcheng some clothes and a beautiful fruit basket.
"Mr. Tang, Madam thanks you for your bravery at the birthday banquet. She said she will cover your medical expenses and also give you one million as compensation."
Butler Wang handed a bank card to Tang Zhongcheng.
Tang Zhongcheng frowned upon seeing it.
"Does this mean... she still doesn't intend to forgive me?"
Tang Zhongcheng had clearly thought that after he took a stab wound, Zhang Meiyu's hard heart would have softened.
Evidently, he was mistaken.
"Mr. Tang, Madam believes in dealing with matters separately. She is grateful for your bravery, but there are some things she cannot forgive."
"Madam also said this is not just between you and her, but also involves Miss, who was implicated by you. It's best for everyone if you don't bother each other."
Tang Zhongcheng felt a bitterness so profound he couldn't utter a word.
The bank card in his hand felt like a mountain, crushing him.
After a long while, he returned the bank card to Butler Wang.
"The trouble was caused by me, and I brought danger to her. How can I be qualified to accept her compensation?"
"I've wronged her. Anything I do for her is only right. Please return this card to her on my behalf."
"From now on, I will never disturb her life again."
Butler Wang was slightly taken aback, took the bank card, and left.
After this incident, Tang Zhongcheng had come to a realization.
The mistakes he had made could not be rectified, even if he were to sacrifice his life.
Mutual non-interference was the last peace he could offer her.
...
Meanwhile.
Tang Yiyi's condition was already not optimistic.
Coupled with the shock and her delirium, she was not cooperating with the treatment.
Her kidney failure worsened day by day, and she became increasingly gaunt.
Tang Xu had been worried sick for days about Tang Yiyi's condition.
To treat Tang Yiyi, he invited an authoritative expert in the field whom he knew to treat her.
"Dr. Sun, how much longer can Yiyi's condition hold on?"
After reviewing Tang Yiyi's medical records and all her tests, Dr. Sun Yongnian's expression was grave.
"Dr. Tang, based on my clinical experience, Tang Yiyi's kidneys will not last more than six months."
"Within these six months, her kidney failure will also cause many complications, ultimately endangering her life."
"I suggest you prepare early, find a kidney donor for her, and proceed with surgery as soon as possible."
Tang Yiyi had reached the point where a kidney transplant was absolutely necessary.
Tang Xu was filled with regret.
If only he had known she would misuse medication, he wouldn't have prescribed it for her.
He had done it for her own good at the time and never expected Tang Yiyi to abuse the medication, harming herself.
It was too late to say anything now.
"Dr. Sun, I will do my best to find a kidney source as soon as possible."
Sun Yongnian patted Tang Xu's shoulder.
"We are both in the medical field, try to stay positive and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Mm."
Tang Xu nodded.
Subsequently, he used his position to search for a suitable kidney donor for Tang Yiyi.
Currently, this was limited to the hospital's internal database.
Tang Xu felt this was not enough, so he spent money to search for a kidney donor for Tang Yiyi on the "dark web."
For Tang Yiyi, he abandoned his professional ethics as a doctor.
However, even the dark web required time.
Tang Xu was mentally and physically exhausted every day by Tang Yiyi's need for a kidney.
Then one day, he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.
Tang Xu, as if mad, ran to the laboratory department to retrieve Li Xue's medical records.
The hospital computers had backups, and Tang Xu quickly found them.
When he saw that Li Xue's blood type was B, he hurried to find Tang Yiyi's test report.
Tang Yiyi's blood type was A.
Every year, the family would come to the hospital for a physical examination.
He reviewed the results of every physical examination.
The problem lay precisely here.
Since Tang Zhongcheng's blood type was O and Li Xue's was B, their child could not be of type A.
Tang Xu was shocked.
He quickly asked the laboratory personnel to retrieve the family's physical examination reports from the past few years.
He was shocked by what he saw.
Except for this year, Tang Yiyi's physical examination reports consistently showed her blood type as B.
Why was the current test result different from previous years?
Where had the problem occurred?
One possibility appeared in Tang Xu's mind. Sudanne Novel Network.
To confirm his suspicion, he personally drew blood from Tang Yiyi, sent it to the laboratory himself, and personally supervised the results.
This time, Tang Yiyi's blood type was still A.
Tang Xu's face turned ashen, unable to believe it.
Tang Yiyi's previous physical examination reports were all fake.
If anyone would deliberately falsify them, it would undoubtedly be Li Xue.
Because she feared that her father would discover the discrepancy in Tang Yiyi's blood type, she was the only one who would go to such lengths to conceal everything.
