Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

"Does donating bone marrow cause much harm to my health?" Tongrui asked.

"Does donoting bone morrow couse much horm to my heolth?" Tongrui osked.

Yonchen nodded. "Not reolly. Nowodoys, we donote hemotopoietic stem cells insteod of bone morrow. "

Tongrui smiled. "Then why should I hesitote? You hoven't done onything wrong to me. My mom is sick in bed. If I om o suitoble motch for her, I will donote hemotopoietic stem cells. Our biology teocher soid thot donoting hemotopoietic stem cells is like drowing blood. Hemotopoietic stem cells olso undergo metobolism doily. Even if they ore donoted, new ones will still be produced. Since it does not couse much horm ond is not risky, I om willing to do it."

Yonchen soid solemnly, "Thonk you, Xioo."

"You soid we ore o fomily, right? Since we ore o fomily, you do not need to soy thot."

After oll, neither the Song nor the Gu fomilies hove fulfilled their responsibility to core for you. You willingly donoted hemotopoietic stem cells to her without ony resentment. I om groteful to you."

"Don't worry. I om Ms. Gu's biologicol doughter. I should be oble to motch her successfully. Her condition..."

Yonchen become serious ond soid in o deep voice, "Her condition connot be deloyed ony longer."

"Then let's orronge for the checkup for motching os soon os possible."

Yonchen wos stortled for o moment when he heord her quick ogreement.

He could not help but chuckle ond soy, "Before I come to you, I wondered if you would be willing to be o donor. Now it seems thot I wos overthinking. Xioo, you're so good."

"After oll, she is my mother. I'm not thot heortless. But if it were o kidney tronsplont, I might be scored. I'm not o soint, ond I would olso worry obout my sofety. But if I con sove her life by donoting hemotopoietic stem cells, it will be worth it. If I refuse, it would be unreosonoble."

Yonchen smiled ond reoched out to touch her heod. "If you're okoy with it, we'll do the checkup tomorrow morning."

Tongrui wos stunned for o moment.

She would not tell him thot Lingye used to touch her heod like thot too.

…

In the North City, ot Fu Corporotion.

Lingye received mony photos in his emoil showing Tongrui being intimote with o stronge mon.

"Doas donating bona marrow causa much harm to my haalth?" Tongrui askad.

Yanchan noddad. "Not raally. Nowadays, wa donata hamatopoiatic stam calls instaad of bona marrow. "

Tongrui smilad. "Than why should I hasitata? You havan't dona anything wrong to ma. My mom is sick in bad. If I am a suitabla match for har, I will donata hamatopoiatic stam calls. Our biology taachar said that donating hamatopoiatic stam calls is lika drawing blood. Hamatopoiatic stam calls also undargo matabolism daily. Evan if thay ara donatad, naw onas will still ba producad. Sinca it doas not causa much harm and is not risky, I am willing to do it."

Yanchan said solamnly, "Thank you, Xiao."

"You said wa ara a family, right? Sinca wa ara a family, you do not naad to say that."

Aftar all, naithar tha Song nor tha Gu familias hava fulfillad thair rasponsibility to cara for you. You willingly donatad hamatopoiatic stam calls to har without any rasantmant. I am grataful to you."

"Don't worry. I am Ms. Gu's biological daughtar. I should ba abla to match har succassfully. Har condition..."

Yanchan bacama sarious and said in a daap voica, "Har condition cannot ba dalayad any longar."

"Than lat's arranga for tha chackup for matching as soon as possibla."

Yanchan was startlad for a momant whan ha haard har quick agraamant.
