Chapter 706: Will it Grow Out?
She walked past and opened the door gently. As expected, there was a small bump underneath the blanket; the child was really still sleeping. She closed the door and came out again to keep the child’s drawings one by one.
Just that for some reason, she suddenly felt her heart tighten. It was an unexplainable feeling as though something had happened. However, the only thing that could scare her in this world was Rainy. She was too small and did not know how to protect herself; she was too small and did not know what were danger and bad guys.
However, that child was currently sleeping soundly so she calmed down and felt that she had thought too much. It was just that the feeling of something heavy in her heart and the discomfort she felt could not be waved away.
At that time, in the small hospital, the doctor had already placed the medical report on the table.
“Every aspect of the check turned out to be a match, and the child is also very healthy. However, Mrs. Chu, can you confirm that the child is five? Why does she seem so small?” He was starting to suspect that Song Wan had reported the wrong age. She only seemed like a three- or four-year-old.
“She’s five becoming six. It’s just that she looks small.” Song Wan could confirm this because the child’s information was all in her hands. The welfare home would not make a mistake, and she would not either; all the orphan’s details were sent over by the government.
“Okay then, we can start the operation.”
The doctor stood up and remembered something. The child was very cute, and he really could not bear to do it.
“Mrs. Chu, are you sure you want to continue with this surgery?” At that moment, he even wanted to refund the money and not take this surgery.
“Of course.” Song Wan’s face darkened. “I didn’t spend all this effort for nothing. If you don’t want to do this surgery, I can find another doctor.”
“It’s okay, I’ll do it.”
The doctor clenched his teeth. Okay, he would do it. No matter what, he was pretty famous in this field. If it were someone else, the child might end up in a bad shape. If it were him, he would definitely protect the poor child. Even if she had lost a kidney, he would ensure that she would not come into any harm because of the surgery.
After the doctor went back in, he saw that the child had already fallen asleep on the sickbed. The child was very small and very cute; he really could not do it. If this child had parents, they would have doted on her. How old was she? She was only five and could not even speak properly sometimes. The child had a small blush and was really healthy. However—not long later, the child would lose a kidney, a kidney that could never grow back.
Luckily, fortunately, Mrs. Chu did not want the child’s heart. If not, the child would become a pile of ashes that nobody wanted.
“Good child, let’s not be scared. Don’t be afraid.”
He carried the child carefully and walked out.
When the man who carried Guo’er over saw the doctor leave, he breathed deeply.
“Madam, that…”
“Don’t talk to me.” Song Wan interrupted the man’s voice.
The man could only swallow back his words. Actually, he wanted to say that the child looked amiss. He obviously brought a disabled child over, but the child that the doctor was carrying was not disabled. She obviously had two legs, and both of them had shoes on.
The doctor brought Rainy away quickly and did not notice that one of the child’s shoes had dropped at a corridor that no one walked past.
At that time, a passer-by came by and picked up the shoe on the floor hurriedly. He did not know whose child had dropped the shoe, but judging by the shoe size, it must be a three- or four-year-old child.
Perhaps an adult would come and pick it up in a while so he placed the shoe by the window and left without thinking much about it.
The pretty shoe was left there, and when the wind blew, the butterfly on the shoe flew elegantly.
Inside the operating theater, everything was ready. Once the anesthetist arrived, the surgery could begin.
“Uncle…” Rainy woke up and wanted to rub her eyes, but she found that she had been switched somewhere else.
“What’s wrong, Baby?” The doctor walked over and gently caressed the child’s face. Who could he blame? Even her parents did not take care of her and left on early to allow others come and ruin her life. It was a pain that even adults could not handle, let alone a child.
“Uncle, are you going to cut my nails?” Rainy asked groggily.
“No.” The doctor could not smile anymore and felt tears slowly welling up in his eyes.
“We are going to cut something else from Baby.”
“Oh…” Rainy still did not quite understand. “Will that grow out?”
The doctor could not answer her. It was something that could never grow out. One person could only have two in one’s life. If they lost one, one would be gone. Even though it might not pose that much of a problem to one’s body and that one kidney was enough to sustain the body operations, she was still a child.
At that time, the anesthetist came over.
“Are we starting?” The anesthetist asked.
“Mm.” The doctor turned around. “Let’s start.”
The anesthetist lowered his head and smiled at Rainy. It was a pity that only his pair of eyes was exposed. Rainy could not see anything; she could not see his smile and could not see his pity.
Gradually, she found herself getting more and more lethargic, and she seemed to have seen her mother.
“Mommy, I’m sleepy.”
At that time, Xia Ruoxin suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Rainy!
She breathed heavily and ran towards the lounge. She had a very bad feeling. If she did not see her daughter with her own eyes and touch her daughter’s hands, she would be worried.
“Rainy, wake up.”
She smiled as she walked in to pull open the blanket on the bed.
In the end—once she placed her hand on top, she felt something not quite right. Suddenly, she pulled the blanket open but did not see Rainy under it. She only saw a pillow.
“Naughty kid!” Xia Ruoxin’s face darkened. When Mommy caught you, your butt will hurt.
However, she completely did not know where her daughter went. Today, Guo’er did not come so she must have followed the staff from the welfare home back without her knowing. After coming over a few times, she had so much guts to run around.
She ran over to the welfare home in a hurry, but she could not find her daughter and even Guo’er.
She ran to find the director as fast as she could.
