It’s good that he changed for the better in the end. It’s all thanks to your father taking such good care of you that the doctor said that you’ve recovered more quickly than usual.
All these meals over the course of two months probably added up to two to three thousand yuan.
Thankfully, there was still someone with a conscience in their family.
The nurse did not mention how there had not been a single person from the Qiao family who had come to visit Qiao Nan in the few days following her accident, even when she had been in a critical state. That included Qiao Dongliang, whose performance had suddenly changed for the better afterward. She was afraid that Qiao Nan would be in a bad mood upon learning about her family’s behavior. It was better to chat about things that brightened one’s mood.
But the nurse had not expected that Qiao Nan would do something out of the ordinary and smiled along.
My elder sister said that my parents are old and their kidneys are unsuitable. If she were to wait for a kidney donor, she would have to rely on other people’s willingness to donate. She’s afraid that she won’t be able to wait for such a long time. That’s why they’re taking such good care of me now. If I don’t recover quickly, how would they be able to take a kidney from me to save their precious daughter?


…
The nurse stared wide-eyed at Qiao Nan.
Miss Qiao, a-aren’t you overthinking it?
They probably would not go so far, right?
Taking care of Miss Qiao for the sake of a kidney transplant for the elder Miss Qiao in the other ward?
This…
Qiao Nan laughed but did not say a word.
If the nurse had not mistaken that there was still a good person in the Qiao family, she would not have said such a thing. Although she was almost forty, Qiao Nan wanted to be willful just this once. When she was younger, she had never been willful. In her dream, she had Brother Zhai taking care of her, so there had been no need for her to be willful. But now that she was at this heartbreaking age of thirty-nine, Qiao Nan wanted to be willful and kick up a fuss!
Onlookers knew all about the Qiao family’s dirty laundry. Since they already knew approximately ninety percent of what was going on in the Qiao family, she had no qualms about letting them in on what was really going on. There were still good people in the Qiao family? Hehehe. That had to be the funniest joke she had heard in her entire life.
The nurse hurried out of Qiao Nan’s ward and happened to bump into Qiao Dongliang, who was enquiring about Qiao Nan’s recovery status with the doctor.
Seeing the thermal flask in Qiao Dongliang’s hands, the nurse walked over and listened in on the conversation. When the doctor told him that Qiao Nan was recovering better than usual patients, Qiao Dongliang was overjoyed. The nurse frowned and tested the waters.
Doctor, Miss Qiao said that she hasn’t been feeling quite right in some other areas and wants to do a full-body checkup. Do you think that’s possible?


She’s not feeling well? Where’s the discomfort? Is her kidney all right?
Qiao Dongliang was extraordinarily anxious because he was clear that any discomfort in Qiao Nan’s body would have a direct impact on whether Qiao Zijin’s kidney transplant could be conducted as soon as possible.
The nurse’s heart dropped. No, Miss Qiao had not been overthinking it. The Qiao family did indeed have such a plan.
Earlier on, she had heard that it was exactly because of the Qiao family’s plan for Miss Qiao to donate her kidney to the elder Miss Qiao that she had gotten into an argument with her mother and run out of the hospital. That was how she had gotten into an accident. She had initially thought that someone had simply made up this story. But now, it seemed like it was probably the truth.
In such a case, if Miss Qiao was willing to donate her kidney, it would be out of her love for her sister. But if she was unwilling to do so, that was her prerogative too. Even if Miss Qiao were to donate her kidney, the elder Miss Qiao might not survive either. What if she recovered from uremia but her body rejected the donated organ? Besides, it was not entirely risk-free for Miss Qiao to donate her kidney. There would be impacts on her future life.
In short, it was up to Miss Qiao to decide whether to donate her kidney or not. Even if everyone got along well as a family, even biological sisters would have to consider it carefully before deciding on something as serious as donating a kidney, let alone the Qiao family who were clearly not on good terms with each other.
The whole family, apart from Miss Qiao, seemed like a normal family of three. But Miss Qiao seemed like a free gift that came along with a mobile phone plan. She was practically worthless in their eyes.

Miss Qiao’s feeling discomfort in other areas? Then, we’ll definitely need to do a comprehensive check on her,
the doctor said responsibly.
I’ll get more details from Miss Qiao later when I go on my rounds.


All right, doctor.
The nurse was not at all worried that her lie would be exposed. Ever since Qiao Nan got into an accident, she had been mostly confined to her bed. Since she had little chance of getting down from her bed, it was only natural to feel discomfort. Even a healthy person had times when he would feel discomfort, much less a patient lying in bed.

I won’t disturb you any further, doctor. I’ll go check on my younger daughter.
Qiao Dongliang was uneasy and especially worried that any abnormalities in Qiao Nan’s health would affect Qiao Zijin’s kidney transplant. Two months had passed, and while Qiao Nan had gotten better with time, Qiao Zijin had only become frailer and weaker by the day.
It was as though the weight that Qiao Nan had put on had fallen off Qiao Zijin’s body. Qiao Nan had become nourished and healthy, while Qiao Zijin, who had always been chubbier than Qiao Nan, had finally accomplished her lifelong goal of losing weight and had lost over five kilograms!
In the face of such a situation, Qiao Dongliang was in a frenzy. He was dying for Qiao Nan to jump up from her bed right then and there so that she could undergo a kidney transplant to save Qiao Zijin. Even though their family now had the means to let Qiao Zijin undergo this surgery, Qiao Dongliang was afraid that Qiao Zijin might run out of time and would pass away before a legal source of kidney appeared.
In that way, Qiao Nan had become the most crucial playing piece to Qiao Zijin’s survival.
Nan Nan, I heard from the nurse that you’re feeling unwell? Does it hurt? Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?

Even a blind man could feel the worry in Qiao Dongliang’s eyes. Besides, Qiao Nan was not blind. In fact, her eyes were sharper than ever. An idea flashed through her mind and she guessed what had happened.
You have it hard enough now that you have to run around for me. I didn’t want to let you worry about me. Don’t worry. My hospitalization bills are being taken care of. I definitely won’t hide it from the doctor if I’m feeling unwell. I’ll be sure to get the doctor to check everything thoroughly before I get discharged. I’ll be fine, Dad.

Upon receiving a confirmation from Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang’s face soured in an instant. He cared about Nan Nan’s health, but he cared more about whether Zijin would be able to survive without Nan Nan’s kidney.
Nan Nan, if you really want me to worry less and rest assured, you must take care of yourself. Don’t let anything happen to your body. Do you understand?

He could only hope that there was nothing majorly wrong with Nan Nan. After all, he himself had not been hospitalized, but he also felt discomfort from time to time. Such occurrences were only natural. As long as Nan Nan was fine, it would not be long before Zijin could undergo her kidney transplant.

All right. I understand.
