My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s-Chapter 458 - 452: Because It’s Retribution

458 Chapter 452: Because It's Retribution

Tang Yuxin stood still, unmoved, her gaze still fixed on Qin Ziye's face, cold and clear, yet devoid of the slightest ripples.

She was, after all, a frosty person, one who could abandon even the deepest of emotional connections with those who wronged her. She might be a woman devoid of love as she wouldn't even recognize her own biological mother, let alone acknowledge a love borne of deceit.

There were things in life, she thought, that she had to let go of.

And letting go was not about running away.

She clenched her arms and walked up to the sickbed. The man in front of her was no longer the Qin Ziyi of the past; his life had been tormented by disease until there was nothing left.

Even his life seemed to be slipping away.

"Yuxin..." Qin Ziye called out Tang Yuxin's name, but his voice was noticeably strained, hardly audible.

"Good to see you," he chuckled bleakly, "at least, I get to see you in my final days, and…" He extended a hand, frail and void of color, into the air, as if he wanted to grasp something or wanted someone to help him hold on to something. But in the end, his hand was left hanging in the air all by itself.

If he had already given up, how could others not?

"I…" His sentence was interrupted by a violent cough. His face turned an ashen hue, and he still owed her an apology, an utterance of 'sorry' that had always been left unsaid.

To his surprise, seeing her made him feel that he could die contented with his life.

He truly wanted to apologize, but the word never escaped his lips in the end.

Tang Yuxin turned around, opened the door, and left. When she looked back, she saw Qin Ziye clutching the blanket, a tear trickling down the corner of his eye.

Which man in this world would cry over her? She had once thought if a man cried for her, she would marry him. But now, she did not want such tears.

She once again entered the dean's office.

When she came out not long after, the dean who followed behind her released a heavy sigh.

The dean said, "Yuxin, are you sure about your decision?"

She said yes.

The dean said, "Your body is unable to donate bone marrow right now. Doing so might impact your health. If you insist, it will have to be half a year later."

She said, "In half a year, he might be ash."

But what could the dean say? Whether to donate or not, it was not his decision to make, it was hers.

Tang Yuxin walked out of the hospital. Under the bright sky, everything appeared so blue, so clear and pure. A leaf fluttered down and landed in front of her. She bent down to pick it up.

The beginning of life, or the end of it?

She held the leaf up to her eyes, still able to see the vein patterns on the dried leaf. It all reminded her of its vibrant green once upon a time. She placed the leaf under a big tree.

The ending, has also begun.

She reentered the hospital and made her decision. She would donate the marrow.

Because it didn't matter anymore. It was just an ordinary man, a patient in her eyes. For a doctor, does it matter if the patient is male or female, a stranger or an acquaintance, or even an old flame?

Contrary to what others thought, she was not unsuitable to donate bone marrow. When she first learned the patient was Qin Ziye, she refused to donate, so she secretly tampered with her medical condition using drugs. Her body was healthy, perfectly capable of donating marrow. She just didn't want to.

But now, after seeing him, she suddenly began to bear no grudges.

Who loved who, who liked who, everything is now in the past.

When she saw him, she was calm, with no feelings of exhilaration from their first encounter. The man who held a baby in his arms and smiled at her, who she once thought might be the one, had died in her memory.

The Qin Ziye standing in front of her was merely a patient at death's door. What else was there to say?

Or was there anything else?

"Dr. Tang, are you ready?" asked the doctor. "It's going to hurt a bit, but we will be giving you anesthetics. Can you endure it for a while?"

"I understand," said Tang Yuxin, lying flat on the bed. The world in front of her was stark white, clean to the point of transparency. The only color was the centre piece spelling "QUIET" in the distance.

When the pain pierced through her back, she couldn't help but furrow her brows. The pain did not end, but rather, just commenced.

She clutched fiercely onto the sheets, the cold sweat dripping from her forehead in large beads. Her fair fingers were so tense they might snap at any point.

The pain was unbearable, she wanted to cry.

She could hear the sound of the needle piercing into her spine.

Just one sound, then the extraction began. She could feel the moving needle inside her.

Her face grew paler, her fingers clenched onto the bedsheets. The cold sweat drenching her clothes, her muscles were tensed to the highest degree. Her body began to tremble and convulse.

She endured, but the pain persisted.

The doctors recoiled, pressing down on her, preventing her from moving.

Her fingers felt as if they were about to break, and her feet curled up snugly.

There was a loud cracking sound, as if something has snipped off her body. Lying down on the bed, she was panting heavily, her muscles still tensed wordlessly.

Even the doctors pressing down on her couldn't bear to see her like this anymore. They cried quietly, their eyes were red.

It hurt. So much.

Humans had flesh and bones. It was normal to feel pain. But they pushed on, tolerating the pain, this was the price of saving a life.

The needle was finally pulled out, and the doctor was bathed in sweat under his gown. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead, his clothes soaked in sweat. Tang Yuxin's clothes drenched even more, it was as if they could be wrung out.

Her hands finally loosen up, the sheet tucked under her fists was crinkled beyond recognition.

At that moment, her hair was stuck to her face, her fluttering lashes were damp, mist spread across the corners of her eyes.

The extracted bone marrow was handed over to Qin Ziye's attending physician by the doctor.
