After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder Real Daughter, the Plot Changes

Chapter 70 Part 2 – Chronic Kidney Failure (II)

As soon as the college entrance examination ended, Jiang Huai frequently checked his watch, calculating the time Jiang Ruo would be home. After the conversation with Jiang Zhou that day, he knew convincing his son to give up on Jiang Ruo was nearly impossible. Thus, he planned to intervene from Jiang Ruo’s side. Even if it meant both children would resent him, he must prevent them from being together!

But after waiting a long time, he saw neither Jiang Ruo nor Jiang Zhou. Growing anxious, Jiang Huai turned to Feng Yun and urged, “Where could they have gone? Can’t you just call and ask?”

Feng Yun replied softly, “I’ve already called them, but neither A’Zhou nor Ruoruo answered their phones. Something must have delayed them!”

Previously, because of A’Zhou and Ruoruo’s situation, Feng Yun had argued with Jiang Huai and had been extremely disappointed in him. However, after Jiang Huai had a dispute with A’Zhou and fainted from anger, spending two days in the hospital, her anger gradually subsided. Worried that Jiang Huai might faint again, she had been speaking softly these days, and even when Jiang Huai occasionally lost his temper at her, she simply turned blind eyes.

“What could possibly delay them?” Jiang Huai’s eyes widened in panic. “Keep calling them, we absolutely cannot let them stay out overnight!”

Feng Yun frowned upon hearing this, “The kids are already adults, we don’t need to…”

“What do you mean, we don’t need to? It’s exactly because they are adults that I’m even more worried. Do we have to wait for them to disgrace themselves before you’d be satisfied?” Jiang Huai’s eyes seemed to burn with fire.

“…” Feng Yun was stunned. She simply couldn’t understand Jiang Huai’s thinking. In her view, even if Ruoruo was really with A’Zhou, it wouldn’t really be a disgrace. At most, people in their circle would gossip for a while, but as long as A’Zhou and Ruoruo could withstand the pressure from public opinion and hold on for a while, the rumors would gradually fade.

And if worse came to worst, A’Zhou could even take Ruoruo abroad. As long as they went somewhere where nobody knew them, who would care?

However, Feng Yun didn’t want to argue with Jiang Huai at the moment, “Then I’ll try contacting A’Zhou again to see if he answers the phone.” She softly replied.

But before Feng Yun could make the call, Jiang Zhou’s call came through. As soon as she answered, before she could even speak, Jiang Zhou said in a low voice, “Mom, Ruoruo is sick and hospitalized. I’m here with her at the hospital and can’t come home tonight.”

“Hospitalized? What happened to Ruoruo?” Feng Yun’s voice revealed her concern.

“The doctor said she has… she has chronic kidney failure. She needs further tests tomorrow.” Jiang Zhou sounded particularly somber.

“Chronic kidney failure? How could this… how could Ruoruo…” Feng Yun was completely flustered, finding her son’s words almost unreal. Although she didn’t know much about the condition, the name itself was already very frightening.

Hearing the words ‘chronic kidney failure,’ Jiang Huai’s expression changed drastically. He quickly got up from the bed, “Quickly ask A’Zhou the name of the hospital and which room Ruoruo is in. We’re going there now!”

Feng Yun hesitated, “Are you sure you should be going now? You’ve just been discharged.” Jiang Huai hadn’t fully recovered; if he wasn’t careful, he might end up hospitalized again.

Jiang Huai was already changing clothes, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s hurry and see Ruoruo’s condition first, then we should contact specialists to get a second opinion. We must first confirm whether she really has chronic kidney failure or not.”

Seeing his serious expression, Feng Yun also began to panic, “Is chronic kidney failure a very serious illness?”

Jiang Huai sighed, “This disease can’t be completely cured. To live longer, she must undergo regular dialysis. Anyway, let’s go and see what we can do.”

As for a kidney transplant, Jiang Huai didn’t even bother considering this option. It was already difficult enough for people with common blood types to wait for a transplant, let alone Ruoruo, who has a rare blood type.

Hearing Jiang Huai’s explanation, Feng Yun was devastated. Ruoruo was so young, only eighteen this year. How come she…

But maybe it was a misdiagnosis?

Yes, it could very well be a misdiagnosis! Ruoruo seemed perfectly normal before—how could she suddenly be diagnosed with a terminal illness?
