Chapter 1295: Chapter 1286: Farewell (4)
After that day, Xia Siyu called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. She already had kidney disease and her blood sugar was unstable. That day, she was diagnosed with uremia. If she wanted treatment, it was either one or two hemodialysis sessions per week, or a kidney transplant.
Xia Siyu certainly wanted a transplant, but unfortunately, there was no match. Her family didn’t have many relatives, and finding a kidney was not easy. Even if a match was found and the surgery was successful, there was still the possibility of rejection. Even if everything went smoothly, a new kidney would only extend her life by about ten years.
But if she didn’t get a transplant, she would have to undergo dialysis. So, for the last year or more, she mostly lived in the hospital.
In reality, it wasn’t as undignified as in TV dramas or novels, not as heart-wrenching or as embarrassing. She didn’t rush to the Xia Family to fight back and drive out the shameless ex-wife who had taken over, nor did she slap the scumbag and utter harsh words, leaving each other forever unrelated.
When sick, she was hospitalized; when unwilling to meet, she avoided them. There was so much life and death, joy and sorrow, in the hospital. In the first month, she felt a bit noisy, but not long after, when the patient in the next room passed away in the dead of night, and after the family tearfully sent him away, she felt strangely quiet.
When facing death, many issues can be let go. But while she could let go, Xia Siyu might not be able to.
Especially when she returned to school and saw Bo Yan and Xia Sicai together.
Xia Siyu was like a firecracker, easily ignited. Particularly during that time, when she was taking her mother to the hospital while her mother received treatment.
She had been hot-tempered since she was a child. This time, she hated her father to the core, hated him for abandoning her and her mother, hated his family, hated her grandparents, and of course, hated Xia Sicai’s mother and daughter who interfered.
At that time, she liked Bo Yan, but it was just a liking. Neither she nor Bo Yan had ever been honest with each other; after all, it was just dating, and neither revealed their full identities.
She didn’t even need to rush up and hit this pair of “scoundrels,” just watched coldly from the sidelines.
In fact, Bo Yan and Xia Sicai were simply friends, with no hints of ambiguity. However, while Bo had no intention, Xia had affection. Bo Yan could sense Xia Sicai had a liking for him, but at the time, Xia Sicai also handled it gracefully. They were not very familiar with each other, and he didn’t know how to firmly refuse. He was also unaware of the relationship between Xia Sicai and Xia Siyu. Even though their names sounded similar, when he had previously asked Xia Siyu if she had any sisters, she had flatly denied it. And for Xia Sicai, the Bo and Xia families knew each other, but no one ever mentioned Xia Sicai had a long-lost sister.
He didn’t connect the two as family. In any case, he avoided any appearance of impropriety, maintaining only a normal friendship, and even when they interacted, others were present, avoiding late-night situations requiring him to escort her home. Besides, he had received numerous confessions since childhood; during his relationship with Xia Siyu, others had confessed to him, and Xia Siyu teased him about it.
He thought this time as well, Xia Siyu wouldn’t be bothered, since he had a clear conscience and hadn’t done anything improper.
Never did he expect that Xia Siyu could be nonchalant with everyone except when it came to Xia Sicai; she would never let it go.
And then… it was the night they broke up.
