I nodded, and my face turned a little pale. "If a child had one of her kidneys removed, will it affect her life in the future?"
He nodded and replied, "Of course it will. It's not fatal, but it will definitely have an impact on her health."
I didn't continue to ask. I think I had already found out everything I could.
Back in the ward, Abby was sitting at the edge of the bed, looking at Anne. Her dark eyes were full of innocence. Valerie saw me and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pedro probably knew what I was thinking. So, he looked at Abby, then looked back at me and said, "I have already considered and weighed in all the risks and benefits. It's not easy to find a donor. Arianna, this will not kill her. You just have to take good care of her in the future. Don't feel too guilty about it."
How should I put it?
It was fortunate that the operation wouldn't take Abby's life away. But after all, I was still hurting a child for no reason. I couldn't help but feel guilty.
Anne had just completed a round of chemotherapy, and Abby's examination results had not come out yet. We could do nothing except wait, but we couldn't let Abby stay in the hospital the whole day either. After thinking about it, I asked Sheridan to bring Abby home.
Wendy's anesthesia wore off a little later. I went to see her and saw that she was still looking a little upset. I told her about Anne and Abby's conditions. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it'll not put the child's life in danger. But even if the surgery is successful, there will still be an observation period. If the cancer cells spread again in the next five years, she will need a second transplant. What are you planning to do with that child?"
