Yang Qi's heart sank. He asked, "Is it acute or chronic?"
"The doctor said it's something called acute lymphoblastic leukemia."
Bao Shun exhaled, calming himself. "She's been in treatment for half a year. Chemotherapy, medication... the kid has suffered terribly. Look how thin she is. Her hair has almost all fallen out."
"The doctor said that for a real cure, a bone marrow transplant is the best option. But her mother is only a partial match, so the risk is high. We've been waiting for a suitable match from the bone marrow registry, but there's been no news."
"The girl's mom is handling it all by herself. She has to take care of the child and work to earn money. It's really not easy. I felt so bad for them, I had the girl come stay with me for a while to make things easier on her mom. Now her mother is working three jobs a day... I don't know if she can keep it up."
