Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 682 - 674: We Are Close Uncle and Nephew (Part 2)

The doctor said, "Before the surgery, we had already told Mr. Ji that, due to the condition of the cornea, there was a high probability of rejection and to be mentally prepared for failure."

Prepared for failure!

Ji Anning shook her head, unable to accept this reality, "How could there be rejection? It can’t possibly fail."

Fenfen had stopped crying, but she still lay sobbing on her shoulder. Anning felt so heartbroken that she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t accept this outcome but also couldn’t change it.

She opened her mouth, forcibly keeping the tears in her eyes, all to avoid upsetting Fenfen. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The middle-aged male doctor looked deeply at her, such situations were commonplace for them. He didn’t offer any comforting words, but simply patted Ji Anning’s shoulder, offering encouragement: "There’s still a chance, if there is a cornea, another transplant can be attempted."

A re-transplant with another cornea... When would that be?

After the doctor and his medical team left, Dr. Zhang looked at the tears still swirling in Ji Anning’s eyes and approached to comfort her, "Miss Anning, don’t be too sad. It’s because of this situation that Young Master didn’t tell you."

Upon saying this, he glanced at Ji Anning’s reaction, pursed his lips, and continued, "He was afraid of giving you hope, only to disappoint you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning finally couldn’t hold back, closed her eyes, and let the tears that filled her eyes stream down.

Watching this, Yang Yufang, who had been standing at the door, walked in, approached Ji Anning, and gently patted her back, comforting her with empathy: "Anning, didn’t the doctor just say, if there is a cornea, another transplant can be done?"

Ji Anning turned to glare at her, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Yang Yufang was taken aback. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Ji Anning, holding Fenfen, walked past her and left the surveillance room.

Although the corneal transplant had failed, they still had to stay in the hospital to observe the situation.

Ji Anning stayed in the hospital to care for Fenfen, and a day and night passed. Fenfen’s eyes were still red, likely from discomfort, as she kept scratching them with her little hands.

Especially at night, she scratched even more fiercely. Ji Anning stayed by the bedside all night, watching over her, preventing her from scratching. When it hurt, she would use sterilized gauze to gently wipe her eyes.

It was late into the night when the little girl finally fell asleep.

Ji Anning herself was exhausted, she fell asleep leaning over the edge of the bed. She had been up for a day and a night, so she slept very deeply, and when she woke up, she found it was already bright outside.

And having slept propped up, when she straightened up, her body felt numb.

She opened her eyes, rubbing her numb arms, and turned to look towards the bedside, startled.

Fenfen?

Fenfen wasn’t on the bed, Ji Anning felt a hollow panic, and frantically searched the room, but couldn’t see the little girl anywhere.

"Fenfen."

Forgetting the numbness in her body, she prepared to get up. When she stood, her legs failed to support her, nearly causing her to fall. She used the bed’s edge to stabilize herself, gathering strength for a while before she could walk.

Ji Anning searched out of the room, because it was the holiday period, and patients were not required to stay unless necessary, most had gone home, making the corridor especially quiet.

"Fenfen."

Ji Anning searched while calling out.

"Miss Anning."

Her calls did not bring Fenfen, but they did bring the nurse taking care of Fenfen; Ji Anning, seeing the approaching nurse, anxiously asked, "Nurse Li, have you seen Fenfen?"
