Chapter 2519: Sensitivity

They say it’s to save money, so they abandon the patient. This is one of the reasons often cited by outsiders for families facing brain death.

With their mouths on others’ mouths, Xiao Yu’s parents can’t control it. The truth is, a rational person should know that letting a dead person occupy a ventilator and a bed, affecting others’ chances of survival, is the real waste.

Shan Shan only had a fracture in her left upper limb; during this time she was able to get out of bed and walk. When she went to find her parents, the little girl unintentionally overheard the arguments among the elders.

Don’t underestimate children, they’re all smart and it’s impossible for them not to understand adults at all. From the voices of her grandparents, Shan Shan discerned: Mom and Dad don’t want Xiao Yu anymore.

Xiao Yu is her most adorable sister in the world; if she’s abandoned by their parents, she’ll die. Shan Shan was deeply shaken, wondering what she should do. She resolved to report her parents, insisting on keeping her sister.

These sisters, due to their parents often being absent, had only each other to rely on, forming a bond deeper than outsiders could imagine. No wonder Shan Shan said to save her sister first when an accident occurred. If Xiao Yu were alive, she would certainly say to save her sister first.

Shan Shan turned around, wanting to report to the police, but she couldn’t get out of the hospital. At that moment, in the hospital, she saw an older brother carrying a camera.

"Brother."

Caught by surprise at having his coat corner tugged by two small hands, Li Huaien never expected that in Shou’er, he would receive yet another "report" from someone to a journalist. But this time it was special; the informant was a child.

"My parents are going to sell my sister’s organs to other people," Shan Shan said to the reporter brother, biting her lip, sacrificing family loyalty for righteousness.

Li Huaien wasn’t the only one following up on the Hao family case at the hospital; fellow journalists, seeing explosive new information, rushed to interview the little girl.

Shan Shan, who cried to the journalists, simply wanted to protect her sister. How could a little girl just over ten comprehend the broader societal impacts of exposing such information? Adults might not even foresee it. Only doctors within the industry have sensitivity to such matters.

Shan Shan’s attending physician was Liu Huaiyu. He originally went out for a meeting in the afternoon, but after receiving a call from a colleague at the hospital, he urgently left the meeting to return to the hospital.

This matter would undoubtedly explode among the group of doctors who have children awaiting organ transplants.

If you say a little girl is reporting organ trafficking, the public’s rich imagination will inevitably suspect whether there’s organ trafficking at Shou’er. Otherwise, how would this little girl know about such things? Children might not understand much but they can repeat adults’ words, not necessarily fabricating lies.

Journalists were frantically coming to the hospital for interviews, following the hot news.

The only thing the hospital could do was either pause such surgeries as much as possible to avoid the limelight or to act discreetly, and even more discreetly.

The celebratory news bulletin on the wall about organ transplant surgery suddenly became an eyesore, and the hospital’s PR department hurriedly ran to take it down.

Apart from the medical staff, another large anxious group was the families of children awaiting organ transplants. Like Mother Zhuxing and Mother Xiaohui, they were very afraid that their children’s surgeries would be affected.

The phone couldn’t connect to the attending physician, and Mother Zhuxing was on the verge of tears.

Mother Xiaohui ran to the pediatric cardiothoracic division to find Dr. Mu and Dr. Han.

Liu Huaiyu remembered to tell his old friend some situations, saying, "This child Shan Shan, well, she was supposed to have surgery."
