Someone answered after the phone rang only a couple of times.

  “Song Qi, I am warning you. Stop trying to talk to my daughter, or else, you are going to pay for it,” said Song Ning coldly right away.

  Song Qi pursed her lips the moment she caught Song Ning’s threatening tone. Did Song Ning think she was still the daughter of a powerful family?

  She straightened the curly hair by her cheek before she said unhurriedly, “Well, I have no choice. Since you refused to get yourself tested for the sake of your father, I can only ask your daughter to do it. It can’t be helped since she has a heartless biological mother.”


  Song Ning narrowed her eyes. Her little sister was always a scheming and manipulative woman. She had even inherited their father’s ruthlessness and refused to give up until she got what she wanted.

  “You are shameless,” said Song Ning annoyingly.

  Song Qi sneered gently. “I already told you that if you refuse to come to the Song residence, then I will reach out to your daughter.”


  She paused before she continued. “If your daughter isn’t a match, I might ask your sons. After all, he is their grandfather as well.”


  “Then why don’t you ask them instead? Did you have to pick my daughter to do it?” sneered Song Ning.

  Song Qi was startled by Song Ning’s words.

  How could a mother say this?

  Meanwhile, Ji Ya walked in from outside and greeted her mother when she entered the hall.

  Song Qi snapped out of her thoughts. Since she did not want her daughter to overhear the conversation, she pulled the phone from her ear and hung up. “Ya, are you home already?”


  Ji Ya acknowledged. She noticed the odd expression on her mother’s face, so she asked randomly. “Who were you talking to on the phone?”


  Song Qi cleared her throat and tossed her phone on the coffee table. “I was talking to my mahjong buddies. They called me out for a game.”


  Ji Ya knew how much her mother loved to play mahjong, so she was completely unsuspecting and simply asked. “How is Grandpa doing?”


  The moment she brought this up, Song Qi looked happy. “After taking the apothecary’s medication, he is a lot better. He already got discharged today.”


  Ji Ya seemed unsurprised by the outcome. After all, the medication was from a member of the Apothecaries’ Association. She simply nodded and acknowledged. “Uh huh. That’s good.”


  “Since your grandfather’s condition is quite serious, only a bone marrow transplant can solve the problem at its roots. For now, we can only stabilize his condition using medication. The medication can ensure that his condition does not worsen for the next three months,” said Song Qi.

  “Grandpa is getting on age and has low immunity. The medication is already considered very effective if it can prevent his condition from aggravating for three months,” sighed Ji Ya.

  After all, the hospital director said her grandfather’s cancer was in the final stages, so chemotherapy wasn’t as effective. Moreover, he was an elderly man, so it was exceptionally hard for him. There was no medication in the world that could save him.

  “That’s right. He said he would go back and do a bit more research so that he can stabilize your grandfather’s condition,” said Song Qi hopefully.

  Ji Ya nodded. “At least it bought us more time to find the right bone marrow donor.”


  “Uh huh.” Song Qi acknowledged softly before dropping the subject. She was taking a sip of water when a thought crossed her mind and she asked. “Oh yes. Have you been to the Min residence recently?”


  Ji Ya sat on the couch and leaned against the backrest tiredly. “Nope. It’s been busy at school.”


  Song Qi looked at her and continued. “No matter how busy you are, you have to do other stuff as well like visiting the Min residence.”
