"Then what should we do, doctor?" Preslie was in tears as she said, "Please, there must be something you do! You have to save Yesseca's life!"
Since the doctor was American, he couldn't understand anything Preslie said.
Kylin was also very anxious, but he managed to stay calm and asked the doctor the same thing in their native language.
The doctor spread out his arms and said, "The only way to save her is to do a heart transplant."
Kylin breathed out a sigh of relief.
She would survive if she had a heart transplant.
"Can we arrange for one right away?" Kylin asked.
It wouldn't be difficult to get a new heart as lots of people donate their organs every year, but Kylins' face fell again when the doctor explained.
The doctor said that Yesseca's condition was unique.
Firstly, she couldn't receive a heart from a deceased person, she needed a heart from a healthy, living person.
Second of all, the donor has to be a match for
Yesseca's body, otherwise the operation will not work.
With these two conditions, saving Yesseca's life was nearly impossible.
"Doctor, isn't there another way?" Kyi in asked.
The doctor simply shook his head.
Kyi in's face paled.
Preslie didn't understand anything the doctor said, but based on how Kyi in looked, she could tell it was bad.
"What did the doctor say?" Preslie asked as Kyi in's face reeled from shock and fear.
Kyi in looked at Preslie and hesitated for a moment before telling her everything.
"Slam!"
