NovelEnglish"B-But you're pregnant." Theo looked atwith a puzzled expression as though | had lost my memory.
Maybe he could not figure out why | would have such thoughts when | was already pregnant.
A pregnant woman's body was already precious, not to mention that | had miscarried before. Now that |
expressed my intention to get a bone marrow transplant, it seemed to him like | was treating pregnancy like any
normal cold.
"I know. That's why | wish to discuss whether or not we can choose to forgo this child for now?"
My voice grew softer and softer toward the end because | was losing confidence.
| was sobbing, looking at Theo who was completely frozen in front of me. He did not say anything for a very long
time. | had never seen him like that before.
| was in a deep sleep back in the operating theater and dreamt of something.

| was holding Munchkin when he was still a baby and walking out of our small house. There were green pastures
outside the house. When | realized what was going on, Munchkin had suddenly grown up.
He struggled in my arms and wanted to run to the grass to have sfun. | put him down and watched him run
farther and farther away. When | realized something was wrong and desperately cried out for him to cback,
he could not hearand continued running forward.
| used all my strength to chase after him, but my pace got slower and slower. | watched helplessly as Munchkin
disappeared in front of my eyes.
When | woke up in the ward in a grievous state and wanted to tell them that | intended to do a bone marrow
transplant, they toldthat | was pregnant.
| had already made up my mind. | could always get pregnant again, but | must not lose Munchkin. I had to save
him.
"Wanda, | know you're anxious right now, but this isn't the final resort. We can still figure something out to save
Munchkin."
| shook my head while sobbing. "There's no other way. The best way to treat leukemia is to replace the bone
marrow."
| had already learned about it when Amelia's son had leukemia.
We can find another bone marrow match from someone else. It doesn't have to be you."
"There's no tfor that." | began to cry. " Munchkin is still so young. Chemotherapy is so painful. He won't be
able to take it. | don't want him to suffer either. I'm his mother. My bone marrow will definitely be the right
match!"
"How do you know?" | did not know how to answer Theo's question. "What if yours don't match?"
"That's impossible. Munchkin is my biological son. I'm his mother."

"How is it not possible? Even if the patient's parents are a good match, there's only a 50 percent chance. What if
yours don't match? Are you going to give up on the child because of that? Do you think that's fair to me?" Faced
with Theo's continuous questioning, | had no way of answering. Tears had already flooded my throat.
"I don't know. | really don't know." | buried my head between my knees, locking my body together.
After a while, | felt myself being held in a warm embrace. Theo's hands slowly crept up my shoulders and gently
patted my back.
"Don't panic. We'll figure out a way. Trust me, if my bone marrow matches Munchkin, then | won't hesitate to
donate it to him."
| believed his statement without a single hesitation.
"What's more important right now is that you take care of yourself for the sake of Munchkin and me." | knew the
road ahead would be tough and was grateful for Theo's comfort, but he did not seem to agree to my request
earlier.
