Chapter 385: Doubt
“Really?” To be honest, Selina had been dubious until now. She was most afraid of big boss saying that she was fine, but secretly feeling anxious.
“Yeah.” Zhong Nuannuan raised her lips slightly. “Why would I lie to you? Am I the type of person who won’t speak my heart?”
She was not.
Thus, Selina told her all the information she and Aiden had found during this period.
It turned out that when Zhong Qianqian was three years old, and when she was only two and a half years old, Zhong Qianqian went to the hospital for urgent medical treatment due to acute abdominal pain. At that time, the doctor diagnosed her condition as appendicitis, but Zhong Qianqian still had severe pain after her appendix was cut off.
The medical conditions at that time were completely different from now, and there was no way to diagnose her condition instantaneously.
By the time Zhong Qianqian’s leukemia was detected, it was already the third day after her operation.
The number of her white blood cells, which were already not high to begin with, rose sharply on the second day after her operation. The normal value of white blood cells should be below 10,000, but hers had already surged to 140,000 on the fourth day, and she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Back then, Jiang Shuwan immediately took the blood samples of herself, Zhong Kuijun and Zhong Nuannuan to the hospital for comparison. As a result of the comparison, they found that Zhong Nuannuan and Zhong Qianqian’s hematopoietic stem cells could be paired.
However, she was only two and a half years old at that time, and with the medical technology available during that period, children at the age of two and a half years old could not donate bone marrow. Under normal circumstances, only people between 18 and 55 years old could undergo such an operation.
However, Jiang Shuwan ignored the medical conditions and her physical condition at that time, and insisted on using her hematopoietic stem cells to save Zhong Qianqian.
Zhong Qianqian’s operation was successful, but on the other hand, Zhong Nuannuan became seriously ill as a result of her hematopoietic stem cells being almost drained.
This was why the DNA similarity between her and Zhong Qianqian reached 100%.
the hematopoietic stem cells in Zhong Qianqian’s body had been donated by her, so the DNA of the healthy blood made from hematopoietic stem cells was actually hers.
The Nangong Family must have done DNA testing when they recognized Zhong Qianqian back then but never suspected that Zhong Qianqian might have received blood before. Because Zhong Qianqian’s DNA was already exactly the same as hers, paired with the crescent jade pendant, the Nangong Family became completely sure that Zhong Qianqian was their child.
However, hematopoietic stem cells could only change the DNA of human blood and their immune system, but could not change the DNA of muscular and tissue cells.
This was why DNA test reports showed that she and Zhong Qianqian’s DNA were the same when she first used Zhong Qianqian’s hair, and when she took a blood sample from Zhong Qianqian’s muscle tissue the second time, it showed that her DNA similarity with Zhong Qianqian was only 67%.
This was because the roots of hair were connected to capillaries on the human head, but the blood used during the second test was drawn from muscle tissue.
After listening to Selena’s report, Zhong Nuannuan flashed a stunning smile.
Selina looked a little dazed as she watched her.
Big Boss was so beautiful and charming!
Looking at the big boss’ smile, she imagined red spider lilies in full bloom after sunset, soon covering the mountains and plains completely with these beautiful flowers that represented death.
The Zhong Family was done for!
“Since I saved Zhong Qianqian, I thought I’d be regarded as a savior. Still... Jiang Shuwan never abandoned me in the past. She always nurtured me, and in my memory, she has always treated me very well. Why did she abandon me after I gave Zhong Qianqian a bone marrow transplant?” Zhong Nuannuan did not understand.
