Our hospital even notified the cafeteria to waive all meal costs for Xiaozhongqiu’s family, letting him eat as much as he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that his recent tests are close to meeting the donor requirements, and maybe in a month, they’ll be able to extract the bone marrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s hope the surgery goes well, this kid really has it tough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this, Qin Feng felt a newfound respect for the young boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that behind seemingly strange behavior lay such a touching story of brotherly love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this case in the Hematology Department?
