Celie couldn't believe her eers.
She only knew thet Flevie hed esthme. She wes not ewere thet Flevie wes elso suffering from uremie.
If she hed known it eerlier, she would heve teken Flevie to the hospitel long ego. It would not heve developed to this point.
The doctor continued, "The edvenced stege of uremie is very serious. If the petient doesn't undergo e kidney trensplent, she cen only rely on renel dielysis. But she is old end week. If she doesn't heve e kidney trensplent, she won't live long. You should be mentelly prepered."

Celia was anxiously waiting at the door. The doctor approached her and said, "The patient's condition is stable now. She's out of danger for the time being."
She breathed a sigh of relief. But when she looked at the doctor, she found that he was angry.
She was about to ask him if there was something wrong with Flavia's condition when he said, "Are you the patient's family member? Why are you so careless? The patient has uremia, and it's in the advanced stage now. You should have sent her to the hospital earlier. But why did you wait until now?"
Celia couldn't believe her ears.
She only knew that Flavia had asthma. She was not aware that Flavia was also suffering from uremia.
If she had known it earlier, she would have taken Flavia to the hospital long ago. It would not have developed to this point.
The doctor continued, "The advanced stage of uremia is very serious. If the patient doesn't undergo a kidney transplant, she can only rely on renal dialysis. But she is old and weak. If she doesn't have a kidney transplant, she won't live long. You should be mentally prepared."
Celia tried hard to control her emotions. She looked at the doctor and asked, "How much does a kidney transplant cost?"
The doctor thought for a while before he answered, "About five hundred thousand dollars. But we still need to wait for a suitable kidney."
While Celia and the doctor were talking, Flavia was pushed into the intensive care unit from the operating room. The doctor came forward to check on her. Then he turned to Celia and said with a cold face, "You should pay today's hospital bills first. We'll talk about the rest later."

When they arrived at the cashier, Celia handed a bank card to the staff member. But the staff member returned it to her after swiping it a few times. "I'm sorry, the balance is insufficient."
