Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Gigi Has a Genetic Disease
“Gigi has a genetic disease.” Enna Clark bit her lip tightly before she managed to continue, “Coagulation dysfunction, also known as hemophilia.”
This disease is not major but not minor either, it feels like the princess from the story of Sleeping Beauty who was cursed at birth by the witch, there’s not an issue as long as she is not pricked by the spinning needle. But once her finger is pricked, she would fall into a deep sleep.
“When Gigi was born, I had her undergo a thorough check-up; the doctor told me that even though I was lucky enough not to be infected. But Gigi…she inherited the genetic coagulation dysfunction. In simplistic terms, if regular individuals get a scrape or cut, it won’t take long for the bleeding to stop and for the wound to form a scab. But not for Gigi.”
“If she accidentally cuts her hand, her body can’t heal by itself, the blood will keep flowing, until all the blood in her body is gone.”
For this disease, minor injuries are manageable, there’s still time to get her to the hospital and give her the special medication to stop the bleeding.
But if there’s a major accident and the blood vessels are damaged, there’s essentially no chance for rescue. So not long ago, after the nanny who had worked for a year misplaced Gigi, regardless of how the nanny defended herself and apologized, she immediately dismissed her. That’s because Gigi is not a typical kid, she has a fatal flaw. This flaw demands more attention and care from adults to ensure her healthy growth.
“This past year, I have been seeking experts in this field, trying to see if there’s any way to cure this disease. But since this disease is so rare and hereditary, there hasn’t been much progress.” Enna Clark silently looked at the small person on the couch, her gaze exceptionally tender.
But she doesn’t regret the decision she made back then. Although Gigi was born two months premature and had inherited coagulation dysfunction, as long as she is careful, there’s not significant problem.
Apart from inheriting the family’s illness, Gigi is very healthy and obedient. Despite being only one year old, it seems she already understands that she and her uncle don’t let her play with sharp objects.
She might be curious when she sees things like fruit knife or glass toys, but she never fuss about it and will deliberately avoid them.
Thinking about all the little details of this past year made Enna Clark’s heart fill with warmth, and a part of her heart fell inexplicably soft.
Baron Lawrence didn’t utter a single word from beginning to end, he quietly listened to her finish, and then his thin lips tightened into a line, his eagle eyes fell on the little girl who was looking eagerly at him, a touch of shock and pain flashed through them, “…..No progress at all in a year’s time?”
Damn it! Are the people in the medical field all useless?
If this disease has existed for a long time, why has no one researched a solution!
Just because the number of people who suffer from this disease is small, it’s a rarity, so nobody thinks it’s worth their time and effort?
Enna Clark shook her head; every time she talked about this topic, she felt heavy-hearted, “No. In this past year, the family has sought many experts in this field for Gigi, but not a single one said they could cure it. They only prescribed some medication to enhance this function. I did not give them to Gigi; she’s too young and her body hasn’t fully developed yet. I feel that these medications could instead harm her body.”
After all, with coagulation dysfunction, there isn’t any danger as long as she doesn’t get injured.
“I will find people to figure out a way. If there really hasn’t been any concrete method for treatment, then I’ll find people to research it! In three to five years, we’re bound to find a solution!”
