Chapter 2323


    Doris reached into her pocket, retrieved a pack ofdies'' cigarettes, took one out, and put it in her mouth. Then, she reached for the lighter again, but


    she had a hard time lighting the cigarette as her hands were trembling. After several attempts, she managed to light the lighter, and the cigarette was


    finally lit. 6


    Her face was extremely pale under the reflection of the fire.


    When the cigarette was ignited. Doris gently bit the cigarette with her pinkish lips and took in a deep breath. Right then, it was so quiet that she could


    hear the unique sound of the burnt tobo. 3


    Doris rarely smoked, and she did not like to smoke either, but due to her diligence at work, she was often overly tired as well as upset. Therefore, she


    would asionally smoke a cigarette to bring her some relief.


    As the smoke puffed out from her delicate nose, feeling the stimtion produced by the nicotine in her brain, Doris couldn''t help shedding two lines of


    hot tears down her cheeks.


    Her mother''s words kept resounding repeatedly in her mind.


    The window pericd left for her father to have an organ transnt was only twenty days.


    If they couldn''t find a suitable kidney source within this given period of time, his body functions would enter the terminal declination stage. At that


    moment, he would be so weak that he would not be able to withstand the drugs for surgical anesthesia, let alone undergo major surgery for organ


    transntation. 2


    This condition was very much like the elderly patients with advanced cancer. A simple statement could sum up the condition-their body was frail, and


    their condition was very critical. 2


    Surgery? They couldn''t hold up with their current condition.


    Chemotherapy? Their body couldn''t hold up the intense effect of the drug either. 1


    Eventually - -there was no othe


    choice butto adopt palliative care.


    To put ibluntly, it was to give up


    treatment and turn to pain-relief


    drugs: to help patients relieve-their


    pain in thest stage o f their life. 3
