Good Intentions

The young woman's eyes slowly reddened when she spoke of her mother. She nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes with one hand and held her son tightly with the other. She seemed to have made up her mind. Then, she looked at Jiang Yao. She said, "Doctor Jiang, if you can, please try your best to save them. But please don't make things difficult for yourself. If there's no other way, please take care of yourself, and take care of yourself and your child. My mother's life is important, and so are yours and your child's life. We can't be so selfish as to ask others to exchange their lives for others."

She was a mother, so the young woman knew better than anyone that her child was more important than anyone else. She wanted her mother to come home; however, she could not selfishly ask a pregnant woman to sacrifice her life and that of her soon-to-be-born child for her family.
