The Donor's Daughter

Summary

My dad booked my high school entrance physical.

While getting my blood drawn, I heard the nurse confirm: "Is this the sample for the bone marrow match?"

I froze. That wasn't on my physical form.

And a match? A match for whom?

She accidentally dropped the lab requisition form.

As she bent to pick it up, a few lines of text stabbed into my eyes:

Patient: Sophia Wu.

Diagnosis: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Guardian Signature: David Wu.

I picked it up to confirm. It was definitely my dad, David Wu's, handwriting.

Who is Sophia Wu? Why is my dad her guardian?

I immediately called my dad.
