The phone rang. “I’d like to drop off a bank draft (汇票),” said a man’s voice in a robotic tone. “Will you be __51__ in the next 20 minutes?” I said yes.
The call wasn’t a __52__. Twelve years ago, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a disorder that causes my skin and internal organs (内脏器官) to __53__. Basically, I’m turning to stone. I’ve been able to buy some time with expensive medicine, but the disease has__54__, and my doctors are working hard to avoid lung fibrosis (纤维症), which leads to heart failure.
Last year, I learned about an experimental procedure in Chicago, with an 80 percent success rate, that can _55__ my stem cells, purify them and put them back into my body to __56__ a clean, new immune system (免疫系统). My four kids started fund raising in June to __57__, in part, the $125,000 cost of the treatment. I assumed the __58__, who phoned on July 3, had read about our website in the local paper and wanted to give a donation.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man __59__ at my door. Opening the door, I found he was tall and wore a white golfer’s cap, big sunglasses and a grey spring coat. He handed me a long white __60__. I said, “God bless you.” He didn’t say a word. He just smiled and walked away. I closed the door and opened the envelope. The number on the draft made no __61__— I was sure I was reading it wrong: $128,000. I fell down, and the crash brought my mom running. When she got there, I shouted, “Oh, my God, oh, my God.” We __62__ each other, crying and screaming.
Who was he? Friends ask if I think he was an actor or a hockey player. I didn’t get the feeling that he was __63__. But it’s not important. __64__, here’s what __65__: In January, I’ll be in Chicago for the three-month operation. Whoever that man was, he saved my life.
