Lin Tingran said that Zhuo Manqing suddenly fell into a coma and needed to be operated on.

The two rushed to the hospital.

As soon as Lin Tingran saw them, she threw herself into Gu Jingshen's arms and cried softly.

"Brother Jingshen, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left..."

Before she could ask any further questions, Zhuo Manqing was already being rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment.

As the operating room doors closed, Jiang Xuxu slumped onto a bench, her eyes vacant.

She had only been gone for one night when Aunt Lin had such a serious accident.

The person was perfectly fine in the ward and had been receiving normal oxygen, so how could they be severely hypoxic?

Jiang Xuxu looked at Lin Tingran with a puzzled expression.

She cried and said, "I had an upset stomach last night and was so hungry that I went downstairs to buy some food. I never expected to see her oxygen tank being removed by someone..."

Lin Tingran's words were pointed.

Gu Jingshen was still relatively sober and immediately asked to see the hospital's surveillance footage.

Surveillance video shows that Lin Tingran left at 5 a.m., and at 5:10 a.m. a little boy with strange behavior walked into the ward.

But he only stayed for a minute before skipping away with his lollipop.

At 5:40, Lin Tingran returned and immediately rushed out of the ward to call for the doctor.

Gu Jingshen analyzed the details of the incident methodically, while Lin Tingran insisted that it was just a prank by the little boy.

Jiang Xuxu stood guard at the operating room door, silently praying for Zhuo Manqing, hoping she would safely overcome the risks and live a long and healthy life.

Over the past few days, Jiang Xuxu has developed different feelings for Zhuo Manqing.

Looking at her is like seeing my own mother.

An hour later, the operating room door opened. "Who is the patient's family member?"

Jiang Xuxu quickly stood up and replied, "Yes, I am! Doctor... How is Aunt Lin?"

At this moment, Lin Tingran and Gu Jingshen, who were standing behind her, were both stunned.

They had never seen Jiang Xuxu so distraught, as if the person lying inside was her own mother.

"Doctor, I am her daughter."

Lin Tingran walked over calmly, her gaze fixed on Jiang Xuxu as she spoke.

Realizing her lapse in composure, Jiang Xuxu awkwardly took a step back, almost losing her balance.

She murmured to herself, "Yes, she's the family member."

"The patient is experiencing severe bleeding during surgery and requires an emergency blood transfusion. Which of you has type B blood?"

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances.

Jiang Xuxu rushed over without hesitation, "Doctor, it's me."

"She can't do it!"

Lin Tingran and Gu Jingshen exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"Why?" Jiang Xuxu looked at the two of them in confusion.

Lin Tingran adjusted her emotions and pretended to be worried, saying, "Xuxu, you're already anemic, and... anyway, you can't take this risk."

"Tingran, I didn't..."

"Stop talking. Neither Jing Shen nor I will agree to this. If something happens to you while you're donating blood for my mother, neither my mother nor I can forgive ourselves."

Standing to the side, Gu Jingshen chimed in, "Tingran is right, this matter needs to be considered carefully."

"But Aunt Lin doesn't have time!" Jiang Xuxu was extremely agitated.

She was well aware that her physical condition posed a risk with blood transfusions, but it was a matter of life and death.

She couldn't bear to watch Zhuo Manqing die on her own.

Seeing them passing the buck back and forth, the doctor urged them, "You two should discuss it quickly; the patient is waiting. If all else fails, we'll have to try our luck at the blood bank."

The world is going downhill, everyone is insecure, fewer and fewer people are donating blood, and the blood bank has very little usable blood left.

Jiang Xuxu insisted on donating blood to her, saying, "Doctor, take mine, I can take it."

She was about to leave with the doctor when Gu Jingshen stopped her. "Jiang Xuxu, think it over carefully. Once you go in, you might never..."

He respected Jiang Xuxu's choice, but for her safety, he had to remind her.

Weighing the pros and cons is Gu Jingshen's principle in dealing with things.

Lin Tingran also advised, "Xuxu, I will not agree."

"There's no time! Every minute wasted is a delay in saving lives, you—"

"Jiang Xuxu!" Lin Tingran raised her voice to interrupt her, "The person lying inside is my mother. Don't you think I'm more worried about her safety than you are?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuxu froze on the spot.

Gu Jingshen also advised her, "I don't object to you saving people, but before that, can you think about yourself first?"

"Are other people's lives worthless in your eyes?" Jiang Xuxu laughed silently.

For the first time, she felt that she and Gu Jingshen had incompatible values.

"Other people's lives are lives, but yours aren't? Jiang Xuxu, can you please stop being so selfish?"

Jiang Xuxu's anger was completely ignited.

"I'm selfish? Gu Jingshen, what right do you have to accuse me? Do you really think you're my husband? Let me tell you, my life or death is none of your business. Get out of my way!"

Gu Jingshen didn't want to say anything harsh, but Jiang Xuxu was acting strangely today.

He couldn't let her do whatever she wanted.

"You think you can just walk in like that? Without my signature, you're just an outsider?"

The word "outsider" stung Jiang Xuxu's heart.

Just then, Lin Tingran received a phone call saying that the person who had donated blood had been found.

She told Gu Jingshen to take Jiang Xuxu back to rest first, and that she could take care of things here.

She walked out of the hospital in a daze, letting the rain pelt her. Gu Jingshen followed behind her, but she dodged the umbrella he held up.

"Leave me alone, I want to be alone."

Zhuo Manqing is saved, she should be happy, but Gu Jingshen's words are still ringing in her ears.

What right did she have to die for Zhuo Manqing?

She was blaming herself.

Ever since her mother told her that she might have found her biological parents, her mindset has undergone a complete transformation.

How could he selfishly fantasize that Lin Tingran's mother was his own mother?

She couldn't accept her selfish motives being exposed in public.

She was just an orphan who didn't even know who her biological parents were.

Or perhaps her parents didn't want her at all, which is why they abandoned her.

Thinking this, she felt even more grief-stricken. She walked so fast that she didn't even notice the red light and was almost hit by a passing car.

Gu Jingshen pulled her back in time, "Are you out of your mind?!"

"My life or death is none of your business!"

There was no shouting, only tears welling up in his eyes.

Gu Jingshen didn't explain, he just silently followed her.

He couldn't care about the safety of others, but Jiang Xuxu couldn't be harmed.

He will never make the same mistake again in his life!

His mother contracted the virus while saving someone, and he didn't want to lose another important person in his life.

As she walked, Jiang Xuxu fainted due to overwhelming sadness.

"Jiang Xuxu... Xuxu..."

Gu Jingshen supported her limp body and suddenly panicked, quickly carrying her to the hospital.

"Jiang Xuxu, wake up..."

Jiang Xuxu was in a daze, tears streaming down her face, whispering, "Mommy..."

When she woke up in the hospital, Zhuo Manqing had already escaped danger.

In any case, Jiang Xuxu was finally relieved that Zhuo Manqing was safe and sound.

However, Gu Jingshen exposed her thoughts in public, disregarding her feelings, and she was still very angry.

I didn't want to say a word to him, and I ignored his attempts to be friendly.

Gu Jingshen was very worried about her.

"You haven't eaten all day. I was too harsh with you today. Now that you've eaten, you can punish me however you want."

"Take it away." Jiang Xuxu turned her face away.

She doesn't want to bring up divorce a second time.

He silently resolved in his heart that once he paid back the money he owed him, he would never have anything to do with him again.

"Are you thirsty? I'll go get you some hot water."

As soon as Gu Jingshen left the ward, a little boy darted out from the side.

He smiled innocently at Jiang Xuxu, then skipped over and pulled out her IV drip!
