An Nuannuan knew that this lifetime, she probably would never have another chance, because the Xu Musen who lived on would only be a walking corpse with a dead heart.
"That is still better than no hope at all."
Yao Mingyue stroked his cheek.
"Before, I was always afraid that he would leave me too. But now...he used his life to tell me his love for me. Now, it's my turn to respond to my love for him..."
She took one last deep look at Xu Musen's cheek, as if making a final farewell. Seeing the life on the brink of collapse on the instruments, Yao Mingyue clenched the test report in her hand and stood up.
An Nuannuan blocked her way. Her stunningly beautiful face was now showing a bit of gritted teeth. Looking at Yao Mingyue's decisive actions, she sneered: "You know very well that if you save him , he will never come out of it his entire life. His heart will forever be filled by you. Are you truly saving him, or are you trying to monopolize him forever?"
An Nuannuan's words were like a sharp knife, ripping open every sensitive corner of Yao Mingyue's heart.
Yao Mingyue looked at the defiant and even somewhat grotesque expression of An Nuannuan in front of her, feeling a sense of familiarity, because this was how she looked when she was willing to go to any lengths to achieve her ends.
"Say what you want, in any case, I will save him. Only I can save him!"
Yao Mingyue clenched the test report, having no heart to speculate on anything else. She only knew that this was the only opportunity in her life to compensate Xu Musen.
An Nuannuan did not speak. She merely took out another test report and spread it out before her.
"An Nuannuan, blood type match, organ compatibility 99%..."
Yao Mingyue was stunned, looking at the almost identical conditions of both, and even An Nuannuan's physical fitness was better than hers.
An Nuannuan chuckled, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face: "Yao Mingyue, why don't I save him instead? This way, won't you be able to stay with him forever? Continue to keep him by your side, isn't that what you want…"
An Nuannuan's voice was sincere and even somewhat tempting.
Yao Mingyue was momentarily distracted, but only momentarily. She looked at An Nuannuan, who was smiling serenely, seemingly willing to make a grand sacrifice. She turned her head to look at Xu Musen: "I know what you are thinking. If you save him, he will owe me nothing anymore. Instead, he will carry your heartbeat, your name, truly leaving my life forever, no longer belonging to me..."
As the saying goes, heroes cherish each other. Likewise, patients must have a psychic connection.
They stared at each other, silent, but intense, with only the beeping of the machines breaking the quietness.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. A nurse walked in and was about to speak but was stifled by the tense atmosphere in the room.
An Nuannuan averted her gaze first, looking at the nurse who didn't dare to speak at the door.
"Well...the patient's diagnosis is out, and the family member needs to sign."
After the nurse finished speaking, Yao Mingyue clutched the test report tightly. Her bloodshot eyes finally gleamed with brightness as she turned to the nurse.
"I'm the family member, I'll be there in a moment."
Upon hearing this, the nurse nodded and left.
Yao Mingyue turned back, eyes looking at Xu Musen and then at An Nuannuan: "Please watch him for a moment."
With that, she turned to leave.
An Nuannuan spoke in a deep voice, gritting her teeth: "You know, compared to you, he would certainly prefer to accept my heart. My body is healthier, he would be more likely to have a full recovery. Only I can truly give him a new life, a new future!"
Yao Mingyue's footsteps halted.
She turned around: "I know everything you said is true. You are more suitable, easier to accept, and healthier. But..."
Yao Mingyue shook the test report in her hand, pointing to the relationship column with a pale yet proud smile: "But unfortunately, I am his wife. Legally, only I can sign this!"
An Nuannuan's hands trembled.
Yao Mingyue walked past her to Xu Musen's bedside, bending down to caress his cheek: "Honey, I'm sorry...I know it's too late to apologize now, and I'm being stubborn once more, just one last time. Forgive me, I was wrong, but loving you has never been wrong."
She gently lowered her head and kissed his forehead. A tear fell, streaming down Xu Musen's cheek.
"Honey...Brother Musen...
We will still be together forever.
An Nuannuan stood alone in the ward, looking at the perfect match test report in her hand, but the patient relationship column.
She bitterly smiled, her vision blurred by tears. In the end, something as trivial as status holds such weight.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
At that moment, the equipment suddenly made a different noise.
The comatose Xu Musen slowly moved his fingers.
An Nuannuan trembled with excitement, coming to his side watching his slightly moving fingers.
She wanted to speak but found herself too emotional to say a word facing the person she had thought about for half her life.
