Xu Musen shook his head, his gaze shifting to the people lining up behind her, ready for blood withdrawal; the hallway was nearly filled.
Zhu Yulan wiped away her tears, "These are all my sister's colleagues. Ming Yue needs blood, so I called them here."
Xu Musen remembered Zhu Yulan's second sister and nodded.
Although O-negative blood is rare, there was bound to be one or two matches among so many people.
A resounding voice came from the end of the corridor. Uncle An had arrived, followed by a woman in a police uniform.
He approached Xu Musen and An Nuannuan, "This comrade is on our blood type system, and she has the same blood type you need. She just hurried back from outside."
"Thank you, Uncle An, thank you to the police officer!"
Xu Musen immediately stood up to thank him; Uncle An had indeed pulled some strings for this.
"It is our duty to protect the safety of the people's lives."
The woman nodded and went straight to give blood.
In a short time, the hospital was almost filled with people that had come to blood.
Uncle An, looking at the situation, couldn't help but admire the immense drawing power, which not just anyone could possess.
After twenty minutes of testing, among the hundred or so people, besides the female officer, only two others were a match, but this was enough for use.
Xu Musen approached the operating room door.
Liu Rushuang had been standing at the door of the operating room all along, unwilling to leave for even a moment.
Xu Musen also rushed over and waited in silence with Liu Rushuang for the outcome.
After what felt like an eternity,
a doctor and a nurse came out.
"Doctor... how is my daughter?"
The doctor took off his mask, let out a silent sigh, and said, "The blood supply was very timely; the patient is out of life-threatening danger. Also, the patient's leg is fractured; she might need to remain bedridden or use a wheelchair for a while after being discharged. But with careful attention later on, she should be able to recover."
The doctor slowly went over the details, which allowed Liu Rushuang and Xu Musen to breathe a sigh of relief.
This was already a good outcome.
At least there was a chance of recovery.
And when it came to care, especially handling a wheelchair, Xu Musen was very experienced.
The doctor's change of tone caused Liu Rushuang's heart, which had just settled, to rise again, her body swaying slightly.
Xu Musen went to support her, saying, "Doctor, please go on."
"It seems that the patient has some issues with her heart, and as she ages, her cardiac capacity might even decline."
Liu Rushuang listened, nodding silently, "I know..."
Xu Musen, however, frowned. Yao Mingyue had heart issues?
This bit of information was never shared with him by Yao Mingyue, neither when they were children nor in his past life.
"Knowing is good. Please go to our chief physician's office to sign the papers and complete the hospital admission process; the patient will be out shortly."
The doctor nodded, glad that the family was aware.
"Alright, thank you, doctor."
Liu Rushuang said hastily, then quickly followed the nurse to one side.
The doctor turned and prepared to go back to the operating room.
"Doctor, may I ask... What kind of impact will her heart condition have in the future?"
Xu Musen couldn't help but ask.
The doctor replied, "Well, if she lives a normal life, pays close attention, and takes medication regularly, she should have no problems with daily living. But if she gets older, beyond her twenties, experiencing strong stimuli or engaging in physically demanding activities like pregnancy could be dangerous..."
The doctor continued, only to notice the young man's expression freezing before him.
Waves of shock flooded Xu Musen's heart!
He remembered the last words Yao Mingyue said in his arms.
"If there's another chance, would you come and freeload off me again..."
Exactly the same as what she said in his arms in his previous life.
Xu Musen had long suspected that Yao Mingyue might, like him, have been reborn... or remembered something.
Now, he was even more certain.
If that was indeed the case and Yao Mingyue also had a heart condition,
it would explain why she never chose to have a baby with him in their previous life...
Xu Musen remembered the last time they discussed the matter of children at home.
The words Yao Mingyue said to him.
"It must be because... If I had a child, I wouldn't be able to love you properly."
At this moment, Xu Musen realized his grave error; the reason Yao Mingyue feared having children was not because she was worried about competing for affection.
It was because she truly couldn't...
And if she suffered any misfortune because of this child, Xu Musen doubted he could ever forgive himself.
He would also regret the pressure he had put on her for so long.
Thus, he buried it all in his heart... but everyone else also overlooked it.
Her own self, facing a husband's misunderstanding, enduring the torment of her body, deprived of the right to motherhood... what must have been her feelings.
Xu Musen was momentarily dazed, giving a wry smile as he looked toward the operating room door.
