Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mrs. Rong Sr. was beside herself with worry, wringing her hands in despair. “What do we do now? I’m an old woman; I can’t possibly be the one to donate blood to him!”
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She turned and grasped Rong Feiyu’s hands tightly. “Feiyu, you’re his daughter; your blood type must be a match. Could you give it a try? We have to save your father!”
Rong Feiyu’s face visibly tensed, her lips stiffening into a fragile smile. “Grandma, I do have type A blood, but I’ve heard that close relatives should not donate blood to each other. It could lead to hemolytic disease. I want to save Dad as much as you do, but I’m helpless.”
Awash of sorrow and self-blame painted Rong Feiyu’s features.
Su Yifan, who had been quietly observing, comforted her. “It’s alright, Feiyu. You shouldn’t blame yourself. You’ve already done your best; your willingness alone is commendable.”
Mrs. Rong Sr. turned her face away, disappointment flickering across her weathered features. “What do we do now?”
Lu Chengzhou, who had been silently watching the exchange, arched an eyebrow. “Normally, it’s true that close relatives should not donate blood to each other. But who am I, if not Lu Chengzhou, the renowned medical prodigy of Leucia? Don’t worry, I can solve this problem.”
Lu Chengzhou continued, “Before you all arrived, I had already looked into it. Ms. Rong and Mr. Rong’s blood types don’t present any prohibitive issues. I can employ Y-ray technology to kill off a large number of white blood cells in the donor’s body, thereby ensuring a safe blood transfusion.”
Mrs. Rong Sr. didn’t understand the medical jargon, but her eyes brightened at the possibility of saving her son. She looked expectantly at Rong Feiyu. However, Rong Feiyu’s face tightened even more. She said, “But Grandma, didn’t the doctor say that Dad has already woken up? Shouldn’t we go in to see him first?”
‘If Dad could take this opportunity to disclose information about the family estate, I might not have to go through with the blood transfusion. The doctor described Dad’s condition as severe, and I was frail; I would not be able to withstand the physical toll. I’m not that stupid to risk my health at such a young age.’ Rong Feiyu thought to herself.
At that moment, Sheng Jian, who had been sitting quietly behind them, finally spoke up. “What’s the conflict? Once the blood transfusion is done, you can talk to him all you want.”
Sheng Jian sat there, legs crossed, exuding the aura of a wealthy man.
Lu Chengzhou picked up on it, “Exactly. The more we delay, the more danger Mr. Rong is in.”
Upon hearing that, Mrs. Rong Sr. turned her pleading eyes to Rong Feiyu.
Rong Feiyu gently withdrew her hand from Mrs. Rong Sr.’s grip, her face awash with vulnerability. “Grandma, it’s not that I don’t want to save Dad. But the final exams are coming up, and Dad has high hopes for me. I can’t let him down. If I donate blood now, it will definitely affect my exams.”
She looked conflicted and continued, “After my finals, I have to join a film set. Grandma, I-1 just can’t afford to donate blood to Dad right now.”
Mrs. Rong Sr.’s face took on a steely glint. “So, you’re saying you won’t save your own father?”
Rong Feiyu lowered her head, feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze upon her, her cheeks turning red. “I’m sorry. I want to save Dad, but I also don’t want to compromise my future. I’m a young woman; losing too much blood could have lifelong consequences. Can you forgive my selfishness just this once, Grandma?”
Rong Feiyu’s voice was gentle and full of guilt, making it hard to hold it against her. Mrs. Rong Sr. sighed and gently patted her hand, “I understand. Your life is important too; there’s no need to waste it for someone on their deathbed.”
Mrs. Rong Sr. then turned to Lu Chengzhou, “Doctor, we won’t be going through with the transfusion. Let’s leave it at that and not waste any more effort. Please let us go in and speak to him. There must be something important he still needs to tell us..”
