A whole night has passed, and Song Ning is still being treated.

The two started arguing again, and it looked like they were about to fight again.

The doctor came out at that moment.

"Alright, stop arguing. Now is not the time to assign blame. Think about how to save Song Ning."

"Doctor, how is my wife?" Huo Beian rushed forward, extremely anxious.

"The situation is not good. We are doing everything we can to save the baby. The patient is experiencing severe bleeding, and there is a high chance that the baby will not survive."

"What... how could this happen?" Huo Beian almost couldn't stand up.

Gu Tingzhou frowned deeply upon hearing this.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

"Doctor, please, you must save my wife. We can have another baby."

Huo Beian knelt down in front of the doctor in anguish.

“Okay, we’ll do our best. Is any of you a relative of the patient? The patient has a very rare blood type, HR, also known as Rh-negative blood. The patient needs a blood transfusion.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Beian was completely stunned.

Blood transfusion, rare blood type...

Song Ning's only immediate family member is Song Daqiang, but he's in jail.

"I'll contact the prison to see if we can arrange for Song Daqiang to receive a blood transfusion!"

Gu Tingzhou immediately turned and ran towards the prison.

Gu Tingzhou had just run out of the hospital when he suddenly remembered that this morning was the day he had agreed to go to Shen Zhixia's house to propose marriage.

However, Song Ning is now in grave danger.

He can't just abandon it.

Never mind, I'll explain to Shen Zhixia later.

Gu Tingzhou went to the prison and applied to the prison to allow Song Daqiang to come to the hospital for a blood transfusion.

Upon hearing that his daughter's life was in danger, Song Daqiang immediately felt obligated to help. "Take me there right now!"

After all, he was hoping that Song Ning would be filial to him after he was released from prison!

As a result, after arriving at the hospital, Song Daqiang underwent a blood type test.

"Doctor, how is it? Do my blood types match?"

The doctor shook his head. "No, your blood type is a very low match for the patient."

"What do we do now! Song Ning's only immediate family member is Song Daqiang! But Song Daqiang's blood type doesn't match. Is there no hope?"

Gu Tingzhou was anxious.

It seems the only option now is to publish a petition in the newspaper and appeal to the general public for help!

"I'll try to find a way, contact the newspaper, and see if we can get the residents to donate if they have rare blood types."

Gu Tingzhou said.

Huo Beian nodded. "It seems that this is the only way for now."

Song Daqiang opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

He felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't given away his twin daughters back then, would he have been able to save Song Ning now?

What a tragedy, what a terrible tragedy.

Even if they wanted to find that daughter now, they probably wouldn't be able to, and they don't even know if she's still alive.

Soon after, the *Nancheng Daily* published a plea for help: citizens with rare blood types (like the Rh-negative blood) were encouraged to donate at Nancheng County Hospital. A woman was experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage.

That morning.

Shen Zhixia got ready early, putting on a pink dress.

It's all because Gu Tingzhou said yesterday that he would come to propose marriage this morning.

She even told her father early in the morning that Gu Tingzhou was coming to propose marriage.

Shen Dahai also took his food coupons and meat coupons early in the morning and went out to buy live chickens and ducks, preparing to cook a big feast for his son-in-law when he arrived.

Shen Zhixia's mother also got up early in the morning to clean the house.

The house was spotless.

Everyone was excitedly waiting for Gu Tingzhou's arrival.

But no matter how long they waited, Gu Tingzhou never came.

It's almost noon.

"Why hasn't Gu Tingzhou arrived yet? Honey, is he not coming?"

Shen Dahai asked.

"Yes, Zhixia, is Gu Tingzhou really coming to propose marriage?"

Wu Liu also questioned him.

"Maybe something came up and he was delayed. He said he would come, and I believe he won't break his promise."

Shen Zhixia suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'll go and see him."

Shen Zhixia went out to Gu Tingzhou's house, but found that he was not home.

Next, she went to the police station, only to find that Gu Tingzhou was not there either.

"Strange, where did Gu Tingzhou go?"

Unable to find him, Shen Zhixia had no choice but to inquire with a colleague at a police station.

"Hello comrade, where is your Director Gu?"

"Our director is in the hospital."

"What? Has something happened to Gu Tingzhou?"

Shen Zhixia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Gu Tingzhou's failure to propose marriage must have meant something was wrong. And indeed it was.

"It's Director Gu's friend who's in trouble and is being rescued."

Gu Tingzhou's friends are her friends.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

When she arrived at the entrance of the hospital's emergency room, she finally saw Gu Tingzhou.

At this moment, Gu Tingzhou looked haggard, with some bruises on his face.

"Gu Tingzhou, you really are here."

"Shen Zhixia, what brings you here?"

Gu Tingzhou stood up, looked at her, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I forgot to propose."

"It's alright. I heard your friend had an accident, so I rushed over to check on him. How is your friend?"

"Song Ning is still in critical condition, suffering from severe bleeding..."

"Song Ning?"

Upon hearing the name, Shen Zhixia hesitated for a moment.

It turns out that the friend who delayed Gu Tingzhou's marriage proposal was Song Ning. Of course, she knew who Song Ning was—Gu Tingzhou's white moonlight.

Could it be that Gu Tingzhou was with Song Ning all night?
