After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Yanyan took out the ten yuan note that was almost crumpled into a ball.

The ten yuan was "lent" to her by Zheng Huai to buy daily necessities, but because Shen Jingyan kindly bought her a bunch of things with the money, the ten yuan remained untouched.

Although she was very poor and cherished money, she knew that human life was far more important than these material possessions.

"What are you standing there for? Go pay the fee first! Just tell them you're paying this much now, and we'll make up the rest."

Gu Zhiyun nudged Yang Xuechang, whose body was stiff.

A grown man, his hands trembling, clutched the loose change and sobbed.

He has seen the most hateful evil in the world, and he has also seen the greatest good in the world.

Old Xu, who had been silent all along, suddenly burst into laughter at an inopportune moment, pulled out a wad of "10,000 yuan" from his coat pocket, and proudly showed it off to everyone.

"Hehehe, look, I received my allowance last month, but I couldn't remember where I put it. I wanted to buy a candied hawthorn, and I even had to ask my son for money! Turns out I had stuffed it in this coat pocket!"

He didn't even count the money before stuffing it into Yang Xuechang's hand.

"Kid, you're really lucky. My son gave me a lot of pocket money. I don't need it anymore, so here, take it and use it to tide me over!"

That bundle of ten-yuan notes must have cost at least two hundred yuan.

Yang Xuechang had probably never seen such a huge sum of money before, and he was speechless.

"Hehe, envious, aren't you? Study hard, and when you become a professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, you'll receive just as much stipend!"

Professor Wei and Xiao Yuanxing burst into laughter.

"Professor Xu is spurring us on!"

Yang Xuechang was so moved he couldn't express it. Looking at everyone's expressions, he felt as if he were looking at a god of wealth.

After paying the fee, there was a long and endless wait.

Yang Xuechang insisted that everyone go back, while he waited alone.

Old Xu gave a few instructions and then left with the three teachers. They were all quite busy and couldn't be of much help if they stayed.

Before leaving, Jia Chunling comforted Yang Xuechang, saying, "I will organize the class to donate the remaining funds. Duan Meishan is an excellent student and is very popular in the class. Although none of us are wealthy, we will definitely be willing to help!"

Shen Jingyan said to Zhao Yanyan and Huang Yuexi:

"You two must be tired after all that fuss. Go back to your dorm and rest. I'll take care of things here."

It was already late at night. Zhao Yanyan hadn't had a good night's sleep for the past few days, and now she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

Huang Yuexi handed the package to Shen Jingyan and rubbed her sore and swollen eyes.

"Then we'll come again tomorrow."

After the two left, the corridor of the emergency room became quiet and deserted. Occasionally, nurses would come and go, but they were always in a hurry, and Yang Xuechang had no chance to ask them any questions.

After eight hours of resuscitation efforts, Yang Xuechang finally collapsed and slumped down at the entrance of the emergency room, staring blankly at the floor.

Then, as if remembering something, he took out the cute kitten baby clothes from his pocket and rubbed them repeatedly in his palm.

This scene deeply saddened both Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan now feels as much sympathy for Duan Meishan as she hates Zhao Yanyan.

This time, we must make this extremely selfish, arrogant, and vicious woman, who treats hurting people like a game, eat a good meal in jail!

The emergency room door opened, and Yang Xuechang jumped up from the floor.

Before he could ask any questions, the doctor took off his mask. Although he looked exhausted, his smile was reassuring.

"Mother and daughter are safe."

Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan were overjoyed, but Yang Xuechang stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape as if petrified.

"Brother Yang, are you crazy?! You're a father! You have a daughter!"

Yang Xuechang seemed to be still recovering from the surprise, and could only make a hissing sound.

"However, the mother is still very weak and needs 24-hour care. She will be observed in the intensive care unit for a week before being transferred to a regular ward depending on her condition."

The doctor carefully explained, "In addition, since the baby is premature, he is more vulnerable than a full-term baby and will need a lot of supportive treatment later. Please prepare three hundred yuan."

A short while later, Duan Meishan was wheeled out. She was still unconscious, and her face was deathly pale.

The nurse brought the baby over, showed it to Yang Xuechang briefly, and then quickly took it away.

The baby weighed just over four pounds, much smaller than a typical full-term baby, and its cries were weak and feeble.

Yang Xuechang simply hugged the baby briefly before quickly focusing his attention on Duan Meishan.

Since only one person could accompany a patient in the intensive care unit, Shen Jingyan handed Duan Meishan's clothes and toiletries to Yang Xuechang and then left with Gu Zhiyun.

After taking two steps, Yang Xuechang suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Old Gu, Jingya, thank you. When you get back to school, please thank everyone who cared about Shanshan for me."

Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan nodded emphatically.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Zhiyun checked his watch; it was already ten o'clock.

The school gates close at 9:30, so they couldn't get in.

The Imperial University wasn't far from the Imperial University compound, so Shen Jingyan suggested, "Brother Yun, why don't we go home and sleep? It's Sunday tomorrow anyway, so we don't have to worry about being late for class."
