Qin Yu and Shao Xiaofei stood at the door of the ward, looking at their once vibrant daughter in this state. Their hearts felt like they had been put into a meat grinder, and the pain was unbearable.
The doctor walked towards them with the latest test results in hand.
Shao Xiaofei was too weak to look up, and Qin Yu didn't dare to look either, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What was the result?"
The doctor shook his head helplessly.
Qin Yu pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes instantly reddened.
In the past few months, they have searched for all the relatives they could find. Apart from the two of them, everyone in the Qin and Shao families has been tested for matching, but none of them were successful.
This latest one is already a distant relative of the Qin family.
Qin Yu leaned his head against the wall, closed his eyes in anguish, and Shao Xiaofei covered her face and wept.
The doctor sighed softly and comforted her, "Actually, the young lady's condition is currently under good control. We can continue to search in the bone marrow registry, but that will be a little slower."
"What if we have another child?" Qin Yu suddenly looked at him. "I heard that newborn cord blood can..."
"Theoretically, this is feasible, and there are successful precedents," the doctor replied truthfully. "However, the fertility cycle is too long. You two need to start preparing for pregnancy in advance, which will take about three months. Even if you get pregnant successfully, the pregnancy will last for ten months. With such a long time, it is hard to guarantee that no other accidents will happen."
"But I can't just watch my daughter die like this!"
Qin Yu roared, like a helpless child.
However, Shao Xiaofei suddenly had a bright idea, "Qin Yu, we have one more person..."
"Oh?" The doctor was taken aback. "Is there anyone in your family who hasn't been tested for a match?"
"Yes!" Shao Xiaofei grasped at a straw, but just as she was about to blurt it out, Qin Yu suddenly pulled her back.
A glint of slightly frightened coldness and incredulous astonishment flashed across his eyes.
"Qin Yu!" Shao Xiaofei cried out in despair, "Is my daughter's life more important, or..."
"Stop talking!"
The doctor stared at the two of them in disbelief, then wisely left first.
Qin Yu calmed down, and the two sat on a bench in the corridor, the air heavy and cold.
After a while, Shao Xiaofei looked at him calmly and asked, "Have you never thought about going to find your younger brother?"
Qin Yu lowered his head and remained silent.
"Qin Yu, I'm begging you, please?" Shao Xiaofei's voice trembled. "Yes, he's an illegitimate child, and his existence might threaten you... but Qin Yu, he's also Nuan Nuan's hope for survival!"
"Enough!" Qin Yu was exasperated.
Didn't he want to save his daughter?
The "younger brother" that Shao Xiaofei mentioned was actually his younger sister, but he had no idea where to find her or even how to find her!
Even if they find her, would the family be willing to save his daughter? The Qin family has ignored her for so many years, would she be willing to donate her bone marrow?
Qin Yu had a headache and rubbed his temples vigorously.
“Let’s think of other ways…” he said weakly, “Didn’t the doctor say we could also look in the bone marrow registry?”
"But the success rate of matching between relatives is the highest!"
"You and I are Nuannuan's biological parents. If neither of us can do it, then what about an illegitimate child!"
"Qin Yu!" Shao Xiaofei screamed in despair, covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably.
Qin Yu felt sad.
In his memory, Shao Xiaofei had always been a shrewish and domineering woman, but he had never seen her so vulnerable.
He walked over gently, put his arm around Shao Xiaofei's shoulder, and let her lean against him.
Even after getting married, the two have never been this close.
"Ayu, please..." Shao Xiaofei grabbed his clothes, "I can't lose Nuannuan, I want her to live well... I know you have a lot of complaints about our marriage, and I've done a lot of things that have embarrassed you, but as long as you find your brother and he can be a match, Nuannuan will have a glimmer of hope, won't she?"
"As long as there is even a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!"
"Ah Yu, please have pity on me, have pity on me as your mother, okay?"
Shao Xiaofei sobbed uncontrollably, and Qin Yu also felt like he couldn't breathe, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart.
"With the Qin family's power, finding someone shouldn't be difficult! If that doesn't work, my father will help."
“Xiao Fei,” Qin Yu said in a low voice after a long silence, looking down into her eyes, “that… isn’t my brother.”
"What?"
"That illegitimate child from back then was a girl. That means... Nuan Nuan really does have an aunt!"

Huo Junyu has been feeling down lately.
His daughter is almost a year old, but he, as her father, has barely held her more than a few times. When little Yuan Yuan was little, she would cry in the middle of the night, demanding milk and needing her diapers changed. He did all of these things himself, but after a few times, a bunch of nannies took over his duties.
To take care of the child, Jiang Can transferred five or six people from the Huo family's old residence, and Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing even sent several experienced and loyal old servants from the Lu family to Yuyuan.
A dozen or so people take care of one child, with grandparents and maternal grandparents coming over from time to time to help.
Not to mention Huo Junyu, even Jiang Mianmian, who is a mother, felt incredibly relieved.
Moreover, Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing dote on their child, and they take Xiao Yuanyuan to Xingyuan every few days.
That day, Huo Junyu went to his parents' house and was shocked by what he saw as soon as he entered.
Huo Zhixing, dressed as Tigger, lay on the ground with his granddaughter riding on his back. He teased her as he crawled forward, making "hai-yo hai-yo" sounds and occasionally imitating the roar of a tiger.
