Chapter 489 Leaving That Damned Place
She stretched out her hand and gently touched the cool outer wall of the incubator with her fingertips. Her movements were as gentle as if she were treating the most precious glass, for fear of disturbing the little person inside.
"Well, the doctor here just gave her a full checkup and said she's more stable than expected."
Ji Wan's voice remained flat, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a subtle hint of relaxation.
She looked at Zhao Xiyue's excited expression, and the ice in her heart that had been formed because of Chi Wenyan seemed to melt a little bit because of this warmth.
"That's great, that's great." Zhao Xiyue was so excited that she was a little incoherent. She turned around suddenly and grabbed Ji Wan's arm.
The force was so strong that Ji Wan frowned slightly. "Wanwan, I told you that leaving that damn place is the right thing to do. This is where Nian Nian belongs. The doctors and equipment here will definitely save her. They definitely can."
Her eyes were burning and bright, filled with almost paranoid hope.
The joy was so pure, so overwhelming, that it almost set her whole being on fire.
Ji Wan was a little stunned by her sudden enthusiasm, but when she felt the scorching heat from her palm and her undisguised joy for Nian Nian, the corners of her tightly pursed lips finally showed a faint curve.
"Well, the team of experts here is currently consulting and will have a preliminary treatment plan soon."
"There must be a way, Wanwan, believe me, we will definitely find a way to save Nian Nian."
Zhao Xiyue nodded vigorously, her tone firm, as if she wanted to pound this belief into Ji Wan's heart.
She looked at Ji Wan, and besides joy, there was a flash of guilt and a stronger determination in her eyes.
She will definitely punish that bitch Su Jiujiu severely. She will dig three feet underground to find that bitch Su Jiujiu for Nian Nian and also for... atonement.
"The environment here is much better than before." Zhao Xiyue looked around the spacious and bright ward with advanced facilities, her tone full of admiration.
"With Nian Nian here, I can feel more at ease."
She took a deep breath, and her chest was filled with new hope, as if all the previous gloom and despair had been dispelled by the advanced and bright ward.
Ji Wan didn't say anything, but just turned his gaze back to Nian Nian in the incubator, his eyes so gentle that they could melt the ice.
Yes, as long as Nian Nian can get better, she is willing to pay any price.
The pure concern and joy shown by Zhao Xiyue at this moment was a rare comfort she had felt in the despair and pain of recent days.
But her calculations for herself...
When Ji Wan thought of this, the smile on his lips froze.
Zhao Xiyue lowered her voice, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement and cruelty: "Ji Wan, Su Jiujiu is in my hands."
Ji Wan's pupils suddenly shrank and her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fingers so hard that her nails almost dug into the flesh of her palms.
When she mentioned Su Jiujiu, her voice trembled slightly: "What did you say? Did Su Jiujiu say anything to you?"
"That's right." Zhao Xiyue's tone was firm, even with a hint of relief. "No, but I have already contacted the doctor. Nian Nian's illness can't be delayed any longer. As long as Su Jiujiu's bone marrow is available, Nian Nian can survive. I will have the doctor arrange surgery for them as soon as possible and force them to go through with it."
"Force?" Ji Wan's heart sank. She grabbed Zhao Xiyue's arm with such force that she frowned. "Zhao Xiyue, what do you mean by that? Su Jiujiu...does she agree to donate bone marrow?"
Zhao Xiyue's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said firmly, "Of course. For Nian Nian, how could she not agree?"
Her voice rose a few notches, as if she was trying to cover up something with the volume.
Ji Wan stared into her eyes. Would someone as selfish as Su Jiujiu, who would do anything to achieve her goals, willingly donate bone marrow for Nian Nian, with whom she had no deep feelings?
She doesn't believe it.
Those clear eyes were as sharp as a knife at this moment, as if they could see through all lies: "Zhao Xiyue, look into my eyes and tell me the truth. Does Su Jiujiu disagree?"
Zhao Xiyue felt a little guilty when she looked at her, and her eyes began to avoid her. Finally, she lost her temper and her tone became impatient, with a hint of determination to throw the jar into the air.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth, she doesn't agree. But so what? Whether she agrees or not is not important at all. What matters is that Nian Nian can survive."
"unimportant?"
Ji Wan couldn't believe her ears. She suddenly shook off Zhao Xiyue's hand, her chest heaving violently, anger and disappointment intertwined. "Zhao Xiyue, how could you say such a thing? That's illegal. That's coercion. How can we use such means to save Nian Nian?"
Zhao Xiyue also became excited. She took a step forward and almost shouted.
"Breaking the law? Forcing? Ji Wan, wake up. Nian Nian's life is hanging by a thread. Just a bit of Su Jiujiu's bone marrow can save Nian Nian's life. This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it."
Her eyes were bloodshot and her voice was hoarse with excitement.
"I've already let Nian Nian down once, I can't watch her get into trouble again. Su Jiujiu has hurt so many of us, so what's wrong with using a little of her bone marrow? She owes us this. She owes Nian Nian."
"But this is different." Ji Wan's voice also rose, with a tremor of despair. "Saving people is one thing, but using this method... how is this any different from Su Jiujiu's scheme against Chi Wenyan and us? We can't become the kind of person we hate the most."
"Difference?" Zhao Xiyue sneered, her eyes full of madness and paranoia.
"The difference is, we're trying to save an innocent life, while Su Jiujiu is doing it for her own dirty selfish desires. Ji Wan, stop being so soft-hearted. Now's not the time to be so fussy. As long as Nian Nian gets better, I'm willing to go to hell."
Ji Wan's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and a suffocating pain spread.
Saving Nian Nian is her urgent wish.
But, in this way.
She looked at the almost crazy stubbornness in Zhao Xiyue's eyes and was speechless for a moment.
The moral standards and the strong desire to save her daughter were pulling violently at her heart, causing her great pain.
Zhao Xiyue said firmly, "Let's put it this way"
Ji Wan took a step back suddenly, as if burned by the madness in Zhao Xiyue's eyes.
She shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling with excitement: "No, Zhao Xiyue, you are crazy. We can't do this. This is a crime. To save Nian Nian, we can think of other ways, but we must never hurt another person in this way."
