Chapter 97 The jade Buddha that you cherished was carried by Yao Yao seventeen years ago.
Lin Wan suddenly lost control of her emotions and became so agitated that she could hardly contain herself.
Everyone's faces instantly filled with astonishment.
She is always calm and gentle, and her interactions with others are always perfectly graceful.
Even Rong Qin, who had known her for decades, had never seen her so impulsive and out of control.
Xie Yuan remained silent the entire way.
At this moment, he, like his wife, was unable to control his emotions.
Incredulous eyes fell on the blood-stained pendant.
What is this jade Buddha pendant?
Or was it just a coincidence?
Then Gu Yuheng's dry, hoarse voice reached his and his wife's ears.
“This is Niannian’s…it’s the amulet she always carries with her.”
He closed his eyes and uttered the words with great difficulty.
These few words seemed to have exhausted his strength.
The amulet protected Nian Nian for many years.
But this time, they were unable to protect the mother and her two children.
The moment Lin Wan heard the word "Niannian," tears welled up in her eyes without warning. A surge of immense grief overwhelmed her, making it impossible for her to hold back any longer.
Her vision went black.
Then his body suddenly lurched forward.
"Mom." Xie Tingyan stepped forward and reached out to catch the unconscious Lin Wan.
He looked at his mother anxiously: "Mom, what's wrong?"
But no matter how much he called out, it was to no avail.
Lin Wan remained unmoved, her eyes tightly closed.
Her face was frighteningly pale, and the tears on her face were icy cold, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.
"A-Wan." A flicker of fear crossed Xie Yuan's eyes as he pulled his wife into his arms.
He gently called to her, "Wake up, don't scare me. You know I'm only strong on the outside, but I'm actually very fragile inside. I can't stand being scared by you."
The change happened too suddenly.
Apart from Xie Yuan and Gu Yuheng, who had guessed the general outline of the matter.
Everyone looked bewildered.
"What's wrong with Awan?" Rong Qin asked, at a loss.
Gu Hanzhou frowned.
Although he was full of doubts, this was clearly not the time to ask.
He silently called for medical staff.
Xie Yuan's hands trembled as he held his wife: "Awan, didn't you always tell me that once we found our daughter, you would make up for all the maternal love we had missed all these years? You would make our daughter the happiest little princess in the world. Now, our daughter has really been found, so you absolutely cannot be hurt! Awan, I'm taking you to see a doctor right now."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Xie Tingyan asked in a shaky voice, "Is that jade Buddha related to Yaoyao?"
Xie Yuan gazed longingly at the operating room door, his mind preoccupied with the girl inside.
"Tingyan, you stay here. I'll take your mother to get checked first."
Xie Yuan's back was no longer straight, and with mixed feelings, he picked up his wife and lifted her up in his arms.
He turned and strode towards the medical staff.
"My wife has always been in poor health, and she just fainted due to emotional distress..."
Xie Yuan explained the patient's condition to the medical staff.
The group walked away, talking as they went.
After watching their figures disappear at the end of the corridor, Rong Qin turned her gaze away and helped her son up from the ground.
"Yuheng, what's going on? How did Awan's daughter get involved with Niannian again?"
She paused, filled with doubt: "Do you know something?"
Gu Yuheng's gaze was fixed on the operating room door, filled with worry. He unconsciously clenched his fingers, his voice slow and deliberate: "Mom, this is a long story. Let's talk about it after Niannian comes out."
Gu Hanzhou patted Rong Qin on the shoulder.
The two exchanged a glance.
They are all intelligent people, with clever and insightful minds.
Actually, I had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
“Our son is right. Right now, we should prioritize Niannian and put everything else on hold,” Gu Hanzhou said.
“You’re right, honey,” Rong Qin nodded.
Xie Tingyan stood silently to the side, scrutinizing Gu Yuheng with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
He has always been eccentric and willful, and even his father often finds himself at a loss with him.
But now, unusually, he has remained silent.
Suddenly the operating room doors opened.
A nurse in a dark green surgical gown addressed the group, saying, "The patient has the rare Rh-negative blood type. Because the blood bank in Kyoto doesn't have enough spare blood, we contacted a neighboring city. Their blood bank happens to have spare blood. Your family can go and pick it up."
Xie Tingyan didn't even think about it.
He strode toward the nurse.
"I am Rh-negative, so I used my own blood type."
But Gu Yuheng gripped her arm tightly.
He frowned and turned his head away.
Gu Yuheng said in a deep voice, "Yours won't work."
"Why?" Xie Tingyan asked in surprise, "Every minute wasted increases the danger to Niannian. Why not use what's readily available instead of going out to gather resources? Gu Yuheng, have you lost your mind?"
He then said to the nurses, "It's okay, I have thick blood, I won't die no matter how much you draw. Draw as much as you want."
Gu Yuheng gritted his teeth and said, "Blood transfusions cannot be performed between immediate family members, otherwise it will cause a severe immune reaction."
Xie Tingyan froze.
At this moment, Gu Hanzhou grabbed his coat and was about to leave.
"Yuheng, you stay here. Dad will go and get it back for you personally..."
I can only feel at ease if a family member goes to retrieve something so important.
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Tingyan interrupted him.
"Uncle Gu, I'll go."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to react, she turned around and strode straight towards the elevator.

In the operating room.
Su Niannian lay quietly on the operating table with her eyes closed, completely unaware of anything.
Her face was as pale as paper, so pale that you could almost see the blue veins under her skin, and the direction of each vein was clearly visible. If it weren't for her slightly rising and falling chest, one might even get the illusion that she was not there.
She never existed in this world.
In the quiet operating room, the sounds emanating from the cold monitors were exceptionally clear.
"Dr. Xie, the patient's blood pressure has stopped dropping." The anesthesiologist kept a close eye on the monitor.
Xie Siyan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his expression was calm, and all his energy was focused on Su Niannian.
He didn't consider whether Su Niannian was his younger sister.
He treated Su Niannian as just an ordinary patient.
On the way here, he tried to calm himself down.
Only with this kind of ability can one protect oneself from interference.
"Has the family retrieved the blood bag?"
The nurse said, "It's already been brought here."
"Immediately open a blood transfusion channel and give the patient a blood transfusion."
"knew."
The nurse didn't dare delay and, following the doctor's orders, immediately took the blood bag Xie Tingyan brought and administered the medication.
This place brings together all the top doctors in neurosurgery and obstetrics and gynecology.
Su Niannian is only six months old now, the baby is not even full-term, it's really pitifully small.
Even if the baby is delivered via cesarean section and placed in an incubator, the survival rate for babies that are not fully developed is still too low.
Therefore, the doctors unanimously decided to preserve the patient if possible.
Fortunately, the doctors were experienced and, after their best efforts, the fetus in Su Niannian's womb stabilized.
However, because she suffered a head injury, she cannot come out immediately and requires further treatment.
----
Five hours later,
Su Niannian's head was wrapped in white gauze as she was wheeled out of the operating room.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
Gu Yuheng reached out, wanting to gently touch his lover's cheek.
The trembling fingertips barely stopped in mid-air.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
I looked up at Xie Siyan.
"Niannian, how is she?" He only asked about Su Niannian's condition as soon as he opened his mouth.
His eyes and heart now only hold Su Niannian.
I can't let go of anything else besides that.
Xie Siyan took off his mask, and he looked as if he had run a marathon.
I'm completely exhausted.
"Don't worry, Niannian and the babies are fine. The obstetrics and gynecology experts did their best to save both babies."
Only then did everyone dare to relax their tense nerves.
Rong Qin and the old lady's eyes reddened, and they decided to go to the temple to offer incense in a few days to thank Buddha for his blessings.
Su Niannian was transferred to a VIP private ward.
She lay quietly on the hospital bed, her curled eyelashes as still as a calm lake, her whole being like an oblivious doll.
When Lin Wan woke up, she learned that Su Niannian had already come out of the operating room.
Despite her weakened state, she arrived at Su Niannian's ward with Xie Yuan's help.
She slowly walked to the bedside, gripping the railing tightly with both hands until her fingertips turned white.
Su Niannian's pale face immediately caught Lin Wan's eye.
As a mother, her heart was breaking.
She burst into tears immediately.
“Master’s wife,” Gu Yuheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “You were so emotional when you saw that jade Buddha, was it because you carried that jade Buddha with Yaoyao seventeen years ago…”
Xie Tingyan and Xie Siyan.
He held his breath and looked at his mother.
Lin Wan gently stroked the face of her daughter, whom she had been longing for day and night.
She closed her eyes briefly, then choked out, "Yes..."
