Ten minutes later, the lights on the operating room ceiling were still on when a doctor in surgical scrubs came out. "Which of you is Mo Youxi's family member?"
"I am! I am her mother! Doctor, how is my daughter? Is she out of danger? When can I go see her?" Mo Niannian stood up anxiously. If she could, she would rush into the operating room to see her Youyou immediately.
"Madam, please don't worry. Here's the thing: the injured person's condition is very unstable right now. They've lost a lot of blood, and we're doing our best to save them. However, our blood bank doesn't have enough suitable blood. Your child's blood type is related to yours, so you shouldn't have any problems with donating blood, right?"
Blood bank insufficient?
What should we do? Why is the blood bank short of the blood that Youyou needs?
Youyou has type O blood, while Mo Niannian has type A blood, so she is unable to give Youyou a blood transfusion.
Perhaps Youyou's father shares the same blood type as her, but at this critical juncture, where is she supposed to find her biological father? The man she's never even met?
Isn't this just driving Youyou to her doom?
Could it be... could it be that she's just going to have to watch Youyou...?
"Doctor, is there any other way? How long would it take to find the blood volume as quickly as possible?"
"We can't guarantee the timeline." The doctor glanced at Xuan Mingyu beside Mo Niannian. "Isn't the child's father here too? Which of you has type O blood?"
Hsien Ming-yu stretched out his arm. "Take mine. I'm blood type O."
His words completely broke the previous deadlock.
Mo Niannian turned to look at Xuan Mingyu in disbelief, grabbing his hand. "Are you really...really willing to save Youyou? But you're clearly not hers..."
“Niannian, I’ve said it before, Youyou is my daughter, and no one can change that. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to Youyou.”
The nurse who was to take Xian Mingyu to have his blood drawn has arrived.
Xuan Mingyu patted Mo Niannian's head, "Be a good girl and wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Feng Zhiyuan went over with Xian Mingyu.
***
A few minutes later, after drawing enough blood, Xuan Mingyu pressed the spot on his arm where the needle had been inserted with a cotton swab to stop the bleeding. After a while, the bleeding stopped, and he threw the cotton swab into the trash can and pulled down his sleeve again.
Xian Mingyu planned to return to the operating room door to continue waiting for Youyou's news, but Feng Zhiyuan blocked his way.
"Mingyu, while Ruoruo is not here, there are some things I've been keeping to myself for a long time, and I haven't found the opportunity to tell you."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
“Youyou is three and a half years old this year. Although you and Ruoruo have been divorced for almost five years, I know that you have continued to have contact with her after the divorce. How did you become so sure that Youyou was definitely Ruoruo’s child with another man?”
Xuan Mingyu was a little confused. What exactly did his grandfather mean? Youyou wasn't Mo Niannian's daughter with another man, so was she actually his daughter?
If that's the case... after their divorce... it seems there really was an accident involving Bai Xiaoruo.
Ji Ziqian had given her a strong drug, and he happened to be passing by and saved her, even helping her to counteract the effects of the drug... But they didn't contact each other for several days afterward, and Xuan Mingyu didn't know whether Bai Xiaoruo had taken the drug or not.
What Guangxi told him was that when the doctor treated Bai Xiaoruo while she was unconscious, they discovered she was less than a month pregnant...
Calculating the dates, it coincides exactly with the time when the drug was administered.
Could it be that...
"Since this is a good opportunity to donate blood, why not also get a DNA test done? It might be a good thing to be on the safe side."
In Feng Zhiyuan's view, after so many years of separation, Xuan Mingyu and Bai Xiaoruo reunited, and she had a little girl by her side. The three of them had only spent a few days together, yet Xiaoyouyou was so dependent on Xuan Mingyu.
Sometimes Mo Niannian couldn't calm the little one down; she would cry and fuss, but as long as Xuan Mingyu coaxed her, she would immediately become obedient.
At home, Xiaoyouyou talks about Xianmingyu the most.
If this is fate between the two of them, it's not surprising that Hsien Ming-yu knows how to please Yoyo.
But the resemblance between their eyes and brows, coupled with their close relationship like that of a father and daughter, is perhaps too much of a coincidence.
Children may not have as many thoughts as adults, but they can tell at a glance who they like and dislike.
For a child to trust a stranger so much in just a few days, even more than her mother who has been with her for many years, there is only one possibility: there must be an unbreakable blood relationship between this child and this stranger.
***
After Xian Mingyu donated blood, and several hours of emergency treatment, Xiao Youyou was finally out of danger and transferred to a regular ward.
Mo Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xian Mingyu first took Feng Zhiyuan back, since it was too late and he should go back to rest.
The surgery lasted from around 2 PM until after 9 PM.
......
Hsien Ming-yu stewed some soup, took some food, and pushed open the door to the ward.
Little Youyou was still asleep. Mo Niannian sat on the chair by the bed, staring intently at her sleeping face.
Xuan Mingyu turned around and closed the ward door. He tiptoed to Mo Niannian's side and placed the lunchbox on the table. "Niannian, come and eat something. You haven't had dinner yet."
