Such a reckless act of killing three thousand while injuring herself eight hundred left Qiao Nuo severely weakened. As she drove to the riverbank, she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell onto the steering wheel in steady drops.
She had always known that Jin Chengyan did not love her; the only thing he felt for her was a desire for her body. It had been that way four years ago, and it remained unchanged even now.
She could not protect her body, nor could she guard her heart.
Bit by bit, he consumed her. He told her to hate him; at least that way, there would still be a place for him in her heart.
But did he know that she had hated him for four years?
For four years, there had not been a single day when she did not think of him, reflecting on every little moment they shared.
Returning home, she took a shower and went to bed.
Tomorrow, she would have to take care of Qiao Kawai. She did not have the luxury of time to wallow in sorrow.
As for Jin Chengyan… it was best if she never saw that man again.
Soon after, Qiao Nuo arrived at the hospital to discuss Qiao Kawai's surgery with the attending physician. However, she was taken aback when Qi Ziluo looked at her with a serious expression.
“Qiao Nuo, Qiao Kawai’s biological mother is indeed a match for her bone marrow, but during the blood tests, we discovered that she has a history of substance abuse. According to regulations, she cannot undergo a transplant within three years,” Qi Ziluo said as he placed a blood report in front of Qiao Nuo.
Qiao Nuo was momentarily stunned. “What… does that mean?”
“It means she cannot proceed with the bone marrow transplant from her mother right now. There was still someone available on A Yan’s side…”
Before Qi Ziluo could finish his sentence, Qiao Nuo interrupted him.
“Can Qiao Kawai wait three years?”
“If you’re suggesting that Qiao Kawai should wait three years because of your relationship with A Yan, then I’m afraid Qiao Kawai won’t make it that long,” Qi Ziluo replied bluntly.
Qiao Nuo’s spirits sank to an all-time low.
"Actually, at this point, I want to tell you that the person who matched with Qiao Kawai is A Yan."
With a loud bang, Qiao Nuo felt as if her mind was about to explode!
The person who matched was actually Jin Chengyan!
Why him?
How could it be him?
"He was one of the first to undergo testing, but worried about his own compatibility, so he had all the healthy employees from Jin do the matching. Out of tens of thousands, only he and Qiao Kawai matched." Qi Ziluo had been observing everything these days and naturally wanted to speak up for her friend. "You know, he is the only heir of the Jin Family. His health condition does not allow for any issues because regarding the donation, Jin Uncle and A Yan have had disputes."
All of this was information that Jin Chengyan had never shared with Qiao Nuo. Hearing it now felt different.
But just thinking about what he had done to her that day made it impossible for Qiao Nuo to connect the two events.
Jin Chengyan, he was not a good person.
Even if he wanted to donate bone marrow to Qiao Kawai, it must have been for a purpose—there was no other way!
"However, later on, when you found Qiao Kawai's biological mother, I intended to suggest that you stick to the original plan. But if you insist, there's nothing I can do. However, right now, Qiao Kawai's biological mother cannot perform the transplant at all; only A Yan remains."
Only Jin Chengyan was left; otherwise, there would be no other option. Otherwise, they would just have to watch as Qiao Kawai gradually lost her vitality and slowly drifted away from them!
Exiting Qi Ziluo's office, Qiao Nuo walked weakly toward Qiao Kawai's hospital room.
In the corridor, she encountered Qiao Kawai's biological mother, Chen Yue.
She hesitated at the door of Qiao Kawai's room, seemingly wanting to enter but didn’t. When she turned around and saw Qiao Nuo, a somewhat ingratiating smile appeared on her face.
"Miss Qiao, look, I'm about to undergo surgery soon. The money you promised me—could you give me a little bit in advance?" Chen Yue’s complexion was slightly yellowish, giving off a malnourished vibe.
Why hadn’t Qiao Nuo noticed anything unusual before?
“Miss Qiao, are you going back on your word? If you don’t give me the money, I won’t perform the surgery, and I’ll let Qiao Kawai fend for herself…”
“Slap—” Before Chen Yue could finish, Qiao Nuo struck her across the face.
How could someone like her even deserve to be a mother? When her own flesh and blood faced life and death, all she could think about was money!
She was even willing to lie for it. Didn’t she realize that her previous drug abuse had left her unable to perform the transplant?
Qiao Kawai’s hopes were dashed in an instant!
“You don’t deserve to be Qiao Kawai’s mother!” Qiao Nuo said coldly to Chen Yue.
Chen Yue covered her face, anger boiling over. “I never wanted to be her mother! If your father hadn’t promised me money, do you think I would have given birth to this burden? Not long after she was born, your Qiao Family went bankrupt. How am I supposed to raise a child on my own?”
“So you deceived me? Do you know how much hope I had, thinking that finding you would finally allow us to get Qiao Kawai the surgery? And now, because of your drug abuse, how can you possibly help her?” Qiao Nuo felt utterly helpless and furious.
All the stress from the past few days weighed heavily on her nerves, and now Chen Yue had struck a nerve. Qiao Nuo felt like she was about to break down!
She tightened her grip around Chen Yue’s neck, unable to believe that this was all real!
Chen Yue grasped Qiao Nuo’s wrist, bewildered by the strength that seemed to surge from nowhere.
The desperate look in Qiao Nuo’s eyes was terrifying.
In the hospital, when Qiao Chen arrived, he saw Qiao Nuo in a frenzy. He rushed forward, prying her hands away and pulling her into his embrace with all his strength.
“Sister, sister, calm down! Please calm down!” Qiao Chen didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Qiao Nuo like this made it clear that it had something to do with Chen Yue.
When Chen Yue saw that Qiao Chen had arrived and that everything had been exposed by Qiao Nuo, she gasped for breath and immediately fled.
“Chen Yue—” Qiao Chen called out after her. What did it mean for her to run away? They still needed to perform Qiao Kawai’s surgery!
But with Qiao Nuo sobbing in his arms, he found himself unable to chase after Chen Yue.
“What's wrong, sister?”
Qiao Nuo's sobs gradually quieted down as she composed herself, holding onto Qiao Chen's arm for support.
“Her current physical condition does not allow for a match with Qiao Kawai.”
“What?” Qiao Chen looked equally surprised. “Then what should we do now? We need to find that person who matched with Qiao Kawai before. No matter how much it costs, we have to make him agree.”
Qiao Chen had no idea that the person in question was Jin Chengyan, and naturally thought it would be an easy task.
But Qiao Nuo knew better!
Her earlier sobbing was not only due to Chen Yue's indifference towards Qiao Kawai; it was also because if Chen Yue couldn't save Qiao Kawai, the only person who could help her was Jin Chengyan.
The thought of having to plead with Jin Chengyan was unbearable for Qiao Nuo.
“If I had known she was this kind of person, we wouldn't have gone through so much trouble searching for her. Thankfully, we didn't let Qiao Kawai meet someone like her; otherwise, the impact on her young heart would be unimaginable,” Qiao Chen said, feeling both heartbroken for Qiao Kawai and preoccupied with how to contact the person who had donated bone marrow previously.
“Sister, do you know who that bone marrow donor is? Your condition isn't stable right now; I can go find him while you take care of Qiao Kawai,” Qiao Chen offered, wanting to help share the burden.
Qiao Nuo didn't want Qiao Chen to know that the donor was Jin Chengyan. She could even imagine that Qi Ziluo had intentionally revealed the identity of the donor to her at Jin Chengyan's behest, wanting her to concede and soften.
But Qiao Nuo had no other options; if she wanted to save Qiao Kawai, there was no alternative.
“No, it's fine. I'll just talk to Dr. Qi about this. You still need to take care of company matters, right?” Qiao Nuo quickly agreed to handle it herself. She couldn't let Qiao Chen get involved; who knew how things would turn out?
Jin Chengyan and Qiao Chen both had domineering personalities. Qiao Nuo truly didn't know what would happen if they ever crossed paths.
After adjusting their mindsets, the two entered Qiao Kawai's hospital room.
Qiao Kawai's condition had been deteriorating over the past few days. When she first entered the hospital, she could still joke and laugh, but now she lay in bed all day long. The daily examinations had drained her energy significantly, and with her worsening condition, there were far fewer smiles on her face.
Qiao Nuo also noticed that Qiao Kawai's hair was falling out little by little, so she could only put a hat on her to prevent her from overthinking.
When they entered, Qiao Kawai had just woken up from her sleep, but there was still an IV drip in her hand, causing her some pain. She looked at Qiao Nuo with tearful eyes.
“Mommy, Little Daddy, my cute hand hurts so much…” Qiao Kawai wanted to raise her hand, but she didn’t have the strength.
Seeing Qiao Kawai like this made Qiao Nuo's eyes turn red instantly.
She sat beside Qiao Kawai and gently touched her forehead.
“Sweetheart, Mommy will blow on it, and it won’t hurt anymore!” Qiao Nuo softly blew on the back of Qiao Kawai's hand.
The once chubby little hand now had a bruise on the back, all from the IV.
“It’s okay, we’ll be home soon! Sweetheart, just hang in there.” Just a little longer, Mommy will make sure you’re safe!
In her heart, Qiao Nuo had already made a decision.
