Yan Huan gripped both of her hands tightly and eventually, that was the only thing she could do while she lay weakly. She was powerlessly enduring the pain that others had brought to her, wrecked her, humiliated her because now she was neither human nor on the verge of death.
At that moment, she felt like her past life recurred, causing her to age swiftly, withered rapidly, and emaciated all of a sudden. She even felt the flesh and blood on her losing little by little. Her skin was dehydrated, all the moisture was lost and had caused her to age in the blink of an eye.
As the saying goes, blood is a part of the human body.
Blood is essential for the heart to stay alive while blood is the reason behind the warmth of a human body.
Blood was forcibly withdrawn from her body little by little and transferred into the body of a woman that she would never want or be willing to save.
She would save and give her blood to anyone in this life, but would never do the same for Su Muran.
The door outside cracked open gently. At this juncture, from the first time of being terrified but now, she was completely numb to the feeling. She did not even bother to open her eyes until an ice-cold hand was placed on her face. The hand was retrieved but soon after her face felt a surge of pain along with the sound of a slap.
She opened her eyes and stared coldly at the woman that appeared more like a ghost in front of her.
“There is no one in this world that can ever save you.”
Words that spat out of Yan Huan’s mouth were like a curse from her.
Exactly, there was no one that could save Su Muran. Regardless of whose bone marrow she would receive, eventually, she would die due to the same sickness like her past life. This was the punishment that God had given her which could equally be treated as a punishment to the Su family.
Su Muran’s pupils shrank as she extended her hands to pinch Yan Huan’s face. “I hated your face the most. Aren’t you capable of everything, the international best actress? Where are your excellent acting skills? Tsk, look at how you are now, looking like a piece of rotten meat, lying down ready to be torn into pieces as I please.”
“Don’t worry.” She leaned in, ferocity still hanging on her sunken face.
“I will drain out all your blood and live your life.”
Yan Huan turned away her face and did not want to say anything further. It was up to God’s will to decide whether she would live or die, but for Su Muran, it was destined that she could not live long.
She believed that the existence of natural order of things in this world, not that there was no retribution, instead, the time had not come yet.
“It’s time for the operation.” Zhu Xianglan was getting impatient. She might go crazy if she had to wait any longer because the Su Muran in her eyes was weaker day by day just like a flower losing its color all of a sudden.
Su Muran’s pale face had Zhu Xianglan wondering if she was still the beautiful, outstanding daughter of hers or the daughter that brought her pride.
She did not want her daughter to continue to be like this so this operation must be performed as soon as possible, one more day of delay meant one more day for Su Muran to suffer the pain and a step closer to meeting the grim reaper.
The doctor flipped through the recent medical report and stated, “It’s about time for the operation. The operation can begin anytime because Ms. Su’s body is already adjusted to the most suitable condition and the donor is at her best for the extraction of bone marrow.”
However, the doctor still needed to have a word with Zhu Xianglan.
“Mrs. Su, there are two ways of extracting the bone marrow, the former is by detaching while the latter is by direct extraction. The person will experience less harm by detachment, but if it’s to preserve the quality, direct extraction would be better, but the pain would be extremely unbearable…”
“Extraction, of course, I choose direct extraction.”
Zhu Xianglan had never treated Yan Huan as a human. That woman’s daughter will have to pay for the pain that I felt. Who cares if Yan Huan is alive or dead? It would be better for her to die or else I will have to make her dead instead.
Originally the doctor wanted to persuade Zhu Xianglan to change her mind, but she looked firm about her decision, so the doctor did no further persuasion.
Yan Huan grabbed tightly onto the edge of the bed as her skinny fingers were already filled with scars and her grasp was still hard. The corner of her lips was bitten by her until it was hard to be recognized.
Suddenly, excruciating pain hit her again, she forcefully banged her head onto the bed, but several people pressed her down and then a thick needle was inserted at the back of her spine to extract her bone marrow directly.
Beads of cold sweat on her forehead came dripping down. Her pair of eyes were red from restraining, her body trembled and spasmed severely. The several people that were still pressing on her were also filled with sweat until Yan Huan’s bone marrow was completely extracted, and Yan Huan’s body collapsed like a corpse.
Her face ran out of color as she leaned on the wooden bed weakly.
Her mouth was full of blood when she tried to touch her lips gently.
While at the same time in the Lu family, Xunxun, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Her small mouth twitched and her eyes were red, then beads of tears came rolling down her cheeks and she cried out loud.
When Xunxun started to cry, Lu Qi and Lu Guang cried along with her.
Lu Yi hurriedly extended his hands to pick up Xunxun, who was still young.
Xunxun tightened her fist and cried her lungs out no matter how Lu Yi coaxed her.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Lu Yi coaxed his daughter softly, while Ye Shuyun and the housekeeper each hugged the two boys. Both of the sons were crying as hard as their sister until their voice turned hoarse, their face was flushed. They looked like they were inches away from crying to death.
“I will bring her out for a moment,” Lu Yi carefully carried the child in his arms that was crying breathlessly because he knew that the other two children would stop crying when they did not hear Xunxun’s cry.
“Go ahead.” Ye Shuyun wiped the tears on her face and felt sorry for the kids without the companion of their mother. The kids were so vulnerable without the love of their mother. She caressed little Guang’s chubby face with sympathy.
“What are the three of you going to do with your life now?”
She could not help but hug her grandchildren and cried, even the housekeeper was secretly wiping off her own tears.
Lu Yi stood in front of the window outside and pulled open the curtains. There was nothing outside except the pitch-black surroundings. However, Xunxun’s eyes were wide open, not knowing what she was looking at. She sniffed from time to time and huge droplets of tears were still streaming down her cheeks.
“Behave and don’t cry, my dear,” Lu Yi carefully caressed his daughter’s face.
“Daddy knows that you miss mom but now that your mom is not here, Xunxun must behave and listen well, so one day when you grow up, your mom will return okay?”
Xunxun extended her small hands to hold onto her father’s thumb.
Even though it was pitch-black outside, Lu Yi would hold her daughter and stand in front of the window. He knew Xunxun loved to stay here because she could look into the distance even though Lu Yi had no clue what Xunxun had in her eyes.
