When I got home that day, I just talked about the weather and the TV show, and I didn't say a word about the hospital and my father. Even Yu Mo, who had reminded me that I had been separated from my mother for a few days, and that I should call to ask if I should, resisted the temptation to refuse because my mother might be resting.
Time moved on silently. In the evening, I thought that I would sleep on my own and there would be no more surprises. I finally calmed down after a whole day.
But at this moment, Yu Mo came out of the washroom and jokingly reminded her, "Wife, the bath water has been adjusted to a certain temperature and is only waiting for you to bathe." As Yu Mo spoke, he bent down and made a gesture of 'please'.
Remembering that it would only be twelve hours before the blood was drawn and that it was best not to get wet, I said lazily, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't wash."
Yu Mo immediately tensed up and walked over to me. "Are you feeling sick?" Do you need to go to the hospital? "
I had already come up with a solution. "Don't be too nervous, it's nothing serious, it's just that the weather is cold. I tidied up the clothes in the closet, maybe it's a little long, so I'm a little tired. However, I'll be fine by tomorrow."
To dispel Yu Mo Yi's misgivings, I dragged him to the closet and showed him the clothes I had packed beforehand. Yu Mo finally believed me, but then he grabbed my arm and explained it to me very seriously.
"I'll repeat myself. In the future, you can no longer do household chores like cooking and cleaning up your clothes. Wait for me to come back. Your primary task now is to protect our child. Do you remember?"
I hurriedly promised him with the same seriousness, "Remember, don't worry. Today is the first time and the last time. There will definitely be no future."
Yu Mo Yi then released me, and I thought that I was safe again, so I went to sleep in my bedroom.
Suddenly, Yu Mo stopped in front of me and looked at me with a rich expression. "Wife, bathing is equivalent to removing fatigue, there's no need to save it. Since you're tired, why don't I do it for you?"
I immediately blushed, but only for a moment, and then I woke up from my love affair. I remembered that if this happened, the purple on the needle would disappear and Yu Mo Yi would definitely be caught. Then, wouldn't the matter of me drawing blood and matching type be exposed?
Therefore, he could not bear to do so.
It seemed that I had to take a bath, so I decided to do my own thing. After thinking about it, I said, "You are tired even after working at the company for the entire day. I'll do it myself."
With that, I threw down the ink and walked quickly to the washroom. Yu Mo Yi was about to say something, but all he had to do was say "Ai" and he had to swallow the words that had yet to come out of his mouth.
After entering the washroom, I was lucky enough to think that I would stay there and pretend to wash up later, but then I gave up on this little trick that would be seen through at a glance.
Opening the shower, I took a quick shower.
Maybe it was because I had been busy all this time and my body was weak. By midnight, I had a fever, and by the time I got to the hospital, my body temperature was 39 degrees Celsius.
My body was hot, my head was buzzing, and my consciousness was drifting away. In a daze, I saw my father again, but it was in a dirty dump.
Dad was hunched over his ragged clothes, picking up trash, and I ran over to him like crazy, crying, "Dad, what are you doing?"
His father lifted up his black and white face and said sadly, "Yan'Er, because the case is still unclear, I don't have any proof of identity. I can't find any decent job, I can only pick up trash to make a living."
When I heard this, my heart broke. Suppressing my grief, I said, "Dad, don't worry. Even if your Yan'Er is going to sacrifice her life, she will definitely do it for you. Just you wait, I will go find Uncle Yang right now."
I turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Behind me, my dad shouted anxiously, "Yan'Er, you're pregnant, so you have to take your child seriously. Don't worry about me, I can still move.
I felt worse. I raised my head and screamed towards the sky. At the same time, my head felt a tearing pain. Then, I woke up.
I saw a number of doctors and nurses standing nearby, their mouths opening and closing as they talked, but I couldn't make out a single word. After what seemed like half a day, I was wide awake, but the bigger problem was waiting for me.
As soon as Yu Mo had taken my temperature, he made me lie down again and stared at me with shining eyes.
"Gu Yan, when I was changing your hospital gown, I saw a bruise on your arm with a red dot in the middle. What happened?"
I knew I couldn't hide it any longer. Yu Mo Yi had already made his suspicions clear, or perhaps he had already guessed it, and was just waiting for me to say it.
Calming my emotions, I truthfully said, "I'm sorry, I hid this from you. Today, I went to the hospital to draw out my blood for matching because I wanted to donate my bone marrow to Yang Xiaoming's grandson."
I felt a lot more at ease with these words, but the next second, my arms were clamped tight by Yu Mo. He questioned me harshly.
"Gu Yan, don't tell me that you don't even know that once the match is successful, you'll have to knock out the child first if you want to donate the bone marrow. But you insisted on doing so. Let me ask you, is your heart made of iron?" Are you worthy of our child? Are you fit to be a mother? "
Yu Mo Yi's every word hit the sore spot in my heart, and my tears began to flow. I said with tears in my eyes.
"Yes, I know the consequences of this. I know it better than anyone, because I am exchanging my child's life for mine. But do I have any other way? I am not only the mother of a child, I am also the daughter of my father. If this time, I really hope to keep my father's innocence and be ignored by me, would I still have the face to live in this world? Was he even fit to raise an innocent child? "No, in that case, I will go straight to hell."
Due to my excitement, my body started to tremble and my frequency increased. Yu Mo stopped speaking upon seeing this, but he turned his gaze towards the door of the ward with a frown, leaving me with a firm and cold back.
A chill went down my spine, and once again I was preoccupied with why he had married me, and I was more determined than ever to do so. Forcing myself to grieve, I said bitterly.
"If the child is gone, you will no longer have to be bound to make the right decision about our relationship. From this perspective, it would be a good thing for me to draw blood."
I should have been happy to say what I wanted to say the most, but instead I felt as if my body was being cut apart by a sharp weapon, one, another.
Yu Mo turned his head and looked at me with eyes that were so red that they were frightening. There was a suppressed anger in them and a pain that couldn't be hidden. After a stalemate, he finally swore.
"I will definitely think of another way to donate the bone marrow."
