Chapter 908: Xunxun Was Sick
With a loud smack, Zhu Xianglan’s hand ruthlessly whipped across the other person’s face. It was instant, and without a single twinge of hesitation. Her face twisted and distorted in fury, as she looked at Su Qingdong straight in the eyes, like a carnivore wanting to feast on her flesh and slurp her blood. The hatred she held for him was clear as day, heavily condensed in her flaring irises as she stared daggers at him.
“Su Qingdong, why are you still acting like a father? You don’t have the right to do it! You have an illegitimate child with another woman, and now you even want to harm your own daughter?”
She forcefully whipped a finger at his face again and roared, “Su Qingdong, if you lay a finger on my daughter, I will devour you whole and suck every last drop of your blood!” When she shrieked, her voice was shrill and deafening.
Half of Su Qingdong’s aged face was swollen, and the other half flushed red. Livid bruises dotted his entire face.
He gritted his teeth, and it almost sounded as though the friction would hurt both rows of his teeth.
“The situation has already evolved into such a mess, now tell me, whose fault is it? Who was the one who got me drunk? Who was the one who drugged me? Now you’re putting all the blame on me. Zhu Xianglan, you are to blame for everything that has happened so far. What does any of this have to do with me?”
Taken aback, Zhu Xianglan placed a shaky foot behind her to stabilize herself. Her heart felt as though it was being shredded by a cat’s sharp claws. Even her hands felt the urge to lunge forward and rip the heart out of the man’s chest. The man standing before her, whom she had shared the same bed with for decades. She ached to find out how truly dark the soul of this man could be, how cruel he was, and how sickening he made her feel.
Suddenly, the door behind Zhu Xianglan flew open with a slam.
The doctor stepped out, with a noticeable frown on his face.
“This is a hospital. What is this nuisance? Do you want the patient to die? Why aren’t you trying to source blood supplies?”
The person in the room was barely alive, but the two outside were about to strangle each other to death.
What kind of parents were they? Their top priority was not rescuing their daughter, but being at each other’s throats to their heart’s content.
Unquestionably, Su Qingdong did not abandon his daughter after the birth of his son. He had always adored Su Muran since young, even before Su Mucheng was born. Su Muran was his only child, and the person Su Qingdong had poured a lot of heart and effort into.
At best, Su Mucheng’s birth was merely icing on the cake, but Su Muran was different. She was the daughter that he had dedicated his life to, so how could he let anything happen to her?
Su Qingdong promptly began racking his brain for potential blood supplies. Even if he had to buy it, he would pay any amount of money for it. He could not even bring himself to look at his daughter right now. He was afraid of being greeted by a lifeless Su Muran instead.
He had to admit that at this moment, he was deathly worried about Su Muran.
Unfortunately, no matter how many people he attempted to contact, and no matter how many strings he attempted to pull, those who could provide him with the blood previously were either not around, or in another country, whereas some could not be reached at all. However, Su Muran desperately needed the blood to survive, and her time was running dangerously short.
It was dreadful enough that she was diagnosed with the disease, but now she even desperately needed copious amounts of blood to survive. Where were they supposed to find that much blood?
As anxiety overtook her, Zhu Xianglan felt a compelling urge to slice people up with a knife. Even if she did, Su Qingdong’s blood would still be incompatible for Su Muran.
“Why don’t you contact that person from the Lu family? Doesn’t he have the same blood type as your daughter? Wouldn’t he be able to save your daughter?”
Zhu Xianglan raised her voice as she asked, basically yelling at him. Or could it be that you want to watch us mother and daughter rot away, and let that b*tch and her illegitimate child take our places?
Su Qingdong turned a blind eye to Zhu Xianglan’s words. Otherwise, he would definitely have given in to the temptation of choking her to death. If Su Muran was not in mortal danger and desperately needed blood to survive, he would not want to spend another second with Zhu Xianglan.
Even breathing the same air as her made him feel sick to the stomach. Despite tolerating her, he still felt disgusted and totally disgusted by her presence.
Su Qingdong furrowed his brows together. He could bring himself to make the request or call them. How could he beg the people from the Lu family? They surely would not come or help him.
However, Su Muran’s current condition gave him no choice but to bite the bullet and brazenly make the call, even if it meant setting his ego aside.
That’s a matter of your Su family. It should have nothing to do with our Lu Yi.
Ye Shuyun pulled the phone away from her face, the corners of her lips curled upward in an indifferent grin. She was not a heartless person, but she was forced to do so. She wanted to be a good person, but having been backstabbed over and over again, how could she possibly still be nice to anyone else? That would not be kindness, but simply pure idiocy.
She would never forget what Su Muran did when her son Lu Yi was in need of a blood transfusion. They would not donate a single drop of blood to his son, even though she had repeatedly begged them on her knees.
Now, it was their turn to beg for blood, yet they shamelessly sought her help and requested her son to donate his blood. Nothing in this world comes easily, do they think I’m a fool? If Lu Yi dared offer his help, she swore to have Lu Jin break his leg.
Coincidentally, Lu Yi was also at the hospital as little Xunxun was sick again. His heart ached as he caressed little Xunxun’s cheek. The child had been frail since birth, hence she easily fell ill. Growing from two pounds till about nine pounds now was not an easy journey. The entire household constantly worried about her wellbeing, afraid that she felt cold, hungry, or unwell.
This was not the case for the other two playful ones. They were very chubby, eating and sleeping well without any hiccups, as well as rarely being sick. Both were strong and healthy children, and there was no need to worry about them. Perhaps, the two little ones had snatched all their sister’s nutrition for themselves. In just a few months, both of them grew to 16 pounds, while poor little Xunxun was still very tiny and barely the size of a newborn baby.
At the moment, the little girl still had a fever. Both of her cheeks were flushed red, and it seemed like her whole body was burning red as well. She seemed so lethargic, she did not even have the energy to cry.
Lu Yi had secretly brought the little girl to the hospital, without informing the rest of the family, particularly Old Master Lu. She was the Lu family’s first baby girl, so Old Master Lu would feel greatly troubled going a day without seeing her. If he found out that his little granddaughter was having such a bad fever, he would surely lose his cool.
“How’s it going?” Lu Yi asked He Yibin, “Is Xunxun all right?”
The little girl gawked at him with large beady eyes, while pursing her pink, plump lips. She must have felt very unwell. Usually, she would still play with her father, but now she did not even mutter a word. As tears constantly streamed from her eyes, her voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen from all the crying. Her face was pinkish and her eyes were red, anyone who saw her little countenance would admire her prettiness and cuteness, but also feel pitiful and sympathetic toward her.
