Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Yan Xinxin Overhears Mu Shaoqian and Ning Zitong’s Conversation
Yan Xinxin held her phone, frozen in place.
On the other end of the call, Doctor Qin’s voice continued to come through intermittently...
"Are you sure it’s true?"
She asked uncertainly, and a few seconds later, Yan Xinxin made a decision.
"Okay, I’ll be right over now!"
After agreeing, Yan Xinxin immediately turned around, grabbed her bag and coat, and walked out of the office.
Not long after Ning Zitong arrived at Central Hospital, Yan Xinxin also reached the hospital.
While Ning Zitong went straight to Mu Shaoqian’s ward to visit him, Yan Xinxin went to find Doctor Qin.
In the office, Yan Xinxin picked up the lab report handed over by Doctor Qin.
Holding the lab report, Yan Xinxin recalled Doctor Qin’s words, and with a mix of seriousness and distraction, walked out of the office.
After leaving the outpatient building, Yan Xinxin slowly entered the inpatient department’s doors.
She had become overly familiar with the smell of antiseptic from the hospital.
Yan Xinxin quickly found the private ward where Mu Shaoqian was admitted.
Just as she was about to enter, she saw Ning Zitong carrying a kettle of water and entering the ward.
Although she had lived in the Mu family for only six years, all her memories of Ning Zitong since childhood were of a high and mighty woman.
Seeing her personally fetching water and cooking now was something Yan Xinxin never imagined.
"Shaoqian, don’t be so despondent. Your father has already reached out to someone whose bone marrow matches yours. That person will soon come to Ancheng for the match."
As Yan Xinxin approached the doorway, she heard Ning Zitong’s voice.
"Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore."
Mu Shaoqian’s powerless voice followed closely.
"I think this is heaven’s punishment for me."
"Shaoqian, don’t think like that. If heaven is punishing, it should punish me, the blind and heartless mother!"
Ning Zitong took the blame onto herself.
"Shaoqian, when I look back now on the words and actions towards Yuan, I wish I could die to apologize. Do you know? I almost personally harmed my precious daughter and almost destroyed her marriage with Brother Xi, whom she admired since childhood..."
"Being a mother like me is really a rarity..."
"And what about me?"
Mu Shaoqian laughed self-deprecatingly.
"As an older brother, I practically strangled my sister, telling her to die and disappear! How could I be so cruel!"
He was deeply self-critical.
"Dad was right, even if Yan Xinxin isn’t my sister Yuan, I shouldn’t have treated her that way! Why am I so bad, and how did I get so easily incited by that bastard Mu Qianshui to do such insane things, and now there’s no way back, why!"
"Shaoqian, Shaoqian, stop this, calm down!"
Standing at the ward door, Yan Xinxin heard these words and tightened her grip on the lab report.
"Yuan?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind, bringing Yan Xinxin back to reality as she turned around.
"Dad."
She called out.
Mu Jingheng looked at her lovingly, smiled a bit excitedly, and approached her.
"Are you here to see your brother?"
"I..."
Yan Xinxin squeezed the paper in her hand and then looked up.
"Dad, have you really found someone who matches Mu Shaoqian’s bone marrow?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingheng’s smile disappeared, followed by a sigh.
"Not yet found."
Indeed.
Ning Zitong’s words earlier were just to comfort Mu Shaoqian.
Yan Xinxin frowned slightly, then slowly raised her hand to pass the lab report.
Mu Jingheng was momentarily startled.
"Yuan, what’s this?"
