267: Gentle Side

Gentle Side

"I need to get changed!" Gu Mian was still wearing pyjamas, and so was Tang Zui.2

"There's no time for that!" After Tang Zui said that, he grabbed Gu Mian's hand and left the apartment.

Tang Zui brought Gu Mian to a hospital ward.

After he entered the ward, Tang Zui walked over to the hospital bed. When the sickly girl on the bed saw Tang Zui, she immediately sat up and hugged him tightly. "Brother Zui, it hurts. Please save me."

Yun Xiaoxiao's face was very pale, and she looked gaunt. It was obvious that she was in poor health.

"How did her condition get so serious? Wasn't she fine before this?" Tang Zui looked at Yun Xiaoxiao's parents, who were sitting beside the hospital bed, with furrowed eyebrows.

Yun Xiaoxiao's parents remained silent, as they did not know how to explain things to Tang Zui.

"Brother Zui, don't blame mum and dad. It's all my fault. This body of mine is useless. If only my older sister were still alive, she would definitely think of a way to save me. I really miss her." Tears streamed down Yun Xiaoxiao's cheeks non-stop as she hugged Tang Zui.

"Xiaoxiao, come on, don't cry. Brother Zui will make sure that you're all right, too. I'll definitely save you too." Tang Zui wiped the tears off Yun Xiaoxiao's cheeks affectionately.

This was the first time Gu Mian, who was standing at the doorway, saw this gentle side of Tang Zui. Only now did she realize that Tang Zui only acted like a lunatic in front of her, and that he was really nice to everyone else.

Gu Mian felt somehow bitter.

"Young Master Tang, Xiaoxiao is in emergency need of blood transfusion right now. Or else, her health will continue to deteriorate. But she needs way too much blood, and the hospital is no longer able to supply that… And in the future, she'll need lifelong regular blood transfusions to stay alive. She'll be depending on other people's blood for the rest of her life." Yun Xiaoxiao's mum started weeping, too. "If only Ning Ning were alive, she definitely would not let her younger sister suffer like this."

Tang Zui glared at Gu Mian the moment he heard Tang Ning's name. Tang Ning was Yun Xiaoxiao's biological sister.

Gu Mian could see the hatred in Tang Zui's eyes, and she subconsciously took a step backwards. She had no idea why Tang Zui was angry at her again.

After Tang Zui consoled Yun Xiaoxiao for a while, he suddenly walked towards Gu Mian, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away from the ward.

"Where are we going?" Gu Mian looked a little nervously at him. She had a bad feeling about this.

Tang Zui did not reply. He merely tightened his grip around her wrist, so much so that he was almost crushing her bones into pieces.

Gu Mian was brought to the blood collection room...

Before Gu Mian could figure out what was going on, Tang Zui said, "Get blood from her and give it to Yun Xiaoxiao!"

After Tang Zui finished speaking, he shoved Gu Mian into the chair and forced her to extend her arm.

Gu Mian immediately objected. "I don't want to! You can't do this, Tang Zui. I'm not obligated to donate my blood to anyone!"

Gu Mian felt a chill run down her spine. She heard everything the girl's mother said just now, and she knew that the girl needed lifelong regular blood transfusions to stay alive. She had a feeling that from now onwards, Tang Zui would make her the girl's blood bank!

"You owe her this, so you have no choice. This matter is not up for discussion. Take her blood!"

Gu Mian tried to struggle, but Tang Zui pressed her against the chair so that she could not move.

"Tang Zui, I really can't donate blood. I'm anemic. You're going to kill me by doing this!"

Gu Mian had suffered from serious anemia ever since she was young, and she was already fortunate enough not to need blood transfusions to stay alive. It was impossible for her to donate blood.

"Besides, I don't owe anyone anything!"

Her words utterly infuriated Tang Zui. He growled at the nurse, "Get her blood now!"

'She owes Little Ning this. She might be able to atone for a small portion of her sin by saving Little Ning's biological sister!'

The young nurse immediately walked over and jabbed the tip of the needle into Gu Mian's arm. Blood flowed out of the translucent plastic tube…
