Chapter 629: She Was Willing To Save Him With Her Blood

“Little Six, we don’t want to interfere with your decision, but there are some things I have to tell you. Using your blood to neutralize the poison is equivalent to burning your life. Moreover, your lives will be connected. If he dies, you won’t be able to live either!”

Qiao Xi remained silent.

“Do you know why Grandpa gave up on curing Eldest Miss Lu?”

Qiao Xi looked up. With her grandfather’s character, if he could use his blood to help Eldest Miss Lu detoxify the poison, he would certainly have offered his blood without hesitation. But why did he give up?

“Because Grandpa knew that using the blood of the divine physician to detoxify the poison would cause his and the patient’s lives to be linked. He was already in his 60s then and might pass away anytime. Eldest Miss Lu was still young, so if he really did that, Eldest Miss Lu’s life would be shortened. Therefore, he gave up and wanted to rely on his own abilities to help her detoxify the poison. However, he didn’t expect Eldest Miss Lu to suddenly die from the poison, which made Grandpa feel guilty for the rest of his life.”

Qin An furrowed his brows and persuaded her. “Xi Xi, I know that you have deep feelings for Gu Zheng, but you have to think carefully. Once your blood ties are connected, you won’t be able to regret it. He’ll absorb your life force to suppress the poison. Perhaps you—”

Qiao Xi interrupted him. “I know.”

“Have you really decided?” Qin An’s voice trembled slightly.

A teardrop rolled down from the corner of Qiao Xi’s eyes, and she said in a flat voice, “Third Brother, I know all of you are doing this for my own good, but I love Gu Zheng. If he leaves this world, then there’s no meaning in me continuing to live! Even if he has to absorb my life force, I’m willing to save him!”

“Perhaps I’ll regret it in the future, but if I don’t save him now, I’ll spend the rest of my life in sorrow and regret. I just want to have a clear conscience.”

Qin An fell silent for a moment before turning to the ward’s door. Suddenly, he paused and slowly said, “Little Six, although we’re your family, we have no right to interfere with your choice. Since you have already decided, I have nothing to say. As long as you’re willing, we’ll support you.”

Qiao Xi picked up the small knife on the table and cut her wrist, causing blood to gush out bit by bit.

…

At this moment, Xue Liang’s face was full of heartache. “Little Six ultimately decided to use her blood to save him, but…”

Qin An, who usually talked non-stop, suddenly fell silent. He had been learning medicine from his grandfather for many years. He knew how his grandfather had regretted not saving Eldest Miss Lu. His grandfather had watched helplessly as she died from the poison.

As a miracle doctor, his grandfather was revered by the world, but he couldn’t save that woman, so he spent his days in guilt.

Due to a stranger who had no family or friends, the latter half of his grandfather’s life was greatly affected. If Qiao Xi didn’t save Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng died from the poison, Little Six would forever live in pain.

Qin An prayed in his heart, hoping that Gu Zheng would wake up and live a peaceful life without illness or calamity.

Shen Yu looked at his younger brothers and said calmly, “If Gu Zheng hadn’t used his body to protect Little Six, Little Six would probably be seriously injured right now. Therefore, it’s reasonable for Little Six to decide to save him. Moreover, they’re husband and wife. If Little Six can only watch as her husband’s poison relapses and lives in pain, she might as well take a gamble.”
