Luo Ying grabbed her phone from the bedside and dialed Jiang Ming’s number.

Jiang Ming was on duty. He saw the incoming call and furrowed his brow. He had a bad feeling about it.

He entered Luo Ying’s ward and pushed the door open, only to be startled by the scene before him.

Luo Ying leaned against the headboard. Her face was deathly pale. In such a short period of time, she had become so worn-out.

“Dr. Jiang, I need your help,” Luo Ying managed to force a smile.

Jiang Ming looked at her with concern. Ever since Luo Ying started donating blood to Lu Zhao, he knew this day would come.

The blood volume in Luo Ying’s body had significantly dropped below that of an average adult. Because of her unique blood type, blood transfusion was not an option for replenishment.

Her body had reached its limit. Her physical strength would plummet like a cliff, putting her life in imminent danger.

He gazed at the woman in front of him with aching heart.

Since the first time he laid eyes on Luo Ying, he had been captivated by her.

She was radiant, charming, and poised.

He knew that she and Lu Zhao were inseparable. Luo Ying was even willing to sacrifice her health and even her life to save Lu Zhao. He didn’t want to be a homewrecker, so he dared not have any other thoughts.

When he saw her in such a haggard state, he couldn’t help but feel heartache.

He furrowed his brow. “Your physical condition no longer allows you to donate blood. You must stop immediately.”

Luo Ying smiled bitterly. “No, there are only two months left. I can’t let all my efforts go to waste.”

“Lu Zhao’s life is important, but isn’t your life important too? You feel sorry for Lu Zhao, but don’t you think I feel sorry for you?” Jiang Ming suddenly raised his voice.

His sudden outburst startled both of them. Luo Ying clearly didn’t expect him to say that.

Jiang Ming realized he had lost his composure. He ran his fingers through his hair and took a seat on a chair before apologizing.

Given the urgency of the situation, Luo Ying wasn’t in the mood to delve into what he had just said. The most important thing for her now was to dispel Lu Zhao’s doubts.

“Is there any medication that can quickly restore my physical strength in the short term and make me appear like a normal person? As long as it can sustain me for two months,” Luo Ying asked, seeking Jiang Ming’s guidance. She knew he would surely have a solution.

Jiang Ming sighed helplessly. “Your blood type is highly unique, so blood transfusion is out of the question. If you want to present the illusion that you’re in picture-perfect health, we can only inject a high concentration of human serum albumin and a certain dose of stimulants. This will give you a temporarily refreshed appearance.”

“Great! That’s it!” Luo Ying exclaimed excitedly upon hearing that there was a solution.

“But…” Jiang Ming slowly raised his head. “The damage to your body will be evident, and it may even lead to acute cardiac failure.”

The light in Luo Ying’s eyes slowly dimmed. Since the moment she decided to save Lu Zhao, she knew this day would come. But she couldn’t bear to let that man die from the poison.

“That’s enough for now. Let’s deal with these two months first. We can address the rest later.”

Jiang Ming nodded jerkily.

Outside the hospital, Shen Lan hurriedly walked with a pastry in hand. She wanted to deliver it to Luo Ying as the doctor had mentioned her low blood sugar and the need for a sugar boost in her diet.

However, a figure blocked her path.

The woman in front of her wore sunglasses and a high-slit dress. She exuded an assertive aura.

Shen Lan had no intention of lingering and tried to continue walking, but the woman stopped her.

“Stop right there,” the woman commanded.

Shen Lan took a closer look and finally recognized her as Xia Na, the woman who claimed to be Shen Xiu’s fiancée.

She had to admit that Xia Na was quickwitted. After just one encounter, she could sense that Shen Xiu treated Shen Lan differently. They were definitely not just uncle and niece.

“Miss Xia, what can I do for you?” Shen Lan asked. She failed to keep the

annoyance from her tone because she was in a rush to get to the hospital.

Xia Na took off her sunglasses and stared directly at Shen Lan.

“As far as I know, you and Shen Xiu are not blood-related, right? Shen Xiu was adopted by your grandfather.”

It was only Xia Na’s second day here, yet she managed to uncover such a hidden secret. Shen Lan couldn’t help but gasp. Xia Na’s connections ran deep.

However, she maintained a calm expression on the surface.

“Miss Xia, do you have a penchant for prying into other people’s privacy? Uncle hates it when people do such things in secret.”

Panic filled Xia Na’s eyes. Indeed, she was the one who conducted the investigation behind Shen Xiu’s back. She didn’t know if it would upset him.

“Regardless, I am his fiancée. I have the right…”

Before Xia Na could finish her sentence, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.

“You seem quite confident, don’t you?”
