She was grateful for Ding Jiayi's dislike for her during her childhood, sparing her from this misery.
She could not imagine how her life would turn out if the one that Ding Jiayi had favored then was her, and if she had been the one brought up in this manner by Ding Jiayi.
Killing a child by supporting him—was Ding Jiayi going to go to the ends of the world to prove this?
Perhaps, between Zijin and her, the truly unfortunate one was not her, but Zijin."Dad, I'm suddenly not bitter anymore. I'm not bitter at all. I was the one who was favored. If Qiao Zijin wakes up and can truly differentiate right from wrong, I think that this is quite a cruel thing to do to Qiao Zijin. She's much more pitiful than me."
Qiao Nan could not even stand the thought of being in Qiao Zijin's place. Would she be able to live Qiao Zijin's life? Moreover, Qiao Zijin was the one who was truly living such a life.
Perhaps, meeting Ding Jiayi was the greatest tragedy in both of their lives.
As she thought about it, Qiao Nan sighed. Now, there was no hatred or resentment, or even disgust toward Qiao Zijin. She truly pitied Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Dongliang was stunned. He had never expected Qiao Nan to say such things at such a moment. She even said that she pitied Qiao Zijin! "Nan Nan, what's the matter with you? Why are you suddenly saying these things?"
If Nan Nan was really no longer resentful of Zijin, did not want to pursue the previous matter with Zijin, and was even willing to help Zijin until she was discharged, Qiao Dongliang would really have to thank the heavens. Nan Nan was a kind soul after all. But now that Qiao Nan no longer hated Qiao Zijin, and even softened her attitude toward Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang was not especially happy. On the contrary, he was scared by such a reaction.
He could not understand how Qiao Nan could not get angry even after Qiao Zijin had done so many heinous acts. Favored? Between Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin, there was no way Qiao Nan was the favored child.
Even if Qiao Dongliang was not touching his heart and swearing against it, he still could not bring himself to tell such a lie.
"Nothing much." Seeing that Qiao Dongliang was unable to understand the meaning behind her words, Qiao Nan did not want to explain it either. Now that Qiao Nan had forgiven Qiao Zijin, and even pitied Qiao Zijin, her gaze toward Ding Jiayi changed from one of calmness to one filled with indifference. As long as both Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were alive, the struggle between the two of them would never cease. They would simply continue to hurt each other while facing retribution for it until they died.
Fortunately, she had removed herself from this bizarre circle a long time ago. Now, she had a happy life of her own.
"Are you the patient's family members?"
At this moment, a nurse who had been trying to save Qiao Zijin emerged from the operating theatre with bloodied hands."If you are, please hurry along with me to get your blood tested. We don't have a sufficient stock of the patient's blood type in our hospital, but our surgery is still ongoing. If we can't do a blood transfusion for the patient, I'm afraid..."
"I'm her dad."
"I'm... I'm her..." Did they not say that she was in no danger?
Qiao Nan stood forward."The three of us can go get our blood tested. Can you tell us if the situation is serious? The doctor told me earlier that her condition was stable."
The nurse gasped and led the way."All right, then come with me. We've never had such an uncooperative patient. Since she got into a car accident, there are signs of minor fractures in various parts of her body. Normally, such patients would be in such great pain that they wouldn't have any energy to fool around. But your family member is really strange. She still has the energy to fight back against us. She refuses to let the surgeons operate on her and insists on dying instead."
This was the biggest news of the year.
Qiao Nan frowned and saw that Ding Jiayi's expression had changed because of the nurse's words."Shouldn't she be put under general anesthesia to go for surgery?" Qiao Zijin had been in a car accident. She would definitely have sustained multiple injuries all over her body. If she was not under general anesthesia, there was probably no way they could carry on with a surgery anyway.
At the mention of this, the nurse became even angrier."Is your family member immune to anesthesia?" Even after the entire dosage of anesthesia had been administered, the patient still retained movement in her limbs. If it was not for this reason, this surgery would not have dragged on for so long such that there was an insufficient stock of blood!
The patient had no will to survive, but as doctors, they could not possibly abandon their patient on the operation table and leave her to die. A routine operation had become the most arduous task of the entire year! As such, the atmosphere in the operation theatre was terrible. It was even more somber than that of surgeries that were several times harder.
After the blood tests were conducted, both Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan were approved to donate their blood. Ding Jiayi was not.
With a life at stake, Qiao Nan put aside her grudges and lifted up her sleeve to allow the nurse to draw three hundred milliliters of her blood. Qiao Dongliang was a man and stronger than Qiao Nan, so he let the nurse draw four hundred milliliters at once.
After the blood donation, both Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang's expressions changed slightly.
"Dad, drink more water for now. Once Zhai Sheng comes, there should be food for us." After donating her blood, Qiao Nan always felt that her mouth was extremely parched and she could hardly open her mouth. She gulped down the remaining half bottle of water from earlier. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝙣o𝘷𝗲𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
"Okay." Qiao Dongliang had a similar feeling. He did not even wait for Qiao Nan to instruct him and simply took his bottle for a drink.
Ding Jiayi hung her head and passed her half-empty bottle of water to Qiao Dongliang."I still have some. Do you want it?"
Qiao Dongliang eyed Ding Jiayi coldly."Nan Nan, do you still want some water? Shall I go get two bottles of water?" Would he really drink from the bottle that Ding Jiayi had touched? The biggest mistake in his entire life was allowing Ding Jiayi to raise his two daughters. For something as small as drinking water, he would much rather go thirsty than drink from the same bottle as Ding Jiayi.
Moreover, this was no desert. If he wanted to drink some water, there would definitely be another way. He would even go to the toilet to drink water from the tap rather than take anything from Ding Jiayi.
"I'll go instead." Qiao Nan shook her head. She no longer felt hate or resentment, but it was impossible for her to get along with Ding Jiayi or Qiao Zijin. She had put it behind her, but these two definitely had not. Even if she did not provoke them, they would take the initiative and attack her.
It was just a matter of a few steps. Qiao Nan would rather Qiao Dongliang stay behind than face Ding Jiayi alone.
Even though Ding Jiayi looked rather earnest now, who knew what she would say to Qiao Nan once Qiao Dongliang left? She might even do something to Qiao Nan! But Qiao Nan was too tired to even guess what she might do.
