Returning the blood
Returning the blood
Ning Chun’s face was bruised, and his hands were covered in cuts. At this time, the blood had already
dried up. He clenched his fists instinctively. Although the injuries were not serious, they were not
without pain. Nevertheless, he smiled and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine. They’re just superficial wounds…”
Song Ning asked, “You weren’t riding in the same car?”
Ning Chun nodded. A hint of frustration could be seen on his face as he said in a low voice, “That’s
right. Master wanted me to deal with other matters so I left just a little later. In fact, I witnessed the
accident…”
“It’s an accident; there’s no need for you to blame yourself. Find a nurse and get yourself treated. I’m
going back to the office,” Song Ning said before she calmly walked toward the elevator.
“Ning Xia,” Su Tong called out softly at this moment.
Song Ning stopped for a brief moment but did not turn back.
“Thank you,” Su Tong said in a trembling voice.
“I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to save lives and help the injured. It’s not a big deal to donate blood,” Song
Ning calmly replied.
Ning Dong walked two steps forward and said sincerely, “Sister, thank you for saving father.”
Song Ning still did not turn around. Her voice was slightly frosty as she said, “He’s your father, not
mine.” Following that, she continued walking.
When the elevator doors opened, a tall figure suddenly rushed out. He hugged Song Ning and said
indignantly, “You donated blood without my knowledge again!” Despite the indignance in his tone, his
affection and care were obvious.
When Mu Chen looked up, he was briefly stunned when he saw Su Tong, Ning Dong, and Ning Chun.
He lowered his head and saw Song Ning’s pale face.
Song Ning said softly, “I’m hungry and tired…”
“Alright, alright. Let’s eat. I’ll carry you, okay?” Mu Chen said tenderly as he bent down to carry Song
Ning.
Song Ning hurriedly swatted his arm and said, “What are you doing? We’re at the hospital. I’m fine.”
After Mu Chen straightened his back, he solemnly said, “Look at your face. It’s almost as white as a
piece of paper. Can you walk? Why don’t you let me carry you?”
Song Ning avoided his hands, afraid he would do something embarrassing. Then, she hastily said, “I’m
fine. I can walk; there’s no need for you to carry me.”
When the elevator doors opened again, Song Ning hurriedly pulled Mu Chen into the elevator.
At this moment, Mu Chen only had Song Ning in his eyes. His care and worries were all written on his
face. He looked at her as though she was as fragile as porcelain.
…
At night.
Song Ning lay in Mu Chen’s arms. She felt exhausted. In fact, she had never felt so exhausted before. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She was used to donating blood; it was a common thing for her. Even if she donated blood twice a
month, it was not a problem for her. In her opinion, she was young so she would recover quickly as
long as she took care of herself. However, she had no idea why she was so tired this time.
Mu Chen hugged her and stroked her slender back, seemingly lost in his thoughts. After a moment, as
though he could no longer endure it, he suddenly sat up and looked at Song Ning solemnly. “Song
Ning, you have to promise me something!”
Song Ning looked at him in confusion.
He continued to say, “You can’t donate blood so frequently in the future. I know you want to save
people’s lives, but you have to consider your health as well, right? I’ll ask Cheng Che to look for blood
donors tomorrow. I arrange special transportations for the donors to take them to the hospital if there’s
a need for it. I guarantee it’ll be more efficient than you having to personally donate your blood, okay?”
Song Ning smiled. She reached out and touched Mu Chen’s hair as she said, “You’re overreacting
again. Why do you always use money to solve everything? The blood donors have registered in the
hospital. If there’s a need, the hospital will contact them. They’d be brought to the hospital immediately.
Everyone has a common understanding; we’re all humans and we have to help each other. In any
case, today’s situation was a little special. Since the blood needed is rare and time is of the essence,
they looked for me first since I was in the hospital…”
Mu Chen said stubbornly like a child, “I don’t want to listen to your explanation. I can’t just watch you
risk your health as you save others. My heart aches!”
Song Ning remained quiet. She knew words were useless at this time. She leaned forward and gently
kissed Mu Chen’s lips.
Mu Chen felt even more distressed when he felt Song Ning’s lips were slightly cold. He pulled away
from the kiss and continued to hug her and pat her back.
Song Ning found a comfortable spot and nestled in his arms as she asked in a soft voice, “Mu Chen,
have you heard of the story about Nezha returning his blood, flesh, and bones to his parents in
repayment for the debt of his birth?”
Mu Chen’s hand that was patting her back stilled briefly.
Song Ning continued to speak in a soft voice. It was as though she was talking to herself. “I know you
think I risked my health today. However, I can’t help thinking that since he gave me life, I’ll return the
favor by returning his blood to him. In fact, I feel rather happy that I was given this chance. Mu Chen, I
don’t want to owe him anything at all. Although I can refuse his assets and everything else, there’s no
doubt that I owe him my life. What I donated today is nothing compared to the fact that he gave me life.
However, it’s still a way for me to repay him for giving me life… I think it’s worth it…”
Mu Chen felt even more distressed upon hearing these words. On top of having donated blood twice in
a month, he could tell her mood was not very good today because of the knot in her heart..
