Chapter 630: Chapter 627: Ming Yao Grows Suspicious

Despite being a woman of worldly experience, the panic-stricken Luminous Pearl soon calmed down.

She looked at the nurse with furrowed brows and said, "Why are you asking us? This is a hospital; you should have a sufficient supply of O-type blood!"

"Direct relatives can’t give blood to each other, otherwise, it will trigger a series of complications, with a very high mortality rate!"

The nurse looked oddly at Luminous Pearl, "I didn’t ask you to donate blood directly. The situation is urgent now, and even with direct relatives, we can use X-rays to destroy the immunologically active lymphocytes in the blood!"

Luminous Pearl’s hands hung by her side tightened, she said with a pale face, "Chunie’s blood type is the same as her dad’s."

The implication was that her blood type didn’t match Chunie’s.

Gong Siting had a rare blood type, which was even more incompatible with Ye Chuner’s.

Fortunately, the hospital’s Blood Bank Center made a call and got in touch with another hospital.

After the nurse took the bag of blood into the operating room, she muttered softly, "I’ve never seen that kind of mother."

Ming Yao, who was operating on Ye Chuner, glanced at the young nurse, "What’s the matter?"

"This little girl’s mother, when she heard that she needed to donate blood, was so nervous that it seemed like it was her life on the line."

Ming Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Their blood types are different?"

"She said the little girl’s blood type is the same as her dad’s!"

Ming Yao looked down at the unconscious Ye Chuner, recalling how earlier when she cut open her clothes, she saw a small red mole above her chest, identical to Yuci’s. Doubts inevitably crept into her heart.

However, the most important thing right now was to save Ye Chuner’s life.

Ming Yao concentrated and focused on the surgery.

Two hours later, the red light of the operating room finally turned off.

The doors of the operating room opened, and Ming Yao and the other medical staff walked out.

Luminous Pearl quickly approached, "How is my daughter?"

Ming Yao pulled down her mask, "The surgery went smoothly, but she needs to be observed in the ICU for twenty-four hours."

Upon hearing this, Luminous Pearl breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, her expression changed dramatically, and she stared at Ming Yao with sharp eyes, "It’s all your fault! My daughter was fine, how could she possibly get into a car accident?"

Concentrating on a surgery for over two hours was certainly exhausting.

Ming Yao was visibly tired at this moment, and upon hearing Luminous Pearl’s words, a trace of sarcasm curved at her lips, "Luminous Pearl, using your own daughter as a pawn, do you have the face to question me?"

"Ming Yao, you’re a jinx, a vixen," Luminous Pearl raised her hand to fiercely slap Ming Yao across the face.

But the next second, a long and powerful hand reached out and forcefully grabbed Luminous Pearl’s wrist.

A deep and chilly voice resounded above her head, "Try laying a finger on her and see what happens."

Ming Yao knew that with Gu Siting present, Luminous Pearl couldn’t hurt her, so there was no fluctuation of emotion on her face.

Luminous Pearl’s wrist felt like it was about to be crushed by Gu Siting’s powerful grasp.

Her eyes brimmed with pain and quickly reddened.

"To turn Ye Chuner into that mess, are you harming her under the guise of loving her? If you can’t teach her properly, I’ll find someone else to in the future. There’s no need for you to take her with you anymore!"

Luminous Pearl trembled vehemently.

She widened her eyes, incredulously staring at Gu Siting.

What did he say?

He wanted to take away her only daughter for the sake of Ming Yao?

Even if he’s the President, he doesn’t have that right!

"Gong Siting, I think it’s you who’s been utterly bewitched by that vixen!"

Gu Siting pushed Luminous Pearl away with force, "Try talking nonsense one more time?"

Luminous Pearl was so intimidated by Gu Siting’s commanding aura that her face went deathly pale; she clenched her teeth and didn’t dare utter another word.

Ming Yao glanced at Luminous Pearl with complex emotions and said nothing; she changed out of her surgical scrubs and entered the office.

Gu Siting followed Ming Yao into her office.

Ming Yao picked up her thermos and took a sip of water, and then a pair of strong and slender arms wrapped around her from behind.

The man’s solid and toned chest pressed tightly against her delicate back.

"Don’t take what Luminous Pearl said to heart."

Ming Yao felt somewhat weary; she leaned her weight back onto the man and looked up at him, "Is it really worth causing a rift with your family for my sake?"

"I will restore your family’s reputation as soon as I can, even if it means I’ll no longer be the President in the future."

If the incidents involving the Gong Family and the Shangguan Family from the past were to be revealed, the Gong Family might end up being pointed at by thousands of people.

Ming Yao lowered her long lashes; she placed her fingers on the back of the man’s hand, "Let me think about this matter a bit more."

She was well aware of his kindness toward her.

She couldn’t completely disregard his feelings either.

Love is mutual.

She couldn’t just let him keep giving without reciprocation.

But at the moment, what troubled her the most was Ye Chuner.

Why was the little red birthmark above Ye Chuner’s chest identical to Yuci’s?

In the following days, Ming Yao observed Ye Chuner in secret.

Ye Chuner had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the VIP ward.

She was very resistant to Ming Yao, unwilling to have Ming Yao be her primary physician; not wanting to aggravate a still-injured little girl, Ming Yao switched to another doctor for her.

Ming Yao didn’t appear in Ye Chuner’s room again, but according to her secret observations, the child had some eating habits that were very much like Yuci’s.

For example, Yuci liked to drink porridge without adding anything into it, preferring plain white porridge, and Ye Chuner was the same; one day Luminous Pearl brought over a bowl of bone soup porridge, and she refused to drink a single sip.

And Luminous Pearl, being Ye Chuner’s mother, didn’t even seem to know her own child’s preferences, which showed that she didn’t really care much about her child’s daily meals and living habits.

Another example: Ye Chuner liked to sleep with a cloth doll; Ming Yao remembered Yuci telling her that she felt particularly insecure during her pregnancy and would sleep holding a doll every night.

Ming Yao took out her phone and called Jing Hang.

"Help me investigate something."

Jing Hang was swift to act; three days later, he brought the information Ming Yao needed.

Ming Yao took the information and returned to the villa.

Little Orange went into the study when she saw Mommy come back; she carried a plate of fruit into the study.

"Mommy, what’s wrong? You don’t seem too happy!"

Little Orange put the fruit on the table and saw a photo sticking out of the dossier bag; she picked it up and took a look.

"Huh, isn’t this that fairy sister? Fairy sister is really pretty, it’s just that she has an annoying personality, too bad I thought she looked like Godmother Ci Ci!"

The information Jing Hang had investigated was about the hospital where Yuci had given birth.

Nothing unusual could be discerned from the information, however, coincidentally, Luminous Pearl had also given birth in that same hospital.
