At the door of Qiu Mowen's house, Qiu Ruolan did not knock; she directly opened the door with a key.
Qiu Mowen was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at his Medical Record. The doctor had told him that given his current condition, he could no longer be treated with surgery.
The cancer cells had already spread, and he could only undergo a Bone Marrow transplant.
Whether he could find a suitable Bone Marrow donor, when he would find one, and whether he would survive after the Bone Marrow Transplant were all unknowns.
As he was lost in thought, Qiu Ruolan used her key to unlock the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qiu Mowen was still in shock when Qiu Ruolan appeared in front of him.
He suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face filled with astonishment. He raised his hand to rub his temples, let out a gentle sigh, and then suddenly panicked, stuffing various bottles and a pile of papers from the table into a large paper bag.
"Oh, there's a secret!" In fact, Qiu Ruolan herself couldn't understand why she hadn't knocked but had just opened the door directly.
"You... what are you doing here?" Qiu Mowen asked Qiu Ruolan stutteringly while holding the large paper bag.
Qiu Ruolan suppressed her emotions to calm herself down and then presented her appearance as just an occasional visit. She hid a large bag full of clothes behind her and smiled, "I'm part of a surprise team; let me check if there are any suspicious individuals hiding in your house!"
Her lips twitched a few times, but she ultimately did not reveal Autumn Wind's identity.
Qiu Mowen glanced at the bag behind Qiu Ruolan and realized she was in trouble.
He shrugged and said, "Alright, you do as you please..." as he walked toward the study.
As it happened, it started to rain at that moment, so Qiu Ruolan naturally decided to stay overnight.
Until the next morning, Qiu Mowen was awakened by a phone call from Liu Jian. On the phone, Liu Jian informed Qiu Mowen of all the information from the Newspaper, and only then did Qiu Mowen suddenly realize the true reason for Qiu Ruolan's unexpected visit last night.
He lowered his voice and asked Liu Jian about Autumn Wind's situation, "What was Autumn Wind's reaction...," and then opened his computer.
Suddenly, there was no sound from Liu Jian's side. He called out loudly for Liu Jian but heard Liu Jian's cries for help: "Autumn Wind, what's wrong? Wake up! Call 119!"
Something happened to Autumn Wind?
When Qiu Mowen changed his clothes and rushed to the living room, Qiu Ruolan had just finished making breakfast. She quickly read the fearful information from Qiu Mowen's panic: "Do you know something?" she asked with difficulty, biting her lower lip.
Qiu Mowen shook his head. Although he tried to appear relaxed, some of his true feelings were hard to hide. After thinking for a moment, he told Qiu Ruolan, "I need to step out for a bit. Just now, Jaes called; it seems something happened to Autumn Wind, so I have to..."
After that, he no longer had the courage to look at Qiu Ruolan's face and walked straight out of the house.
As he passed by a newsstand, he casually bought a copy of the Newspaper. Sure enough, there was an entire page dedicated to Qiu Ruolan in AG Daily. When he saw the byline "ilsn," Qiu Mowen almost cursed.
Qiu Mowen first rushed to Liu Jian's apartment. From a distance, he spotted paparazzi lurking around.
He called Liu Jian and learned that Liu Jian had already taken Autumn Wind to the hospital. In a hurry, he drove towards the hospital.
Fortunately, Autumn Wind was not seriously injured. During Autumn Wind's unconsciousness, he quickly discussed a plan with Liu Jian: "I'll help you pack things up. By the way, my place in Dazhi is empty; you can take Autumn Wind there later!"
He held the room key that Liu Jian handed him and continued, "For safety's sake, don't go back to your place yet. I noticed that there are paparazzi waiting outside your apartment on my way here!"
At this moment, Qiu Mowen's hatred for the reporters had reached a boiling point. If he encountered Ilsn, he would definitely give that morally corrupt guy a good beating.
With the help of Manager Uncle, Qiu Mowen quickly returned to Liu Jian Apartment to pack some personal belongings.
When he returned to the hospital, Ilsn's call unexpectedly came in. Qiu Mowen suppressed his emotions and said, "Ilsn the reporter, what do you want?"
Ilsn naturally sensed Qiu Mowen's displeasure but held back and simply said, "We are heading to the hospital; you better leave there quickly!" After that, Ilsn hung up the phone quickly. Qiu Mowen couldn't help but sneer at the darkened screen.
...
After a busy day, when Qiu Mowen finally shook off the reporters and returned home, Qiu Ruolan was already asleep.
The room was spotless, and Qiu Mowen knew that Qiu Ruolan must have spent the day on the edge of collapse.
Next to the vase on the table were several faint marks; Qiu Ruolan must have moved it many times before deciding where to place it.
A flash of lightning suddenly struck his mind. He rushed into the study, which had already been organized by Qiu Ruolan like a library ready for an exhibition.
He frantically opened the drawer and let out a long breath. Fortunately, he did not find the medicine bottles and medical records he had hidden in a bag; he slumped against the desk.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of warmth pass over his neck, followed by two long, fair arms gently wrapping around him. Then, Qiu Ruolan's choked voice came through: "Why... why didn't you tell me... why?!"
He was taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure and pretended to be clueless: "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all! Are you tired from doing housework?"
Qiu Ruolan pulled a bag out of the drawer and scattered its contents all over the floor: "What is this? Tell me what this is...!"
Qiu Mowen's illness completely broke the emotional dam she had been struggling to maintain. She crouched on the ground, painfully hugging her knees, burying her head in them: "I don't want you to die, I don't want!"
Years of tears poured out in an instant, drowning all the noise around her.
For a long time afterward, Qiu Ruolan began frantically searching online for everything related to "Leukemia." She didn't dare to call her medical friends for advice; she silently prayed for the storm to pass quickly. She wanted to go out; she didn't want Qiu Mowen to die.
Liu Jiajia called her, relaying the agency's message, hoping she would hide for a while until the storm subsided. Everything would return to normal, and then Qiu Ruolan could reappear before everyone.
As for the information in the news, the agency stated that as long as Qiu Ruolan was willing to explain, they would arrange a press conference.
Upon hearing about the press conference, Qiu Ruolan felt faint again. Even she began to doubt Autumn Wind's identity.
The reason Qiu Ruolan doubted Autumn Wind's identity was due to the internet.
In her recent searches online about "Leukemia," she accidentally came across a shocking piece of news: a certain female star had given birth to a baby girl through induction at a hospital in Taiwan 17 years ago, and the baby girl had actually survived.
Words like induction, baby girl, and survival pierced through her heart like arrows.
Guan Xiu's indescribable face suddenly floated before her eyes. Although so many years had passed, Guan Xiu's face was still so clear in her memory.
She recalled that year when she returned to mainland China to find Guan Xiu, the joy on Guan Xiu's face, calculating how old Autumn Wind would have been at that time...
Oh no, Qiu Ruolan broke into a cold sweat. Could this be Guan Xiu's: the only proof that we loved each other? Please make sure to protect her.
To her left was a photo of herself and Autumn Wind that Qiu Mowen had placed there that morning. As her gaze swept over it slightly, she was stunned for a moment by Autumn Wind's small face and then couldn't help but become overwhelmed with excitement.
She almost rushed in front of Qiu Mowen, incoherently sharing this significant discovery with him.
Her face revealed a hint of joyful anticipation. "Darling, I need a paternity test. You have to know that my child might not have died at that time; she was picked up by Guan Xiu and then returned to me. You need to help me find Autumn Wind's hair!"
Qiu Mowen looked up to see Qiu Ruolan, who seemed ready to jump out of the house, her eyes sparkling with erratic light.
In fact, when Qiu Mowen first met Autumn Wind, he had similar suspicions, especially when Grandma compared photos of Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind; they looked almost identical. However, this guess was quickly dismissed.
The reason was simple: Qiu Ruolan had blood type AB, while Autumn Wind had a different type. No matter what blood type Guan Xiu had, Qiu Ruolan could not have given birth to a child with that blood type.
Qiu Mowen didn't want to complicate things regarding Guan Xiu. He preferred to believe that Guan Xiu found an abandoned baby outside the delivery room and mistakenly thought she was her own child.
"Listen," he pulled out a chair, reached for his tie, loosened it slightly, and then sat down slowly, moving gracefully like a young nobleman in a movie.
"If her blood doesn't carry your bloodline, would you not love her? If she truly is your biological daughter, how would you explain everything that happened back then? Listen, no matter what, it won't affect your relationship with Autumn Wind; you are honored to have been part of her growth. Please don't make this too complicated!"
Clearly, Qiu Ruolan did not hear his words. She looked at Qiu Mowen with pleading eyes, which gradually became emptier and dimmer until they lost their light completely, her face resembling ashes.
Qiu Mowen couldn't stand this sight any longer. "Alright, I'll go get Autumn Wind's hair!"
Getting Autumn Wind's hair wasn't difficult at all; Liu Jian quickly provided numerous strands of hair from Autumn Wind.
Faced with these strands, Qiu Mowen felt conflicted. Should he really go through with it?
Although he had already dismissed the relationship between Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan based on blood types, there were always unexpected factors, such as Autumn Wind having undergone a Bone Marrow Transplant.
But if the two really have a blood relationship, then his connection with Autumn Wind would indeed become a twisted fate, and he would have truly done something unforgivable to his sister.
That sense of sin and guilt began to slowly spread throughout his entire heart.
No...
Thinking of this, Qiu Mowen loosened his grip and let his hair fall.
The hair floated away lightly as he rested his hands on the steering wheel, feeling conflicted. At that moment, Qiu Ruolan's phone call unexpectedly came through.
On the other end of the line, Qiu Ruolan's voice was very anxious: "Hello, is there any result? What does it say?"
He had never seen Qiu Ruolan so anxious; she was breathing heavily, as if she had just finished a triathlon or some other intense activity.
"Have some common sense, okay? The results come out in a week!" Qiu Mowen lied. Sigh, he should find a woman whose hair has no connection to Qiu Ruolan for matching...
