Chapter 1274 Life's Gamble

Seeing Chen Yutong's silence, Shen Xiangxue suddenly realized what she had asked. After all, Chen Yutong was now Zhan Mohan's sister-in-law, and such a question would only embarrass her. "I'm sorry, I just..." Shen Xiangxue quickly apologized. But to her surprise, Chen Yutong turned to her and nodded, "You're right, I did like him in the past, and I cared about him. So even though I'm married to Yang Yi now, my concern and care for him have become a habit."

Shen Xiangxue was slightly stunned to hear this. She couldn't imagine what had happened to make Chen Yutong accept another man. After all, she herself couldn't get over her feelings for Zhan Mohan. Although she seemed to have let go on the surface, that person was always in her heart. "However, even so, I am very clear now who I love," Chen Yutong said, a happy smile on her face. "Although we had quite a few conflicts at the beginning, getting along with each other is a process of integration. When I realized it, my heart was full of him."

As they were talking, Zhan Yangyi happened to walk over from the other side. "What are you talking about?" Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi with a happy expression. "We're talking about you." Zhan Yangyi was a bit confused. "What's there to talk about me?" Shen Xiangxue also said with a smile, "That you're a good husband, and Yutong loves you very much." Zhan Yangyi chuckled. "Well, I've known that for a long time."

Shen Xiangxue looked at the two of them, feeling incredibly envious. But when she thought of her fiancé, Chai Yanyu, and Chai Yanyu's perpetually cold face, she couldn't help but hold her forehead. She always felt that her future was truly dark. "Alright, I won't disturb you two anymore. I'll go back and check on Yu Meng's condition." Shen Xiangxue finished speaking and turned to walk towards Wei Yumeng's hospital room. Although she also wanted to check on Zhan Mohan's condition, considering her current situation, she ultimately restrained herself.

But when she reached the door of Wei Yumeng's hospital room, she found Chai Yanyu already there, with an elderly man who looked like a butler by his side. "Her condition is like this. She needs more careful care during this period." Chai Yanyu spoke while thinking, as if he was considering if anything had been missed. The old man smiled. "Young Master, please don't worry. I will create a personalized nutritional supplement menu based on her physical condition." Chai Yanyu nodded. "Yes, thank you for your trouble."

Shen Xiangxue walked towards the two of them. "A'yu, who is this?" Chai Yanyu introduced. "This is Master Ren, our family's former nutritionist. Although he no longer works for us, his abilities are internationally recognized." Shen Xiangxue nodded, seeing that Chai Yanyu had specifically hired a nutritionist for Wei Yumeng. Master Ren looked kind and amiable, which made Shen Xiangxue involuntarily compare him to the ill-tempered Dr. Vincent. It really was a case of 'comparing people to death'. "Xiangxue, from now on, Mr. Ren will help you take care of Yu Meng's life. You should listen to him more," Chai Yanyu instructed. "Got it." After saying this, Chai Yanyu glanced at the hospital room door again and then prepared to leave.

Shen Xiangxue called out to him. "Aren't you going to see her? She's asleep now; she should be fine." Chai Yanyu just shook his head. "I have other things to do. I'll leave the rest to you." With that, he strode out of the hospital. Shen Xiangxue could only sigh and then entered the ward with Master Ren. With Master Ren's help, a very comprehensive diet and schedule was created for Wei Yumeng, even specifying when and for how long she needed to sunbathe.

Wei Yumeng naturally noticed the changes, especially in her diet. "Xiangxue, the food lately seems more refined," Wei Yumeng said as she ate. Shen Xiangxue smiled. "We found a nutritionist for you. He has customized a diet plan based on your condition. It's for the good of you and the baby." Wei Yumeng nodded, but the sense of unease in her heart reappeared. Although it sounded reasonable at first glance, Wei Yumeng felt that this was not something Shen Xiangxue would do. "Has there been any news from Mohan?" Wei Yumeng continued to ask. "This..."

Dr. Vincent looked at Zhan Mohan's condition, his brow furrowed. Although their previous test results had indicated that Zhan Mohan would have severe side effects from the previous treatment, the side effects now seemed even greater than expected. Zhan Mohan lay on the hospital bed, looking extremely pained. His lips were pale, and he could feel unbearable pain from within his body, as if countless needles were piercing his internal organs. Vincent had already administered emergency treatment, but the effect was not very significant.

"There's no other way. We have to move the surgery time forward. Otherwise, he won't last until tomorrow at this rate." "But, we haven't collected enough blood yet," Zhan Yangyi said anxiously. "Under these circumstances, performing surgery..." "If we don't, he might not survive today!" Vincent said loudly to Zhan Yangyi. "If you want to save him, we have to take a gamble!" Zhan Yangyi looked at Zhan Mohan's state and clenched his fist. A gamble? But how could he gamble with someone's life? Yet, what else could he do?

Just then, an aged voice came from the hospital room door. "What if we add mine?" Old Master Zhan walked over to them with a solemn expression. "If my blood is added, is it enough?" "Grandpa..." Zhan Yangyi looked distressed. Vincent sized up Old Master Zhan and then said to a nearby nurse, "Go and examine him. If there are no problems, arrange for blood extraction." "Okay." The nurse immediately went to do it. Zhan Yangyi wanted to say something more, but seeing Old Master Zhan's determined expression, he ultimately couldn't utter a word. This was Zhan Mohan's last hope.

Under Vincent's arrangements, Zhan Mohan was quickly rushed into the operating room. Zhan Yangyi was worried about Zhan Mohan's condition and also about Old Master Zhan. Both were his relatives. At this moment, an elderly gentleman who looked like a butler walked up to Zhan Yangyi. "Are you Mr. Zhan Yangyi?" Zhan Yangyi looked confused but nodded. "Yes, I am. Is there something you need?" "I'm just here to tell you that Old Zhan is still quite healthy. Even if his blood is drawn, with my care, he should be fine..." "You know my grandfather?"
