Chapter 7 — I Give Up Everything, Always Give Up My Fiance, Never Give Up My Life

People from the Tham family and the Marquis Palace came loudly, surrounding Ta Doan Hanh's luxurious carriage, stopping in front of the gate of my simple village. Ta Doan Hanh got out of the car, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like he could cry. As soon as he saw me coming out, the first thing he said was:

"Tham Dieu, Nhuoc Ninh is not going to survive."

"The doctor said that only the blood and heart of a biological woman can be used as a medicine to save her life."

Behind him, my parents were crying bitterly.

“Dieu Dieu.”

“My child.”

“Save your sister.”

“Save Nhuoc Ninh.”

Tham Nguy also stepped forward, his voice hoarse, carrying an unprecedented heaviness: "Dieu Dieu, Nhuoc Ninh... she's not going to survive." My heart suddenly sank. It's here, it's finally here, it seems a little earlier than in the previous life. I tried to keep my composure, pretending to show surprise and confusion on my face: "Father, mother, why are you two like this? Her younger sister... wasn't she fine a few days ago?"

“What's okay?” Ta Doan Hanh suddenly interrupted, his voice was urgent and fierce as if it wanted to swallow people: "Since the day she left the palace in anger, Nhuoc Ninh has been sick and cannot get up. Every day she washes her face with tears, saying that she harmed her, she was too worried, the medicine was ineffective, and now she is barely breathing."

Mrs. Chu cried so much that she almost fainted: "Doctor... as you said, ordinary medicine is useless, only... only the blood and heart of a biological woman as a medicine can keep a trace of vitality. Dieu Dieu, you are her step-sister, our bloodlines are connected, only you can save her." Sure enough, not a word was wrong. I sneered in my heart, a biological woman, how am I related to her, using my life in exchange for her vitality, yet it became a matter of course. I took a step back, avoiding Chu's hand that was about to grab me, my face showing the right look of panic and disbelief.

“Heart and blood, mother, do you know what you're talking about? That's what kills people.”

“No, I won't take my life.” Chu Thi quickly argued, her voice was urgent, her eyes panicked and avoided.

“Just a small bowl, just a small bowl is enough, the doctor has already said, after taking the blood, just nourish it carefully, there will be no problems, Dieu Dieu, I beg you, please save Nhuoc Ninh, she is your sister.”

Tham Nguy also spoke in a low voice.

"Dieu Dieu, I know you still have resentment in your heart, but this is a human life. As long as you save Nhuoc Ninh, the things we did before will be as if they never happened, you are still the noble daughter of the Tham family."

Ta Doan Hanh took a step forward, his eyes locked on me, his voice carried a tone of grace that made people uncomfortable.

“Tham Dieu, this is the only chance for you to make up for your mistakes.”

"Nhuoc Ninh has a kind heart. If she wakes up and knows that it was you who saved her, she will definitely remember her kindness, and the previous misunderstandings can also disappear."

“At that time, I… might reconsider the matter between you and me.”

I looked at him, looked at his face with the expression "I gave you a chance, you must appreciate it", I just felt disgust rolling in my stomach. Consider again, consider what, see Consider whether I should continue to be the unjust leader with the title of fiancee, or consider the status of "concubine" that he had previously bestowed upon me. I forced down the feeling of nausea in my throat, my eyes swept over the three of them - my parents who shared the same bloodline with me, along with my one-time fiance - each of their faces were filled with worry and madness for Giang Nhuoc Ninh, and looking at me, it was like looking at an inanimate drug that could be used at will. No one cares whether we are satisfied or not. No one cares if we are in pain or not. No one cares whether after taking blood from the heart, we are truly "no worries" or not. What they need is just Giang Nhuoc Ninh's survival. I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them again, only a piece of cold calm remained in my eyes.

“Father, mother, prince.”

I slowly spoke, my voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to drown out Chu's cries.

“You guys are looking for the wrong person.”
