The three of them stopped talking, and Jiang Man's voice trembled: "Doctor, are the results out?"

The doctor nodded, Jiang's father sighed, and Pei Fei's eyes turned red. Jiang Man's hope was dashed, and he bit his lower lip. "The matching was unsuccessful, right?"

"Ms. Jiang, don't give up..." the doctor comforted.

"How come the match wasn't successful?" Jiang Man grabbed the doctor's wrist. "Don't we still need to conduct a high-level matching experiment?"

"It's useless." The doctor shook his head. "The low-profile test failed. There's no need to continue."

Jiang Man's hand slipped, and Pei Fei saw this and quickly hugged her shoulders: "Doctor, can we do it too? We are the child's grandparents, and we are relatives too!"

Father Jiang's expression changed slightly. Su Heng understood his concerns and said, "Although we are relatives, there are conditions for bone marrow matching."

The doctor nodded. "The donor is old and may have a medical condition. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is risky, and the stem cell quality is also poor. I've registered with the China Bone Marrow Network, so the chances of a match are higher."

Jiang Man sat down dejectedly. Jiang's father and wife wanted to comfort him, but Su Heng whispered, "You go take care of Xuanxuan, leave her to me." The two nodded and returned to the ward.

Su Heng sat next to Jiang Man, who sat there blankly with a blank look in her eyes. Su Heng placed his hand on her knees and said, "Go get some sleep."

Jiang Man seemed not to hear it and had a dazed expression.

"Jiang Man." Su Heng pulled her shoulders. "You haven't had a rest in two days."

Jiang Man said woodenly: "I'm not sleepy."

"You need to rest even if you're not sleepy." Su Heng raised his voice. "If you don't sleep, you won't be able to help, and it will even damage your health. Do you understand?"

Jiang Man looked at him with a cold look in his eyes: "You are not Xuanxuan's father, of course you don't worry about it."

"What did you say?" Su Heng's expression tightened, his face turning cold. Jiang Man remained silent, turning her head away. Su Heng held back what he wanted to say, loosened his hand on her shoulder, and stared ahead quietly.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Man fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair. Su Heng raised the corner of his lips helplessly, held her head in his arms, brushed away the messy hair on her forehead, and whispered, "Silly, I love you so much, and you love Xuanxuan so much, how could I not love him? Go to sleep." Tears seeped from the corners of Jiang Man's eyes and seeped into his clothes.

The doctor invited several people to his office.

"Ms. Jiang, I suggest you and your child's biological father have another baby. The probability of a perfect match between siblings is 25%, which is higher than the one in a million chance of having a baby with a stranger. It's worth a try."

Jiang Man and the Su family's parents were stunned. Jiang's father and Pei Fei looked at each other with complicated expressions. Su Heng's eyes froze and his face changed.

"The child's...father?" Jiang Man's eyes were filled with despair. She didn't even know who the child's father was, so where could she find him to have another baby?

The doctor said: "This is just a suggestion, you can consider it."

Leaving the office, Jiang Man's eyes were confused, and he murmured: "Where should I go to find the father of the child?"

Su Heng looked down at her, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "As long as there is hope, it's good. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

Jiang Man raised her eyes, looked at him with a complicated look, pursed her lips and remained silent.

"I'll take you home first." Su Heng said again, "Go home and take a shower, and pack some of Xuanxuan's clothes. He may need to stay for a while."

Jiang Man lowered her eyes, feeling distressed. Su Heng sent her back to the apartment, saying only "I have something to do" and then left.

At the Huamei Group branch, Lu Ziyin looked at Su Heng, who had suddenly visited her, in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Su Heng sat down and asked seriously, "I have something to ask you about Xuanxuan's father."

"Why are you asking this?" Lu Ziyin frowned and spoke in a bad tone.

"I need to ask him for a favor, do you know who it is?"

"How would I know?" Lu Ziyin stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll..."

"Xuanxuan has leukemia." Su Heng said.

Lu Ziyin paused, eyes widening: "You said Xuanxuan..."

"So, I need that bastard's contact information."

Lu Ziyin's expression changed. After a moment of digestion, he said, "I was in a coma during that time. My mother may know more about the specific situation."

"I understand. Thanks." Su Heng stood up and left. Lu Ziyin froze in place, shocked by the news.

At the Lu residence, Mrs. Lu was surprised by Su Heng's appearance.

Su Heng got straight to the point: "I'm here to ask about Jiang Man."

"I have nothing good to say about this woman." Mrs. Lu said coldly.

"You know that your son and I are working together, right?" Su Heng said bluntly, "Don't blame me if I do something that goes against the principles of a business partner."

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. Although she hated being threatened, she was powerless. However, Su Heng did not get any useful clues from Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu had investigated the case in the past and found nothing.

"Even you don't know who Xuanxuan's father is?" Su Heng seriously considered this question for the first time. He didn't want the past to affect his relationship with Jiang Man. But if Jiang Man was inexplicably pregnant with someone else's child, it would be unbelievable.

Mrs. Lu said coldly, "I have done my best for that woman. I have told you everything I know. I hope Mr. Su will not bother me again."

More than two months have passed, and the expert team has carried out conservative treatment. Xuanxuan is in good condition, but bone marrow transplantation is still the top priority.

Jiang Man got up early to buy groceries and cooked porridge and Xuanxuan's favorite dishes. When she was about to go to the hospital, she received a call from the doctor.

"Ms. Jiang, I am Xuanxuan's attending physician." The doctor's voice was excited.

Jiang Man's heart skipped a beat and he clutched his phone tightly: "What happened to Xuanxuan?"

"Did you have your blood drawn for testing yesterday?"

"Well...I fainted yesterday afternoon."

"You fainted because of malnutrition and pregnancy."

"Pregnant?" Jiang Man was confused.

"You're nine weeks pregnant," the doctor said happily. "This way, we can use the newborn's umbilical cord blood to regenerate hematopoietic stem cells. Your son can be saved!"

Jiang Man's head buzzed, his fists clenched, his fingertips white. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Can you please say it again?"

The doctor repeated, "You are nine weeks pregnant."

Jiang Man frowned and calmed himself down: "Okay, I understand. Thank you. I'll go to the hospital later."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Man sat in a chair, trembling all over. Nine weeks, counting the days, it was when he just returned to China. This child is Su Heng's.

Jiang Man rubbed her brow in frustration, leaned weakly against the corner of the table, and stroked her belly. She was looking forward to giving birth to a brother or sister for Xuanxuan, so that Xuanxuan could be saved, but now Xuanxuan's life was at stake, and she couldn't get pregnant at this time.

Jiang Man thought about it, slid down the table and sat on the floor, her palms gently covering her lower abdomen: "Child..." Of course she wanted to keep the child, but Xuanxuan was more important. She couldn't just watch Xuanxuan... Jiang Man buried her head and cried.

In the hospital clinic, the doctor held the physical examination report and said solemnly: "Ms. Jiang, are you sure you want to have the baby?"

Jiang Man nodded without hesitation: "Xuanxuan is like this now, I don't have the energy to support other children."
