Gu Jiao’s heart ached faintly, she couldn’t tell if it was her own feeling or Gu Yan’s pain. Lacking emotional perception, she experienced much of the world through Gu Yan.
She didn’t know if all sets of dragon-phoenix twins were like this.
If she and Gu Yan were to be compared to a tree, then her branch had turned to iron, it was Gu Yan who transmitted his feelings to her, enabling her to deeply feel that she was alive and together with Gu Yan, they lived under the sun.
Maybe this analogy wasn’t very appropriate, but she knew that she and Gu Yan were inseparable, they had the deepest bond in the world.
Gu Jiao hugged Gu Yan tightly, one hand on his burning forehead, "You won’t leave, I will make you stay."
Gu Yan slept heavily in Gu Jiao’s arms.
Unlike the time they had rescued him at the hot springs villa, his condition had actually deteriorated significantly this time.
Gu Yan needed surgery.
However, this was not an ordinary surgical procedure; anesthesia, incising the wound, dealing with the lesion, suturing, and being done with it—Gu Yan’s surgery required extracorporeal circulation.
She lacked the equipment for extracorporeal circulation, as well as other medicines and instruments needed for the surgery.
The first aid kit could indeed provide a steady stream of medicines and medical supplies from the Research Institute, but they were all small things that wouldn’t exceed the size of its container.
Moreover, considering Gu Yan’s current condition, what was needed was not just a set of extracorporeal circulation equipment but an entire operating room.
Gu Jiao looked down at the sleeping Gu Yan in her arms. He was so weak that even the tuft of silly hair on top of his head couldn’t stand up anymore, hanging limply there.
Gu Jiao held Gu Yan’s feeble hand and once again said with determination, "You won’t leave, I won’t let you leave."
Being your sister, I haven’t had enough of it yet.
No one can steal you away from me, not even the King of Hell.
...
Performing surgery on Gu Yan seemed like an impossible task at the moment; she was lacking the equipment and the operating room, but she didn’t want to give up just like that.
Gu Jiao held Gu Yan for a while, ensuring that he wouldn’t wake up anytime soon, then she gently put him back in the bedchamber and pulled the quilt over him.
