The Prime Minister’s Darling - Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265: 617 Dragon and Phoenix Twins (First Update) Chapter 1265: 617 Dragon and Phoenix Twins (First Update) 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.

She walked out of the eastern chamber and said to Gu Xiaoshun, who was anxiously waiting in the hall, “Xiaoshun, come here.”

“Sister!” Gu Xiaoshun turned and walked towards Gu Jiao, “How is Gu Yan?”

“He’s been temporarily saved,” Gu Jiao said.

There wasn’t much fluctuation of emotions on Gu Jiao’s face, but Gu Xiaoshun could still feel the ice-cold aura enveloping her.

Gu Xiaoshun felt sorry for Gu Jiao; he was a child who didn’t even receive much care from his parents, only his sister was good to him.

“Sister.” Thinking about Gu Jiao being upset because of Gu Yan, his throat tightened with a choke.

Gu Jiao looked at him and asked, “I have some things to ask you.”

Hearing it was something serious, Gu Xiaoshun hurriedly wiped away his tears and gathered himself, “Sister, please go ahead!”

Gu Jiao asked, “Did Gu Yan do anything strange before his heart disease acted up?”

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head, “Strange behavior?”

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and said, “For example, did he come into contact with anyone or eat anything?”

Gu Yan was taking medication and his heart disease was well controlled. Although not quite like a normal person, it should not have suddenly deteriorated like this.

Gu Xiaoshun knew about Gu Yan’s heart disease and took great care of him at the Academy, always paying close attention to him.

He pondered carefully, “I entered the Academy with him, then we attended classes together, studied together… After class, he went to the privy, and when he came back… He seemed a bit tired. He always complained of tiredness; actually, it wasn’t real tiredness, just that he didn’t want to attend class and wanted to doze off on the desk. I thought that was the case today as well, but who would’ve thought… He suddenly collapsed while lying there.”

Gu Jiao frowned.

“Ah!”

Gu Xiaoshun suddenly remembered something and blurted out, “I remembered! When Gu Yan came back from the privy he said, ‘I encountered a blind fool, really bad luck!’ I asked him what happened, but he said it was nothing, and then he patted his clothes as if he had fallen. But since he seemed fine, I didn’t inquire further.”

“A blind fool?” Gu Jiao called the two shadow guards, A and B, “Were you following Gu Yan today? Do you know if he fell in the privy?”

Both shook their heads.

They were indeed following Gu Yan, but they wouldn’t go into the privy with him.

Shadow Guard A said, “We were guarding outside the courtyard of the privy; if someone wanted to harm the young master, we would be able to sense the murderous intent.”
