The assistant, although a bit incoherent, was overflowing with gratitude. She saw Ning Xia as her second parents, incessantly offering words of thanks.
To calm her emotions, Ning Xia tried to speak in a light-hearted tone, "It's no big deal. Under those circumstances, if it had been Teacher Jiang in my place, she wouldn't have left me to fend for myself either. And as for donating blood, didn't you donate too?"
"It's not the same!" the assistant shook her head vigorously. "You and Teacher Jiang are neither kith nor kin, yet you risked your life to save her. As her assistant, I should have been the one protecting her, but I was useless. All I could do was donate blood, which in the end, Teacher Jiang didn't even need."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel moved. "Miss Ning, you really have a special connection with Teacher Jiang. She has told me many times that she likes you very much. Looking at you always reminds her of her little daughter."
Her little daughter...
