Chapter 405 A One-in-a-Million Blood Type
The camellia was tucked between Scarlett's hair, and suddenly it felt like time was intertwining. Brooklyn seemed to stand under the light, with a camellia slanted in her hair.
But as his eyes focused, the face he longed for day and night turned into Scarlett's.
It didn't matter, as long as Scarlett's heart belonged to Brooklyn, whether Brooklyn became beautiful or ugly, even if her appearance was ruined, she would still be his wife.
"Sebastian, were you really that bad to your wife back then?" Scarlett's scrutinizing gaze and probing tone showed she was not being polite with him at all.
Sebastian was also very honest, "Yes."
He indeed treated Brooklyn poorly. If he had treated her well, he wouldn't have let her live alone in that place for three years. If he had treated her well, he wouldn't have let her endure so much criticism, almost ruining her reputation. If he had treated her well, Brooklyn wouldn't have died.
"No wonder. So you're compensating me with all the sweet words you owed Brooklyn? But do you know, once you've let her down, it's done. Even if you find someone exactly like her and shower her with a thousand times more love, she will still never feel it."
Scarlett reached out to remove the flower, but Sebastian stopped her. He grabbed her wrist, controlling the urge to hold her hand, "Dr. Taylor, is this how you treat your patients? It sounds like it would worsen my condition, break down my defenses, and make me want to commit suicide out of shame."
Scarlett couldn't help but laugh, Sebastian's expression was just too funny, serious yet a bit improper. "I see you're living just fine, don't act like there's nothing worth holding onto."
"That's because I have you. You're my special medicine, what do I have to fear?"
"You're so shameless!"
"This time, your diagnosis is correct. Indeed, I am not shy. A shy man can't get a wife, and I don't want to be single for life." As he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous. Especially when he looked up, the white flowers behind him, were as clean as smiling faces.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep!" Scarlett wanted to leave.
Sebastian suddenly grabbed her wrist, a strong electric current spread and flowed quickly from the point of contact.
Scarlett's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't rush to make a decision, especially about marriage. And remember, anything that money can solve is a small matter to me. Don't ever sacrifice your happiness for money."
Scarlett was moved, but her engagement to Kevin had long been set. From the moment she borned, she was destined to be his wife. "Sebastian, how do you repay a debt of gratitude with money?"
Sebastian moved in front of her, straightened her shoulders, and looked firmly at her lowered face. He could only see the top of her head, but it was enough to prove that she didn't really want to get married. "So, Dr. Taylor, are you planning to repay with your body?"
"Sebastian! How can you insult me!"
Sebastian didn't just want to insult her! He wanted to hit her!
This idiot!
"Kevin is not right for you. I am the best choice for you." Sebastian sighed.
"Let go, I want to sleep." Back in the bedroom, Scarlett looked at herself in the mirror and found that she matched the camellia better than the rose. Compared to the red of the rose, she preferred the white of the camellia.
Sebastian's words couldn't be dispelled from her mind.
Was she really going to marry Kevin?
She had seen The Taylor Group's stock, it had plummeted. If she didn't marry Kevin, The Taylor Group would go bankrupt, and her parents would be burdened with huge debts for the rest of their lives.
But then again, Sebastian could also help The Taylor Group get back on its feet.
However, three hundred days of Kevin's companionship and protection couldn't just be forgotten, right?
Zach proactively contacted Sebastian, even he couldn't understand why he would take the initiative to provoke Sebastian.
Standing in front of the apartment he hadn't set foot in for two years, Zach dialed Sebastian's number.
Of course, Sebastian was also a bit surprised to see the number pop up on the screen. He did know that Zach had returned to the country, but he didn't expect that they could still communicate by phone.
He really didn't know how to define his relationship with Zach.
"Mr. Carter." Sebastian also stood by the bedroom window, they were in a different location, looking at the same moon, thinking about the same person.
The difference was, one was thinking about past memories, and the other was thinking about a resurrected future.
Zach held a wine glass, swirling the crimson liquid, and took a small sip. "Actually, back then, I was prepared to stay in Jabari forever. If Brooklyn really had AIDS, after she died, I would have stayed by her tombstone forever."
Sebastian frowned, listening to Zach's declaration of loyalty to Brooklyn. How could this feel good? Obviously, it didn't!
"Zach, are living too comfortably? Want to lie in a hospital for a few months? If you want, I can personally help you. Broken leg or broken arm, your choice!"
On the other end, Zach took another sip of wine. "If it weren't for the pregnant woman in Jabari needing a blood transfusion and not being able to find a matching blood type, who knows how long Scarlett's illness would have been hidden."
Sebastian didn't know it.
Zach gave a bitter smile. The wine, though sweet, tasted bitter. "You didn't know, did you? Brooklyn's blood type is very rare, which is RH negative."
Sebastian suddenly felt like a blinding fireball exploded in the black sky! The whole world lit up completely lit up!
Brooklyn's blood type was a one-in-a-million blood type!
Appearance could be changed, memory could be lost, but blood type couldn't be changed! As long as he proved that Scarlett is also RH negative, she can no longer deny she was Brooklyn.
Her hesitation and confusion would be resolved. No matter how many lies she had heard, they would all be shattered!
"Zach! Thank you!"
Sebastian's inexplicable thanks left Zach puzzled for a while, unable to understand what he meant.
Was he crazy?
On the other hand.
"Megan, I need to tell you something. You must stay calm and not act impulsively." Piper said.
"What is it?" Megan was nervous.
Piper's news often carried significant weight, sometimes affecting Megan's life. How could she not take it seriously?
"Scarlett is Brooklyn. Brooklyn didn't die, she's still alive."
Megan was suddenly stunned, collapsing onto the sofa as all her strength was drained, leaving her without any support!
She remained motionless for a long time.
Her fingers clutched the golden edge of the throw pillow, pulling out threads that embedded into her fingers, leaving a crimson mark, but she didn't notice.
"How could this be?"
Piper had anticipated her reaction and comforted her over the phone, "There's still room to turn things around. Listen, if you want to keep Sebastian, you must stay calm!"
"How can I stay calm! Scarlett is Brooklyn, and she's right next to Sebastian! They see each other every day! He will find out sooner or later!" Megan was anxious.
"Then marry Sebastian before he finds out!" Piper suggested.
Megan dreamed of marrying Sebastian!
"Megan, you must find a way to marry Sebastian quickly. Zach is back, and I'm afraid he will also find out Scarlett's blood type. You need to marry Sebastian before Zach learns the truth."
Megan wanted to, "Piper, it's not about me. Sebastian doesn't want to marry me, and his attitude towards Brooklyn now far exceeds that of a normal relationship."
The affair at the restaurant had made everything clear. Sebastian's attitude towards Scarlett, no, towards Brooklyn, was ambiguous, and anyone could see it!
"Calm down! What are Sebastian's vulnerabilities? Who helped you get engaged in the first place? His parents want you two to marry. The Turner family and the Kingsley family are well-matched. Brian and Jennifer aren't fools."
"Okay, I will." Megan couldn't stay calm. Scarlett being Brooklyn shocked her . If Sebastian found out, her dream would be shattered!
No, she couldn't let it end like this!
The next day, Scarlett woke up but didn't smell any food. Strange, had Sebastian's enthusiasm for cooking only lasted a few days?
Or had Sebastian heard about her marriage and decided to give up?
She was suspicious but then saw Sebastian returning from a run in his workout clothes. He was tall and elegant, with a light sweat on his face, perhaps it was the beautiful morning light, she found Sebastian to have graceful elegance. It must be an illusion!
"Mr. Kingsley, it's not early today."
Sebastian looked at the large clock in the living room, "Indeed, it's not early. So today, you slept even longer than yesterday. I think once your arm heals, you'll probably lose the habit of running."
"Impossible. Once a good habit is formed, it won't be easily lost." Scarlett was helpless.
Sebastian nodded, "There's no breakfast for now. Wait here for a bit, and we'll go out to eat."
Scarlett elongated her tone, suddenly laughing as if she had discovered a big secret, "So, you couldn't keep up with cooking for more than a few days."
Sebastian didn't deny it, "You're right."
He smiled almost indulgently as he went upstairs.
He changed clothes, and picked up the car keys, "Let's go. I'll take you to a good place for a special breakfast."
The Rolls-Royce headed towards the city, and the route became increasingly familiar.
"This is the way to Aucester Hospital, isn't it?" Scarlett was confused.
Weren't they going for breakfast? Who would drive for dozens of minutes to have breakfast, especially during rush hour?
"Your memory is good." Sebastian smiled.
The car stopped at Aucester Hospital. When Sebastian and Scarlett arrived, it was just the start of the workday. The doctors arriving for work were so shocked to see Sebastian and Scarlett together that they dropped their breakfast.
"Mr. Kingsley, good morning."
"Dr. Taylor, good morning."
The reason for their shock was simple, Sebastian was holding Scarlett's hand!
Scarlett struggled hard, but Sebastian's grip was too strong. After several failed attempts, she had no choice but to be dragged into the outpatient hall.
"Sebastian, what are you doing? Let go! This is a hospital, mind your manners."
Sebastian's fingers tightened around hers, "I'm very mindful."
He was being utterly unreasonable!
Piper had just entered and, hearing the commotion, rushed through the glass doors. "Sebastian, what are you doing here?"
Sure enough, Sebastian was holding Scarlett's hand!
Sebastian glanced at Piper, "Ms. Rivera. Where's the blood collection room?"
Piper's brain almost short-circuited, her body stiffening like a stone! "What are you going there for?"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "Since I'm going to the blood collection room. What do you think?"
Scarlett was also confused, asking with her eyes, "You need a blood test? Are you seriously ill?"
Piper forced a smile, "What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly need a blood test?"
Sebastian didn't want to waste words, "Not for me, for her. Which floor?"
