Chapter 1102 Direct Relatives Cannot Donate Blood
Lassie felt a chill down her spine from their stares, as if they were asking, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
She gave an awkward smile and explained, "I checked my blood type once when I married Carter twenty years ago. I haven't donated blood since, so I didn't remember right away."
She should have had her blood type checked when she went to the hospital to give birth. But at that time, her attention was all on the baby, so she didn't notice.
However, everyone was only stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, overwhelmed with boundless joy.
Stella hurriedly pushed Lassie in front of the nurse. "Did you hear that? She has RH-positive blood. Please hurry, we might not have much time."
The nurse looked at Lassie. "You're not related to her, right?"
Lassie nodded firmly. "No!"
The nurse was relieved. "That's good! Please follow me. I'll first take you to check your blood type. If it's confirmed to be RH-positive, we'll draw blood."
"Okay!" Lassie nodded and followed the nurse.
After a while, Lassie came out, pressing a cotton ball to the spot where blood had been drawn.
Stella immediately asked eagerly, "Lassie, how did it go? Are the results out? Do you and Hannah have the same blood type?"
Lassie shook her head. "The results aren't out yet! The nurse told me to wait here for the news."
Stella patted her chest frantically. "It must be the same! It has to be the same! Hannah will be fine, she definitely will be fine!" She was comforting herself, almost hypnotizing herself.
Patricia said, "You and Hannah really have a connection. Not only does she look like Violet, but she also saved Shirley once. Now it turns out you even have the same blood type."
Lassie nodded in relief. "Yes! We do have a connection! Sometimes I think, if only she were Violet! Then I would be happy!"
Her moment of sentiment made the atmosphere instantly somber. Everyone knew Violet's character. So they could all understand Lassie's feelings at that moment. Especially with Hannah as a comparison, the difference was even more stark.
Lisa and Quentin exchanged glances. For some reason, they had a vague, inexplicable suspicion, which quickly scared them.
Austin was the Moore family's eldest son. If Hannah really was the Moore family's daughter, then wouldn't they be siblings?
If they were siblings, why would Austin get engaged to Hannah? And why would he hide his own sister in their house?
No! It couldn't be! How could Hannah possibly be the real Violet? And how could she be Austin's sister? Austin couldn't be so twisted as to like his own sister!
As they kept deceiving themselves, the nurse came over with the blood test report, happily saying, "This lady's blood type is indeed RH-positive, the same as the patient's. She can donate blood."
Everyone was overjoyed. Lassie was also very happy that she could help Hannah. Without a word, she followed the nurse to donate blood.
Watching the nurse take the processed blood bag into the emergency room, Lisa and Quentin felt increasingly uneasy. They felt something was off. But they didn't dare to say anything.
After donating blood, Lassie felt very weak, her face pale.
Patricia immediately helped her to a nearby bench, took a candy from her bag, and handed it to her. "Quick, have a candy, then rest on my shoulder for a bit."
Lassie indeed felt exhausted, her eyelids heavy. She put the candy in her mouth and leaned weakly on Patricia's shoulder to rest.
Stella paced anxiously outside the emergency room. "I don't know if the blood is enough. If it's not, should we call more people to donate? Better to be safe than sorry. If five bags weren't enough earlier, one bag now might not be enough either."
As Stella muttered to herself, the emergency room door opened again.
Everyone thought the blood wasn't enough. Stella said, "I knew it wouldn't be enough!"
Just as she finished speaking, they saw the nurse walk out angrily. "Didn't I say direct relatives can't donate blood? The patient almost died because of you."
Everyone was stunned. Lassie lifted her head, looking at the nurse in confusion, not immediately understanding what she meant.
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Lisa and Quentin's suspicions were confirmed, and they were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Hannah was actually the real Violet.
She and Austin were indeed siblings. Austin was really twisted; he actually liked his own sister. It was all over!
Not just for them, even Charles, who had been standing outside silently, as if in another world, finally reacted. He stared blankly at the nurse. "What did you just say?"
The nurse was still angry, her tone harsh. "If you want the patient to die, just say so. Don't waste medical resources by bringing her to the hospital! If it hadn't been discovered in time, the patient would have died on the operating table."
Charles didn't have time for her nonsense. He grabbed her shoulder and asked through gritted teeth, "Repeat what you just said! You said they are direct relatives?"
The nurse, still furious, said, "Don't you know if they're direct relatives? I made it very clear earlier, direct relatives can't donate blood. The patient will develop graft-versus-host disease. You didn't listen, and now the doctors not only have to stop the bleeding but also deal with a new problem." She was harshly scolded by the doctor earlier.
Everyone finally understood. Lassie, somehow finding the strength, walked unsteadily to the nurse, her eyes red. "How many generations of direct relatives can't donate blood?"
The nurse was exasperated. "Don't you understand? Direct relatives, not collateral relatives! Direct! It's literal, is it hard to understand?"
Hearing the nurse's words, Lassie felt dizzy, her body collapsing backward. Fortunately, Patricia caught her from behind, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Patricia asked the question Lassie wanted to ask, "So, you're saying the patient and Lassie are biological mother and daughter?"
The nurse looked at them strangely. "Yes! Don't you know if they're mother and daughter?"
Lassie and everyone else were shocked.
