Unable to watch Martin's turmoil, Frank couldn't stand to see him like this and pushed back, saidhim, away: "Martin, I really don't understand what you want. If you have no feelings for Patricia, just stay away from her. Do you know how hard it was for her to leave with two children five years ago? She's just starting to recover, and now you're bothering her again. Why toy with her again and again?"
She's just starting to recover, and now you're bothering her again. Did she own you in the past time, to be toyed with by you over and over again in this one?"
Martin's eyes narrowed dangerously.and said: "On what grounds do you question me?"
Frank was about to declare himself as"Just because I am Charles and Fannie's godfather..."
The words 'godfather' were about to be spoken when Patricia, regaining consciousnesswaking up, interrupted with a weak,: "Frank!"
Seeing her awake, Frank's eyes brightened, and he quickly moved to help her up as she struggled to rise. The intimacy of their interaction did not go unnoticed by Martin, who watched from the shadows, his jealousy mounting.
Their intimacy made Martin clench his jaw in the shadows, his hands balled into fists to contain the jealousy rising within him.
Patricia, was still weak, attempted to stand but her legs gave out as soon as she tried to stand, causing her to sway.
Frank swiftly caught her, pullingreached out and pulled her into his arms. With Frank's support,
Leaning on Frank, Patricia found her balance and pleaded, managed to stabilize herself.
"Frank, I don't want to see him., Llet's go. Fannie is waiting for me in the emergency room!"
Frank nodded, asking with concern, "Okay! Should I carry you there?"
Patricia, determined to show strength, said shook her head, "I can walk by myself. How can I protect my daughter if I can't!"
If she couldn't even walk these a few steps?", how could she protect her daughter?
Frank nodded. "Alright.! Tell me if you can't hold on."!"
They"Okay!"
Patricia nodded.
The two of them leaned on each other, and slowly makingmade their way to the emergency room.
Watching them leave, Martin, left behind, clenched his fists so tightlyhard that his nails dug into his palms, yet he felt nothing..
AsJust as Patricia and Frank reached the emergency room door, someone opened it swung open from the inside, and a.
A nurse in blue scrubs hurried out.
Seeing her, Patricia felt that she had enough strengthasked, asking anxiously, "Miss, how is my daughter?"
The nurse replied gravely, "The patient has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion urgentlyimmediately. But our hospital almost ran out of blood. Do any of your friends have blood type AB blood? Call them to come over quickly."
blood? Call them to come over quickly."
Hearing the nurse's words, Charles rushed over., "I'm My blood type is AB blood type. , I'll give Fannie blood, as much as she needs."
The nurse said, and said: "You can't., Cchildren can't aren't permitted to donate blood."
Charles , not listening, rolled up his sleeve, presenting his pale arm to the nurse.: "It's'm fine, I'm her brother., Mmy blood is the most suitable for her."
Hearing they were siblings, tThe nurse was became even more adamant in her refusal.: "If you're her biological brother, then it's definitely not allowed. Blood relatives with matching blood types cannot donate due to the risk of graft-versus-host disease, which is very dangerous and can affect the skin, digestive tract, and liver. It , and has a very low cure rate once it develops."
"Ah..."
This was Charles'sthe first hearingtime Charles had heard that direct relatives couldn't donate blood.
"What do we do then? You don't have blood for Fannie now, and I can't donate. Are we supposed to just watch Fannie suffer inside?"
The nurse looked at Patricia.: "Do any of your friends have have blood type AB blood? Relatives can't donate, but friends can. Try calling them."
"Okay, okay, I'll call right now!"
Patricia's hands trembled as she took out her phone, but due to nerves and fear, she nearly dropped dropping it several times..
Jade also took out her phone.: "I'll call too, I have so many friends;, there must be someone with AB blood type AB. It's not a that rare type."
Unfortunately, after calling aroundso many people, they found A, B, and O blood types, but no AB.
Apart from Jade, Frank, and Hunter, Patricia had no other friends apart from Jade, Frank, and Hunter. .
She flipped through her contact list repeatedlyover and over, but couldn't find anyone else to call.
Frank had just arrived in Ivara City., Aall his friends were in City A, and even if there were some with the same blood type, they were too far away to be of immediate help.
The nurse was frantic.: "How can this be? Not a single friend with AB blood type AB?
What are we going to do?"
The atmosphere grew tense.
Everyone was as like ants on a hot tin roof.
At that moment, aA deep voice rang out.
"I have blood type'm AB type., Sshe can have as much as she needs from me."
Hearing those words, eEveryone turned became excitedly, but but the person just spoke upset them when they saw it was Martin who spoke, they were disappointed.
The nurse happily said, "Do you have any blood relation to the patient?"
Martin shook his head.: "I have no relation to herNope. Not related to her."
Hearing this, tThe nurse's eyes lit up.
"That's great;, please come with me quickly. WJust in case, we need to test your blood first to confirm you'rethe AB type, then we can start the transfusion for the patient ."right away."
Martin nodded, ready to follow the nurse for the test.
He had only tooktaken two steps when Patricia stopped him.: "No, he can't."
Martin thought frowned, thinking she was still blaming him,was caught up in her emotions. , and he frowned,
"I know you're angry with me, but thenow isn't the time. Let'sre are priorit ies. Let's get Fannie through this crisis first."
Patricia was resolute.: "I said no, Noand that means no."
Martin looked into her eyes, narrowinged his own.: "Why not?"
Patricia guiltily looked away., "I said no, and tThere's no reason."
Seeing her so determined, tThe nurse became anxious.: "The patient is really in a critical situationcondition. I think wGhatever grievances there are, they should be set aside temporarilyfor now, patient first."
Tears ran down Patricia's tears ran down her cheeks. and said: "Do you think I don't want to?! But he really can't..."
"Why not?"
"Why not?"
Martin and the nurse asked in unison.
Martin was no fool;. Patricia's refusals without giving a reason made himwas suspicious.
His hawk-like eyes stared into hers, as if trying to see right intothrough her heart.
