Chapter 175 I Don't Want You
Previously, she said she didn't want anything to do with him and wanted to leave immediately, but now she found herself entangled in this situation. It's hard not to overthink it.
But Anna genuinely hadn’t intended for this to happen!
She wanted to explain, but the man's deep voice resounded again, "Knowing that your hair could easily get tangled in the button, why didn't you deal with it beforehand? It's something that could have been resolved in a second after it happened, yet you spent five minutes fidgeting around. In this situation, are you trying to tell me it wasn't deliberate?"
As he spoke, he applied force, and with 'snap,' the button came undone, separating her head from his body.
A perfect solution that took merely a second to resolve it.
Why didn't she think of this solution just now?
The crucial point was that she was just fidgeting on top of him for a full five minutes. She blushed and wished she could find a hole to hide in!
Despite her embarrassment, she still tried to explain earnestly, "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't mean it, and I really didn't expect such a direct solution. Any normal person would have tried to undo it..."
Her voice, which should have been firm, inexplicably sounded weak in this moment.
Giorgio stared at her flushed face and slightly curved his lips. He raised his hand and pinched her chin, saying, "It doesn't matter. Just remember, it's because I dislike you being around me, not because you have the right to decide whether to stay or leave."
In other words, she can leave the villa entirely because he doesn't need her.
Otherwise, even if she wanted to leave no matter what, she wouldn't be able to if he desired otherwise.
After all was said and done, he held no affection for her, and he made it clear.
Anna was taken aback. She had known this all along.
Yet, it was unexpected for him to pour cold water on her in such an intimate moment.
Sure enough, he was skilled at manipulating women.
...
After Anna left and returned to the Stefanelli family, it was already 3 p.m.
Davide and Carla didn’t give her a hard time once they knew about Simon's existence, and Fabio didn't give her a hard time either, knowing that he needed her to save Katherine.
Naturally, their concern lay solely with Katherine’s well-being, they only told Rizzo to prioritize her treatment.
Anna didn't mind; she was content as long as they didn’t make trouble for her.
Accompanied by Rizzo, she made her way to the hospital, and as long as the check-up went well, she could proceed with the blood donation.
Unexpectedly, Rizzo and Tom knew each other. They were classmates in medical school.
"Rizzo, why did you come with Miss Stefanelli?"
"I'm in charge of Katherine's treatment. Do you know each other?"
"Of course, Miss Stefanelli is quite special. I’m familiar with her." To Giorgio, she was indeed special.
Rizzo smiled. "In that case, it's even better. Given her unique identity and blood type, so we'll conduct the examination personally to prevent avoid any leaks of information."
"Okay!" Tom nodded happily and quickly proceeded with a series of examinations with Anna.
During the examination, he chatted with Rizzo and learned about the situation of saving Katherine through blood transfusion. Leaving him with mixed emotions.
In theory, Anna probably didn't want Katherine to wake up. Yet she willingly helped Katherine without any concern? It seems like she really doesn't care about Giorgio.
Poor Giorgio. He continued with the wedding just to protect her, and now that Katherine will wake up, what would he do?
An hour later, the comprehensive medical examination results were out. Rizzo and Tom were both taken aback, their faces paling.
Anna raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my medical examination?"
There was indeed something is wrong! And it's a big problem!
It took Rizzo a moment to find his voice and he asked, "Miss Stefanelli, have you ever donated a kidney?"
What?
"No, in the past twenty-two years, I haven't undergone any surgery except for having children and getting colds and fevers."
Rizzo's expression darkened, "But how is that possible? According to the report, you only have one kidney. Could the medical report be wrong?"
"Impossible, we handled it ourselves. How could we make a mistake?" Tom chimed in, his gaze examining Anna, "Think again, did you forget or... did someone steal on of your kidney?"
Anna remained silent, contemplating the shocking revelation.
She had only one kidney.
How? Why had she never known about this?
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for today’s comprehensive medical examination , I might never have discovered this. As for the possibility of kidney theft or anything, I have no recollection. Could it be that I was born with only one kidney?"
Born with one kidney?
Indeed, there were many cases of people with a single kidney documented in medicine!
Tom said, "That's likely the case. Since you have no memory of any surgery, it’s possible you were born with only one kidney. When I have the time, I can conduct a more specific examination of your kidneys to look for any underlying issues."
Rizzo added, "Miss Stefanelli, I just read your overall report. You show clear signs of anemia, and now, with the discovery of a single kidney, I strongly advise against blood donation. It can pose significant risks to your health. It’s crucial to prioritize your well-being."
Anna was also startled by the news of having a single kidney.
However, she still asked, "What about Katherine? The chances of success with a different blood type aren't as high, but I still want to try to wake her up." Her voice was determined and resolute.
Tom hesitated, his thoughts racing. Does she really want to cure Katherine so badly? How much does she want to distance herself from Giorgio?
He suggested, "Let's use a mixed blood type instead. We can blend half of Miss Stefanelli's blood and half of another person who matches Katherine's blood type. It should also have some effect."
Rizzo furrowed his brows, considering the proposal before saying, "For now, let's try it this way. But Miss Stefanelli, you must promise to follow the diet plan I will prescribe for you to regulate your body. As a doctor, my duty is to save one patient without causing harm to another."
Anna nodded earnestly, "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will cooperate."
Rizzo smiled slightly and led Anna away.
Tom watched their retreating figures, contemplating whether to tell Giorgio about this. But upon reflection, it seemed that they didn't have a chance to be together?
Forget it. Let's not give Giorgio unnecessary troubles.
...
In the days that followed, Anna stayed at the Stefanelli family's home every day. She diligently took a lot of supplements and tonics and donating a certain amount of blood to Katherine.
At the same time, Anna kept up her daily livestreams, embroidering handkerchiefs and shoe pads. Her efforts gathered her a growing number of followers that joined regularly.
The days went by without much incident.
In Katherine's hospital room, Fabio would visit every night. As he saw Katherine's complexion improving and her hands regaining sensation, he became excited and said, "It seems that finding you was not a mistake. With the way things are going, Katherine will definitely wake up."
Rizzo, who specialized in studying plant diseases abroad, was satisfied with the current situation. He said, "We owe a great deal to Anna. Without her, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
During this period, he had been taking good care of Anna. Fabio, on the other hand, was also surprised. Given Anna's personality, shouldn't she have fled at the critical moment? But this time, she stayed and wholeheartedly helped Katherine. Perhaps she had a different motive.
Fabio sneered and patted Rizzo's shoulder, saying, "Don't assume she is a good person. If I were to tell you that when I was on the verge of death and needed her kidney to save me, she disappeared and evaded. You would avoid her at all costs."
His eyes were still filled with deep hatred. He despised Anna for her lack of humanity and conscience.
At the same time, his gaze towards Katherine was particularly gentle. In his eyes, Katherine was the kindest and gentlest girl in the world. If it weren't for Katherine, he would've already died. In this lifetime, Katherine was his only sister. Anna didn't deserve it.
Rizzo furrowed his brow, a thoughtful expression on his face. He had always been good at judging people, and Anna was not that kind of person. But could there be some connection between the fact that Fabio needed a kidney years ago and she was missing one...?
