“I suspect Charlie has something on Mr.
Foster.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have changed his mind!” “Charlie Tierney said his sister has a mental illness.
That’s why your boss went soft!” “That’s impossible!
Mr.
Foster wouldn’t go soft on her even if she had an incurable disease, let alone mental illness,” Chad retorted.
“It’s fine if you won’t believe him, but are you not going to trust me either?” Mike clenched his teeth and turned silent.
Moments later, he asked, “Why do you think that someone else might have something on him?
Did he do something bad?” “Can you say you’re a saint?
You told me that you did a bunch of bad stuff when you were young and only started to turn into a better person after meeting Averie.” “Well…” Mike touched his nose, still disgruntled.
“Averie must really be blind to have chosen that boss of yours!” “What’s the point of saying any of that?
The most crucial thing right now is finding the right blood type as soon as possible… If you’ve got nothing to do, then go and contact the major blood banks in Bridgedale and see if any of them carry it…” “Got it!
I’ll start right away.” Elyette met up with Aryadelle’s top pediatric and hematology experts.
After analyzing the blood and some investigative research, they believed Robert had a rare blood disorder.
With Robert’s current condition, there might be a way to quickly relieve his symptoms.
It was to completely change his blood type.
The procedure required a large amount of blood.
They could not even get their hands on a small amount of blood, so where were they supposed to find a large amount of it?
Over at Elizabeth Hospital, Wesley and Sheas were sitting on a bench outside the blood bank.
As Wesley had expected, the blood bank did not carry any blood that matched Robert’s.
Shea already found out what Robert’s blood type was.
She heard about it while Wesley was speaking to the blood bank’s staff.
“What’s my blood type, Wesley?” Shea asked, suddenly breaking the silence.
Wesley was taken aback.
He turned to her, and his lips moved, but he did not say a word.
“Don’t you know what it is?
Should I go check right now?” Shea asked.
“What if I could save Robert?” Shea had RH negative Type O blood.
It was different from Robert’s, but Shea’s blood type was a universal donor for all RH negative blood types.
“Don’t be hasty, Shea.
Let’s first see if your brother manages to find it.” Wesley’s voice was strained.
“We’ll talk about it if we have no other choice.” Wesley’s phone buzzed half an hour later.
He pulled it out and read Averie’s text message.
(Wesley.
Robert’s anemia is pathological.
He needs a blood change.]
Wesley dejectedly took in a deep breath and tightly clenched his fists.
Moments later, he heard the unfamiliarity of his own voice as he said, “Are you willing to donate your blood to Robert, Shea?
At the same time, Elyette was out in the cool breeze on the hospital’s veranda. It took Chad forever to finally locate him. He felt awful as he watched Elyette’s lonely silhouette in the night.
“What are you doing here by yourself, Sir?” Chad said after composing himself.
“It’s time for dinner.” “I can’t eat,” Elyette responded.
His voice was cold and hoarse.
Robert needed a blood change, but due to his peculiar blood type, they had yet to find a suitable source of blood.
This was only the first of his woes.
The second was that he knew there was a possibility that Shea’s blood type could be a match for Robert.
However, he could not reveal this matter.
He could not allow Shea to donate blood to Robert.
It took him 20 years to turn Shea’s life from that of someone with a mental disability to one where she could gradually begin to care for herself like a regular person.
All he hopes for was for Shea to maintain her current condition and continue to live her life normally.
How could he possibly ask her to donate blood to Robert?
What if something happened to her because of that?
However, how could he have the heart to watch as Robert dies from anemia?
He had to deal with all of his agonies by himself, and could not speak a word of it to others.
“Even if you can’t eat, you shouldn’t be out here.
It’s freezing out here.
You have to be careful not to catch a cold,” Chad said.
“Averie is still recovering from the birth.
She and the kids need you to take care of them.” His words woke Elyette up, and he made his way to the neonatal unit.
When the doctor noticed Averie’s sickly complexion, he advised her to go home and get some rest.
“You’re still a patient, Miss Tate.
You would probably still be hospitalized if you hadn’t insisted on being discharged,” the doctor said sternly.
“You’ll get sick if you don’t get enough rest now.
The experts that Mr.
Foster hired will watch over Robert Once we find the blood, we will immediately start the blood transfusion…” Elyette was standing nearby when he witnessed this scene.
He quickened his footsteps and arrived in front of Averie.
He did not speak to her, because she would not listen to anything he had to say anyway.
He just picked her up in his arms and carried her toward the elevators.
“I’m not going home!” Averie’s eyes reddened as she pounded his chest with her clenched fists.
“I want to stay here with Robert!” “Who’s going to be with Layla and Hayden if you broke down from fatigue?” Elyette did not stop walking.
“Don’t punish yourself because of my mistakes, Averie!” Averie almost thought that she had heard wrongly.
Did Elyette just say that it was his fault?
He finally admitted that he was in the wrong!
Once they entered the elevator, she pushed herself out of his arms.
“What’s the point of you admitting your mistakes now?
The baby’s already born.
He’s already a living being.
If he dies, then you and I won’t meet again for the rest of our lives!” Averie said these brutal words as her eyes glistened with tears.
If it were not for the premature birth, there was a possibility that Robert would have been born as healthy as Hayden and Layla.
Even so, Elyette was still unwilling to punish the person behind Robert’s premature birth!
His tolerance is exactly why Chelsea Tierney had the courage to act so insolently!
Averie had seen right through it!
Even if she had given Elyette three children, she was still no match for Chelsea who had been by his side for over a decade!
Everything around her was a constant reminder that she was forced into getting pregnant with Robert by the heartless man standing in front of her.
It was also that madwoman, Chelsea, and her incessant harassment that led to Robert’s premature birth!
Elyette stared at Averie in stunned silence.
His thin lips parted for a moment, but no words escaped them.
Averie met his gaze with fury.
When she saw the glisten of tears at the corner of his eyes, the elevator chimed, and its doors opened immediately after.
“I’ll get home myself.
You don’t have to send me.
Averie left the hospital in her car. Her tears began to blur her line of vision without warning. She finally could no longer hold back and burst into gut-wrenching sobs. Before she allowed herself to cry, she brought the car to a halt by the street.
If she had known that a premature birth would lead to such severe consequences for Robert, she would have controlled her emotions and avoided all of this pain.
Seeing how Robert had to endure such torture at a young age was agonizing for Averie.
She was willing to give up everything to take the suffering in her child’s place!
In a certain mansion, Wanda was holding a glass of wine in her hand.
The red liquid swished in the glass along with the movement of her wrist.
She was holding her phone in her other hand and talking on the phone.
