âAlrighty!â
Ellinor left the blood collection room with the little girl, Lea Reynolds, heading towards the trauma room to wait for her mom to finish donating blood However, after they left, the two nursing interns on duty in the blood collection toom got into a discussion.
âHey! Did you hear that? The handsome guy who came to donate blood, it seemed like he was asking Ms. Mendoza to have an abortion!â
âI did I heard it too! Ah! Heâs so good-looking. I thought he was a good guy! Who wouldâve thought a guy that handsome would turn out to be so irresponsibleâ
The intern on the left snorted, shaking her head in disagreement. âHmm.. I donât think theyâre in a romantic relationship. Theyâre probably relatives, like siblings or something Donât you think they kind of look alike?â
The intern on the right tried to recall, âNow that you mention it, they do look somewhat alike! But how could they be siblings? If they are, why would a brother ask his sister to have an abortion? That doesnât make sense!â
The intern on the left stood her ground, âWhy not? If heâs the older brother and he doesnât like the guy who got his sister pregnant, of course he might pressure her into having an abortion to avoid trouble!â
The intern on the right pondered. âHmm⦠There are examples of that possibility! But, the way they were talking just now didnât seem like siblings at all! That guy kept calling. her Ms. Mendoza, so formal, so distant. Would siblings call each other like that? I still think theyâre more likely not siblings!â
The intern on the left was adamant about her instincts, she was persistent and wanted to convince the other, otherwise she wouldnât feel comfortable!
But she couldnât find any convincing evidenceâ¦
At this moment, she looked at the blood collection records sheâd just entered, and an idea popped into her mindâ¦.
âSince you insist on your point of view, and I insist on mine, letâs make a bet!â
The intern on the right raised an eyebrow, âA bet? On what?â
âWeâll bet on what the relationship actually is between that handsome guy who donated blood and Ms.
Mendoza! Whoever loses has to withdraw from the intern competition, letting the winner become a full-
time staff member!â
âHow are we supposed to bet on that? Even if we did, who could know their actual relationship? Are you planning to hire a detective to investigate them? I think that gentleman is very elegant, not like ordinary people. If he found out we were investigating him, we could be in trouble!â
The intern on the left was full of confidence, âHire a private detective? What are you thinking? Donât we have their blood samples right here? We could sneak off and do a blood test! If the result shows they are related, it means Iâm right, if not, it means youâre right!â
The intern on the right widened her eyes in surprise, âAre you out of your mind? Using patientsâ blood samples without permission is illegal!â
âOh come on! Weâre not using their blood for anything bad, itâs no big deal if no one knows! Besides, itâs only us two who know about this, and whoever wins will become a full-time staff member! Werenât you just so sure they had a special relationship? Why are you afraid to gamble now?â
âFine! Letâs bet! But we both have to promise, only we two can know about this, no matter who wins or loses, we canât tell a third person!â
âDonât worry! Deal!â
After reaching an agreement, the two nursing interns sneakily took the blood samples of Ellinor and Balfour.
