Chapter 158 Make Final Mental Preparations
The nurse took Dakotaâs name card and reminded her.
âThank you for your kindness. If Ms. Garcia really needs it, we will call you over for a
basic examination.
âSometimes, people with the same blood type canât donate blood to each other, such as close relatives.
There may be rejections.â
Dakota nodded. âI understand. No problem. If you need my help, please contact me.â
Rhânegative blood was rare. These years, Dakota often came to the hospital to donate blood, so she
knew these basic requirements very well.
The nurse nodded. âOkay.â
Dakota turned around and left. She was going to walk to the other side. Lucian was not feeling well. He
had been hospitalized for the past two days. She stayed here to take care
of him.
However, when Dakota looked at the ward that Aleena had just entered, Dakota uncontrollably walked
over.
When she reached the ward door, she found it was not closed and that there were many
people in the room.
A nurse was drawing Darleneâs blood in the room and was ready to give her a checkâup. Aleena,
Gustave, and Nathen were standing next to Darlene.
Dakota looked at Darlene, who was lying quietly on the bed. The first time she saw Darlene in the
Gallardâs home, Dakota felt that this girl was wellâbehaved and kind, making people feel close to her.
Now, Dakota suddenly had a feeling that she didnât seem to only have an ordinary favorable impression
of Darlene.
It was as if there was a voice in the darkness reminding Dakota that Darlene was
different.
They had the same blood type and heart disease. Dakota had not thought about these things before.
Now she realized that there were many coincidences.
Darlene was adopted by the Gallard family from the orphanage, so she might not have found her
biological parents.
Moreover, Darlene was twentyâtwo years old this year, just the same age as Dakotaâs
daughter.
Dakotaâs hands hanging at her sides slowly tightened. She thought, can I really find my daughter in this
life?
Lucianâs gentle voice sounded behind her. âWhat are you doing? Katrina has been looking for you for a
long time. You said that you were here to take care of me, and you even made me, a patient, worry about
your whereabouts.â
Dakota turned around. Lucian was standing behind her, pretending to blame her.
He walked over and wanted to look into the sick room. âWho is inside? You are standing there without
moving. Did you get lost the moment you came out of my ward and forget the room number?â
Dakota was afraid that Lucian would think too much, so she immediately pulled his arm and left. âThe
sick room is too stuffy. I just came out to stroll and get some fresh air.â
Lucian was having an IV as he accompanied Dakota back to his ward. âI told you that you wouldnât be
used to staying in the hospital.
âI have someone to take care of me. Katrina is also here. You should go back home to sleep. Otherwise,
I have to worry that you are lost and canât even sleep well.â
Dakota was clearly a little absentâminded. After a long while, she suddenly said.
âI just saw someone I know at the nurseâs station checking in. It seemed that she needed. blood. Her
blood type is Rhânegative. I thought that I could help her.â
As she spoke, Dakota recalled the nurseâs words. âSometimes, people with the same
×
blood type canât donate blood to each other, such as close relatives. There may be
rejections.â
Didnât that mean that the examination before the blood donation was almost a
paternity test?
Lucian instantly said in a deep voice, âYou are not allowed to donate blood again. The hospital stipulates
that one canât donate blood twice within half a year.
âIn the past few years, you have come every half a year to donate blood. It has only been. less than two
months since you last donated blood.
âMoreover, youâre not in good health. Although Rhânegative blood is rare, you are not the only one with
this blood type. In short, you canât donate blood now. You have to be careful of your health.â
Dakota turned back to look at Darlene. For some reason, the more she thought about it, the more Dakota
felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward Darlene.
Dakota vaguely responded, âLetâs wait and see. She may not need my blood. If she really needs it, itâs
okay for me to donate some.â
Lucian couldnât convince her. He sighed, âYou have always thought about others all
these years.
We have done a lot of good things over the years, but whyâ¦â
Lucian thought of his daughter who had been lost for twenty years. Sometimes, he felt that the world was
really unfair. Why couldnât he find his precious daughter after so
many years?
There were some parents who treated their children badly, yet they could live together.
Lucian was old and had nothing else to worry about in his life. He only hoped to find his
daughter.
He wanted to make it up to his daughter.
Even though Lucian didnât finish his words, Dakotaâs eyes turned red. Thinking of her
daughter who might still be suffering outside, Dakota could not help shedding tears. again.
Lucian hugged her anxiously. He was also very upset, but he coaxed her softly, âDonât
cry. I should not have said that.
âOur child will definitely be found back. Everything will be fine. Besides, there are Braylen and Katrina.
They are filial. Donât be too sad or blame yourself.â
In Darleneâs sick room, the nurse drew her blood and asked Aleena to send the blood to the examination
department.
When Aleena and the nurse went out, Nathen finished the examination for Darlene and
also left.
Gustave sat beside the bed and accompanied Darlene for a while.
Darlene seemed to be having a bad dream. Her forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and her brows
were tightly knitted. She was gripping the blanket.
Gustave brought over warm water and wiped Darleneâs face. Giovanni walked in with at gloomy face.
Gustave was sitting by the bed with his back to the door. Giovanni did not see Gustave clearly when he
came in. Giovanni said, âMr. Gallard, I will tell you about Ms. Garciaâs condition. Letâs go to my office and
talk.â
Gustave turned around. Giovanni was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly.
âSorry. How are you related to Ms. Garcia? I need to talk to her family in private.â
Gustave stood up. âI can take responsibility. If itâs not convenient to tell her directly, you can tell me.â
Since it was not convenient to tell Darlene, naturally, the situation was not good.
Giovanni hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned around. âOkay, then come with
me.â
After entering the office, Giovanni handed Gustave a stack of examination results. âPart
of the examination results have come out.
âI am very sorry to tell you that Ms. Garcia is too thin. And considering the other examination results,
implanting the artificial heart is not feasible.
Giovanni took another document from the desk and handed it to Gustave with a serious.
face.
âThis is a critically ill notification. There is still no news of a suitable heart. Ms. Garciaâs physical condition
is deteriorating faster than expected.â
Something seemed to have shattered in Gustaveâs mind. Giovanniâs voice became
blurred.
âOn behalf of the hospital, I am very sorry to inform you that you have to make final
mental preparations.â
