Chapter 1773: Chapter 1786

“My blood type is RH negative, too,” Catalina said, meeting Holden’s gaze.

“Let me donate.

Adele has been through enough today.

”

Relief washed over Holden’s face, his eyes glistening.

“Thank you,” he said, his voice trembling.

Catalina’s response was immediate and unwavering.

“You are welcome.

I’m Ariana’s aunt, after all.

” Without hesitation, Catalina donned a medical gown and followed the nurse into the emergency room.

The door of the emergency room was quickly closed again.

Looking at the door, Holden slid down the wall, a bitter laugh escaping his lips.

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

The weight of his powerlessness in the face of Ariana’s peril and Adele’s ordeal crushed down on him.

The realization that he had nearly risked his daughter’s life out of desperation twisted like a knife in his gut.

Rodney, seeing Holden like this, understood his thoughts.

“This isn’t your fault,” he said gently, motioning for his men to help Holden to a place where he could rest.

However, Holden refused to leave.

He lifted his head, eyes blazing with determination.

“I’m staying until Ariana wakes up.

”

Rodney sighed and then said, “At least change your clothes.

You’re covered in blood now-it might frighten Ariana when she sees you Like this.

”

Realizing that Rodney had a point, Holden nodded reluctantly.

He departed to change his clothes, quickly returning to resume his vigil on the hard bench outside the emergency room.

An hour had crawled by before the emergency room light finally dimmed.

Catalina emerged, supported by a nurse.

“I’m alright,” she said, gently waving off further assistance.

Rodney and Holden rushed to Catalina, concern etched on their faces.

While Catalina appeared pale, she seemed fine.

Rodney, still worried, inquired about her well-being.

“Nothing a good meal won’t fix,” Catalina reassured him with a smile.

“I’ll have Judy prepare some food for me later.

”

Before Rodney could respond, Holden interjected urgently, “What about Ariana? How is she?”

As if on cue, Ariana, unconscious but alive, was wheeled out.

Mitchel stood by her side.

Mitchel removed his mask.

“Ariana’s life is saved.

Sadie’s stab missed Ariana’s heart-it was a close call.

There may be complications during recovery, so Ariana will still need careful monitoring and rest.

”

At these words, the tension drained from Holden’s body.

He sagged against the wall, feeling as if he could breathe again for the first time in hours.
