The thought of the blood at the doorway made Valerie panic.
Olivia was frail. If something happened to her, what could they do?
Valerie was filled with regret. She should have intervened and stopped Olivia.
Matthew patted her back reassuringly and said, âDonât worry, Valerie. Olivia has always had good fortune on her side, and the doctors here will take care of her. Besides, you noticed it in time. Everything will be fine.â
Despite his words, his eyes reflected a deep concem. He sensed that the situation might not be so simple.
However, with no time to investigate further, Matthew himself felt uncertain. Oliviaâs frail health combined with her advanced age made any mishap potentially lifeâthreatening. After releasing Valerie, he swiftly contacted various neurology specialists from the city hospital to rush to Oliviaâs aid
The wait was agonizing
Soon, a nurse rushed out of the emergency room, her expression grave as she said, âThe patient has lost a lot of blood and needs an immediate transfusion.â
Just then, footsteps echoed from the hallway, and Owen arrived with others.
They hadnât even reached the Anderson family when they got the call abour Oliviaâs fall and critical condition. Owen was more anxious than anyone, feeling a mix of worry and a strange excitement. This incident with Olivia nowâ¦.
Despite his thoughts, he put on a deeply concerned expression and rushed over, asking breathlessly, âDoctor, how is she?â
âThe patient needs an urgent blood transfusion, and our blood bank is critically low. We have no Oâtype blood in stock.â
âDoes anyone here have Oâtype blood? Owen turned and asked.
Everyone was stunned. Oâtype blood! None of them were among this group. They were all at a loss for a moment.
The nurse was visibly anxious and said. âQuickly call and ask people you know! The patient canât wait too long!â
Valerie stepped forward and said, Tm Oâtype. Use mine!â
âNo!â Matthew immediately stopped her. âYouâre pregnant. How can you do this? I have everyone from the company come over right away for testing!â
âThereâs no time! Valerie countered, holding him back. âEven if thereâs Oâtype blood available, the Noria Group is twenty minutes away. Grandma might not hold on that long!â
Valerie rolled up her sleeve hastily and said to the nurse, âUse mine. Itâs fine. Iâm young. Iâll be fine.
The nurse looked Valerie over, then glanced at Matthew, saying, âItâs up to you. We donât usually recommend pregnant women to donate blood, bur the situation is dire â
Valerie said, âLet me do it. Right now, time is of the essence. If something happens to Grandma, none of us can bear it!â
Matthew was still worried. Seeing Valerieâs insistence, he knew she wouldnât listen to reason. Besides, Olivia wasnât just anyone. Reluctantly, he agreed but added, âCall the obstetricians over to ensure her safety
we will, the nurse

âDonât worry, we w
Valerie immediately followed the nurse away.
At this moment, Owen, who had been silent, suddenly said, âSince Sarah is giving blood, why not take the opportunity to do a paternity testâ¦
Seeing Matthew and Sophia both frowning at him, Owen cleared his throat lightly and said, âI didnât mean it like that. Of course, I believe in Sarah. Itâs just that news of Saraliâs return has spread throughout Kranson City, but thereâs still no concrete evidence to prove her identity. Itâs understandable if other family members feel uneasy.
âItâs not entirely their fault, Owen continued, explaining further. âSarah has been missing for so long, and suddenly reappears. People might think itâs a hoax. Plus, the Anderson family previously held a grand memorial for Sarah. Prominent figures from Kranson City attended to pay their respects. Now, saying sheâs found again, those who arenât in the know might speculate somethingâs amiss with our familyâ
âSo, Iâm thinking we should do a DNA test, Owen concluded, addressing the concerns. âWith the report, we can silence any doubts and prevent further questioning from within the familyâ

Sophiaâs expression soured, âWhy should we care about what others think?â
âThatâs not quite what I meant⦠Owen started to explain again.
Unexpectedly, Matthew cut him off abruptly. âLetâs proceed with the DNA test.â
