Chapter 723
When His Eyes Opened
Elliot was originally waiting at the neonatal unit, but nobody knew where he ran off to after being
chastised by Mike.
Chad dragged Mike by the collar and led him toward the exit.
âAre you f*cking insane?! Mr. Foster is worried enough about Robert as it is. Why did you have to bring
up that crap with Chelsea?!â Chad had spent all morning contacting blood banks all over the country,
and only now managed to find time to drop by.
âAvery wouldnât have given birth prematurely if it werenât for Chelsea Tierney! If he werenât born
prematurely, then Robert would probably be completely fine!â Mike was still furious, to the point that his
pale skin turned red with rage.
âMr. Foster didnât plan on letting Chelsea go. It was that phone call with her brother that made him
change his mind,â Chad said through gritted teeth. âI suspect Charlie has something on Mr. Foster.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have changed his mind!â
âCharlie Tierney said his sister has a mental illness. Thatâs why your boss went soft!â
âThatâs impossible! Mr. Foster wouldnât go soft on her even if she had an incurable disease, let alone
mental illness,â Chad retorted.
âItâs fine if you wonât believe him, but are you not going to trust me either?â
Mike clenched his teeth and turned silent.
Moments later, he asked, âWhy do you think that someone else might have something on him? Did he
do something bad?â
âCan you say youâre 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 Avery.â
âWellâ¦â Mike touched his nose, still disgruntled.
âAvery must really be blind to have chosen that boss of yours!â
âWhatâs the point of saying any of that? The most crucial thing right now is finding the right blood type
as soon as possible⦠If youâve got nothing to do, then go and contact the major blood banks in
Bridgedale and see if any of them carry itâ¦â
âGot it! Iâll start right away.â
Elliot met up with Aryadelleâs top pediatric and hematology experts.
After analyzing the blood some investigative research, they believed Robert had a rare blood disorder.
With Robertâs 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 Robertâs.
Shea already found out what Robertâs blood type was. She heard about it while Wesley was speaking
to the blood bankâs staff.
âWhatâs my blood type, Wesley?â 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.
âDonât you know what it is? Should I go check right now?â Shea asked.
âWhat if I could save Robert?â
Shea had RH negative Type O blood. It was different from Robertâs, but Sheaâs blood type was a
universal donor for all RH negative blood types.
âDonât be hasty, Shea. Letâs first see if your brother manages to find it.â Wesleyâs voice was strained.
âWeâll talk about it if we have no other choice.â
Wesleyâs phone buzzed half an hour later.He pulled it out and read Averyâs text message.
[Wesley. Robertâs 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, âAre you willing to donate your
blood to Robert, Shea?â
