Chapter 728
Perhaps it was just as Avery had said. He was not worthy of raising children or being a father!With his own life in shambles, how was he supposed to care for a child?By the time Wesley rushed over, only Mike and Chad were left waiting at the neonatal unit."What's that, Wesley?" Mike asked when he noticed the case Wesley was holding.The words "Blood Transfusion Kit" was printed on the case."Blood," Wesley responded, then made his way toward the attending doctor's office.Mike and Chad followed him."Is that blood that Robert could use? Is it that RH negative stuff?""Yes, but there isn't much," Wesley said.Mike and Chad were dumbfounded."Where did you manage to get it, Wesley?"Wesley did not answer that question. His heart was heavy.When he asked Shea if she was willing to donate blood to Robert, she nodded her head without hesitation.After that, he ran a series of basic tests to see if Shea was in suitable condition to donate blood.The results showed that she w

Elliot's pace quickened as he made his way up to the master bedroom.When he opened the door, the lamp on the nightstand was turned on. Avery was sitting with her eyes wide open. They were blank globes of emptiness as if someone had taken her soul away."We found the blood, Avery," Elliot said as he walked into the room.This news was more useful than any of his consolation.Avery immediately sat up when he heard his words.Elliot quickly rushed over and held her."Stay home and rest, Avery. I'll go to the hospital right now and see." He saw the light gradually return to her face and comforted, "Robert will be better.""Have they started the blood transfusion?" Avery grabbed Elliot's arm and gazed at him with an expression of anticipation."The doctor is testing the blood right now. Wesley brought it over, so there shouldn't be any issues," he said hoarsely. "You don't look too good. Get some rest. I'll let you know right away if I get any news from the hospital."Avery let ou

WIth furrowed brows, Elliot pulled out his phone and dialed Wesley's number.A few seconds after the call was made, he heard Wesley's exhausted voice."How's Robert doing?""Where did you get the blood, Wesley?" Elliot walked over to a secluded corner, then raised his voice and demanded, "You should know what I'm asking about!"Shea spent every single day with Wesley.There was a high possibility that the blood that he brought belonged to Shea.Wesley did not want to lie, nor did he want to tell him the truth right away."I don't think we have a trusting relationship, Elliot Foster," Wesley said calmly. "Would you trust what I say? Did you ever believe me back when I explained that there was nothing going on between Avery and me?""This is a separate matter entirely.""I've had a long day." Wesley did not want to continue speaking to him. "If you want to know if the blood was Shea's, then you can ask her directly. I'm sure she will answer your question.""You don't think I'll

Elliot walked over to the intensive care unit and sat on a bench outside.Mike sat down next to him."Go home and get some rest," Elliot said."I'm used to staying up at night. I won't be able to sleep if I went back now." Mike leaned back against the chair and scrolled through his phone. "I'm looking for sources in Bridgedale… It's not like people who have this rare blood type don't exist. Why do you think nobody's donating? Are we not offering enough money?""Not everyone knows their blood type, and not everyone knows about our needs." Elliot's eyes were cold as he said, "The world's bigger than we think it is. Plenty of people live in areas with no electricity or water. They don't even know what the internet is."Mike stared at him carefully and said, "That makes sense. I think I know why all those women fall for you. You're capable, but you also sometimes drive people mad.""Please elaborate." Perhaps it was because of the silence of the night, but Elliot felt calmer."Do yo

Avery pulled out her phone, found Shea's number, and dialed it.The call went through, but nobody answered.After the call was ended automatically, she called Wesley.Wesley very quickly answered the phone and said, "How are you doing, Avery? How's Robert's condition?""I'm doing well. Robert's also doing well right now… The doctor said that Shea came to the hospital this morning and that she looked very pale. I tried calling her but there was no answer. I'm a little worried about her."Alarm bells began to ring in Wesley's mind."I'll go see her right now.""Okay. Let me know once you've seen her. She usually looks just fine, why would she suddenly look pale? If her complexion looks really bad, take her to the hospital for a check-up.""Got it."Wesley hung up the phone, then immediately called Shea's bodyguard.When the bodyguard picked up the phone, Wesley asked anxiously, "Where's Shea right now? Is she okay?""She fell asleep in the car. We're almost home," responded th

At the Foster mansion, Wesley entered Shea's room.He stood by the room and watched her face as she slept.Mrs. Scarlet stood aside and said, "She woke up at six this morning and kept going on about wanting to go see Robert at the hospital. She doesn't usually wake up that early. I'm guessing her complexion looks worse than usual because she woke up too early.""Did she say anything this morning?" Wesley had a bitter feeling in his heart.He had a pact with Shea to keep the fact that she donated blood to Robert a secret.It was not that he was afraid of Elliot's fury, but Shea did not want to worry her brother."She said she was hungry and wanted to quickly eat breakfast so she could go to the hospital," said Mrs. Scarlet. "Master Elliot hasn't been home lately. She said she wanted to see Robert, but I'm guessing she probably wanted to see Master Elliot more."Wesley nodded and said, "Let's let her sleep for now. We'll talk about it once she wakes up."He walked out of the room and int

Elliot's words left a deep impression on Avery's heart.He thought that Robert's sickness was life's punishment for him.As a doctor, Avery could not agree.Robert's illness was due to both the premature birth and the fact that his body was weak.Her entire pregnancy was a rollercoaster ride. She was sick multiple times and had to take all kinds of drugs. She was also partially responsible for Robert's condition."I'll try to rush back in the next two hours, Avery."Elliot decided to book an entire plane once he arrived at the airport."Drive safe," Avery croaked."I will. The signal here is pretty bad. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Perhaps neither of them realized that, before Robert was born, they had fought over the matter with Chelsea, and broke things off completely.Now, all Avery wanted was for Robert's condition to quickly stabilize. Nothing else was more important than that.Moments later, Chad arrived with dinner for her."Eat something, Avery!" he said. "The police f

Avery stared at Chad and waited for him to continue."He has some stomach problems. When he gets busy and nobody is there to remind him, he'll forget to eat which triggers his stomach issues. He's got medication in his office and in his car. Other than that, he's also got mild depression. I heard about that from Ben. You can't really tell he's got depression from your usual interactions with him.""I could tell. His mood is unpredictable, which gives people a sense of oppression."I'm used to it, so I don't think it's that bad," Chad said awkwardly."Does he have any other illnesses?" Avery continued to ask.Chad thought about it and said, "I don't think there's anything serious.""Anything psychological, for example?""Wouldn't depression count for that?""Medically speaking, depression is considered a mental illness," Avery responded."Oh… Are the psychological issues you're talking about referring to people in mental hospitals with psychological disorders?" Chad frowned."
