Chapter 742
Wesley, who was standing next to Shea, interjected and said, "Is a pint all they need?"Chad frowned and said bitterly, "It's easier said than done! Even if we find someone whose blood is a match for Robert, we could get at most a little over a pint from them. Mike already found close to half a pint from someone in Bridgedale. We're still over half a pint short."Shea's chest rose and fell rapidly after hearing his words."Do we just need a little over half a pint of blood to save Robert now?""That's right, but it won't be easy to find. Not that many people have this blood type to begin with, and the donor needs to be an adult between the ages of 18 and 55…"Shea grabbed Wesley's arm, then said to Chad, "Wesley and I will go look for it."Chad was confused, then said, "Go home and get some rest, Shea. You don't need to worry about this. It's already dark outside. If there's any information on a source, we'll be the first to find out."He understood that Shea wanted to help, but

Shea's brows instantly furrowed. She anxiously approached Wesley and held both of his hands."My brother definitely won't take my blood… He knew that I could save Robert, but he never asked for my help… That's exactly why I need to save Robert. I'm begging you, Wesley."Her voice was soft as she begged."If I die, then I'll marry you in my next life. How's that, Wesley?" She held his hands tightly, then suddenly beamed and said, "I don't think I'll die, though. Mrs. Scarlet says I've got nine lives. No matter what sickness I get, the doctors could always cure me."As Wesley gazed at the smile on her face and the light in her eyes, his hardened heart gradually began to melt.He asked himself why he liked being with Shea. Was it not because of her pure kindness?In her European-style mansion, Wanda was wearing a silk robe and, after taking a sip of red wine to calm her nerves, dialed Charlie's number.She got to know Charlie through Chelsea.They had dinner the night before last

Avery's heart tightened as she was filled with a sense of loss.She had just seen the doctor's text message before Mike called, but did not even have time to be happy before bad news came her way."It's alright," she muttered. "I'll give the hospital a call.""Okay. Did I wake you?""You didn't. I was already up. Thanks for working so hard the past few days." Avery threw back the covers and got out of bed. She planned to go to the hospital right away. "By the way, the blood bank sent over a little over half a pint of blood just now. I think that should be enough.""That's great! If that's the case, then I'll get ready to head back," Mike said."Alright. I'm going to the hospital to check things out now.""Okay. Please take care of yourself! Don't pass out before Robert gets better," Mike instructed. "I shouldn't call you at this time, but I wouldn't have been at ease unless I did.""I wasn't sleeping that well anyway."Avery said a few more words to him, then hung up the phone
Chapter 745
Elliot could not accept his son leaving this world, because he was the one who forced Avery to have this child.From the moment of conception, to the countless check-ups and his eventual birth, Elliot had poured in all his affection to this child."If anything happens to Robert, even if you don't blame me, I still wouldn't bother you ever again.""Nor would I bother the kids," he thought to himself, but did not say these words.Hayden and Layla did not acknowledge him as their father.Even if there was nothing left but a piece of glass between them, Elliot had a feeling that the two children might never acknowledge him.His words made Avery feel peculiarly upset.Robert was still alive! They were talking as if he was already dead.Avery did not speak, so Elliot turned to glance at her.When he saw her haggard complexion and lack of energy, he quickly pulled her into his arms and rested her head on his shoulder."Get some sleep. Robert will be fine. There's no use in worrying
Chapter 746
When the call went through, the blood bank's manager said, "The staff on duty were the ones who received it. I asked them about it and they said that the person who sent the blood didn't leave their contact information. I'm guessing it was a good samaritan that wanted to stay anonymous!"Where in the world were all of these anonymous good samaritans coming from?Once Elliot was done with the call, Avery said, "Let's go find that good samaritan!"Now that Robert's condition was stable, there was nothing they could do at the hospital."The donor didn't leave a name." Elliot's hawk-like eyes rested on Avery as he asked, "Don't you think it's strange?"Avery seemed to have something on her mind."When Wesley brought that bag of blood, he said that a good samaritan donated it anonymously.""Do you think that this half a pint of blood was also from Wesley?"Avery's lashes fluttered lightly. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. If it really was from Wesley, then why didn't he j
Chapter 747
Both Wesley's and Shea's phones were turned off.It was clear that the good samaritan who donated their blood was Shea.Shea had given Robert close to an entire pint of blood.An adult could donate at most half a pint at a time. Shea should not be donating blood, to begin with, but ended up donating more than the usual amount expected from a regular person!How could her body possibly handle that?There was only one possible reason why both their phones were off, and it was that something happened to Shea. Wesley must not have been able to handle the consequences of his actions and decided to flee."I'll call Shea's bodyguard!" Mrs. Scarlet's eyes reddened as she fumbled with her phone with trembling hands.If Elliot were not exhausted from this entire ordeal with Robert, she would have called him last night to confirm.He had never allowed Shea to go somewhere far away with someone else.She should have been alert.However, Shea had never lied to her!Mrs. Scarlet was anxio
Chapter 748
When Elliot saw Avery and Sandra arrive, the cold expression on his face did not change.There was nobody in Wesley's apartment.He had taken Shea away and nobody knew where they were!"What are you doing here, Mr. Foster?" asked Sandra. "Are you also here to ask Wesley about that half-pint of blood?"Avery saw Elliot almost lose control of his emotions, and quickly walked over to him."Calm down, Elliot!" she hissed under her breath. "Uncle William and Aunt Sandra don't know where Wesley went. I'll think of a way to get in touch with him. Give me some time!"Elliot's eyes were bloodshot and the coldness on his face was indifferent to the world.It was his meticulous and constant care that allowed Shea to live a peaceful and healthy life until now.Her condition finally took a turn for the better and she was beginning to live a life that was closer to that of a regular person, but Wesley ruined it all!How dare he draw Shea's blood?! Where did he find the guts to do that?!Wo

Wesley's actions this time were in complete contrast with his usual conduct!The snow was falling harder when Avery emerged from Wesley's house.Her car was covered in a thick layer of white snow.She loved the snow. If her head was not filled with worry, she would probably take a leisurely stroll in the snow or build a snowman like a happy child.However, when the snow fell upon her face now, all she could feel was a chill to the bone.Avery got into her car and drove to the hospital.At the neonatal unit, there was no sign of Elliot.She had no idea where he was, but she knew that he was in indescribable pain.He must be suffering even more than the night before!It was easier to get over a pain that one could release. It was the pain that one could not talk about that hurt to the depths of your soul.Outside the gates of Angela Academy was a black Rolls-Royce.The car was parked quietly as the wipers rhythmically swept off the snow on the windshield.Elliot was sitting i
