Chapter 648


    “The patient and I are strangers. I just so happen to pass by here and am willing to donate my blood,”


    Corinne replied.


    The doctor was awed by her generosity. “It’s certainly rare toe across someone as kind as you


    nowadays. Quick, take this kind of samaritan to do a blood test. You have my permission to collect her


    blood once the resultes back clear.”


    “Yes, Doctor Kingsley,” said the nurse with a nod.


    Corinne followed the nurse to the blood collection room. She brought Lilin along with her because she


    was worried the little girl would start crying outside the emergency ward again. Lilin knew Corinne was


    going to donate blood to her mother, so she docilely followed her to the blood collection room. The little


    girl never so much as made a peep along the way.


    After collecting a sample of Corinne’s blood, the nurse immediately sent it to theb for testing. Her


    result came back with the confirmation of Corinne being Rh-negative so the nurse got ready to collect.


    more of her blood for the transfusion.


    Corinne sat there, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her arm for the nurse to plunge the needle


    in. The nurse inserted the needle into her vein and the transparent tube was instantly filled with blood.


    After a while, the nurse noticed something was wrong so she asked worriedly, “Ma’am, are you okay?


    You don’t look too good. Is there any medical history I should know about?”


    Corinne shook her head. “No. I’m perfectly healthy though I am two months pregnant.”

    The nurse was shocked. “What? You’re pregnant? Oh no! You can’t donate your blood then.”


    She then quickly ripped off the tube and pressed a cotton ball onto Corinne’s wound.


    “It’s okay. I’m confident about my health. A little blood donation wouldn’t hurt me or the baby. Please


    continue,” Corinne assured the nurse.


    The nurse shook her head and said, “No, I won’t allow you to donate your blood since it’s not


    rmended to do that while you’re pregnant. This is very risky of you. What if this affects the baby in


    your tummy?”


    Corinne had in her possession some medical knowledge and knew her own body very well. Therefore,


    she was sure it would not harm her to give a little more blood. Lilin reminded her of her young self.


    Even now, she could vividly remember the helplessness she felt when she was left alone in the hospital


    waiting for her mother toe back. Oh, how she so vehemently wished some grown-up was there to


    help her look. for her mother at that time.


    She started shuddering uncontrobly at the thought of suddenly losing her mother. Having


    experienced that, she could not possibly forgive herself if she was to leave Lilin alone to fend for herself


    in the hospital. Therefore, she swore to herself that she would save Lilin’s mother no matter what.


    ‘Poor child. I can’t bear to see a kid as young as her losing her mother/ I can always nurse my body


    back to health after this but the same can’t be said about Lilin’s mother,’ she thought.


    “Don’t worry. I know my own body very well. Please continue to collect the blood,” she said to the


    nurse.


    “No! I won’t do it no matter what!” The nurse looked at the half-full blood bag. “This might not be


    enough but it’s good enough for emergency use. As for the rest of the blood, I’ll try my best to look for


    other sources.”


    Lilin listened to the conversation between Corinne and the nurse. Even though she was still a kid, she


    understood what was going on. She looked tearfully at the nurse and asked, “Miss Nurse, is my


    mommy going to be okay? I heard you say that we wouldn’t be able to use thisdy’s blood because


    she’s pregnant.


    The nurse wanted tofort her but she did not want to lie to her either. She sighed helplessly and


    said, ” If we can’t find enough blood, your mommy might not-


    “Hey Lilin, don’t worry. Your mommy is going to be fine. I’m going to make sure she’ll get all the blood


    she needs, okay?” interjected Corinne.


    The nurse was surprised. She looked at Corinne with disbelief. ‘Is she for real? Or is she just trying to


    make her feel better?’


    Lilin’s eyes immediately lit up; gone was the despair from her little face. “Really? Are you going to find


    some blood for my mommy?”


    Corinne patted her gently on the head and said, “Yup. I’ve never lied to anyone so just wait here for me


    toe back, okay?”


    Corinne did not me the nurse for doing her job. The nurse only meant well after all and everyone


    knew how dangerous it would be for a pregnantdy to donate blood
