Where My Pulse Ended Chapter 8
So much for the so-called one-way transfer. It was just her taking my blood and me taking her bone marrow.However, her body could not handle the toll of a marrow donation, and she was freaking out."Hank was fired for cutting corners, and Shirley got dismissed for not cutting it at her job..."My best friend read off the hospital's latest gossip, begging me to stay away, afraid they would come after me.However, if I let them off the hook, what was the point of all the pain I went through? So, when Hank called, sobbing and begging for forgiveness, I took a minute and let him off the hook, at least that was what I told him. I wanted them jobless, penniless, and without a chance to bounce back.They managed to weasel my address out of someone and showed up at the hospital before I could donate my marrow. Hank poured his heart out, saying I was his one true love and promising a wedding if I would just come back. I kept the bile down and nodded like I meant it. Then, I took t
Where My Pulse Ended Chapter 7
The place was a hot mess just like before, but Shirley's arm was breaking out in red spots faster than anyone could say 'contagious'.Everyone was freaking out, scared they were about to catch something nasty."Dude! Don't tell me that's Erythema!""She's out here giving blood, and now, she's gonna take us all down with her? Seriously?""Hey, what's that thing on the doctor's neck?""These two were an item, right? Didn't the doctor cheat on his fiancee with the intern? Talk about a trashy duo. They had it coming!"The hospital tried to smooth things over, but the story was too big, and clips were all over the web.I pieced the whole mess together from bits of news here and there.It turned out that the hospital was packed, just like they wanted. However, everything went sideways, and the crowd was livid, demanding that the hospital make things right.Buckling under the pressure, the hospital ran full checks on Shirley and Hank, sending the samples to a third-party lab.The re

Sure enough, once the video hit the internet, comments started flooding in. People were tripping over themselves to be the first to call out the so-called 'Blood Donation Angel' in public.As the buzz around the topic skyrocketed, Hank's nerves were fraying.When he found out Shirley had set the showdown for a week away, he panicked and bumped it up to just three days. Next Monday was the hospital's big review day, where they decided who got promoted and who did not. He knew if he did not clear things up fast, he could kiss his own title goodbye, never mind Shirley's internship.I was not about to get tangled in his drama. I just grabbed my stuff and checked out of the hospital.On my way out, I passed by Shirley's room just in time to catch her doctor giving her the lowdown."All your tests are coming back normal. You shouldn't be fainting with numbers like these..."Shirley did not even bat an eye at the news since she had seen it coming. Hank, though, was a mix of hurt and a

The hospital's phones were blowing up.At first, everyone had their doubts about the so-called heroic amounts of blood Shirley had donated. However, when she was hailed as the 'Blood Donation Angel' and passed out after giving just a little over 100 milliliters, those doubts turned into full-blown suspicion.Whispers started to spread like wildfire. Were the hospital's records just a bunch of lies?As the chaos spiraled out of control and Shirley remained knocked out cold, Hank was freaking out.He had been bragging about his one-of-a-kind apprentice, dreaming of riding her coattails to stardom.However, he ended up deleting his online presence, calling in sick to work, and basically vanishing without a trace.He figured Shirley's setback was just a hiccup, and once she bounced back, she would be his golden ticket.However, a screenshot we all recognized from our messenger group chat popped up online.It was the test report from when Shirley fainted.It was just a blip on the

Once I knew the truth, the urge to bolt just melted away.I did not bother asking around to see if Shirley had been back to donate blood. Instead, I found myself weirdly excited for the morning news broadcast.I mean, Shirley was a walking miracle with her endless supply of her 'rare blood type', a medical mystery that was sure to stir up a storm.It surely stirred up. The next morning, the hospital corridor was abuzz with chatter.Hank was out there, gushing about Shirley's dedication and selflessness like a proud coach.Dolled up for the cameras, Shirley's eyes welled up with tears as she stood in the spotlight, ready to live up to her title as the nation's 'Blood Donation Angel'.She boldly announced she would donate a whopping liter right there on live television.1000 milliliters!That number boomed down the halls, and in my previous life, that was the moment I met my end.My hands were clenched, my heart thundering in my chest as I counted down silently.On the TV in th

With that thought, I hopped in a cab and headed straight for the hospital. After the morning's ordeal, I made a beeline for the IV therapy to get some much-needed energy back.However, the more the solution dripped into my veins, the weaker I felt, until the room spun and I passed out cold. When I came to, Derrick was there with my chart, giving me a stern talking-to."Doctors can't treat themselves, you know. You're seriously anemic. Why were you trying to outdo the kids at the blood drive? What if you'd keeled over in surgery? How would you explain that to a patient?"His words cut deep, and I felt a sting in my heart.In my previous life, I lost everything because I passed out from anemia right in the middle of surgery. The hospital canned me for not being up to the job, and Shirley swooped in and grabbed my whole world.I did not even stop to fill Derrick in. I bolted up and dashed to the office to check the blood bank's donation logs.Just as I suspected, Shirley had gon
