Edward stared at Elias in stunned silence. He couldn't believe that Elias was actually going to donate his blood to Macie. He thought that it might be a rather unnecessary gesture.If Elias just wanted to make up for past mistakes, he'd already called in plenty of donors. He didn't have to step in and put himself on the line."What's your blood type? If you're certain, we can skip the cross-matching step," said the nurse."I have type O blood," Elias answered."The patient is also O. In that case—"Before she could finish speaking, he cut her off. "Please run a GvHD screening first. With today's medical technology, it should be doable. I assume the hospitals here are on par as well?"The nurse paused before responding, "Of course. Our hospital is in line with international practices. However, are you the patient's immediate family? If not, there's no reason to screen for that. "And if you are, you shouldn't be donating at all. Otherwise, we'd have to irradiate the blood, which

"What the hell is going on, Elias? Why did you say that you and Macie are siblings? Didn't you already run a DNA test with Sharon?" Edward demanded, looking at Elias. "How could two people share the same genes? Do you have two younger sisters or something?"Elias had neither the time nor the patience to deal with him. He raised his hand, signaling his bodyguards to keep Edward out of his way."Elias! Hey, what's wrong with you? Cat got your tongue? Why aren't you answering me?" Edward fumed.He thought Elias was only acting so arrogantly and unreasonably because he had the strength to back it up. He believed that Elias was nothing but a brute.Edward could barely make sense of their conversation in the blood donation room, but when Elias started making call after call to bring specialists in, he seemed even more terrified than Edward that something might happen to Macie.Edward had his bodyguard look up what a GvHD screening was, and after learning about it, he was even more perpl

Edmund recalled how, three hours ago, when he had confronted Sharon, her expression and tone had already seemed off. It had taken her quite a while to open the door, yet her clothes were neatly put on. He figured that she must have been planning her escape back then. However, he hadn't noticed a thing. If only he had acted sooner and restrained her at the time, she wouldn't have had the chance to slip away now!Edmund immediately called Elias to tell him about what had happened. After hearing that, Elias clenched his fists. He inwardly swore. It seemed that Sharon had escaped. He wondered who had warned her. Was it her accomplices? "Don't worry about Sharon. I'll take care of it," Edmund said. "Your only job is to keep your sister alive. No matter what it takes, make sure she survives!""I know," Elias answered. "I can't believe it… All this time we had the wrong person, and worse, we kept hurting her time and time again…" Edmund choked out. "She was right there before our ey

Edward was anxious. He had once convinced himself to let Macie go because he was afraid he couldn't protect her. However, now that the Hale family had claimed her as their own, no one would dare lay a hand on her again. So, he had no reason to give her up.Yet, before he could win her back, Elias appeared and stood in his way. It seemed as though he had to go through hell to win her back.Noticing that Elias was about to leave and refusing to listen to a single word he had said, Edward blurted out, "I never meant it! I never wanted to hurt Macie! I genuinely like her! You have to believe me, Elias!"Even he hadn't expected himself to call Elias by his first name. It just rolled off his tongue.That one word stopped Elias in his tracks, not because he was surprised, but because it sickened him to the core. He whipped around, his expression twisted with rage, and spat, "Scram! Call me by my name again, and I'll rip your tongue out!"Edward froze under the weight of his presence. Eli

When the call connected, Elias explained how the necklace and those memories had come about. "The reason Sharon could deceive us so easily without a hint of guilt or flaw in her story was that she knew Macie inside and out. The two of them grew up in the same orphanage, and that necklace belonged to Macie."Sharon is actually two years older. I did suspect her back then, but I still fell for her silver tongue. The records at the orphanage had been tampered with. This morning, I sent Mitch to retrieve Macie's records, but the director claimed that they were lost."After hearing that, the picture became clear for Edmund and Mira. There had been so many red flags, yet they had still been kept in the dark."Did you not suspect a thing when you realized that the records were tampered with?" Mira inquired.Elias answered, "I did have my suspicions, but the director told me that the orphanage had relocated several times and the records hadn't been digitized at the time. He claimed that th
