His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 46

Aaron knew exactly what Eliza was getting at. He gently wrapped her hand in the bandage. "Jeffrey's body is really giving out."

"So, when do you need to take my blood?"

Aaron was caught off guard and looked up. "Who told you we needed your blood?"

"Do you even need to ask?" she replied. She couldn’t have children, and the Welton family didn't want to lose Jeffrey. Using her blood seemed like the only option. "I just want to know when."

"You and Casper need to hurry up and have a child. There's still time."

"It's impossible for him and me to have children." Aaron knew her condition. "Aaron, if you really need my blood, does that mean I won't survive?"

In medicine, nothing was certain. But completely replacing someone's blood could very likely mean...

"If it’s a life for a life, would you be willing to go through with it?" he asked, staring into her eyes.

Eliza sighed. "Do I really have a choice?"

"What if you did have a choice?"

"I wouldn’t want to."

Wasn’t every life valuable? But how could her insignificant life escape the clutches of those in power?

Aaron didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, he just said, "You need to trust Casper. He won’t let something so absurd happen."

In the hospital room, Tristan was fuming, taking in Zach's battered up face after he'd been beaten to a mess. He yelled at Casper in front of Jeffrey and his wife Audrey.
