Perhaps it was just as Avery had said. He was not worthy of raising children or being a father!
With his own life in shambles, how was he supposed to care for a child?
By the time Wesley rushed over, only Mike and Chad were left waiting at the neonatal unit.
"What's that, Wesley?" Mike asked when he noticed the case Wesley was holding.
The words "Blood Transfusion Kit" was printed on the case.
"Blood," Wesley responded, then made his way toward the attending doctor's office.
Mike and Chad followed him.
"Is that blood that Robert could use? Is it that RH negative stuff?"
"Yes, but there isn't much," Wesley said.
Mike and Chad were dumbfounded.
"Where did you manage to get it, Wesley?"
Wesley did not answer that question. His heart was heavy.
When he asked Shea if she was willing to donate blood to Robert, she nodded her head without hesitation.
After that, he ran a series of basic tests to see if Shea was in suitable condition to donate blood.
The results showed that she was not in good shape.
Wesley regretted bringing this matter up to Shea because she had insisted on donating her blood to Robert when she found out that she could save him.
Wesley could not argue against her and ended up drawing a quarter of a pint of blood first.
After getting her blood drawn, Shea's complexion instantly turned pale.
Wesley quickly took her home before rushing to the hospital with the blood.
After he handed the blood over to the doctor, Mike and Chad surrounded him and asked, "Where did you get the blood, Wesley? We didn't hear anything about a source being found!"
Wesley gave them the excuse he had come up with earlier and said, "A good Samaritan donated it at my dad's hospital."
"Don't thank me. You should thank the blood donor." Wesley glanced around them, then asked, "Where are Avery and Elliot?"
"Avery isn't in good shape, so she went home to rest. Mr. Foster got a call earlier. It seemed like it was something urgent, so he left," said Chad. "I'll call him right now.
He'll be relieved when he finds out we got the blood."
Wesley turned slightly to the side as his expression turned heavy. He did not dare face Elliot. He could not imagine how he would react if he found out that the blood came from Shea.
Over at the Starry River Villa, Elliot's phone rang as he got out of the car.
When he answered the call and heard what Chad told him, the tightness between his brows loosened.
It was as if a ray of light had appeared before him.
He strode into the villa's living room.
"Wesley was the one who brought the blood over. He said a good Samaritan donated it at his father's hospital. He left after sending the blood," Chad reported. "The doctor is testing the blood right now. If it's a match, they'll immediately start the blood transfusion for Robert."
Elliot had no doubts, and let out a long sigh of relief.
