Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 717

Tarquin halted in his tracks, "What's up?"

Elysia was frowning deeply, her breath coming in short gasps. He was Elliot's biological father, a direct relative!

Transfusions between close family members could easily lead to a graft-versus-host disease, a potentially fatal reaction to blood transfusion.

That's why hospitals generally advise against blood donations from close kin. Too risky!

"Does someone need O-negative blood? I'm O-negative!"

Keith suddenly appeared, rushing over breathlessly. After saying that, he turned to Elysia as if surprised,

"What are you guys doing here? Who's in trouble?"

Elysia, overwhelmed with emotion, didn't even care about their past grievances and hurriedly asked in a hoarse voice,

"Keith, you're O-negative?"

"Yeah, I'm O-negative. Came in for some minor cuts, and when the nurse mentioned the emergency room needed O-negative blood urgently, I just ran over. Didn't expect to run into you guys. What happened? Who’s hurt?"

Elysia's eyes were red with tears,

"Elliot! The doctor said he urgently needs blood, but the blood bank’s running low."

"Don't worry, I’m O-negative and healthy, fit for donation!"

After saying that, Keith turned to the nurse, "Where do I go? How do we do this?"

The nurse quickly responded, "Follow me, please."

"You're not alone," Keith reassured Elysia, then hurried after the nurse.

Tarquin’s temper flared, pushing Keith away, "Back off! We don't need your help!"

He was well aware that Elliot's accident had something to do with Keith. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he would’ve already thrown a punch at Keith's face!

To think he'd hurt a child and now shows up pretending to care, he had no good intentions!

Tarquin glared at Keith with a warning, "I've got no time for you now. You'd better keep your distance and think about what's coming to you!"
