Blood was the essence of life. According to Essie's grandfather, Essie guessed that more than half of Lothar's blood was infected and had to be removed.
However, it just so happened that he couldn't use other people's blood to replenish the blood in his body like they did in the hospital. Thus, Lothar's appearance will change a little due to his lack of blood.
However, this was the only way that his life could be saved.
After saying goodbye to Essie, Selina went to ten other hospitals.
She went through 10 ultrasound scans.
Each time, there was no problem with her ultrasound, but the doctors who did her ultrasound all had confusion written across their faces.
They told Selina that they had a niggling feeling that there was something wrong with her baby, yet the results showed the opposite.
Even the doctors didn't know what was going on.
After the tenth ultrasound, Selina stopped. She sat on the hospital bench and buried her head in her knees.
She had grown up in the United States and had never believed in such mystical or spiritual things.
Until this day. She had no choice but to believe.
It turned out that there really was something in the world that could defy all human's logic.
What could she do now?
The phone suddenly rang.
Selina took out her phone.
It was a call from Matthew.
She stared at his name on the caller ID and let the phone ring for some time before she picked it up.
"Selina, where are you?" Matthew's gentle voice could be heard.
However, his gentle voice contained a trace of imperceptible tension.
Selina looked around at her surroundings in a daze.
She was in the hospital.
She hated coming to the hospital.
"I'm at my mom's house." This sentence came out of her mouth.
"I am with your family now."
Selina froze.
She sniffed. "I felt bored, so I went shopping. I'm on Ten Miles Street now."
The hospital was near Ten Miles Street.
"Then, I'll pick you up."
"Okay." Selina hung up the phone.
She stood up.
Every step required enormous amounts of energy from her. She felt so lethargic that it felt as if she would fall down at any moment.
When she walked to the hospital exit, she spotted a full-body length mirror.
She subconsciously walked towards the mirror.
She was shocked when she saw her reflection.
Her face was as pale as a ghost's.
She suddenly reached out and hit her face. The people passing by glared at her as if she was mentally ill.
Selina ignored it.
She continued to hit her face. Each hit got harder and heavier.
Finally, her face turned red from being hit.
Others might think that her complexion was just ruddy if they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Her fingertips tingled as she put down her hand.
Then, she walked out of the hospital.
There was a strong wind blowing outside.
It was obviously not autumn, but the wind was so strong that Selina's hair flew with the wind.
Wisps of hair kept flying into Selina's face.
Selina's mind was fuddled.
Her train of thought was interrupted by the wisps of hair attacking her face.
"Creak."
Suddenly, the sound of a car brake could be heard.
"Selina." Matthew rolled down the window.
Selina continued walking as if she had not heard Matthew.
