Raelynn didn't say anything else.
The light above the operating room flicked on.
However, less than a few minutes later, the doors swung open again.
Nurses hurried in and out.
Then, a doctor emerged, his expression grave as he addressed them. "The child's condition is much more complicated than we anticipated. She's lost too much blood and has absolutely no ability to clot on her own. Given her young age, her requirements for plasma are incredibly strict. The standard plasma in our hospital isn't sufficient for her needs. We lack the high-concentration clotting factors. If we use what we have, it will trigger severe side effects."
Raelynn stared blankly.
She knew Lily had incredibly strict blood requirements. Because of her congenital condition, Raelynn had never let Lily get a single scratch growing up.
The consequences were truly catastrophic.
But now, the bleeding wouldn't stop, the blood loss was massive, and the child could easily go into shock.
And the blood bank didn't have what they needed.
Her ears rang loudly.
Even as an immediate family member, she couldn't donate blood.
Because doing so would trigger massive, fatal hemolysis.
Even Ian paled. "Are there any other options? Can you request higher-grade plasma from somewhere else?"
The doctor looked conflicted. "We can only try to coordinate with other hospitals, but that process will be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Right now, time is the one thing we absolutely don't have..."
Even if the wounds weren't inherently fatal.
The child's underlying condition was.
In that split second, a sudden clarity pierced Raelynn's mind.
Immediate family was out, but what about extended family?
Before, this thought would have sent her spiraling, but now, maybe...
Could Julian do it?
The idea violently surfaced in her brain.
But before she could act on it, a low, faint voice drifted from behind them. "I'll handle the plasma. It will be here in ten minutes."
Raelynn whipped her head around.
Ian turned as well.
Likely due to his injuries, the pain, and the trauma to his head, he couldn't speak very loudly. He forced his tone to remain as steady as possible.
Ian snapped out of it.
He immediately started issuing orders. "Head upstairs and wait right now."
The medical staff scrambled into action.
After giving the order, Ian's eyes darkened as he stared at Sebastian.
Raelynn turned and walked toward Sebastian, her breathing erratic. He sat in the wheelchair, watching her approach him.
Raelynn stared fixedly at him, her voice hoarse and trembling. "How... how do you know what kind of plasma she needs?"
Sebastian hadn't even asked what kind of plasma was required.
Or what the specifications were.
He had just already contacted someone to deliver it.
The implication of that...
Sent a terrifying chill down her spine.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
