I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 562

But this time, Hayden didn't entertain Nita's wild theories.

"Zoe might be incredibly stubborn, but there is no way those kids belong to anyone else."

Nita ground her teeth in furious frustration.

"Did you just go deaf? The doctor literally just said that direct relatives cannot donate blood to each other!"

"Haven't you read the news? Some billionaire tried swapping blood with his biological son, and now his health is completely destroyed. Holden is Charles's biological son. If Lily is truly yours and Zoe's, then how on earth could her blood have saved Holden back then?"

Hayden refused to validate her logic.

"I have nothing to do with Zoe anymore. I will not allow her daughter to be used as a blood bag for Holden. The blood collected by this hospital is perfectly fine."

Nita stared at him in utter shock. "Nothing to do with her? What does that mean? You two are legally married! If Holden's life is on the line, it is Zoe's absolute duty to be here."

"Besides, this entire disaster was caused by her miserable daughter! Lily beat Holden to a pulp and landed him in the hospital! Does she think she can just walk away without facing the consequences?"

"You are Lily's father, which gives you the ultimate authority. You are also Holden's Uncle Hayden, and you owe it to him to make this right."

"No matter what it takes, you must bring Lily here."

Nita's demands were aggressively absolute.

"No. It's completely unnecessary. I've already signed the divorce papers with her. She belongs with the Kendall family now..."

Neither Sienna nor Nita ever imagined a day would come when Hayden wouldn't actively weaponize his power against Zoe.

Sienna was genuinely shell-shocked.

The primary reason she had fought so fiercely against using the blood bank was that she had sensed Hayden treating Zoe and Lily with a newfound, troubling leniency.

"Hayden, I absolutely forbid Holden to—"

"There's an underlying issue here," Hayden interrupted smoothly. "The hospital's blood samples go through rigorous, multi-layered screening. It's statistically impossible for them to be contaminated. As for how Holden contracted a blood infection? I'll have the hospital launch a full investigation."

Sienna's hands curled into tight fists against her knees. She bit down on her lower lip until she tasted copper.

Hayden had never acted like this before. Back when Lily used to donate blood to Holden, Hayden had never shown this level of protective resistance.

"Hayden, please, I can't bear to let Holden take any more risks. Lily is the only one who can save him. I'm begging you, just bring Lily here."
