The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 648

"The patient and I are strangers. I just so happen to pass by here and am willing to donate my blood," Corinne replied.

The doctor was awed by her generosity. "It's certainly rare to come across someone as kind as you nowadays. Quick, take this kind of samaritan to do a blood test. You have my permission to collect her blood once the result comes back clear."

"Yes, Doctor Kingsley," said the nurse with a nod.

Corinne followed the nurse to the blood collection room. She brought Lilin along with her because she was worried the little girl would start crying outside the emergency ward again. Lilin knew Corinne was going to donate blood to her mother, so she docilely followed her to the blood collection room. The little girl never so much as made a peep along the way.

After collecting a sample of Corinne's blood, the nurse immediately sent it to the lab for testing. Her result came back with the confirmation of Corinne being Rh-negative so the nurse got ready to collect more of her blood for the transfusion.

Corinne sat there, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her arm for the nurse to plunge the needle in. The nurse inserted the needle into her vein and the transparent tube was instantly filled with blood.

After a while, the nurse noticed something was wrong so she asked worriedly, "Ma'am, are you okay? You don't look too good. Is there any medical history I should know about?"

Corinne shook her head. "No. I'm perfectly healthy though I am two months pregnant."

The nurse was shocked. "What? You're pregnant? Oh no! You can't donate your blood then."

She then quickly ripped off the tube and pressed a cotton ball onto Corinne's wound.

"It's okay. I'm confident about my health. A little blood donation wouldn't hurt me or the baby. Please continue," Corinne assured the nurse.

The nurse wanted to comfort her but she did not want to lie to her either. She sighed helplessly and said, "If we can't find enough blood, your mommy might not-"

"Hey Lilin, don't worry. Your mommy is going to be fine. I'm going to make sure she'll get all the blood she needs, okay?" interjected Corinne.

The nurse was surprised. She looked at Corinne with disbelief. 'Is she for real? Or is she just trying to make her feel better?'

Lilin's eyes immediately lit up; gone was the despair from her little face. "Really? Are you going to find some blood for my mommy?"

Corinne patted her gently on the head and said, "Yup. I've never lied to anyone so just wait here for me to come back, okay?"

Corinne did not blame the nurse for doing her job. The nurse only meant well after all and everyone knew how dangerous it would be for a pregnant lady to donate blood.
