CHAPTER 16: CHAPTER 16: SHE’S PANDA BLOOD, AT RISK OF SHOCK

Aeston First Hospital.

Bianca Lynch walked back and forth anxiously.

Serena has panda blood. Previously, Serena mentioned wanting to terminate the pregnancy, and Bianca suggested preparing blood ahead of time as a precaution.

Not much time had passed since then, and the stock hadn’t been adjusted yet.

In case blood is needed...

Bianca and Serena had known each other since childhood.

When they were little, they played very well together.

Bianca was born into a family of medical practitioners and was exposed to pharmacology knowledge from a young age.

But many things she only knew from books or her parents’ words without deep understanding.

Until later.

Once, she and Serena sneaked out to play.

Bianca had loved thrills since young, and at that time, she secretly rode her brother’s big motorcycle to take Serena out for a spin.

With the big motorcycle and the beautiful Serena on it, she felt extremely cool.

The more they drove, the more reckless she became.

And then they crashed.

Bianca only suffered minor scratches herself, but Serena was thrown far away, hitting a rock and getting a huge gash on her leg.

The gash was really big.

Blood flowed everywhere.

Bianca was so scared, she immediately called an ambulance to take Serena for emergency treatment.

But the wound was too severe, combined with the fact they had gone to the outskirts for the ride, even the ambulance arrival was delayed.

By the time they reached the hospital, Serena had lost too much blood.

That was the first time Bianca understood the meaning of what Serena had told her about panda blood.

Rh-negative blood, which the small hospital didn’t have in stock.

Watching Serena fall into shock from blood loss.

Bianca cried, howling, calling her dad to save Serena.

Thankfully, Serena was saved at the end, something Bianca will remember for a lifetime.

Even now, there’s still a scar on Serena’s leg, despite several cosmetic treatments, the wound was too deep for the scar to completely fade.

Serena was afraid Bianca would feel guilty and took her to a tattoo shop together, where they each got sister tattoos on their scars.

"Serena..."

Thinking about it, Bianca dialed various acquaintances again.

"Yes, it’s me, Bianca Lynch..."

"Yes, I have a pregnant car crash patient here who might need help, very urgently!"

"Hello, is this the mutual aid association..."

"Okay, it’s best to have more people come, although there is no need yet, it’s better to be prepared!"

"Alright, thank you..."

After making several calls and confirming that all parties were actively responding, Bianca felt slightly at ease.

Bianca was still unclear about Serena’s condition, which made her very anxious.

To alleviate this anxiety, Bianca consulted a female police officer about the incident.

Upon learning the developments, Bianca was further shocked.

"You’re saying, someone is trying to murder Serena!"

But who could it be?

Bianca’s mind spun rapidly.

It could be an old grudge from the Sheridan Family.

Or perhaps because Serena is Julian Lawson’s wife, she was attacked due to The Lawson Corporation.

Even the recent online countdown to Vera Hansen’s death was escalating, there’s a possibility of extremists attacking Serena, Bianca had seen such situations.

Or work, daily friction, and many other possibilities.

The scope was too wide.

...

Inside the rescue room.

Serena’s awareness was cloudy.

She could only vaguely sense the surroundings.

She could feel someone seemed to be examining her.

There were various noises from the equipment around her.

Metallic, instrumental, all kinds of sounds.

Someone was talking as well.

Discontinuously, she couldn’t hear clearly.

She could only faintly make out words like "bleeding" and "pregnant woman."

The child...

Her child.

Serena remembered.

Using all her strength, Serena struggled to say, "Doctor... save my child."

She regretted it.

Before she fainted at the police station, the fear and sadness almost overwhelmed her.

She once wanted the child because she wanted a representation of her and Julian Lawson’s bond, a testament to their relationship.

Later, she gave up on Julian and thus the child.

But over the days, she felt the child’s presence and growth in her belly.

Gradually, she started to have doubts.

Until this time, about to lose it, she realized...

She felt so much reluctance and sorrow.

This child related to her by blood.

Just like the panda blood she inherited from her father.

Blood connection.

This is her child.

Unrelated to Julian Lawson.

This is her own child.

She wants to keep it!

...

Julian Lawson drove fast.

Vera Hansen in the passenger seat could only tightly hold the seatbelt.

She didn’t dare to say much.

Saying too much could be wrong; she believed her performance just now was enough.

But Julian Lawson...

Vera secretly glanced at Julian’s profile.

He seemed just like always, but his tightly pursed lips, hands gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white, betrayed his current emotions.

Julian still cared about Serena meeting someone!

Vera withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and pretended to be frail, but her mind was racing.

The car soon arrived at Aeston First Hospital.

Julian Lawson opened the car door and got out.

Vera quickly opened the door too, but as she got out, she "splattered" blood again.

"It’s okay." Vera wiped the "blood" from her mouth and weakly said, "I’m supposed to be dying. Brother Julian, go see Serena first."

Julian’s brows furrowed, filled with worry.

But Vera pushed him towards the hospital.

Looking as if she would disregard her own health for Serena.

Julian’s lips pressed tightly together, and finally, he said, "I’ll go check on her first, take care of yourself."

"Mm." Vera nodded.

And then she watched as Julian headed towards the hospital.

Vera immediately took out her phone, studying the information on it carefully.

Julian strode towards the hospital, his steps quickening until he broke into a run.

He himself hadn’t noticed how panicked he was.

After inquiring and locating Serena’s room, he was just about to go in but was blocked by Bianca Lynch guarding the entrance.

Julian’s brow furrowed tightly.

"What’s her condition?" Julian asked.

But Bianca didn’t answer immediately; she simply looked him up and down warily.

"What’s wrong?" Julian suppressed his irritation and asked patiently.

Bianca recalled what the female officer had told her, suspicious if Julian, wanting to marry Vera quickly, feared Serena wouldn’t divorce him, thus wanted to kill her?

Especially since the female officer had called him many times using Serena’s phone, and he hadn’t answered.

However, Bianca didn’t know how to ask.

Seeing Julian’s impatience, she tentatively asked, "Julian Lawson, must you marry Vera Hansen without waiting a day?"

Julian glanced at her: "What do you mean?"

Bianca was unsure how to respond.

Seeing Bianca still hesitant, Julian could no longer control his urgency: "Get out of the way!"
