Chapter 296: Chapter 296
"Family of the patient? Is the patient’s family here? The situation is not very good right now, the car accident caused a lot of bleeding, and we need to perform an emergency blood transfusion for the patient. But she has a rare blood type, and the hospital’s blood bank does not currently have it."
Hearing this, Conrad Sterling immediately called the local Crestlight Hospital.
He inquired if their blood bank had matching blood for Anna Thornton. If they did, it needed to be urgently transferred.
However, Anna is a rare blood type, usually deficient in blood banks, and finding it temporarily is a bit challenging.
Lola immediately jumped off the chair and held up her arm high to the nurse.
"Little one, are you a rare blood type too?"
"How old are you? You have to be eighteen to blood."
"I’m already eighteen!" Lola patted her chest, "Really!"
"Uh... that’s still not allowed!" The nurse looked at this obviously three or four-year-old child, amused and helpless, "You’re not even heavy enough! Have your dad take you and wait obediently over there."
Because Lola said he was also a rare blood type, Conrad Sterling couldn’t help but glance at him.
Previously, Conrad brought Anna Thornton to the hospital, not paying attention to him.
This little kid climbed into his car on his own and followed him to the hospital.
The nurse pushed Lola towards Conrad Sterling, but the little guy refused to wait any longer.
His eyes were fixed on the operating room, and his little face turned pale with worry.
The previous car accident had scared Lola, not because he was afraid of Holly Sutton, but because he saw Anna Thornton bleeding a lot while protecting him.
It was the first time the little guy showed such an expression and hasn’t recovered since, like a frightened little beast wanting to rush into the operating room regardless.
"The surgery isn’t over, you can’t go in now!"
"My mom is in there."
The nurse didn’t know where the kid got such strength, almost failing to stop Lola.
Luckily, at the critical moment, a big hand suddenly picked Lola up by the collar, like grabbing a kitten, and moved him aside.
Lola struggled and resisted in Conrad Sterling’s hand, just a little leopard showing its teeth and claws. His eyes emitted a cold light, angrily staring down Conrad, not intimidated at all.
"How do you know your blood type matches?" Conrad Sterling looked at Lola suspiciously, "And, who allowed you to say the person inside is your mother?"
Lola didn’t answer Conrad Sterling’s questions, nor was he in the mood.
The little guy clenched both his fists tightly, staring at the direction of the surgery room, worried to the point of petrification.
Conrad Sterling looked at his small but always tense body, for a moment seeing his former self.
"Don’t want to answer me? Then I’ll change the question, do you know direct relatives can’t blood directly to each other?"
Hearing this, Lola looked back at Conrad Sterling, seemingly unaware.
He still refused to speak to President Sterling, turning his back against him in rejection.
However, Conrad Sterling noticed the little guy quietly rolled down the sleeve he had pulled up to blood, covering his fair, tender arm.
"Excuse me, who is the family of Anna Thornton?"
The doctor came out of the operating room, taking off his mask and inquired, Conrad Sterling and Lola stepped forward together.
"The patient suffered a concussion due to the head impact, and we recommend staying in the hospital for observation for two weeks after waking up. The main external injury is the wound on the arm, which has been bandaged and stitched. Post-operative care should be taken care of by the family."
"Wasn’t there an urgent need for a blood transfusion?" Conrad Sterling asked.
"Uh, that was another patient, there might have been a mix-up."
Several car accidents occurred in Veridia today, with all operating rooms performing surgeries simultaneously.
Conrad Sterling and Lola were both overly concerned, making them both mistake the situation.
The other patient was lucky too, as Anna only suffered minor injuries, while the blood source transferred by President Sterling was used perfectly on someone else.
Pushed into the ward, it was unclear how long she laid there before Anna Thornton regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a worried little face.
Lola was lying on the hospital bed, nervously counting Anna Thornton’s eyelashes over and over.
Finally, Anna Thornton’s eyes opened slightly, but before they fully focused, she closed them again.
The little hand grabbed Anna Thornton’s clothes, daring not to touch anywhere else, but wanting to wake her for fear she’d fall asleep again, gently rubbed her ear.
"Conrad Sterling, I dreamed of that child calling me mom again! This time the dream was clearer, I saw the baby’s face."
Seeing Anna Thornton mumbling in her half-asleep state, Conrad Sterling used a cotton swab to moisten her lips and fed her water, "If you open your eyes now, reality might be even better than the dream."
Anna Thornton opened her eyes again, turning her head aside upon seeing Conrad Sterling: "Liar! How can reality be wonderful with you in it?"
Conrad Sterling: "..."
"Baby, are you hurt?" Anna Thornton tried to raise her hand to stroke Lola’s head, but felt her hand had gone numb and couldn’t move. Dıscover more novels at novèlfire.net
"Then why are you crying?"
It was the first time Anna Thornton had seen Lola shed tears and couldn’t help but feel heartache.
"Sorry, did I scare you? Conrad Sterling, take Lola to have something to eat, and send him home, I’m fine here."
Luckily, at the critical moment, Anna Thornton held the child tightly in her arms. Seeing that Lola was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, hearing this, Lola clung tightly to Anna Thornton’s hospital gown, refusing to go anywhere, unwilling to let Conrad Sterling hold him or even touch Anna Thornton.
This situation had lasted three or four hours from when Anna Thornton was brought out of the operating room, Lola had been guarding her without leaving for a second.
Just now, as the nurse came to change a bandage, Lola’s expression was so tense. Like a little beast protecting its prey, guarding his cherished possession amid hunger and cold.
Even pushing President Sterling aside.
Yes, Anna Thornton realized Conrad Sterling was acting strange too.
Such a jealous man, wouldn’t he have minded a lot that Anna Thornton doted on Lola? Now being pushed away to a place a meter outside the ward, even having the job of feeding Anna Thornton water taken over by Lola, he surprisingly had no objections?
What Anna Thornton didn’t know was, within the three to four hours she was unconscious, Conrad Sterling and Lola had a confrontation.
Conrad Sterling, to force Lola to answer his questions, used his size advantage, locking Lola outside the ward not allowing him to see Anna Thornton.
No matter how hard Lola pounded the door outside, he remained unmoved.
The certain CEO antagonistically declared, "The one lying inside is my wife, I can take care of her. Who are you to?"
Later Lola, pushed to the limit, took out a paternity test with Anna Thornton from his little backpack and threw it at Conrad Sterling’s face...
Of course, not tall enough to hit his face, the little arms could only slap the paternity test on Conrad Sterling’s leg.
President Sterling picked it up and examined it, later verifying its authenticity.
After verification, confirming it wasn’t faked, Lola was finally allowed to pass.
The paternity test was done using the hair Lola collected from Anna Thornton that day, comparing it with his own hair.
The result confirmed that they indeed had a mother-son relationship.
Now it was Lola’s turn to assert his position, the one on the hospital bed was his mother.
And the condition of taking out the paternity test was demanding that Conrad Sterling was not allowed within two steps of Anna Thornton.
So, it turned into the current situation.
"Are you two hiding something from me?"
Anna Thornton sensed something was wrong and cast her gaze to Conrad Sterling, waiting online for an explanation.
