Chapter 285

"The patient is Xavier Stapleton." Hugo Lee emphasized, his gaze sweeping over Evelyn Sinclair. "RH negative blood. Don't make any mistakes."

The doctor frowned at the test results. "But—"

"Execute immediately!" The hospital director cut him off sharply. "Get the blood from the bank now."

Turning to Hugo, the director plastered on an obsequious smile. "Mr. Lee, shall we check on the patient?"

Before leaving, Hugo shot Evelyn a triumphant look.

"Doctor!" Evelyn stopped the medical staff. "My colleague is also RH negative. Can you—"

"Sorry," the doctor shook his head. "We only have one bag of blood, and—"

"These are two lives!"

"Please contact his family immediately." The doctor hurried away. "Direct relatives have higher matching probabilities."

The hallway was now empty except for Evelyn and Old Lewis.

"Young Madam..."

"Uncle Lewis," Evelyn lowered her voice. "Remember the hospital where I had my prenatal checkups?"

Old Lewis nodded.

"I'll call them to arrange a blood transfer," Evelyn spoke rapidly. "You need to personally retrieve it."

"Why not have them deliver it directly?"

"No." Evelyn's eyes sharpened. "Hugo's people will intercept it."

She quickly dialed the number and made the arrangements.

"Uncle Lewis, meet them halfway. Be careful."

Evelyn stared at the red light above the operating room.

She should have transferred Roman Young to another hospital.

But some truths had to be uncovered here.

The resemblance between Madam Zade and Roman was unsettling.

The workplace ostracization Roman faced, Xavier's viciousness today—

It was all too suspicious.

Commotion suddenly erupted at the end of the hallway.

Vincent Sullivan strode in with his assistant.

"Mr. Sullivan!" A doctor rushed forward. "Your son is out of danger."

Evelyn's pupils constricted.

So soon?

Xavier never needed that blood!

"Mr. Sullivan!" She stood abruptly.

"Vincent!" Hugo appeared out of nowhere. "Xavier has been asking for you."

Vincent's eyes flickered between them.

"Xavier already received the transfusion," Evelyn interjected. "Mr. Sullivan, what's your blood type?"

"None of your business!" Hugo snapped.

Evelyn ignored him completely. "Mr. Sullivan, my colleague is dying. He's also RH negative—"

"What's his name?" Vincent suddenly asked.

"Vincent!" Hugo was sweating now. "Don't listen to her nonsense!"

"Mr. Lee stole the only available blood," Evelyn stood her ground. "Are you really going to let my colleague die?"

"You—"

"Let her finish." Vincent waved a hand.

"His name is Roman Young," Evelyn watched Vincent closely. "From Guangming Village, Chiyuan County, Province C."

Vincent visibly stiffened.

"Guangming Village? The surname Young?"

"Xavier is waiting!" Hugo's voice trembled.

Evelyn grabbed Vincent's sleeve. "Please, save him!"

Hugo moved to shove her away.

Vincent blocked him. "Which characters for his name?"

"Epitaph's 'Ming,' dawn's 'Chen.'"

After two seconds of silence, Vincent rolled up his sleeve. "Take me to him."

"Vincent!" Hugo turned ashen. "At your age—"

"Move." Vincent's voice was ice.
