Ellinor leaned casually against the wall of the blood draw room, Tve always been in good health and I know my physical condition. I wonât have a big problem donating some blood fill just for it later, thanks for the concern, Mr. Howard*
Her face, however, was a tad pale Balfour frowned a hint of sarcasm tugged at the corner of his mouth, âMs Mendoza, you really donât care much about your healthâ
There was an irony in the words not caring much about your health coming out of his mouth Ellinor didnât care about Balfourâs sarcasm, she said earnestly, âMr. Howard, about the surgery, can I do it some other time while Iâm no weakling? I just had blood drawn, probably not the best time for a surgeryâ
Balfour looked at her, puzzled. âMs Mendoza, Youâre not gonna get what you want and then youâre gonna go back?â
Ellinor shrugged, flashed a smile, âIf you insist on the surgery now, I can try to roll with it, letâs go.â
Seeing her pale face, Balfour felt a strange mix of emotions, pity, reluctance, and a bit of heartacheâ¦
Why was he getting these feelings for a girl he didnât even like?
Balfour felt a little irked, he was silent for a moment, then waved it off, âAlright, letâs do it another day!
Youâve got a point, Ms. Mendoza, youâre not feeling well today Iâd bear some responsibility if anything goes wrong during the surgery! Letâs reschedule so I donât end up in troubleâ
Ellinor forced a smile, âThanks for understanding. Mr. Howard!â
âll take off nowâ Balfour straightened his clothes, and then added, âReturn to Greenhaven in three days, Iâll have someone contact you, find the best hospital, the best gynecologist to perform your surgery, to minimize the impact on your body and future fertility I hope, Ms Mendoza, youâll cooperate with the operation and do not find any excuses.â
Ellinor looked at him coldly. âYou can count on it, Mr. Howardâ
Balfour turned around and left, his steps graceful, but his expression stone cold He didnât give a damn about the life or death of the person he donated blood to, all he wanted was for the child in Ellinorâs belly to disappear forever, to fix a marriage problem for his sister Patricia Ellinor stood there in thought her hand subconsciously resting on her bellyâ¦
âMiss, are you alright?â
Her hand was grabbed by the little girl named Lea Reynolds.
Ellinor snapped back to reality, looked down at the little girl, âUm, Iâm fine âThatâs goodâ Miss, now that we have enough blood, is my mom safe?
âYes, your mother is safe now! Letâs go to the door of the emergency room and wait for your motherâ
