Chapter 490


    Yuna’s face fell instantly as Manley’s scream echoed through the sterile corridors of the hospital.


    “Yuck! I don’t want his filthy blood! Mommy, I don’t want it, please!”


    If Manley kept this up, pretty soon the whole hospital would know she was nning to use the blood of


    Hayes for her precious boy. They had only bribed thepliance of the head of the hematology


    department, and if word got out, it could reach Frederick’s ears.


    Taking a deep breath, Yuna tried to pacify her son with a calcted tenderness.


    “Okay, okay sweetie, Mommy promises we won’t use Hayes’ blood for your transfusion! Now, go back


    to your room before Grandma worries herself sick looking for you.”


    At that, Manley’s fears seemed to subside. He threw a wary nce at Hayes and, with a haughty tilt of


    his chin, strutted off.


    Hmph! He had just saved that little mute’s life!


    When he got better, he’d make sure that mute thanked him properly!


    Once Manley had left theb, the intern turned to Yuna.


    “Ms. Lockwood, I’ll just go and confirm the arrangements with that adult donor, and we can schedule


    the transfusion for Manley as soon as possible.”


    Yuna’s expression turned icy, “Forget it, we’ll use Hayes’ blood.”


    The intern, puzzled, replied, “But… I thought we agreed…”


    “I consulted with your department head yesterday. There’s no risk of rejection between twins. Do you


    really think I’d risk my son’s life with some stranger’s blood?”


    “Our department head told you this?”


    “Yes!”


    The intern was in disbelief. Manley was her son, but wasn’t Hayes too? How could a three-year-old


    possibly endure such arge volume blood exchange? Yet, if the department head had approved it,


    what could a mere intern do? She reluctantly agreed, “Alright… I’ll go prepare everything.”


    As she moved to leave, Yuna’s grip tightened on her arm, pulling her close. Towering in her high heels,


    Yuna’s presence was menacing.


    With venom in her voice, she whispered a warning, “Keep your mouth shut. If you breathe a word of


    this to anyone, you’ll regret it.”


    The intern nodded, her eyes wide with fear, fully aware of the power of the Winston family to which


    Yuna belonged.


    Half an hourter, Yuna escorted Hayes into the treatment room. Hey on the cold, metallic bed, a mix


    of fear, nervousness, and a profound sense of abandonment washing over him. Even though there


    were other options for Manley, why was his mother so insistent on using his blood?


    As the intern returned, a consent form in hand, “Ms. Lockwood, due to the unusual circumstances, you,


    as Hayes’ guardian, need to sign this waiver.


    Yuna was incredulous. “It’s just a blood draw, not surgery. Is all this really necessary?”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    The intern, despite her unease, stood firm. “Hospital policy requires consent from the guardian for any


    procedure on a minor, be it surgery or a blood donation. Without it, we cannot proceed.”


    Yuna was fuming. She had already sorted everything with the head of the department; none of this


    should be necessary. Where did this dumb interne from.


    Just wait. Once she got what she wanted from Hayes, this intern would pay.


    But with the department head on her side, the waiver was as good as meaningless. So, without further


    thought, Yuna grabbed the pen and scrawled her signature across the document.
