Chapter 11


    ra’s delicate face twisted with a mock smirk. “And what makes you think I haven’t been


    through it? What if I just lost 2000 milliliters of blood? Would you still have me donate to


    her?”


    “ra, cut the drama,n snapped. “At most, a woman loses about 60 milliliters during her


    period. If you’re going to make excuses, at least make them believable.”


    A bitter smile tugged at ra’s lips. She couldn’t have made it clearer, yet he refused to


    believe her.


    Even a little concern from him would have prompted him to ask. If he knew her at all, he


    would understand she wasn’t the type to leave someone in the lurch.


    That was the difference between love and indifference.


    A mere scratch on Heidi had sent him into a panic. Yet, he hadn’t noticed at all when ra


    had gone through a dangerous miscarriage.


    Amidst her heartache, ra’s eyes caught sight of a figure at the door of the hospital room.


    She froze in ce. The day ra had her miscarriage, she had seen a shadow during her


    moment of unconsciousness. A man’s gentle and low call echoed in her ears. When she


    forced her eyes open, she had seen the very man standing before her now.


    She remembered clutching his arm tightly, pleading in a whisper, “Please, save me.”


    When she awoke, Sasha told her a handsome guy with sses had brought her in.


    With a self–deprecatingugh, ra approached the man identified as Edwin. “Are you


    Heidi’s brother?” she asked softly.


    Edwin nodded slightly, his voice soothing. “Ms. ra, if there’s anything wrong with your


    health, I can-”


    ra closed her eyes in resignation. Fate sure had a twisted sense of humor. The very


    man she had wanted to thank for saving her life turned out to be Heidi’s brother.


    With a wry smile, she said, “Mr. Edwin, may I have a word with you in private?”


    Just as she was about to lead Edwin to the nearby stairwell,n’s grip tightened around her


    wrist. “What do you need him for? Can’t you say whatever it is in front of me?”


    ra scoffed, “Why should you be privy to my words?”


    ‘Since when did you be so unreasonable, ra?”


    “Is it me who’s unreasonable, or is it you who’s heartless?” Without waiting forn’s


    response, she broke free from his grasp.

    Undern’s icy stare, she took Edwin aside. ra’s usually vibrant face was now pale.


    Looking up at Edwin’s handsome features, she began, “Mr. Edwin, I haven’t had the


    chance to thank you for saving my life that day. Little did I know I’d get the opportunity to


    repay you so soon. Don’t worry, I will donate blood for your sister. But I have a condition–I


    need you to keep the fact that you saved me a secret.”


    A look of concern shed across Edwin’s face. The baby wasn’s, wasn’t it?”


    ra smiled faintly. “Whose it was doesn’t matter anymore. It’s gone. I just don’t want this


    to affect my decision.”


    All she knew was that she didn’t want any moreplications. She wanted to get away


    fromn as soon as possible.

    Edwin’s eyes darkened. He seemed to see a glimpse of a mother in ra’s expression.


    With a slight catch in his voice, he asked, “But you lost a lot of blood that day, and it hasn’t


    been long. Are you sure you can handle


    this?”


    1. ra’s lips curved into a mirthless smile. “That’s my concern. I just want to repay your


    kindness and be done with it. After that, we don’t owe each other anything.”
