When a person was in extreme difort, they would be intensely self-centered. I was so ufortable that I couldn''t think of anything else and kept scratching myself. "What does it have to do with me?"


    Even when I was in such pain, I wasn''t about to turn into a saint who would sacrifice myself for others.


    Thud-


    She suddenly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Please, you''re not in any serious condition. Just save my daughter, will you?"


    Everyone in the infusion room looked over in astonishment.


    At that moment, she was a desperate mother, deeply worried about her daughter''s life.


    And I was perceived as a cold-hearted viin who refused to help save a life just because I had a small problem.


    "No."


    looked at her coldly and said to Jane, "Jane, call the police. Mrs. Shaw is deliberately obstructing medical care and is suspected of attempted murder."


    Compared to how others see me, my own life was more important.


    Who was Lily?


    The eldest daughter of the Shaw family. Apart from Mrs. Shaw begging me here, everyone from the Shaw and Smith families would be exhausting all their resources to find a blood source. If I didn''t help, she still wouldn''t be in danger.


    To take it a step further, even if she were truly in danger, I couldn''t just trade my life for hers.


    Giving blood while having an allergic reaction could lead to shock or even death.


    I wasn''t that noble.


    "Mom! Stop wasting your time talking to her!"


    Bethany arrived in high heels, finally getting the chance to take revenge for the humiliation at the banquet. She said to the bodyguards, "What are you standing around for? Just seize her and draw her blood!" "Let me go!" I was already ufortable and could hardly struggle.


    Jane''s eyes were red with urgency. She desperately tried to stop them but couldn''t. "Bethany! This is illegal. If anything happens to Charlotte, can you be responsible?" "Law? Maybe you should see who''s really in charge in Jeswood!"


    Bethany, full of arrogance, then ordered the remaining bodyguards, "Go check all the phones of these people in the infusion room. Delete any videos if they''re recording." She also pointed at Jane. "And keep her from interfering."


    She used her power to the utmost.


    Soon, I was taken to the blood transfusion area. To prevent me from resisting or calling for help, they even bound me to the chair and gagged me.


    Bethany smiled eerily, leaned in, and seemingly with hidden meaning said, "Charlotte, you''re really fortunate. Unfortunately, God is fair, always letting someone like me, who has nothing, control your life."


    "Get on with it!"


    She squinted her eyes and said to the medical staff, "If you don''t start, if anything happens to my sister,'' don''t think you can stay in Jeswood!"


    Outside, there were more urgent footsteps.


    It was Madam Shaw''s voice. "Have you found a kind-hearted person willing to donate blood for Lily so quickly?"


    Mrs. Shaw smiled. "Yes, don''t worry. Lily''s suffering is over, and heaven is watching over her."


    Suddenly, the ropes binding my legs to the chair loosened. As the nurse was about to insert the needle into my vein, I kicked at the mobile medical cart with all my might.N?velDrama.Org content.


    A loud crash drew attention from outside.


    "Isn''t the person inside volunteering to donate blood?"


    It was Frank.


    "Mr. Smith, they''ve kidnapped Charlotte!! She''s still having an allergic reaction, and donating blood could kill her!" Jane, having somehow escaped from the guards, suddenly appeared, her voice growing louder as she approached.
