Chapter 11 Blood Donation as a Way of Repaying Kindness
Sebastian's eyes froze. He looked coldly at Joey and said, "If you don't care about your life, you can give it a try."
A hint of mockery appeared on Joey's delicate face as she replied, "And how do you know I haven't tried? What if I just lost 2000CC of blood? Would you still ask me to donate to her?"
"Joey, don't be unreasonable. The maximum blood loss during menstruation is only about 60CC. If you're looking for excuses, at least come up with a reasonable one."
Joey smiled bitterly. She had made it so clear, but he still didn't believe her. Even if he cared a little more about her, he would have asked. Even if he knew her a little, he would have known that she wouldn't stand by and watch someone die. That's the difference between love and indifference.
A small cut on Isabella's hand had made him so flustered, yet he hadn't even noticed the dangerous miscarriage she had gone through. As Joey felt the pain in her heart, she saw that person's figure at the door of the ward. Joey stood there, stunned.
In her unconscious state, she had seen a figure and heard a man's gentle and deep voice calling out to her. She forced her eyes open and saw the man in front of her. She remembered it clearly, holding onto his arms tightly, she pleaded in a low voice, "Please, save me."
When she woke up, Sophia told her that she had been brought in by a handsome man with glasses. Joey laughed at herself. She walked over to Theodore and asked softly, "Are you Isabella's brother?"
Theodore nodded lightly and replied in a warm voice, "Miss Blackwood, if you have any health issues, I can..."
Joey closed her eyes in resignation. Fate truly had it in for her. The person she had always wanted to thank for saving her life turned out to be Isabella's brother. She smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Vale, can we talk in private?"
As she was about to lead Theodore to the nearby staircase, Sebastian grabbed her wrist. "What do you want to say to him? Can't you say it in front of me?"
Joey sneered. "Do you deserve to know if I say it in front of you?"
"Joey, when did you become so unreasonable?"
"Am I being unreasonable, or are you lacking empathy?"
With that, she didn't wait for Sebastian's response and broke free from his grip. Under Sebastian's cold gaze, Joey walked away with Theodore.
There was no color on Joey's delicate face. She looked up at Theodore's handsome face and said, "Mr. Vale, you saved my life that day, and I haven't had a chance to thank you properly. I'm grateful for this opportunity. You can rest assured that I will donate blood to your sister, but I have one request. I hope you will keep the matter of saving me a secret."
Theodore's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he spoke gently, "The child belongs to Sebastian, right?"
Joey smiled faintly and said, "Whose child it is doesn't matter anymore. The child is gone, and I just don't want this to affect my decision."

She didn't know how Sebastian would react once he found out about this. She just didn't want any complications and hoped to leave Sebastian as soon as possible.
Theodore's gaze darkened for a moment. Between Joey's brows, he seemed to see a resemblance to their mother. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he asked with concern, "But you had a severe hemorrhage, and it's only been a few days. Are you sure your body can handle this?"
Joey's lips curled in a mocking smile. "That's my business. I just hope to repay your kindness, and from now on, we won't owe each other anything."
"You don't have to do this. I'm not that kind of person. If your body can't handle it, I won't force you."novelbin
"I don't like owing favors, especially to people related to Isabella. Mr. Vale, I hope you won't forget our agreement."
After Joey finished speaking, she nodded slightly at Theodore and walked over to the nurse who had been waiting. "Take me to get the blood drawn."
"Joey!"
