A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 956 Asking for A Leave

Although Rae didn't know what was happening, she answered the phone quickly.

As soon as she answered, Leonard's voice was slightly quick and steady. He said, "Rae, I'm Dad!"

"Dad, what’s wrong!" Rae heard Leonard's voice and felt calm in her heart.

"Do you have time now?"

"Do you have something?" Rae asked.

"Rae, don't worry. What Dad will say may shock you, but you must be careful on the way here. I have asked my driver to pick you up from your unit. He should arrive now. You just need to follow him. Your mother was in a car accident and was rescued in the emergency room. The blood bank has no blood. Come and help her with a blood transfusion!"

Rae froze for a moment, her heart grasped for a moment, and her voice trembled, "You said mom is rescuing?"

Perhaps Rae hadn't noticed it, she regarded Mrs Baxter as her mother. When she heard that Mrs Baxter had been in a car accident, her heart jumped quickly. She consciously forgot those things, only was worried about her mother.

Rae almost hung up the phone blankly. After she hung up, she realized that everyone was not leaving, they were all looking at her.

She regained her senses, looked at everyone, pulled her lips, and turned to Marcel again, "Captain Hopkins, I'm sorry, there is something happen on my family, I want to ask for leave!"

Marcel frowned slightly.

Rae added, "My mother is rescuing! I must ask for a leave!"

After speaking, she grabbed the bag and said no more, regardless of whether Marcel agreed or not, she went straight out.

Behind him, Reuben also walked out.

When he left, he looked back at Marcel, his eyes sharp.

Marcel went straight back to his office.

Rae hurriedly went downstairs and pressed the elevator button, but the elevator did not open the door. She hurriedly took the stairs. She went down the stairs quickly. Her already crippled feet didn’t recover, so when she took every step, she almost fell down. It looked very thrilling.

Reuben followed, shouting, "Rae, be careful, you can’t walk so fast!"

Rae didn't want to talk nonsense with Reuben, and went straight.

Reuben watched Rae look like that and didn't say anything.

After going downstairs, Rae saw Leonard's driver Monty had arrived and was standing by the car waiting for her. Seeing her coming out, Monty immediately opened the car door.

Rae got into the car without saying a word, but Reuben got into the car as well.

Monty was embarrassed and shouted, "Mr James, this—"

"Drive the car quickly. Didn’t you say that Mrs Baxter was being saved, Monty?" Reuben didn't think of himself as an outsider. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Rae didn't bother to argue with this person, and said directly, "Monty, drive, hurry up!"

As soon as Rae spoke, Monty started the car and drove towards the hospital.

On the way, Monty told them, "Early in the morning, Madam went to walk the dog. On the way back, she was scratched by the car and hit the head..."

Rae only felt that her brain exploded, and then her mind went blank.

Reuben asked, "How could there be a car accident? Didn't anyone follow? Who was the driver?"

"The other party is a small vendor. Early in the morning, he ran to the villa to buy products. He encountered security and wanted to drive quickly to avoid, but accidentally bumped into your mother. Now he is crying in the hospital because he can't afford the medical expenses!"

Reuben frowned. "How is Mrs Baxter?"

"She is being saved. Mr Baxter was there when I came. When he asked me to pick up you, he asked me to drive steadily, safety is the most important thing. Miss, don’t be afraid, your father is there, everything will pass. Mr and Mrs Baxter had suffered a lot, so she will be saved!"

Rae didn't listen to Monty's words. Her thoughts were very messy, and she was confused. First, the result proved that she was Kane's daughter. Then Reuben found her and Marcel suddenly broke up with her in front of everyone. Now Mrs Baxter had a car accident. During these five years, Rae found that her feelings for Mrs Baxter were much deeper than she thought.

At this moment, her heart was strong and she couldn't help shrinking. If there was a shell, Rae really wanted to get in and never come out again.

Along the way, Reuben asked many questions.

Rae didn't even participate in speaking.

She had been very quiet.

Suddenly, Reuben's hand stretched out and held Rae's!

Rae was taken aback, turned her head to look at him, and met Reuben's deep eyes, which were sharp but gentle at the moment. He said with concern, "Rae, don't be sad, everything will pass!"

Rae withdrew her hand and said nothing.

Reuben's hands were very big and the palms were very dry, but Rae didn't feel anything. Being held by Reuben didn't feel anything except discomfort.

Reuben didn't force her anymore.

The car quickly reached the hospital.

Rae followed Monty to the rescue room and saw Leonard.

At that moment, when Leonard saw her, Rae didn't know if it was an illusion. She saw tears in Leonard's eyes, so clear, but disappeared in a flash. He whispered, "Rae, come to dad!"

Rae walked over, and she whispered, "Dad!"

Leonard opened his arms and hugged Rae.

For the first time, Rae was hugged by Leonard.

The embrace was very warm and generous, just like a real father! What she hadn't got from Kane over the years, suddenly got from Leonard! This embrace from his father made Rae suddenly feel sad, and she began to cry.

She didn't know why she was so emotional. Watching Leonard wait at the door of the emergency room, watching the door of the operating room closed tightly, she suddenly wanted to cry, and she really started to cry!

"Good girl, don't cry! Your mother will be okay! She will be okay!" Leonard didn't know whether to comfort Rae or to comfort himself. In short, he comforted her with a gentle voice and made her cry harder!

However, in only a short time, Leonard said, "Rae, the blood bank does not have that much blood. Now that there is a blood shortage, you give your mother some blood! Your mother’s blood type is special, and, your blood type is same as her!"

Rae nodded, and immediately said, "I'm going now!"

She was led to the blood transfusion room by Monty, and 600CC of blood was drawn. Rae was not reluctant at all!

When she watched the blood draw a little bit, she suddenly realized that she, Rae, and Mrs Baxter all have rare blood type! It was strange that she looked like Rae and have the same blood type as Mrs Baxter and Rae, which made Rae have another complicated hope!

After the blood was drawn, the nurse asked, "What is your relationship with the patient?"

Rae was taken aback, and said, "Mother and daughter!"

The nurse did not change her expression, "The blood you transfused may not be used for your mother's treatment. We will use it in other places, and we are also actively deploying other blood!"

Rae asked in surprise, "Why?"

The nurse said, "Because the genes between immediate family members are generally inherited in the entire chromosome, the haplotype genes between them are generally the same. If there is a relationship between blood supply and recipient, blood transfusion will occur. The risk of graft-versus- host disease is very high. Once this kind of graft enters the recipient’s body, it may be implanted in the host and proliferate in large numbers, and various tissues and organs of the host may be used as target organs to attack and destroy. Damage to the host’s multi-organ function, leading to multiple organ failure or even death. This kind of graft-versus-host pathological damage caused by blood transfusion is called transfusion-related graft-versus-host disease. The closer the blood relationship, the more the disease occurs. The higher the rate, especially among first-degree relatives, that is, between parents and children, the incidence is very high!"

"Then why did you let me have a blood transfusion?" Rae didn't understand. She was dizzy now, wasn't she playing her? She felt that the nurse had deliberately let her have a blood transfusion.

The nurse said, "Now that there is a blood shortage, I have to find a way to get blood transfusions from the relatives of the people being treated. This is the hospital's regulations, sorry Miss!"

Rae understood that there was no blood, and the patient’s relatives also can donate blood. She was just a little angry at the nurse's concealment. Rae said at this time, "You can use my blood to treat her. The patient is my foster mother. We are not related by blood!"

Rae had tested the DNA, so she was very confident.

When the nurse heard it, she was a little surprised. "Well, we will use it immediately!"

Rae thought about it again, and said, "I hope this matter will not be known to anyone. My mother does not want to be mentioned about me as her adopted daughter. Anyone who mentions it may stimulate her condition, and then that one will be responsible..." Rae said half of it, she was a smart person, so

she didn't need to say more, she wanted to save people, so she had to say that, and she didn't want to say more.

The nurse nodded, "Don't worry, I understand!"

"Thank you!" Rae thanked her.

She also smiled, "I'm sorry, I lied to you for a blood transfusion!"

"It doesn't matter, I want to save people too!" Rae understood.

"That's good!"

After leaving the blood transfusion room, Rae still felt dizzy, with tears in her eyes.

Reuben was waiting for Rae outside. When he saw Rae coming out of the blood transfusion room, he immediately stepped forward to support her who was crumbling.

Rae was struggling to refuse Reuben's touch, which made Reuben very annoyed. Why she was so stubborn?

Reuben was annoyed at Rae who was stubborn and strong, and admired her he same time. He was helpless. He tightly grasped her arms, half held her and gave her support. Then he said in low voice in Rae’s ears. "If I were you, I wouldn’t be angry, at least not now! You have a bad complexion and you have a blood transfusion, so you need to rest now! Do you want to faint on the way back to emergency room? Do you feel unbearable that I hold you?"

As he said, he grasped a little tighter and let her lean on his shoulder.

Rae really didn't have the energy to argue. She was exhausted by speaking with the nurse just now. She was still dizzy. She can't listen to what Reuben said, so she leaned on his shoulder.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Reuben took her back to the door of the emergency room.

Leonard greeted them when they walked over.

Reuben put Rae on the lounge chair and let her breathe. At this moment, a very young man came with a bag in his hand.

The man saw Reuben and greeted him respectfully, "Mr Reuben!"

"Yeah!" Reuben nodded and stretched out his hand.
