Jacob scowled like he was greatly troubled.
Another healer suddenly barged in and shouted anxiously, “Alpha, Luna Molly has lost too much blood! She needs a blood transfusion right now!”
The troubled expression vanished from Jacob’s face, and he turned to me. “Zoey, your wolf is really strong, so you’ll be fine. Please save my pup, okay?”
“Take her blood! Stop wasting time!” Elizabeth screeched.
The healer looked at me hesitantly. I held back the tears that were threatening to spill out and raised my arm.
“Take it. This is the last thing I will do for Jacob and Molly.”
After this, I would have nothing to do with Jacob anymore.
This was me returning all of the love and devotion he gave me over the past five years.
Jacob was stunned. He frowned while staring at me.
“Take her blood! What are you waiting for? Save my grandson!” Elizabeth screeched again. Her words removed all of Jacob’s uncertainty.
I turned my head away and shut my eyes as I felt the needle pierce my vein.
Unnoticed by anyone, one last tear for Jacob slid down my cheek.
The blood bag soon filled up.
But Elizabeth continued screeching, “Take more! One bag isn’t enough! Take more as backup for my grandson!”
Troubled, the healer said, “Ma’am, if we take more, Zoey won’t be able to handle it.”
“Mom, that’s enough! One bag is enough.”
Jacob gave me a worried look before he glared at his mother.
“Enough? If she hadn’t brought that brat back, Molly wouldn’t have gone into shock! Did you forget that Molly’s carrying your pup?
“Zoey’s a barren woman! All that’s useful about her is her blood!”
Jacob clenched his hands into fists and said nothing else.
He walked over to me and caressed my pale face. “I’ll make it up to you, honey.”
I turned my head away. I did not fight back nor say anything.
The moment he turned around, I felt my heart die.
The second bag of blood filled up as quickly as the first, and my strength slowly faded away.
When they brought the third bag, I started trembling, and my breathing quickened. Even my vision started turning black.
I focused on the pup they had brought along and told myself that I could not faint.
The little one was waiting for me to bring him back home.
