"You won't die, but..."
"If I won't die, then draw it."
Seeing the nurse still hesitating, Victoria added, "If you don't, she'll die, and the two bags of blood I just gave will be for nothing."
The nurse heard this, clenched her jaw, and agreed. "Alright. But if you feel any discomfort at all, you must tell me!"
Victoria closed her eyes, remaining silent.
She could clearly feel her strength draining away with her blood, her face growing paler. Only a few minutes had passed, but it felt like it would never end.
"The other donors are here!" someone shouted.
The nurse immediately stopped drawing Victoria's blood, pulled out the needle, and asked worriedly, "Miss Sanger, how are you? Are you okay? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Victoria opened her eyes and shook her head slightly, then forced herself to stand.
But before she could steady herself, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she swayed violently.
Elias's eyes narrowed instantly. He strode forward, about to reach out and support her.
Victoria caught his movement and instinctively flinched away. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Elias stared at her, his expression unreadable. He withdrew his hand and said in a low, heavy voice, "I'll take you home."
"No need." Victoria refused without a second thought. The corners of her eyes were tinged with red, a stark contrast to her paper-white face, and it stung Elias's eyes.
After a long moment, he asked in a cold, deep voice, "What do you want?"
In truth, when he heard Hawk say that Victoria was the one who matched, his first reaction was no, he couldn't take her blood.
But he never expected Victoria to offer it herself.
That much blood...
