Rufus' POV:
Sylvia wanted to use her blood to remove the poison in Blair's body. I had already thought about it.
However, I was still hesitant. I had been worried about Sylvia ever since she awoken some kind of strange power and attracted the crows in the forbidden forest. I wanted know more about her power, but was also afraid the result would only confirm my worst guess.
"Isn't it a viable method?" The anxiety and hope were evident in her eyes.
"That is indeed viable." I looked into her eyes and asked, "But what if it doesn't work?"
"We can't confirm anything without giving it a try, can we?" Sylvia smiled at me and walked to Blair's bed. "If I don't try, I will never know the result, and..."
She paused and looked at me. "Blair is your only friend. I don't want you to be sad, Rufus."
My heart skipped a beat. "Okay, let's give it a try," I said, letting out a sigh.
Perhaps it was time to have all my doubts clarified.
Sylvia had a general check-up when she was in a coma when Kyle poisoned her. Her blood type was the same as Blair's, so the doctors didn't have to run a blood test.
I arranged for a doctor to draw 200cc of blood from Sylvia's body, and then transfused it to Blair's body. Later, I asked everyone to leave.
Sylvia and I were all alone in the ward.
Sylvia grabbed my hand nervously. "I hope it works."
I felt conflicted as I watched the blood flowing through the transfusion bag. On the one hand, I wanted it to work. But on the other hand, I didn't want my doubts to be confirmed.
If my guess turned out to be true, then Sylvia...
A ball of fear settled in the pit of my stomach when I looked at Sylvia's head.
Noticing that I was staring at her, she looked up at me and smiled. "Don't be nervous, Rufus. Blair will be fine."
This little fool had been comforting me when I was worried about her.
I smiled and stroked her cheek.
Time seemed to pass slowly -- every minute seemed like an hour. My nervousness eased only when the last drop of blood was transfused into Blair's body.
