Izabella's eyelashes quivered slightly. Though it was barely noticeable, Amelia saw it and knew she was listening.
"Izabella, think about Presley. If something happens to you, he'd be devastated. He's already specializing in cancer research just to save you. So many people haven't given up on you, so don't give up on yourself."
Amelia tried to keep Izabella from losing consciousness. Seeing the tear stains at the corner of her eyes, Amelia felt a pang in her heart.
Fortunately, she noticed Izabella's massive bleeding in time to have someone find a blood match. Any later, and it might not have been just a close call.
Amelia took a deep breath, her nostrils filled with the scent of disinfectant and blood. Now, all she could do was wait for the person who was going to donate blood to arrive.
Brett was also waiting. He kept glancing at the operating room door and checking the time. Unable to bear it any longer, he sent a message to Kaley, asking where she was.
His heart was in turmoil. When Kaley replied, his anxiety eased for a moment, but soon, it returned.
Kaley looked at the messages on her phone. Just reading the words made her realize how worried Brett must be.
Why did Brett fall in love with Izabella?
Perhaps not even Brett himself knew the answer.
Was it love that grew over time? The fact that she stayed by Brett's side for so long might be the answer.
Kaley clutched her phone, her expression suddenly turning deep and solemn. She thought, "Letting Izabella get away with a divorce like this would be too easy. She must pay a painful price for occupying the position that should have been mine for four years!"
As she approached the hospital, Kaley called Brett. When she got out of the car, she saw him waiting, so she put on a fake worried expression.
"How is Izabella now?"
Brett shook his head. "I'm sorry you had to come."
"It's fine. Izabella saved me once too. I'm just returning the favor." This was also a reminder to Brett that after donating her blood to save Izabella, she wouldn't owe her anymore.
Brett looked at the wounds on Kaley's legs, feeling guilty. Despite Izabella having pushed her down the stairs, Kaley had come to the hospital to save her, burying the hatchet.
Brett scooped Kaley up. There were so many people in the hospital, his sudden action surprised Kaley, and she felt a little smitten.
Lying in Brett's arms, she shyly said, "Brett, put me down, there are too many people here."
"It's faster this way." Brett sprinted with Kaley in his arms, as if the person he was holding was dying.
Kaley's heart suddenly sank at this moment. Seeing Brett's tense jaw, she knew all his worries were for Izabella.
