The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 648
“The patient and I are strangers. I just so happen to pass by here and am willing to donate my blood,” Corinne replied.
The doctor was awed by her generosity. “It’s certainly rare to come across someone as kind as you nowadays. Quick, take this
kind of samaritan to do a blood test. You have my permission to collect her blood once the result comes back clear.”
“Yes, Doctor Kingsley,” said the nurse with a nod.
Corinne followed the nurse to the blood collection room. She brought Lilin along with her because she was worried the little girl
would start crying outside the emergency ward again. Lilin knew Corinne was going to donate blood to her mother, so she
docilely followed her to the blood collection room. The little girl never so much as made a peep along the way.
After collecting a sample of Corinne’s blood, the nurse immediately sent it to the lab for testing. Her result came back with the
confirmation of Corinne being Rh-negative so the nurse got ready to collect. more of her blood for the transfusion.
Corinne sat there, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her arm for the nurse to plunge the needle in. The nurse inserted the
needle into her vein and the transparent tube was instantly filled with blood.
After a while, the nurse noticed something was wrong so she asked worriedly, “Ma’am, are you okay? You don’t look too good. Is
there any medical history I should know about?”
Corinne shook her head. “No. I’m perfectly healthy though I am two months pregnant.”
The nurse was shocked. “What? You’re pregnant? Oh no! You can’t donate your blood then.”
She then quickly ripped off the tube and pressed a cotton ball onto Corinne’s wound.
“It’s okay. I’m confident about my health. A little blood donation wouldn’t hurt me or the baby. Please continue,” Corinne assured
the nurse.
The nurse shook her head and said, “No, I won’t allow you to donate your blood since it’s not recommended to do that while
you’re pregnant. This is very risky of you. What if this affects the baby in your tummy?”
Corinne had in her possession some medical knowledge and knew her own body very well. Therefore, she was sure it would not
harm her to give a little more blood. Lilin reminded her of her young self. Even now, she could vividly remember the helplessness

she felt when she was left alone in the hospital waiting for her mother to come back. Oh, how she so vehemently wished some
grown-up was there to help her look. for her mother at that time.
She started shuddering uncontrollably at the thought of suddenly losing her mother. Having experienced that, she could not
possibly forgive herself if she was to leave Lilin alone to fend for herself in the hospital. Therefore, she swore to herself that she
would save Lilin’s mother no matter what.
‘Poor child. I can’t bear to see a kid as young as her losing her mother/ I can always nurse my body back to health after this but
the same can’t be said about Lilin’s mother,’ she thought.
“Don’t worry. I know my own body very well. Please continue to collect the blood,” she said to the nurse.
“No! I won’t do it no matter what!” The nurse looked at the half-full blood bag. “This might not be enough but it’s good enough for
emergency use. As for the rest of the blood, I’ll try my best to look for other sources.”
Lilin listened to the conversation between Corinne and the nurse. Even though she was still a kid, she understood what was
going on. She looked tearfully at the nurse and asked, “Miss Nurse, is my mommy going to be okay? I heard you say that we
wouldn’t be able to use this lady’s blood because she’s pregnant.
The nurse wanted to comfort her but she did not want to lie to her either. She sighed helplessly and said, ” If we can’t find
enough blood, your mommy might not-
“Hey Lilin, don’t worry. Your mommy is going to be fine. I’m going to make sure she’ll get all the blood she needs, okay?”
interjected Corinne.
The nurse was surprised. She looked at Corinne with disbelief. ‘Is she for real? Or is she just trying to make her feel better?’
Lilin’s eyes immediately lit up; gone was the despair from her little face. “Really? Are you going to find some blood for my
mommy?”
Corinne patted her gently on the head and said, “Yup. I’ve never lied to anyone so just wait here for me to come back, okay?”
Corinne did not blame the nurse for doing her job. The nurse only meant well after all and everyone knew how dangerous it
would be for a pregnant lady to donate blood
