The Stolen Lifeline

Nate Brooks took the emergency blood supply I had been stockpiling for seven years and authorized its use for his childhood friend’s daughter.

His colleagues tried desperately to talk him out of it:

"But what about Clara?"

"She has a complex chimeric blood type. Carrying a pregnancy is extremely high-risk for her. If she hemorrhages without backup blood, it's an absolute death sentence."

Nate was silent for a long time before replying softly.

"Lily is Elena's daughter. She's just a little girl. She needs this blood more than Clara does right now."
