Chapter 438
Zac sat on the sofa while a nurse drew his blood.
Just then, the hospital room door opened. Dominic walked in and stopped short when he saw the scene. A second Later, he shut the door behind him, unable to hide the excitement and relief on his face.
He strode over to Zac, then turned to glance at Chris.
After that, he let out a long, heavy breath.
Richie finally had a chance.
No one in the room spoke.
After the blood draw was finished, the nurse pressed a cotton swab against the inside of Zac’s elbow to stop the bleeding.
“I can do it myself,” Zac said, taking the swab from her.
The nurse gathered her things and left the room.
“Does it hurt? Want me to blow on it for you?” Dominic leaned closer to Zac’s arm.
Zac pressed his other hand against Dominic’s face and pushed him back. His tone was calm. “No. Breath carries bacteria.”
“You’re disgusted by me now?”
Dominic hadn’t actually planned to blow on it. The room was just too quiet, and the atmosphere was too tense. Standing there felt awkward, so he had only been trying to say something.
After Zac pushed him away, Dominic walked over to the bed instead. He looked at Chris’s bloodless face and sighed silently.
Great. Richie’s situation finally had a little hope, and now he had to worry about this man again.
“Can the blood they just drew be used to save the kid directly?” Dominic asked. He didn’t really understand how Richie’s treatment worked.
“No.” Zac explained it to him in the simplest terms possible.
Dominic understood. “All right. Then let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s just hope nothing goes wrong.”
Zac looked at Chris, who was leaning against the headboard with his yes closed, silent.
Logically, now that they had found a possible bone marrow match for Richie, Chris should have shown some sign of relief. Even though he had always been hard to read, he shouldn’t have looked this weighed down.
If he looked like this, it could only be because of Winter.
“When are you planning to tell Winnie?” Zac asked.
Some of it had happened without her knowing, but harm was still harm.
He had never thought of defending himself.
There was nothing he could say in his defense.
Just when Zac and Dominic thought he would stay silent as usual and speak in a voice that sounded almost like he was talking to himself. everything inside, they heard him
“If I tell her now, she’ll have to bear both kinds of pain.”
He paused. A shadow fell beneath his eyes.
“If I tell her later, she’ll only blame herself for not being there with Richie. Even if she hates me for it, I’ll accept it.”
Dominic frowned.
There really was no good answer.
Especially now that he knew Winter had suffered severe postpartum depression after the induced labor and had almost died because of it.
They truly couldn’t tell Winter that Richie was still alive right now. Setting aside whether Zac’s stem cells could actually be used for Richie, if Winter saw Richie in his current condition, she would definitely start asking questions.
