In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 524 Donating Blood

It was too sudden.

Grace's mind went blank, and she leaned against the wall for support, forcing herself to calm down. "Never mind what the reason is. Let's go to the hospital right now!" She ran out and immediately drove off after the ambulance.

She didn't see a pair of old eyes behind her, watching her rush off.

"The patient had a sudden heart attack and doesn't have enough blood. We need a blood transfusion, and we need an Rh-negative blood type!"

The moment she entered the hospital, Grace saw a nurse shouting through a megaphone.

Grace rushed over. "Which patient?"

The nurse pointed. "That one! The one who was just sent in!"

It was Eric!

Grace clenched her fist. She couldn't believe what a coincidence it was because she was Rh-negative. "Me, I'm Rh-negative! I'll donate blood!"

Luke stopped her at once. "No, Ms. Lewis! Nothing is more important than your health."

Grace swatted him aside. "This is a matter of life and death! Saving him is the first priority." "But-"

"It's just a few tubes of blood. I won't die!"

Grace grabbed the nurse's hand. "Take me there."

The nurse immediately took Grace to get her blood drawn. She thought that Grace was very passionate.

Grace was weak, and after drawing a few tubes of blood, she was already very pale.

Even the staff members from Byte Technologies felt sorry for her. "Ms. Lewis, you didn't have to do this."

Grace pressed down on the bandage on her arm as she sat in the corridor. After a long time, Eric's operation was finally over.

The doctor took off his mask and told the family, "He's safe."

The family was relieved, and Grace exhaled a sigh of relief as well.

Eric was wheeled out of the operation theater and into a hospital room. His family crowded in, but no one noticed Grace behind them.

No one asked about her either.

Luke was agitated and strode up to them, but Grace stopped him.

"What are you doing?"

"They-"

"If you say anything, people will just think that we helped them with a motive. It'll make us seem calculating."

"Then, should I say nothing? Ms. Lewis, your blood is very precious."

Grace was silent for a moment. "No matter what, we saved someone. It's worth it."

"Is it really worth it?" A deep, mature voice rang out.

Grace looked over in surprise and saw Raymond. His coat was draped over his arm, and he stood in the crowd. Who knew how long he had been standing there? "Uncle Raymond?"

Raymond sat down beside her. "Silly girl. It's just a job. Do you really need to put your life on the line like this?"

"Uncle Raymond ..." Grace was a little embarrassed. "How did you know that I was here?"

"I was at Eric's meeting today too."

Raymond was one of the directors on Fulton Group's board, so it made sense that he would attend a meeting at this level.

"What a coincidence! But you mustn't tell Aaron what happened to me today, Uncle Raymond."

"If you're afraid of being scolded, why did you do it? You really do have a mind of your own."

Raymond was only ever compliant in front of Hestia. In front of outsiders, he always had the authority of an elder, and Grace didn't dare to meet his eyes. "These people..." Raymond's gaze swept over the others.

"Staff members from Byte Technologies in Pamore," Grace replied quickly.

"I understand." Raymond put his coat on the chair. "Wait here."

Then, he entered Eric's hospital room.

The moment he left, the rest of them began gossiping at once. "He looks like he's just as powerful as Mr. Schultz! I wonder what his background is." Luke said in a small voice, "Fulton Group."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Grace had connections like this? No wonder she had the guts to promise Matthew this would work!
