Chapter 431
However, Dominic recalled how nervous Hannah had seemed when he talked to Chloe. He glanced in the direction of the operating room, thoughtfulness flashing in his eyes.

He picked up his phone and told Finn to inform Hannah that Anathea was in the hospital.
After that, he reached the blood collection area, extending his hand for the nurse to draw blood.
Fortunately, Dominic had arrived in time. Just as they were about to run out of blood bags, the fresh red blood drawn from his body flowed through the transparent tube into Anathea’s body.
Time ticked by slowly.
Gregory stood outside the operating room, motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.
The blood from the broken skin in his palm dripped down his fingers onto the floor, drop by drop. How he wished his blood type was compatible with Anathea’s. If it were, he wouldn’t hesitate to drain every drop from his own body, as long as it could save her.
After a while, the Miller family also delivered two bags of blood, which were quickly sent into the operating room by a nurse. At the same time, an anxious female voice rang out. “Where’s Thea?”
Hannah, pulling Chloe along, rushed over. Seeing Gregory standing there, she didn’t say a word as she stepped forward, grabbing him by the collar and shouting, “Gregory, what did you do to Thea?”
Adrian couldn’t stand it and quickly tried to stop her. “Ms. Cole, please calm down.”
“It only been a few days, and now Thea is like this. How do you expect me to calm down?”
Hannah knew Gregory was now the head of the Sinclair family and couldn’t offend him, so she angrily let go of his collar and questioned, “How is she now?”
Gregory lowered his head, saying nothing.
“She’s still in surgery. She had a massive hemorrhage,” explained Adrian.
“Hemorrhage?” Hannah staggered, almost losing her balance. “Thea has a rare blood type. This could kill her!”
Hannah was so anxious she was about to cry. If something really happened to Anathea, she couldn’t face Fiona.
Chloe, who was standing by, saw Hannah’s eyes turning red, and she held Hannah’s hand. “Mommy, I have the same blood type as Thea. I can give her some blood.”
Hannah was stunned for a moment. She was a bit hesitant, but she had no time to waste.
As long as it could save Anathea’s life, she had to try. Hannah pulled Chloe’s hand. “Chloe, let’s go save Thea.”
But just as she turned around, she saw Dominic pressing a cotton swab to the spot where the needle had been.
Hannah stopped in her tracks, and her expression shifted slightly.
Dominic looked at her meaningfully, his gaze sweeping to Chloe subtly. At that moment, Hannah felt like grabbing Chloe and running away.
“Mommy? Why did we stop?” Chloe was confused. “Aren’t we going to give blood to Thea? Let’s go. Don’t worry, Mommy. I’m strong. I’m not afraid of pain-”
Before she could finish, Hannah pulled Chloe behind her, getting her out of Dominic’s line of sight. Her fingers trembled slightly from nervousness.
Dominic stared at Hannah’s pale face, then at Chloe, whom Hannah was shielding behind her. Realization dawned on him as he

stepped forward.
Hannah instinctively stepped back, her heart rising to her throat.
She should have known that Dominic would be here when he had someone tell her that Anathea was at the hospital.
But she had heard that Dominic had already returned to Syntherra, which was why she dared to bring Chloe here.
Yet…
She stared at Dominic warily, gripping Chloe’s hand.
But Dominic didn’t stop in front of her. Instead, he walked past her and went up to Gregory, patting Gregory on the shoulder in comfort. “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”
Gregory gave a slight nod. He remained tense, not daring to relax for even a second. He looked as if he was on the verge of breaking.
Another 20 minutes passed, and finally, the light above the operating room went out. Avery walked out with her head down.
