Forbidden Passion

Chapter 541 Taylor Agreed to Take a Paternity Test

Phoebe didn't have time to bicker with Mason. She snatched the surgery consent form and bolted to the elevator, heading back to the ER where the nurse was pacing like a cat on a hot tin roof. "Why the heck are you so late?? Don't you get the patient's in bad shape?" the nurse snapped as she rushed into the OR.

The door swung shut, leaving the hallway dead silent.

Phoebe wiped her face with her hand, pulling out her phone to call Theodore. But before she could dial, the ER door flew open again, and the nurse was back.

"The patient's bleeding out and needs A-negative blood. Our blood bank's out of stock. It'll take at least an hour to get it from the blood center, and the patient can't wait. Do any of the patient's relatives have A-negative blood?" the nurse asked, her voice urgent.

Phoebe's mind was spinning. "You mean a rare blood type?"

"Yeah, get in touch with her relatives for a blood test, quick. Time's ticking," the nurse urged.

Phoebe quickly dialed Theodore's number. He was still pissed and hung up on her. Biting her lip, she had no choice but to call Taylor.

Taylor picked up fast, her voice soft, "Phoebe, are you home? Get some rest."

"Mom, I'm at the hospital ER. A friend needs A-negative blood. I remember someone in our family has that type," Phoebe said.

"It's me. I'll be right there," Taylor replied.

After hanging up, Taylor got up to head downstairs. Theodore quickly asked, "Mom, where are you going?"

"Phoebe called. A friend of hers needs a blood transfusion. I'm going down for a bit. You stay here with your dad. I'll be back soon," Taylor said.

Theodore frowned, "You've been unwell lately. How could Phoebe ask you to donate blood? That's so thoughtless of her."
