CHAPTER 170
In the Woodland hospital.
Veronica woke up to find herself on what seemed like a hospital bed with all the heart rate monitor, blood bags, and saline that caught her eyes. Dust was dancing through the golden rays streaming through the vent-holes.
She didn’t have the strength to move her body straight away. She felt weak.
The nurse entered her room and was slightly relieved to see Veronica waking up. “How do you feel, miss?” she asked in a gentle voice.
“Why can’t … move?” she asked in a painful voice.
“Ah, your body must still be in shock,” the nurse said. “Give it some time, and you should be able to move. But I must say you’re quite lucky. We were running low on blood bags last night. If the guy who brought you here didn’t have the same blood and wasn’t willing to donate his blood, you would have entered into a coma before we found blood for you. Whoever he was, he donated 3 units of blood without hesitation.”
As the nurse kept telling how lucky Veronica was, she remembered crashing into a petrol station the previous night and injuring her head, neck, and shoulder and went into a shock. If not for the airbags coming into play, she would have probably died instantly. She remembered someone pulling her out of the car and dragging her away before the flames erupted and the petrol station exploded, releasing a huge pillar of fire up into the air for hundreds of feet.
It was an extremely close call. If not for her savior, not even her body would have been found after the explosion
“Is he… still here?” she asked with effort.
The nurse shook her head. “He left after giving his blood, even though we told him he should take rest. He slipped away after the nurse went out. He must have had something important to do, and yet he donated blood. He’s a high-value man. You don’t come across guys like that who are willing to sacrifice time for others without expecting anything in return.”
