Chapter 427

Hearing Zinnia’s words, Charlie felt a lump in his throat. He knew she suffered from severe anemia, and any blood loss would be a significant drain on her body.

“Charlie, hurry! We’re running out of time. The golden treatment window is only fifteen minutes, and five have already passed,” Zinnia urged, pulling out a silver needle and thrusting it toward him. Closing her eyes, she offered her hand to Timothy.

Zinnia couldn’t bring herself to do it, so Charlie had to step in. Time was critical. There was no time to set up any blood collection equipment. Every second wasted put Henry in even greater danger.

“Zinnia…” Charlie’s face tensed as he realized how grave Henry’s condition was. He lowered his gaze to her delicate palm, where the slender silver needle drew a thin line. Crimson beads of blood immediately welled up in its wake.

Zinnia winced at the pain in her palm, biting her lip as she closed her hand into a tight fist. Drops of blood trickled down in a steady stream.

Charlie quickly placed a sterile cup beneath her hand, and then gently wrapped his fingers around hers, pressing inward so the crimson drops fell one after another.

For some reason, Yannis felt a tightness in his chest as he waited outside. His eyes remained fixed on the tightly closed door, clouded with growing worry.

The cup quickly filled with blood. Charlie swiftly grabbed the first aid kit and wrapped Zinnia’s hand. “Zinnia, it’s done,” he rasped, his throat tight with emotion. He never imagined Zinnia would go this far to save Henry.

“Give Grandpa the blood first,” Zinnia said, her eyes still closed as her fingers searched through the silver needle case, selecting the needles she needed.

Charlie gently lifted Henry up. The old man’s face was ghostly pale, his eyes shut tight, and his breathing was so shallow it was barely there.

“Zinnia, the blood’s been given,” Charlie murmured after carefully feeding Henry and wiping the blood from the old man’s lips with a handkerchief. His eyes clouded with concern as he looked at her bandaged hand.

“Take off Grandpa’s shirt,” Zinnia said, opening her eyes at last. She glanced at her freshly bandaged hand, the pain prickling like needles beneath her skin, but pushed it aside. Her expression was grave and focused.

Charlie complied without hesitation.

One by one, Zinnia drew out silver needles and expertly inserted them into Henry’s exposed chest in rapid succession, removing them just as swiftly. Her hands were moving in such a blur that Charlie could barely follow her technique.
