Anna tried her best to keep herself from falling apart, but she was still shaking all over. Her trembling hands were stained with Cade’s blood, which still felt warm on her skin.

She thought about the time when Cade was kidnapped as a child. The men who had taken him wanted to throw him down to his death right before her eyes.

Anna remembered distinctly the fear that gripped her when she saw Cade’s little body being lifted high above the ground, about to be brought down to his death at any given moment.

She could still picture the scene clearly, as if it had been ingrained into the deepest recesses of her mind. The memory still haunted her to this day.

Just then, a strong pair of arms encircled her, pulling her into a comforting embrace. Cooper held her close and murmured, “It’s okay. He’ll be alright. Nothing’s going to happen to him.”

There was an intense ringing in her ears. Her lips trembled, and she found herself unable to word out whatever it was that she was thinking.

Then, an urgent voice resonated next to her, saying, “We’ve removed the bullet and he’s no longer in danger, but he’s lost a lot of blood. He needs a transfusion immediately, but we’ve received too many patients today, and right now, we’re short on supply for blood type A.”

Cooper answered hurriedly, “That’s my blood type. Let me do the transfusion.”

“Are you related to him? Do you have any contagious diseases?”

“I’m his stepfather. We’re not related by blood, and I have no contagious diseases.”

“Then follow me, please.”

Without a second thought, Cooper hastily traipsed after the nurse.

It didn’t take long for the transfusion to be done, and after Cade woke up, the three of them made their way back to Ronney City.

Cade recovered well enough upon their return. There was color in his cheeks now, and he looked happy, too.

Cooper had given him a blood transfusion.

He beamed at the thought—Cooper’s blood now runs in my veins!

This means that I’m practically related to Cooper by blood.

He couldn’t be happier or more honored about this.

However, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed at the same time. It would be perfect if Cooper were my biological father.
