No Way Back

Chapter 8 Type Omega Blood

Jane’s heart skipped a beat as she thought about the rare blood type she possessed.

She had the legendary “golden blood,” or Type Omega blood, the newest and rarest blood type to be discovered.

This blood is compatible for donation to all other blood types, but its carrier would adversely react to receiving the blood of a different type.

So if she lost blood, she could only receive donations from someone with the same Type Omega blood. No one could explain the origin of Jane’s Type Omega blood, as both Jack and Anna had normal blood types. In the medical world, this is known as a “Blood Type Mutation,” which was why Jane had been taken in by the Teacher and given the training she needed. The Teacher even said that the fact that she had this blood type was a big part of why she was so smart.

When Jane was hurt and needed a blood transfusion right away in the past, the hospital blood bank did not have this kind of blood. Andy helped her find it on the black market, but it was costly.

This was a wake–up call for Jane, and she began keeping her own fresh blood on hand for emergencies and asking Andy to help her find others with the same blood type.

Jane was careful to conceal her status as “Queen,” but in the Darknet, everyone was a potential adversary. Thus, Jane realized that the more options she had available to her, the better.

In her previous life, Jane had cut off all contact with the Darknet, including Andy, because she was afraid that her past involvement with it would bring unwanted trouble upon her new family, the Fowlers.

“What did the guy say?” Jane asked, thinking about whoever had gotten in touch with Andy.

“He made a strange request,” Andy replied. “He wanted to make a pact with you, to sleep together.”

Jane was taken aback and asked, “What does that mean?”

Andy said, “It appears that this person is experiencing a side effect of their unusual blood type, Type Omega, and is unable to fall asleep without the aroma of someone with the same blood type. Also, they’ve made a very generous offer, Queen.”

“I understand,” Jane said before hanging up.

After the call, Jane walked to the window. Her phone went off, and when she looked at it, she saw that 750 thousand dollars had been put into her account.

That big sum of money was plenty to keep her going for a long time.

“The side effects of Type Omega blood…” Jane murmured, rubbing her temples.

In fact, Jane had some of the same problems. Rather than having trouble falling asleep like the person who contacted Andy, she often experienced nightmares.

She used to have them twice a week when she was younger, but by the time she passed away in her previous life, she had them six times a week.
