Feeling both envious and sympathetic, Marco fetched a bottle of water from a vending machine, opened it, and
handed it to her. In a hoarse voice, he reassured her, “There's no need to worry. The bullet didn’t hurt any vital
part of his body.”
Loraine managed a weak smile and thanked him.
As the door to the emergency room swung open, the soldiers clustered around the doctor, and Loraine hurriedly
rose to her feet.
The doctor explained, “The patient was shot and needs immediate surgery to remove the bullet. He's lost a
significant amount of blood and requires a transfusion, but our blood bank doesn’t have enough supply.
Does anyone here have 0-type blood?”

Marco had researched Loraine thoroughly and memorized every detail about her. He instantly recalled that
Loraine had 0-type blood.
Caring for Rowan as deeply as she did, Loraine would surely want to donate her blood.
Marco's expression shifted. Before Loraine could respond, he stepped in front of her and declared, “You're not
allowed to donate blood! You're always so fragile!”
Loraine looked at him, perplexed. “I can’t donate blood anyway.”
Taken aback, Marco quickly grabbed Loraine’s hand.
“What happened?”
His mind raced with various speculations, fearing that Loraine might have an undiagnosed anemia preventing
her from donating blood.
Loraine’s confusion deepened. She pulled back her hand and explained,
“Rowan is my uncle. Blood transfusion between us carries the risk of hemolysis!”
“Uncle...” Marco was so shocked that he froze, struggling to comprehend the revelation.

Meanwhile, the soldiers with O-type blood rushed forward to volunteer.

Marco, on the other hand, stood in place, lost in thought and pushed aside.
Soon, the doctor selected two donors. Loraine implored, “Please do everything you can to save him.”
The doctor nodded and led the two soldiers away.
Still dazed, Marco murmured, “I've discovered that Rowan isn’t related to the Torres family. What on earth is
going on?”
Overhearing this, Hubert explained, “Mr. Torres didn’t want to use the
Torres family’s influence, so he concealed his identity when he joined the army. Later on, he was promoted
through his own accomplishments and abilities. His identity becclassified information, and he chose not to
disclose it. To this day, very few people know that Mr. Torres is actually Loraine’s uncle.”
Marco's face was a picture of curiosity. It was no wonder that the only file that Jimmie could find was the fake
one.
