Chapter 5
She lost her balance and fell backward. In the next second, champagne and broken glasses rained down
on her!
The alcohol soaked her hair, and the wet gown clung to her body. Blood poured from her arms and legs, leaving painful, jagged wounds that stung her and made her look utterly disheveled.
The rapid loss of blood caused her vision to blur, and for a moment, her mind felt fuzzy. She stared vacantly ahead.
Opposite her, Alexander and Benjamin were still nervously surrounding Olivia.
“Auntie, your hand is bleeding!”
“Olivia, I’ll take you to the hospital!”
Alexander didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately picked up Olivia and rushed out. Benjamin, with
his short legs, struggled to keep up but showed no signs of complaint.
Olivia’s fair hand wrapped around Alexander’s neck. On her arm, there was only a small wound, but to
their eyes, it seemed like an irreparable serious injury.
As they hurried past Isabella, Alexander instinctively glanced at her. When he saw the numerous wounds
on her body, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have pushed someone earlier.
He paused for a moment, looked at her, and spoke without an ounce of apology in his tone, “I need to take Olivia to the hospital first. As for your injuries, take a taxi to see a doctor yourself.”
Isabella opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, Alexander and the others had already left the banquet hall. She was left lying in a pool of blood, forcing herself to take out her phone and dial
- 120.
The ambulance arrived quickly. Just as she was about to be taken into the operating room on the stretcher, Alexander and Benjamin rushed over, their faces filled with anxiety.
“Olivia has a blood clotting disorder. The bleeding won’t stop, and she’s already passed out. The blood bank is running low, but I remember you have the same blood type as her. Come with me to donate blood!”
As he spoke, Alexander reached for Isabella, but the doctor quickly stepped forward to stop him, looking a bit troubled
Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter’s injuries are more serious, and she is too weak right now to donate blood..”

But his words didn’t seem to move Alexander at all. He frowned and didn’t slow down. Even Benjamin, standing by, merely sneered, speaking with complete indifference.
“What’s the big deal with donating a little blood? Can she compare to Auntie?”
Her blood ran cold at once. She turned her head, meeting the gazes of the two men, one big and one small, who showed no hint of guilt.
Isabella had long gotten used to their coldness, but hearing these words still made her heart ache.
For six years, she had diligently cared for both of them. Even if she didn’t expect them to love her the way they loved Olivia, how could they say such things?
She was dragged out of bed and staggered toward the blood donation room. The sharp pain from the needle was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
As more and more blood was drawn, dizziness overcame her again, and her lips turned pale.
She couldn’t take it any longer, stood up, and tried to leave. But suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of her, and her hands were forcefully held down.
Turning her head, she realized it was Alexander and Benjamin, one on each side, holding her hands.
Just a little more, Olivia will be safer.”
Alexander’s voice had barely finished when Benjamin’s voice followed immediately.
“Keep going! Draw as much as you can! We have to make sure Auntie is safe!”
The two of them wore expressions full of worry and anxiety for Olivia, not caring at all for Isabella, who was donating blood. They kept urging the nurse to draw more.
Already weakened by her injuries, Isabella finally couldn’t bear it any longer and passed out completely.
When she woke up, Alexander and Benjamin were rarely by her bedside. Seeing her wake up, their cold eyes were filled with a mix of complicated emotions.
After a while, it was Alexander who spoke first.
“I didn’t know you had anemia. Why didn’t you say anything?”
Hearing this, Isabella couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
When they came, they just dragged her to donate blood without explaining anything. Moreover…
“If I had told you, would you have let me donate blood?”

Her words fell, and the room fell into silence,
Alexander didn’t answer, but the answer was clear he would have it made her donate Ident
Just like when they forced her to donate earlier, her injuries had not yet heated, and the doctot had advised them that she was too weak to donate blood. But at that time, how had they respondent?
This time, I was wrong. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you,” he said, his lips sightly moving. His cold tone now carried a hint of guilt, no longer as harsh as before.
Isabella closed her eyes for a moment and replied in a hoarse voice, “What I want most, I’ve already
gotten.”
Alexander cleared his throat, and his expression became a little awkward at her words. She was momentarily puzzled, but when she saw his expression, she suddenly understood.
