Chapter 392 Jude’s Blood Type
Hanson looked Vania in the eyes and announced his support. “No matter what it is, as long as it is what you want to do, I’ll forever be on your side.”
He made it clear that she could do whatever she wanted without having to hold back because of him.
Vania saw the steadfast look in Hanson’s eyes, and her face crumpled. Just as she was about to speak, a doctor came out of the operating theater.
Once she saw the doctor, she hurried over in a panic and grabbed the doctor’s sleeve. “Doctor, how’s my son?”
Her eyes were fraught with anxiety.
The doctor was also rather concerned. He frowned and said, “Your son has been fed with sleeping drugs, so you could say he’s asleep right now. He’ll be able to wake up once the drugs are gone from his system.”
Vania exhaled in relief once she heard what the doctor said. It was just sleeping drugs after all. She had given herself a terrible fright earlier.
She looked at the doctor expectantly. “In that case, when will my son be waking up?”
The doctor looked at Vania and explained a little helplessly, “Ms. Greyson, your son has O-negative blood which is already rare, and furthermore, he has a rare blood disorder where he is at great risk of drug poisoning when ingesting sleeping medication, especially at such high doses.”
Drug poisoning? Vania’s heart caught in her throat once more. “Is there an antidote?”
For some reason, the image of Jude, colorless and with his eyes closed, flashed across her mind. She assumed the worst.
The doctor said, “Your son’s life is not in danger. However, we’ll need to run a series of tests to determine when he’ll wake up.”
“Why aren’t you running the tests now then?” Vania asked in heightened anxiety.
“My son and I…” Vania attempted to ask.
The doctor figured out what she was thinking. “Oh, your son takes after his father’s blood type, so it’s best if we can get the father to come.”
So that’s what he meant, Vania thought to herself. Her eyes dimmed once she heard what the doctor said, and she did not know how to respond.
After a long pause, she asked in a low voice, “Is that the only way?”
The doctor nodded. “The only way to treat this kind of poisoning is to extract the blood and cleanse it before putting it back into the system, but while this is happening, we have to give the patient a blood transfusion as well.
Otherwise, the patient’s condition will become very dire if he loses too much blood. However, as your son’s blood type is rare, we don’t have any supply of it left in our blood bank.”
