Bloom for No One but Me novel Chapter 5

Gigi had given Catherine blood more times than she could count. But she never expected that nobody was willing to use Catherine's blood to save her when she was staring death in the face.

She figured she had seen enough to stop caring. No matter how her family hurt her, it wouldn't get to her anymore. But at that moment, their cruel words still hit her like a ton of bricks.

The pain was so intense that it knocked her out cold. She didn't wake up until three days later. This time, she felt more drained than ever before.

The first person Gigi saw when she opened her eyes was Rylan. He looked like he had been sitting by her bed for a long time, with a hint of exhaustion on his face.

When he saw she was awake, the icy expression on his face eased ever so slightly. "You're finally up, Gigi. Are you in any pain? Do you feel hungry? The doctor said you lost a lot of blood and need to rest. Just tell me whatever you feel like eating, I'll get it."

Watching him fuss over her like this, she found it hard to believe he was the same cold, heartless man who stopped Catherine from giving her blood.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she might have been moved to tears by how gentle and caring he was.

After Rylan left, Gigi asked the nurse who was administering her an IV drip, "Who gave the blood that saved me?"

The nurse sighed and paused for a moment before replying, "Your family was really something. We tried everything, but they still refused to let your sister give blood.

"Thankfully, we had your blood type in our records. We managed to reach a doctor who was off that day. It turns out he also has Rh-null blood. He rushed back and donated blood just in time to save you."

After saying that, the nurse looked at her with a puzzled look. "Are you adopted into the family? Is the man just now your brother-in-law?"

Gigi froze for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh. She didn't stop until a single tear slipped down her cheek.

She spent her days in the hospital without a single visit from Donovan and Meredith. Only Rylan stayed and looked after her.
