"Find them!" Zaden abruptly released the nurse and turned to Rowan, whose face was equally pale. "Use every resource we have! The entire city! The entire state! Find me people with Rh-negative Type B blood! Offer a reward! Whatever it costs! Now! Immediately!" The entire team instantly sprang into highly efficient action. Every resource that could be mobilized was thrown into this race against death to find blood. Zaden paced the corridor, like a soul trapped in a countdown, each heartbeat counting down toward that terrible possibility. Time crawled by second by agonizing second. Every second felt like a century. Nurses kept going in and out of the operating room, but the news they brought was consistently bad. No blood source had been found. Zaden's eyes were bloodshot. An unprecedented sense of helplessness threatened to crush him completely. He possessed wealth that could rival nations, yet right now he couldn't buy back even a thread of hope for the person he loved most. Just as hope was about to be completely crumble and Zaden was on the verge of a breakdown, Kate rushed over looking urgent. At this moment, Zaden had no time to speak with her. Perhaps his citywide search for blood had let her know her beloved student was in trouble, so she'd rushed over to check on her. However, Kate said, "Athena's injuries are severe and she urgently needs blood?" "Maybe ... I know where there's a matching blood source." Zaden's head snapped up. He saw exhaustion and worry on Kate's face. Realizing what she'd said, he clutched at this lifeline like a drowning man. He rushed to her in a few quick steps. "Kate! Are you Type B?"Zaden thought Kate had come to donate blood. But Kate shook her head. Just then, Harriet arrived breathless with Teri. She asked urgently, "How is Athena doing?" Teri had been staying with Kate and Harriet during this time. She also knew about Athena's injury. Her eyes were filled with worry, tears brimming in them. "Mommy ... " Kate's gaze fell on Teri. Her tone was calm yet earth-shattering. "Let Teri donate blood." Only then did Zaden suddenly remember that his daughter was also Type B. He'd been searching for others but had forgotten about Teri. But Teri was still so young. Zaden hesitated for a moment, his lips pressed together. He looked at Teri and asked, "Teri, Mommy is badly hurt and needs a lot of blood. Can you ... " Before Zaden could finish, Teri immediately said, "Daddy, I know! I'm willing to donate blood to Mommy. I have to save Mommy!" Zaden nodded with relief. He said to the nurse, "Take her." After saying this, he added with some concern, "Draw just a little at first to stabilize Athena's condition. I'll continue searching for more Type B blood." "Yes, Mr. Storm." The nurse took Teri to draw blood. Zaden was about to follow them. But unexpectedly, Kate stopped him. "Zaden, wait a moment." Zaden stopped and turned back to look at Kate. She wore a grave expression as she looked at him, as if she had something important to tell him. "Kate, I want to watch over Teri. She'll be scared." Kate shook her head. "Don't worry. Teri's a big girl now. I need to tell you something very important. It's about ... Teri's origins." Zaden's eyes darkened. For some reason, he had a premonition that what Kate was about to tell him would be shocking news. ... The two walked to the hospital garden. It was empty all around, shaded by green trees, with a touch of coolness in the air. Zaden looked at Kate and asked, "Kate, you said earlier you wanted to tell me about Teri's origins. Can you tell me now?" Previously, Zaden had learned from Preston that Teri's mother might be Maya. He hadn't investigated to verify it. Because the result was meaningless. He'd already decided to spend his life with Athena. No matter whose child Teri was, he didn't care. She was his daughter and also Athena's daughter. That point was beyond question. Kate sighed and said to Zaden, "Originally, I intended to take this secret to my grave. But given the current situation, I feel you need to know." Zaden's brows furrowed as he waited for Kate to continue. "Teri, she ... " Kate took a deep breath and looked at Zaden. "She is Athena's child." Despite his usual composure, at this moment he couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.He even suspected he was experiencing hallucinations from extreme anxiety. "Professor Warner, you ... what did you say?" Zaden's voice was hoarse. "Teri? My daughter? She ... how could she possibly be ... " His instinct was to find it absurd. How could Teri possibly be Athena's daughter? He hadn't even known Athena before, hadn't had any connection with her whatsoever. If Kate had said Teri's mother was Maya, he might not have been this shocked.
