"Right now my wife is in the emergency room fighting for her life, and the culprit behind all this is Maya. There's no way I'm letting this go!" As he said this, Zaden's eyes turned red. Fabio's gaze swept past everyone and landed on Zaden, who looked disheveled yet still imposing. Then he said in a deep voice. "I'm not here to settle scores with you." Zaden looked at Fabio in surprise. If he wasn't here to settle accounts, then what was his purpose for being here? Before Zaden could ask, Fabio continued. "Athena's in critical condition and needs blood transfusions, right?" "How did you know?" Zaden frowned. "My sons and I are all Type B. We can donate blood to Athena!" Fabio's voice carried an undeniable authority. As soon as he finished speaking, Ariana also rushed over. She interjected, "If theirs isn't enough, you can have mine too!" Zaden was stunned. He couldn't quite understand. Why would the Rices be willing to help? Ariana said, "What are you standing there for? Zaden, if anything happens to my granddaughter, I'm holding you responsible. Hurry up and get them tested and draw blood!" Granddaughter? Everyone froze! Including Zaden! He'd never heard Athena mention her father in detail. He only knew her parents had passed away years ago. It seemed Athena had always been alone. He'd never imagined Fabio was actually Athena's father!Zaden had no time to be shocked about this right now. Athena's safety was above everything else. He quickly said in a deep voice. "The situation is critical. The blood bank is depleted. The reinforcements are still on the way!" Fabio's tone was firm. "Draw from us!" He raised his hand, pointing at himself, then at Preston and Kit behind him. "Me, and my two sons. We're all Type B. We can help Athena." At these words, everyone was shocked. They'd been worried about not having enough blood, but then unexpectedly three donors appeared at once. That completely eliminated any concerns they're facing now. Zaden's heart filled with the wild joy of finding hope in a desperate situation. He said to the nurse. "Test their blood." The nurse led the three unexpected donors to the blood collection area. The blood draw process was quick and silent. When Fabio rolled up his sleeve, his expression was calm, but his eyes remained fixed on the direction of the operating room. He never expected Athena to be involved in such a serious incident. When he learned about it, he couldn't sit still. Later, he revealed Athena's true identity to the entire family. He brought Preston and Kit to help. To his relief, both were very cooperative. No one was unwilling. Even Ariana had come along. Preston and Kit were equally silent and cooperative. Kit's eyes showed worry for Athena, his mood tense.Preston had feelings he couldn't quite describe. He'd never imagined Athena was actually his sister. No wonder their father had helped her so much. The blood test results came back quickly. It was a perfect match! The fresh, precious blood was continuously sent into the operating room. With sufficient blood supply, the surgery could proceed smoothly. In the corridor, the atmosphere remained tense but it had eased considerably thanks to this unexpected turn of events. Zaden finally had the opportunity to carefully observe this "father-in-law" who'd suddenly appeared. Fabio was also looking at him, his gaze sharp as a hawk's. "Mr. Rice, are you really Athena's father?" Zaden spoke first, his tone respectful yet tinged with confusion. Fabio nodded. His authoritative face showed a trace of complexity and guilt. "Yes! For many years I couldn't be by her side." His voice dropped, carrying barely concealed regret. "But I never stopped watching over her." Fabio slowly revealed some unknown past events. Years ago, he and Athena's mother had been torn apart by the Rices. Later, when he accidentally learned of Athena's existence, he'd been quietly watching over his daughter's growth through various means. He knew she had excellent grades. He knew she'd become an outstanding surgeon. He even knew she'd married Lewis. "That marriage ... I didn't approve of it." Fabio's eyes turned cold. "But Athena is stubborn. If I'd intervened forcefully, it would only have pushed her further away. I could only keep watch from the shadows." He knew when Athena was injured, about her marriage falling apart, even about her search for her child. He knew it all. Fabio had been working behind the scenes all along, using his connections and resources to quietly clear away some obstacles for her, providing help that went unnoticed. Kit was someone he'd sent to Athena's side to help her. "This time I saw the message you put out. After investigating, I learned Athena was in trouble and needed blood." Fabio glanced at the operating room, his gaze heavy. "Her two brothers and I rushed back as fast as we could. Fortunately we made it in time." Fabio's story hit Zaden like a freight train, each revelation sending shockwaves through him.
