It wasn't because you didn't want to help." His words took Rachel by surprise. "You don't blme?" He gave a small nod. "No. I believe in you. Carol means a lot to you, and I know your concern for her is genuine." "Thank you!" Rachel couldn't deny that his unwavering trust caught her off guard, almost stirring something in her. Yet it was too late. The warmth she might have felt before was now long gone, replaced by a lingering numbness.
Brian exhaled slowly. "Also... I owe you an apology. I understand everything about Huey Dury now. I'll make sure his girlfriend gets a spot in the clinical trial and prioritize her case." Rachel froze, clearly not expecting that.

I'd like to hear her thanks in person, or better yet, see if there's any way I can offer her even greater support." Rachel couldn't deny that his offer was genuinely compelling. If Myrna could truly receive significant help, it would be something worth celebrating. After a brief moment of consideration, Rachel finally nodded. "Alright. I'll give you a call the next tI visit her." "I'll be waiting," Brian responded quietly.
As Rachel turned to leave, Brian's lips parted slightly, as though he wanted to say something-but then he shut his mouth. He longed to ask if something was wrong with her health. Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse to donate blood. But the words died in his throat, and his courage failed him.

Even if I do, I know I won't get a wink of sleep. Please letstay!" "Doris, you have to understand," Brian said gently. "Dad and I will stay with her. You need to rest.'

Rachel gave a polite nod.
"Understood. I'll head back nowin Aron acknowledged her with a subtle nod of approval.
"Con, Doris. We're leaving," Debby said. She moved to support Doris, but not before shooting Rachel a scornful look. "See how considerate Doris is toward Carol? Unlike certain people who are nothing but ungrateful. Imagine having the nerve to sleep soundly at a tlike this."
Hector's expression darkened, his mouth opening to protest-but m Rachel gently stopped him with a light touch on his arm. Once the two were out of sight, Hector turned to Rachel, frowning. "Didn't you letspeak up just now?"
