Seeing Evander didn't even turn around, she yelled, voice breaking with rage and desperation, “Evander! You betrayedfirst! You married another woman, you betrayed me!

Not long after, a nurse appeared. “Is the patient's family here?" He stood instantly. "I'm her husband. What's wrong?" "She has Rh-negative blood. We're running low on Rh-negative blood transfusion packs in our supply." He froze. "What did you say?" Charlotte has Rh-negative blood?
