027 How to Blackmail A Billionaire
Scarlett’s POV
“Yep.” Aurora grins at Lilith, 1 was shocked, too, three days ago. If I didn’t see her floating out of the Fuller’s Villa like a ghost, I wouldn’t have believed that she’s over that jerk, either.”
That was hellish of a day. I didn’t know I was having a low fever until Aurora found me sitting by the pool. I wouldn’t have had any strength to walk out if she didn’t go in to look for me.
“No need to trash him. He has the right to not love me,” I shake my head, “I was the one at fault, and I learned my lesson now.”
“Sure, but he didn’t have to torture your Aurora grunts, rolling her eyes, “Besides, he is the one agreeing to the deal, and HE didn’t deliver his end! It’s totally not worth it!”
I laugh at the ranting Aurora, suddenly feeling so much better about this whole thing. She is wrong, but it IS a pleasure to be favored without reason. No wonder Ava likes it
“Wait, what’s not worth it? Lilith gasps, staring at Aurora, “Scar finally told you about the deal?!”
They only knew I had “something” Sebastian wanted, and I forced his hand with it. I told Aurora everything after the fallout. There was no hiding when I basically left the Fullers as a walking dead.
“Hmmm…” I cut in before Aurora could tell her, hesitating Aurora purses her lips.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I don’t want to let too many know about the blood transfusion thing, because I don’t want to paint myself as a victim. That’s Ava’s specialty Besides, with Lilith’s temper, there is little telling what she would do if she knew about Jack Fuller’s deal
“What?” Lilith darts her eyes between me and Aurora. “What can’t I know?”
I suddenly understand why Lilith would struggle to tell me that secret Sometimes there are things that you keep from your loved ones, only to protect them have told us, Scar, a long time ago,” Aurora says gently. She is the most sensitive amc. and she is the most mature, 1 understand your concern, but we are not ‘people‘, we are your friends, and we would understand you.
I should. I should have years ago, instead of clinging to the family that didn’t want me.
“You know that Ava has Willebrand, right?” I look at Lilith, “She is also RH- type, same as me.”
Lilith frowns: “That’s what they used to summon‘ you for? That’s the deal? Your blood???!”
Not just that.
doctor Taking a deep breath, I take my friends back to the dark day five years ago: “Back then, Ava’s o proposed an unprecedented treatment, bone marrow transplantation I was the best–matched doner
“You WHAT?!”
There aren’t too many people in the bar, still, Lilith’s shout got us a lot of glances.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Donating bone marrow? How does that even work? Does it hurt? Would that harm your body? Is there any permanent damage to you???” Lilith caught on Aurora’s machine style, grabbing me as if she wanted to lift my shirt to check the scar.
“Relax, Lilith, there is no permanent damage,” Aurora hugs me as if worried that I’m a glass doll and Lilith would break me, 1 checked, A LOT.”
I do remember Aurora on her laptop a lot while she was taking care of me when I was in those in–and–out three dizzy days.
“Okay, that’s good…” Lilith takes my hand, still worried, “does it hurt though? What am I thinking, of course it does!”
“It was…okay…” I mumble, darting my eyes away.
It does hurt, a lot. Anesthetic my ass! How they do it is that they inject anesthetic before they pierce the vertebra and pull out the liquid in there. The thing is, the injection of anesthetic, is done by piercing the bone while you can feel every ounce of the pain, and it HURTS.
I was so scared every time they did that, but at that time, I did it with bitter pleasure–thinking I was doing it for Sebastian. Thanks to my stupidity, the pain wasn’t what I remember the most in those processes.
“You sure there is no harm to your body though?” Lilith stares at me with suspicious eyes, “I do not trust you on this because even if there is, you would still do it for him!”
