Chapter 57: Bombay Blood Type
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Judging by their appearance, they were obviously not scammers. No scammer could ever pass through the airport’s security check. She sat there quietly and decided to wait. There would be a time where the answer would be revealed.
Soon after, the sound of a helicopter could be heard. As Yun Xiangxiang turned her head over, she saw multiple medics along with two men dressed in military uniform. They carried a stretcher and jumped down from the helicopter.
There were more than one helicopters. More patients were being pushed into the hospital. In the other two helicopters came down a few people who were also in military uniform. They were very fit, and their gazes were sharp and stout. These kind of gazes could only be possessed by those who were used to killing.
For example, agents or mercenaries …
“Miss Yun Xiangxiang, please come with us.”
Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts were interrupted. The other party seemed calm, but his tone sounded a little eager. Watching his hurried pace, Yun Xiangxiang cooperated with him and sped up as well.
After Yun Xiangxiang changed into a set of aseptic clothes, they took her to a treatment room. The room was very big and segmented with lights reflecting shadows of human silhouettes. They were doing an operation.
A beautiful nurse asked Yun Xiangxiang to lay down on the bed in order to make preparations for blood transfer.
“Do you have time to conduct a blood test?”
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but remind her. The opposite party was obviously someone with prestige. If he had any problems thanks to her blood, she didn’t want to die in vain because of that.
“Don’t worry, we already looked through it very carefully,” the nurse nodded her head, “Your blood is indeed the Bombay blood type.”
Bombay blood type!
Although her educational level was not that high, these people better not lie to her about her blood type.
Bombay blood type was a very rare blood type, and the chance of someone possessing it was one in hundreds of thousands. These blood types also included the lacking ABH antigen (para-Bombay phenotype) as well as the lack of H antigen (Bombay phenotype). Cancelling out the possibilities of it being the blood type which lacks ABH antigens. The chance of one having it becomes one in a million.
This also means that while China has over billions of citizens. There would only be a little over a hundred people that have this blood type. Not everyone had a recording of their blood type when donating or checking their blood type.
The usual ABO blood type test cannot detect the Bombay blood type, and was often mistaken as an O blood type. If further research wasn’t conducted, and blood type O was transfused, it would arise an incident caused by blood transfusion.
Coincidentally, when Yun Xiangxiang was donating blood, her blood type was classified as O type, and was donated to others. This almost caused a medical incident to occur, and thanks to it, she was able to be found out so quickly. Up until now, she still thought that her blood type was the normal O type blood.
After all, Yun Zhibin was B blood type, and Su Xiuling was O blood type. They both had gone through blood transfusion without any problems, which meant that their blood types were very normal.
As Yun Xiangxiang was transfusing her blood, she thought to herself. If it wasn’t because of me being so unlucky to inherit my parents’ recessive genes, then it should be because of a genetic mutation.
In order to make her less nervous, the gentle nurse explained about the characteristics of Bombay blood type softly beside her ear. She was an exceptional student in all subjects, and that included biology. So she was able to grasp the concept of generic pairing very quickly.
Four hundred millimeters of blood, which was the maximum amount of blood a person could donate in one go, was extracted from Yun Xiangxiang. However, she did not show any signs of discomfort, so the process went on. After eight hundred millimeters of blood had been extracted, she felt a little weak and looked at the nurse.
“Wait a moment.” The nurse soothed her immediately, and went out of the room for a while. When she came back in, a man in white coat followed her.
“Ms. Yun Xiangxiang, out of all the people we found who had the same blood type, only your body is in perfect health condition. Because of that, we might have to extract about thirty percent of your blood,” the man in white coat lowered his voice and told Yun Xiangxiang. “Don’t worry, we will ensure that your life would not be in danger.”
“What if I refuse?” asked Yun Xiangxiang.
“We will stop immediately,” he answered without hesitation.
“What if I refused on the plane?” Yun Xiangxiang asked again.
“You would have arrived at Hong Kong by now.”
“Go ahead.”
As an actor, not many people could pretend in front of her. These people also didn’t seem like they were bluffing.
Once the human body lost twenty percent of their blood, that person would become seriously anemic. After the thirty percent threshold, their life might be in danger. This was a risky choice. A person had to receive blood transfusion if they lacked thirty five percent of their blood.
Yun Xiangxiang slowly began to feel her hands and legs turn cold and her vision growing dark. However, she hadn’t reached the stage where her brain was starting to lack oxygen.
As Yun Xiangxiang almost couldn’t take it anymore, the extraction finally stopped. A few doctors took turns to look at her condition through multiple data reports . After confirming that she had no problems, someone gave her a bowl of medicine. The medicine was dark red and concentrated, resembling blood. However, Yun Xiangxiang knew that it wasn’t blood since blood couldn’t be replenished this way.
She did not ask anything, and insisted on drinking it slowly. After getting the nurse’s permission, she finally slept.
The nap took a whole day. As she woke up, a few drips were still attached onto her hands. It should be some sort of nutrition drip.
The nurse that was watching her was very happy when Yun Xiangxiang woke up, “You’re awake. Five more minutes and the process should be complete, lay down a little longer.
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to go to the toilet, but as she looked up at the remaining water left in the bottle, she decided to hold it in.
She silently checked out the whole ward. The design was quite high-classed, as there was even a kitchen and a living room in the ward. As she looked out the window, an outstanding beauty and natural looking face entered her sight.
He leaned slightly on the hospital bed, as if he was resting his eyes. From Yun Xiangxiang’s point of view, she could see his long, thick and curly eyelashes which resembled a butterfly which opened its wings. His face was a little pale, as if it was carved by the prettiest white jade. His eyebrows which were sharp like swords made him look very manly. His lips which barely had any signs of blood were exceptionally attractive, like a rose bud.
He was brimming with elegance. No sun or moon could ever compete with it.
This was definitely the most flawless man Yun Xiangxiang had seen in her life.
Maybe it was because Yun Xiangxiang’s gaze was too focused that the man opened his eyes and looked at her.
Those magnificent gem-like purple-black eyes caused Yun Xiangxiang to be dazed for a moment. She initially thought that he already looked perfect enough with his eyes closed, but as he opened his eyes, even the brightest jewels paled in comparison to his eyes.
“It’s you…” Yun Xiangxiang’s tone was a little weak. She had seen these eyes before during that night in Hong Kong.
She only saw this pair of eyes that day, but she was confident that no one could ever replicate these eyes.
So beautiful and so mesmerizing.
The man just nodded lightly at her before turning his head back and closing his eyes again.
The water in the bottle was finished. After pulling out the needles, she struggled to get down from the bed, but her whole body was very weak.
“I want to go to the bathroom.” Yun Xiangxiang almost crumbled into the nurse’s body. Her voice was soft and weak.
There were two toilets in the ward. After Yun Xiangxiang finished using the toilet, the nurse brought a pail of hot water to let her wipe her face. After feeling more refreshed, someone brought her a bowl of medicine, and another bowl of medicinal porridge after she finished her medicine.
There were four people who were taking care of her back and forth.
