When the man came back, there were two nurses following after him.

The entire process was very quick. After a few questions and tests that confirmed Luisa was in fact, AB negative, they disinfected the area, prepped her and began to extract the blood.

After two pints of blood, one of the nurses pulled out the needle and placed it onto the cart. "Alright, you're all good to go." The nurse smiled.

Luisa stood up to bid the nurse goodbye, but she felt drowsy. The world seemed to sway from side to side and her vision was beginning to blur.

"Luisa, are you alright?" Dina frowned. Her eyebrows were knitted together in worry.

"I-I'm fine." Luisa lied, her voice coming out tired and weak.

The nurse quickly realized the situation. They had taken too much blood out of her! Gosh, she's even too thin. They actually didn't confirmed if she was eligible for blood transfusion before taking too much blood from her..

"Here ma'am, have some green juice and apple slices from the hospital cafeteria. It'll help with your drowsy state." The nurse immediately handed her a glass of green liquid and a plate of apples.

"Thank you." Luisa said, taking the food offered to her. She sat back down to quietly munch and drink the juice.

"We'll start the surgery now." The nurse said, wheeling the blood into a different room. After a few minutes, the surgery sign turned on.

Dina sat in her chair, nervously nibbling her bottom lips as she patiently waited for the surgery to be over with. Luisa noticed how anxious Dina was. She was shaking one of her legs and tapping her fingers on her thighs. Knowing it was best to keep Dina's thoughts distracted, Luisa decided to probe and ask questions.

"Mm, Dina, you never told me which brother it was. Was it the first or second brother?" Luisa asked, sipping her juice and eating the fruits.

"Surprisingly, it's Older brother Alexander.." Dina sighed.

'Alexander...?' Luisa did a double take. She knew him. Because of his accomplishments with his young age, no one from New York Socialites will not know who he was. As the CEO of the Choi's Enterprise, the world knew him as the King of Business World. Ruthless and merciless, he had a tight hold with the Choi's Financial Influence in the world. Representing their family as one of the top three wealthiest family in America.

Luisa had known Dina since they were in their high school days but she didn't remember any encounters with Dina's older brother, considering he was a bit older than them.

"The reports are claiming it's a car accident, but my parents started a government investigation… They think it's an assassination attempt." Dina played with her fingers. Her usual bubbly and energetic voice was soft and quiet.

Luisa felt her heart clench at Dina's state. She leaned closer and pulled her into a sideways hug so that Dina was resting her head on Luisa's shoulders.

"I-I know I shouldn't worry because assassination attempts happen all the time to rich and powerful men. But none of them ever came this close."

Being a multi-billion business tycoon at the young age of twenty-seven, Dina's brother had gotten used to all sorts of attacks on him. He was usually prepared, but this time, he had let his guard down.

"W-what if, next time, the assassins succeed?" Dina was so shaken at the thought, she could barely speak properly.

Luisa hugged Dina tighter. "Dina, that's never going to happen. Your brother has the military and underground network one call away. Whoever did that to him was just lucky he was distracted with a very important contract deal."
