Claire

"I'm really sorry about what's going on with Issy." I say to Sabrina while rubbing alcohol on her arm

When I found out about what happened to Issy, I quickly rush into surgery with Zach. I'm glad that we had a heart for Issy, otherwise she wouldn't be living. While Zach was talking to Gabe and Sabrina, I was observing Issy's heart. Her heart as so small and weak. It looks as if the heart was a heart of an infant, which meant she was a premature baby, but she didn't have a lot of care. I think everything I've been investigating about Issy is finally paying off, but I think I need to investigate a little more.

Sabrina smiles, "Yeah, I'm just glad that she's going to live. I can't wait until I get the paper's signed so she can be my permanent daughter."

I chuckle, "Hey speaking of daughters." I place the needle in her arm, "How did you say your first daughter Isabella die again? Zach only told me a few things about her death."

Sabrina deeply sighs, "While I was in a coma, Gabe told me that she had a high fever and none of the nurse's knew what was going on with her. He told me that they tried everything they could to keep her alive, but she died a few hours later."

"They didn't tell you about her death?"

I gently take the needle out of her arm and place a band aid on her arm. "No." I say, "Gabe told me what happen that day you had a panic attack." I hand her a cookie and a cup of apple juice

"Thank you for donating today." I smile

She drinks the juice and eat the cookie. "It's nothing." She smiles, "I just want to see my daughter alive." She gets up with her trash.

"Oh," I grab her cup, "I'll throw that away for you."

"Thanks Claire." She smiles leaving the room."

As soon as she leaves, I grab a Ziplock bag in the cabinet, place the cup inside, and write her name on the bag. I hand the bag to one of the nurse's Emily and tell her to put it in my office. I walk across the hall and open the door to see Gabriel in the room on his phone. "Okay Mr. Renzo." I wash my hands and put on a pair of gloves, "Are you ready to draw some blood?" I smile sitting on the stool.

"I'm ready if it means saving my daughter's life," He says.

I chuckle, "Sabrina said the same thing." I rub alcohol on his arm, "I also talk to her about your first daughter. Whatever happen to her?" I ask pressing the needle in his arm

"I don't know, I came here one day to see Sabrina when she was in a coma and Isabella, when a nurse came up to me telling the bad news about her," He says.

I take the needle out of his arm, throwing it away, and placing the band aid on his arm. "Do you remember what nurse's names was?" I ask handing him a cookie and a cup of juice

He eats the cookie first then drinks his juice. "I remember her first name was Jamie, because she told me. But when I looked at her name tag. All I saw was first name and the initial of her last name, which was the letter T." He hands me the cup he drank out of

I nod and grab the cup, "Well thank you for drawing blood today." I smile

"It's nothing." He smiles leaving the room

After He leaves, I put his cup in a separate Ziplock bag and write his name on the bag. I grab both Gabe's and Sabrina' s pints of blood and give them to Zack so he can test them and start on Issy's surgery. I walk to my office and grabs the Ziplock that Emily left in my off. I get on the elevator and go up to the 12th floor to the DNA Lab. I knock on the and open it to see Dr. Regina Scott working. "Hey Claire." She greets, "Do you, have it?" She asks.
