How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 86

As soon as the words left her mouth, Pollock slapped Rhoda hard across the face. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

He glared at her, voice trembling with anger. "Our daughter's just suffered a terrible accident, and now you've lost your mind!"

Around them, the hospital staff and other families had already begun whispering, casting blame on Jeannette, who lay unconscious in the ER, as well as on Pollock and Rhoda. It seemed everyone had taken Blanche's side.

Loraine and Eddy, for their part, would never risk turning against Blanche in a situation like this.

If they spoke the truth now, they'd be torn apart by public outrage. Even if Jeannette survived, her reputation would be ruined, and Eddy would abandon her without a second thought.

So they kept silent. Even if they lost this child, they still had Lara.

As long as Lara was around, Eddy wouldn't turn his back on Jeannette or on them.

Blanche, watching Rhoda take slap after slap, couldn't help but feel a small, cold satisfaction.

A nurse appeared, her tone urgent. "The doctors are doing everything they can for the mother, but our blood supply is running low. She has a very rare blood type—AB negative. Who here has it? We need a donor, now!"

"I do!" Pollock answered instantly, rushing forward. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he spun around and pointed at Blanche. "She's got the same blood type—take her blood for my daughter!"

"She pushed my daughter down the stairs. She owes her this much!"

In that moment, Blanche looked at Eddy. He didn't say a word to stop them. Did he want her to donate, too?

Loraine cut in, her voice sharp. "My daughter-in-law does have AB negative blood, but she's not well, and she's pregnant. She didn't push anyone—she has nothing to atone for!"

"One donor is enough. Come with me, quickly," the nurse said, growing impatient.

Pollock shot Blanche a resentful glare, then hurried after the nurse with Rhoda trailing behind.
