Quick, take this kind of samaritan to do a blood test. You have my permission to collect her blood once the result

After a while, the nurse noticed something was wrong so she asked worriedly, “Ma’am, are you okay? You don’t
look too good. Is there any medical history I should know about?”
Corinne shook her head. “No. I’m perfectly healthy though I am two months pregnant.”
The nurse was shocked. “What? You’re pregnant? Oh no! You can’t donate your blood then.”
She then quickly ripped off the tube and pressed a cotton ball onto Corinne’s wound.
“It’s okay. I’m confident about my health. A little blood donation wouldn’t hurt me or the baby. Please continue,”
Corinne assured the nurse.
The nurse shook her head and said, “No, I won’t allow you to donate your blood since it’s not recommended to do

“No! I won’t do it no matter what!” The nurse looked at the half-full blood bag. “This might not be enough but it’s

Lilin listened to the conversation between Corinne and the nurse. Even though she was still a kid, she understood
what was going on. She looked tearfully at the nurse and asked, “Miss Nurse, is my mommy going to be okay? I
heard you say that we wouldn’t be able to use this lady’s blood because she’s pregnant.
The nurse wanted to comfort her but she did not want to lie to her either. She sighed helplessly and said, ” If we
