Luo’s last day at the Sy law firm finally came. She was packing up the last bit of her things in her office. Almost everyone was already aware of her leaving and going away. No one was even shocked at the news but rather everyone expected it when they heard about Attorney Luo’s resignation and her shifting to another legal firm, since the latter already had a trademark of an emotionless lawyer who would always jump on the greener side of the fence.

Everyone presumed that Yao’s legal firm must have given her an offer that was too hard to refuse. They were all curious to know what Yao firm offered to her, but no one dared to ask Luo.

“Are you sure about it?” Daryl asked her with a crumpled face. Luo laughed while she put the last book on her shelf in her luggage.

“Why are you laughing? I can’t believe that Liam let you go so easily. Didn’t he bargain a better offer for you to stay? Liam is not stingy…” Daryl mumbled with pouty lips. Luo was the best among the rest of them all, so he could not believe that Liam would just let her go that easily.

“Honestly… I feel so bored Daryl. I want some challenges to go on, I want to try something new now. You know me…” Luo plainly responded and gave him one of her boxes.

“Here, help me bring this to my car. Don’t worry, we can still hang out and grab some drinks with you sometimes. I’m just a call away dude.” She said in a jest.

Daryl sighed and walked with her outside her office. Luo was like one of the boys and his drinking buddy most of the time. “Promise me you’ll be a call away or else I’ll go pull you out from that firm.” Daryl childishly grunted that made Luo laugh more.

Daryl liked Luo a lot because she was the cowboy type who could blend well with everyone. He was too comfortable with her as well.

“Damn, should I also transfer?” Daryl beamed as he put Luo’s box at the back of her car.

“Stop that. Stay here with the boss. He needs you more after I leave. Beside it’s not like I will not come back here. Next time, before you even know it, I will be back here again. I just want to see how things will go with me at Yao legal firm and check if they are really on the same level now as Sy law firm as rumor has it.” Luo commented.

Soon she left and drove out from the Sy Building. She was humming as she drove to her condo unit. Luo’s mobile phone rang, and she smiled, seeing it was her mother.

She answered it and put it on loudspeaker, “Yes mom?”

“Oh God, Faith, your father…” she heard her mother say, stuttering because of crying hard.

“What happened mom?” Luo asked.

“We…. We are here in the… hospital… father had… an accident.” her mother continued.

“Where mom? Where are you now?” Luo burst as she pulled the car on the side, waiting for the name of the hospital. As soon as her mother told her about the hospital, Luo drove as fast as she could.

Inside the hospital, she ran and saw her mother standing impatiently outside the operating room.

“What happened mom?” Luo asked with a worried tone. She tried to calm herself, seeing the panicked and devastated look of her mother. She must stay strong as her pillar.

“I don’t know. Someone called the house and informed me he is here. The doctor needs to operate on him immedia…”

They both looked at the door of the operating room that suddenly opened. A woman in a scrub suite mentioned their father’s name and Luo quickly asked, “How is he?”

“Are you the guardian?” the woman in the scrub suite asked and Luo nodded.

“We need to do more blood transfusion but unfortunately we ran out of blood type B+”

“I’m also type B. You can use my blood,” Luo heard her mother speak.

“No mom! You’re anemic! Get mine…” Luo said, and the woman gave her an instruction to go to the blood bank section immediately so they could test her blood for compatibility, so Luo hurried there that instant.

She was escorted inside the blood bank where the medical technologist got her sample first to check her blood type compatibility.

After a few minutes, the medical technologist approached her and said, “I’m sorry ma’am but can we get another sample from you?”

Luo, confused, did not ask and let the woman get another blood sample.

After a few more minutes, the woman approached her and said, “I’m sorry ma’am but your blood type is not compatible. Your father is B+ and you’re A+”

Luo was about to ask the woman for further explanation when another woman on the phone interrupted and said, “Yang Globals has B+ blood available, to exchange with.”

The other woman who was talking to her previously gave an instruction to her co-staff before getting back to Luo.

“Ma’am, blood samples from Yang Globals are now being rushed to our hospital to be used for your father.” the woman explained.

Luo heaved a sigh of relief but then something was bugging her so she asked, “Miss you said my blood type is A+ right? But both my parents are type B+? Is that anyhow possible?”

The woman’s face paled and she could not answer her that instant. So Luo asked again. She did not know her parent’s blood type, or rather she never paid attention to this weird thing between them until just now. How was her blood group different from that of her father and mother now?

“Is this possible due to any reason?”

The woman looked at her hesitatingly and said, “No ma’am…”

Luo’s face paled. She walked out of the blood bank section and weakly sat on the nearest bench. She grabbed her mobile phone and typed something on google search.

She bit her lip. Seeing B type parents’ child could only either have an O or B type child.

But she was A+… That only meant one thing… She was not her parents’ biological daughter. Luo felt something suddenly stuck inside her heart. Her parents had always been very good to her. Though they were poor, they still tried their best to give her everything they could.

Tears ran down her eyes… Never had she felt that she was not their daughter at all. They had raised her with pure love, and yet she was often stubborn while growing up as their daughter. She stood up and rushed to her mother, whom she hugged so tightly as if she would leave her and go away somewhere.

“I love you mom… You and dad… I love you both very much.” she whispered several times because she couldn’t remember when was the last time she had said those words to her parents. Probably when she was still a kid.
