From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 403

**TITLE: Her Rise 403**
**Chapter 403: Unexpected Saviors**

“My wife is in the emergency room, battling for her life, and Maya is the one to blame for this chaos! I won’t let it go unpunished!” Zaden’s voice quaked with barely contained rage, his eyes blazing with a fierce, fiery intensity that could ignite the very air around him.

Amidst the restless crowd, Fabio stood, his gaze sweeping over the anxious faces before finally locking onto Zaden. The man appeared disheveled, yet there was an undeniable strength radiating from him, a quiet resolve that commanded attention. In a calm, yet resonant tone, he declared, “I’m not here to confront you, Zaden.”

Zaden’s brow knitted in confusion. If Fabio wasn’t here to settle scores, what was his purpose at this critical juncture?

Before Zaden could voice his swirling thoughts, Fabio pressed on, urgency lacing his words. “Athena is in critical condition and needs blood transfusions, correct?”

A frown etched deeper into Zaden’s features as he retorted, “How do you know this?”

“My sons and I are all Type B blood donors. We can save Athena!” Fabio’s tone was firm and authoritative, leaving no room for doubt. Just then, Ariana rushed forward, her expression fierce and determined. “If their blood isn’t enough, take mine too!”

Zaden stood frozen, momentarily at a loss for words. The unexpected offer left him grappling with disbelief.

Why would the Rices, a family he had always viewed from a distance, suddenly step forward to assist?

Ariana, her voice sharp with urgency, chided him, “What are you waiting for? Zaden, if anything happens to my granddaughter, you will be held accountable! Get them tested and draw the blood now!”

Granddaughter?

The revelation hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. Everyone froze, including Zaden, as the weight of her words settled in like a thick fog. He had never heard Athena speak much about her parents. All he knew was that they had passed away years ago, leaving her to navigate a cruel world alone. The realization that Fabio was her father struck him like a bolt from the blue.

Yet there was no time for shock or contemplation; Athena’s safety was paramount.

Zaden’s voice steadied, urgency threading through his words. “The situation is dire. The blood bank is nearly empty, and reinforcements are still on their way!”

Fabio’s response was unwavering, his determination palpable. “Take our blood!”

He gestured emphatically, pointing at himself and then at his two sons, Preston and Kit, who stood resolutely behind him. “Me and my two sons. We are all Type B. We can save Athena.”

The room buzzed with astonishment. Just when they had been grappling with the fear of insufficient blood, three willing donors emerged from the shadows.

Zaden felt a surge of hope, a wild joy igniting within him amidst the despair. “Get them tested right away!” he instructed the nurse, his voice firm.

The nurse promptly guided the three unexpected donors to the blood collection area, and the process began with a quiet efficiency that felt almost surreal.
