It's well known.
After humans transform into vampires, they need to drink blood. Only by drinking blood during the transformation can they become real vampires.
But drinking blood is blood.
Blood transfusion is also blood.
Moreover, it's intravenous transfusion, like taking medicine and getting an IV; the two cannot be compared in terms of efficiency.
So...
"Holy shit!"
"God!"
Gwen followed Hawk's strange expression and glanced at the blood bag, instantly realizing what was happening. She let out a scream, pulled out the blood bag, and tossed the half-full bag onto the floor like it was a hot potato.
But it was already too late.
George, at that moment, under the influence of intravenous transfusion, was rushing headlong toward becoming a vampire at full speed.
However, Helen, who had just seen off the doctor and witnessed Gwen pulling out her father's blood bag, froze in shock!
"Gwen!"
"Mom..."
Gwen looked at Helen, who shouted her name and was walking toward her with twitching lips, and quickly said, "Wait, Mom, it's not what you think."
Helen glanced at the blood bag Gwen had thrown to the ground and then at Gwen's panicked expression, taking a deep breath.
"You better have a perfect explanation, young lady."
"..."
Hawk, standing nearby, heard Helen's words and twitched his lips slightly, but didn't dare to speak.
Even at twenty, Gwen couldn't be described as a young lady.
But in a mother's eyes, no matter how old their daughter is, she's always a young lady.
Also...
Helen was really angry.
Hawk thought as he looked at his fiancée, who was glancing at him for help, and gave her a look of helplessness.
He couldn't help with this.
If he dared to speak up, Helen would scold him too.
No joke.
So!
Hawk didn't dare speak.
But George did.
Sitting on the hospital bed, the moment Gwen pulled out the blood bag and tossed it to the floor, a trace of blood appeared in George's pupils. He stared at the blood seeping out of the bag on the floor.
An indescribable, overwhelming thirst suddenly welled up in his heart.
It was as if a voice was screaming at him.
"Drink the blood!"
"Drink the blood now!"
"Drink it all!"
But George was only lost in thought for a few seconds. Then, relying on the strong self-control he'd developed over many days at the police station without going along with the flow, he managed to restrain himself.
But it was obvious.
He had a problem.
Thinking about the case he was secretly investigating and Hawk's direct question about the 'vampire,' a terrifying thought occurred to him.
So...
George came to his senses, looked at his serious-faced wife, and said, "Helen, I asked Gwen to pull it out. Go check on Mahoney and the others in the operating room."
Helen frowned deeply at George.
"George..."
"I'm fine, go on."
George interrupted Helen, smiling as he spoke.
Helen saw this and then looked at Gwen holding George's arm, shook her head in amusement, and said to George, "Just spoil her."
Hawk remained silent.
But Helen didn't let him off the hook either.
Before leaving, Helen gave Hawk a playful glare.
"And you, just spoil her too."
"..."
Hawk watched Helen's departing back, blinked, and then said to Gwen, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't say a word."
Gwen smiled at Hawk.
"Don't you spoil me?"
"What do you think?"
Hawk responded, looking at Gwen with fond exasperation.
Gwen beamed with joy.
Sitting on the hospital bed, George, watching the two gazing into each other's eyes, turned extremely somber and coughed twice.
Gwen reacted quickly, looking at George anxiously.
"Dad."
"What's happening to me?"
George looked up at Hawk.
Hawk didn't speak, only looking at Gwen.
Understanding, George also looked at Gwen.
"What's happening to me?"
"Dad..."
"Gwen."
"You're being transformed."
"Transformed into what?"
"A v-vampire."
Gwen spoke, cautiously watching George.
At this moment, she also saw in George's eyes that, due to the halted transfusion, a few traces of blood-red began to appear deep in his eyes.
Hearing Gwen's words, George instinctively wanted to refute.
But...
He looked at Gwen's expression, then at Hawk's face, and fell silent.
After a while.
George took a deep breath.
"So, vampires do exist."
"Dad!"
Gwen, hearing George's muttering, looked at him worriedly and comforted him, "Actually, becoming a vampire isn't all bad. Caroline is a vampire."
George turned to look at Gwen.
"Caroline?"
"Yeah, my cousin, the one from Waterfall Town."
"I know."
George nodded, as Caroline's image floated into his mind: "She's a vampire too."
Gwen nodded, "Yes, I only found out when I went back to Waterfall Town with Hawk this time."
At this point, Gwen seemed to remember something.
"Oh, Dad, when did you drink vampire blood?"
"What?"
"Vampire blood."
Gwen briefly explained to George the process of how a human could become a vampire, then asked him, "So, Dad, which vampire let you drink their blood?"
George didn't answer, instead looking at Gwen with a strange expression.
Gwen blinked as she looked at George watching her.
