Looking at the beautiful black-haired woman in front of him, Brandon blinked in surprise.
'…Mother?'
Marzella let go of his hand and pointed at the nearby blood donation camp, "Do you wish to donate blood?"
Brandon stared at her for a long moment and he shook his head slightly, trying to clear his thoughts as he replied.
"Uh... sure. I can donate."
Marzella smiled faintly as she gestured for him to follow her "Come with me. The process is quick and painless."
Brandon followed her into the blood donation camp with his eyes still fixed on her back as he tried to make sense of the situation.
Marzella had a slight frown on her face 'This youngman looks promising. I need strong blood to continue my experiment.'
'If the government knew that I am collecting blood samples in the name of donation... for my research, they would kill me.'
'Especially, since my research is to create a man who can use ether...'
