Scarlett's POV
I laugh, rolling my eyes: "There really isn't. The technique is pretty mature now. You just feel some
mild discomfort for about a week, and a bit tired for a while, but that's it. So long as you don't
donate multiple times within 6 months, it's totally safe."
Lilith stares at me, and so does Aurora. | drink my lemonade, playing calm. I'm a really bad liar. But
1 don't want to describe the real pain to them. What's the point, it's over now.
6 months is the safe period for a reason. For up to several months after the donation you can feel
