Cord blood?
Nora was slightly taken aback to hear that. She said, "My cord blood is still around?"
Lisa nodded. "Yes. Mom says that back then, when Aunt Yvette… when your mom gave birth to you, she had insisted on banking your cord blood. To be honest, this wasn't a popular practice in the country at that time and wasn't widely promoted in hospitals, either, so it was very expensive. However, she was very stubborn about it and said that you would need it in the future. Mom had said that you definitely won't, so she mustn't say that…"
Lisa had also been a little surprised when she heard about it from Irene.
Banking cord blood was just a sort of insurance. Nobody would wish for it to come into use.
After all, once one needed it, it would mean that they had blood disorders.
So, how could Nora's mother say such a thing back then?
