Esther understood what Tinkerbell meant. She was trying to say that she was ill and did not want to become a burden.“Tinkerbell, you’re not a burden. You’re the best, best, best gift God has given me.”With her big eyes, Tinkerbell looked like she did not understand what Esther said. It took her some time before she said, “But… I don’t want you to be my mommy!”Without giving Esther any chance to react, she ran away.Esther’s legs felt extremely weighed down as she was reluctant to take even one step.Jasper approached her and advised, “Esther, the kids are going to bed. We should leave too.”“Jasper, can I take…”Jasper coughed and reminded her, “I understand what you feel, but it’s too reckless to assume Tinkerbell’s your daughter owing to a photo. Besides, they won’t let you take the child away just because you claim to be her mother as they have their rules and regulations.“If you want to take Tinkerbell home sooner, do two things now. One, go for the bone marrow transpla
After Bradley left the ward, he told the doctor, “Run a comprehensive check on Esther tomorrow. Nothing can go wrong in Felix’s surgery.”“Yes, Mr. Warner.”Esther’s legs gave way, and she slid to the floor after Bradley left. She got on the bed with difficulty and fetched her phone to read up on acute leukemia.Each case was terrifying, and she read with a thumping heart.She had done the first check in the hospital tonight, and the result would only come out tomorrow. Only then could she be determined to carry on with the second detailed check. If the second one was fine, she could donate her bone marrow to Tinkerbell.Esther read up on the information and memorized the knowledge she found about leukemia, including aftercare and more. As she read, she fell asleep gradually.Bradley returned to Felix’s ward, where the boy and Liliane were drawing with oil pastels.“Daddy,” Felix greeted him crisply.Once Bradley recalled that Felix had helped Esther trick the bodyguard, his fa
Esther’s phone rang in the ward. She looked at the anonymous number and answered it without hesitation.“Hello?”It was an incredibly sweet voice on the other end of the line. “Hello. Is this Ms. Esther Quill?”“Yes. Who’s speaking?”“Hi, I’m a hematology doctor at People’s Hospital. According to the result of your first test for bone marrow donation with us, you’re preliminarily confirmed to match one of our patients. Please come to the hospital for a second, more comprehensive test as soon as you can…”“Okay, okay. I’ll be right there.”When Esther heard that it was a call from People’s Hospital and was informed that her bone marrow was a match, she naturally assumed that she could donate it to Tinkerbell.She stood up in joy and quickly got changed to go to the hospital for the second test.Esther went to the balcony, only to discover that a female bodyguard was sitting on the first floor’s garden.“Ms. Quill?”The bodyguard greeted Esther when she saw her on the balcony.
“Please go on!” Jasper replied seriously.“Tinkerbell fell down when she went to the bathroom at midnight. She has been sent to the hospital now. Please go to the hospital as soon as you can if you’re able to,” said Camila.“Okay, I got it.”Jasper hung up and hesitated but called Esther in the end.“Esther, it’s me. Madam Janner just called me and said that Tinkerbell fell at midnight when she went to the bathroom. She has been sent to the hospital already. I’m coming to pick you up now. We have to go to the hospital now.”“Okay, come quickly!”Upon hearing that Tinkerbell had gotten hurt, Esther felt her heart throb in pain. She could finally understand why her chest hurt just now. Was this because they were bonded by blood?“Esther, I’ll get someone to shut down the main electricity of the Warners’ private hospital for a moment, but the supply will return shortly because they have their own electricity generators. You have to leave during that time. Can you do it?”“Yes,” Es
Noting their disadvantage, Jasper ordered the chauffeur, “Let’s go!”The chauffeur started the car, and the Bentley brushed past Bradley.Bradley looked at the car that sped off and returned to his own, stomping down on the accelerator and crashing into the car.With a bang, two luxury cars collided harshly.Esther’s repeated escape had only made Bradley’s rage burn his rationale away. He stepped on the pedal again to run the Bentley onto the pavement.Jasper kept Esther in his arms during the collision and nearly passed out from the collision.Bradley looked at the Bentley in front of him with a dark look and pulled out his phone to make a call.“Cole, get some men over.”Even with Jasper’s protection, Esther’s forehead was busted. Blood flowed like a small stream. She looked at Bradley, who felt murderous outside the car, and trembled in fear.Bradley got out of his car, looking like he could kill, and kicked the Bentley’s door open to pull Esther out brutally.His eyes wer
Esther’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Bradley’s back when he left.She gritted her teeth. The pain gave her a moment of consciousness, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth following the tape. A tear slowly slid into her hair from the corner of her eye.It was resentment that supported her as she clearly felt the cold needle push into her bone marrow…Under the anesthetic effect, the pair of resentful eyes finally closed in helplessness, indignation, and despair.Bradley held his chest tightly the moment he left the operation ward. He felt as if his heart was stabbed by hundreds and thousands of needles.Esther’s frenzied words echoed in his mind, and he turned around abruptly to look at the tightly shut doors of the operation ward. He pulled out his phone and instructed hastily, “Cole, get the samples of the twins at Sunflower Welfare to do a paternity test with me right now.”Cole did not understand why Bradley wanted to do that, but he replied respect
"The patient's condition changes rapidly." The pediatrician was quiet momentarily before saying heavily, "As doctors, we can't be certain how the illness will progress next, either. I suggest seeking a compatible bone marrow as soon as possible. The bone marrow transplant should happen the sooner, the better.""Run a detailed test on me." Jasper volunteered."Okay, I'll get the nurse to do it for you now."Jasper held the doctor's hand sincerely and pleaded, "No matter how much money or the price, please save her. You have to save her."Cole watched as Jasper left with the nurse.He could not move a step as his legs felt so heavy."Doctor, can I go in and see her?"Cole could barely imagine that the cutie pie who called him "Uncle Cole" so sweetly would be lying on the cold hospital bed like this."Yeah."Cole entered the emergency ward.Tinkerbell was hooked up with various tubes from various machines that were beeping gratingly.Cole observed her face seriously. Perhaps Ja
The light above the door of the operation ward finally turned from red to green.In his surgical gown, the top-class surgeon approached Bradley and said in delight, “Mr. Warner, Mr. Felix’s surgery is a success. His recovery follows after this. If all goes well, he can go back to living a normal life.”Bradley, who had been having butterflies in his stomach, finally felt relieved.“Cole, reward all the medical personnel involved in the operation with an additional one-year bonus.”Cole replied, “Yes, sir.”There was a wash of joy in Bradley’s eyes. He looked at Felix in the room through the glass and asked, “When can I go in and see him?”“After 72 hours.”Bradley nodded. “I’ll leave him to you then.”As for Esther, who was in the surgery ward, Bradley did not even have it in him to spare her a glance. Now that Felix’s surgery was a success, she had lost her value.“Cole, inform the company’s finance department to give every employee a three-month bonus.”“Yes, sir,” answered
