Elijah and Kasey stood outside their daughter's hospital room, gazing at her. Nala used to be full of life, but now she was frail and weak. Their hearts ached terribly like they had been crushed.A doctor approached with the latest test results.Kasey couldn't find the strength to look up, and Elijah hesitated but finally asked, "What do the results say?"The doctor sadly shook his head.Elijah clenched his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. Over the past few months, they had reached out to every possible relative, including the Chriss and Patton families, for compatibility tests, but none had matched. The latest test involved a distant Chriss relative.Elijah leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in pain while Kasey covered her face and wept.The doctor sighed and tried to console them, saying, "Ms. Nala's condition is currently stable. We can keep searching in the bone marrow registry, but it may take time.""What if we have another child?" Elijah suddenly asked. "I've

Zuko felt somewhat surprised after reflecting on the past few months. There had been no news from Elijah for about three or four months, and it turned out he was searching for someone."Do you know who he's looking for?" Zuko asked.Toph grinned and replied, "Why? Are you interested?""I'm not interested at all!" Zuko responded earnestly."So, you want to gossip about it?" Toph teased. "I didn't expect you to enjoy gossiping, too!"Zuko was about to protest, but Toph beat him to it by handing him a bear headgear."You... be a bear!" Toph declared with determination. "Entertain your daughter as a bear, and then I'll gossip about this with you!"Rolling his eyes, Zuko reluctantly put on the headgear and costume. He then hurried over to Persephone, raising his "paws" and letting out a playful roar.-Upon returning home, Zuko shared the matter with Lina."What? He's searching for... an illegitimate daughter?" Lina exclaimed."Yes," Zuko confirmed. He removed his suit, massaged

Chris still had questions. "Why did you go to the hospital?"Alexander's throat felt dry. He drank a large glass of water and slowly began to explain the whole story. Initially, he hadn't witnessed the scene at the hospital himself.One night, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. The Nala in his dream matched the description he had given earlier. He had woken up drenched in cold sweat, shivering, unable to fall back asleep. The same dream continued to haunt him.In the dream, Nala appeared helpless, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.Alexander's curiosity grew stronger, and he couldn't resist going to the hospital to learn more. The outcome was surprising."In the end, I really saw her," Alexander said in a hushed tone. "At that moment, she was seated in a wheelchair, with a nurse pushing her. I didn't dare approach her. I followed them until they reached her ward's door. I called her softly, and she turned to look at me. It was exactly like in my dream!"Chris and Lena were

When Sasha mentioned her reluctance to cooperate with the bone marrow typing, Kasey felt anxious and quickly agreed to her conditions."Kasey!" Elijah shouted suddenly and shook his head at Kasey.Tears welled up in Kasey's eyes as she glanced at Elijah and stepped back.Sasha continued to discuss her terms with them. "Before we proceed with the bone marrow typing, transfer 700,000 dollars to my account. I'll provide you with the details later. After a successful typing, I want half of the family's assets.""What did you say?" Elijah grew increasingly suspicious of Sasha."Doesn't that seem fair?" Sasha smirked. "The Chrisses didn't raise me, and the first time we meet, you want my bone marrow. Shouldn't I receive compensation?"Elijah remained silent. He had intended to compensate her even without Sasha mentioning it, but it felt odd when she brought it up.Surprisingly, Kasey nodded in agreement."Are you serious?" Elijah couldn't contain his frustration."Elijah, it's you w

Upon learning of Nala's illness from Alexander, Lena rushed to the hospital in great distress. She repeatedly called Elijah along the way, wanting to ask him why he hadn't informed her about Nala's condition and why he had kept it a secret. Additionally, she wanted to know what illness Nala was suffering from.However, Elijah did not answer her calls, and Lena's attempt to reach Kasey yielded the same result.Just as she was about to dial Elijah's number again, Chris gently took her hand."Don't make any more calls," Chris said softly. "Their daughter is sick, and they must be going through a tough time. Besides, it's not good news to spread around.""But..."Chris hesitated before continuing. "Lena… Actually... you're just an outsider to them. Even though Nala sometimes treats you as her aunt, you're still considered an outsider."Lena's eyes dimmed.Indeed, he was right. What was her place in Elijah's life? At best, she was an employee, a former colleague, and a current partne
