From the stairs came the faint sounds of Larry's footsteps.
Charlie guessed that his son was calling them to dinner, so he closed the laptop again and put it aside. He pulled her up from the couch and tucked the hair in her ear. "It seems that the meal is ready. Don't worry too much. Come down with me for dinner first!"
Wendy answered softly and walked out of the bedroom with him.
The only thing in the corridor was the faint glow of the setting sun. Her face and neck were stained by the rose-colored light.
But her two hands that were hanging on both sides were curling up tightly. Countless doubts were hidden in her brows and the corners of her eyes. The corners of her mouth were gradually curled into a straight line, as if she was doing some struggle.
Finally, she seemed to have made a decision.
Wendy stopped and looked up at Charlie's broad shoulders. "Charlie, I have something to tell you!"
"What is it?" Charlie looked back in confusion.
Wendy loosened her clenched fists and told Charlie slowly, "I decided ... to offer him a liver!"
The two of them were not only lovers but also a couple who wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Hence, she had to let him know what decision she had to make.
The next day, the white Land Rover stopped in front of the hospital building.
Wendy unbuckled her seatbelt and turned her head to look at Charlie, who was doing the same.
After she made the decision last night, he didn't say anything but said before going to bed that he would accompany her to the hospital tomorrow.
Wendy bit her lip and asked with hesitation, "Charlie, will you stop me?"
Charlie laughed and put his hand on the back of her head. He kissed her forehead and said, "I'll support you no matter what decision you make!"
Wendy was deeply moved.
Although Kim did not know about her existence, after learning the results of the paternity test, she did not think that she had to tell Kim or anything. She even thought that it was okay if Kim did not know for the rest of his life.
In the past, she didn't know that her biological father was someone else. They hadn't had a father.daughter relationship. She could have let go of it. But when she saw Kim lying weakly on the hospital bed, she had to admit that she just couldn't leave him alone.
What's more, her biological father had always been so gentle that she was willing to get close to him. If she didn't do this, she was even more afraid that she would regret it for the rest of her life. Obviously, Charlie had the same thought.
But liver transplantation was not a small operation. It is very dangerous to remove a certain liver from the body. Maybe that's a little alarmist. Doing so may threaten her health, and it's normal for Charlie, who was the one she would walk hand in hand with in this life, to oppose her to do so.
At this time, the corridor of the hospital was covered with a layer of sadness.
Linda and Madge stood side by side, with the attending doctor next to them wearing a serious expression.
After Kim's accident, Madge had been running around in the hospital for the past two days, and had pined away a lot. She asked worriedly, "Doctor, my father woke up yesterday for a short while, and then did not wake up again, until now is still in a coma. Will it be dangerous if it goes on like this?"
"Yes, doctor, when will my husband wake up?" Linda had also pined away a lot.
The attending doctor sighed and said with a frown, "Mrs. Lu, Miss Gray, I have to remind you that the current situation is not very optimistic. Although he is now in the ICU and on medication, his physical condition is showing signs of worsening instead of improving!"
"This kind of surgery is very popular now, but the key problem is that there is no suitable liver source.
have been contacting the major hospitals all the time, but there is no good news! If we can't find it in the next three days, then he will be very dangerous! You should be prepared for the worse in advance. Once there is a problem before the surgery, the consequences ... " The attending doctor didn't say the following words, but the meaning was obvious.
Linda's body almost went limp. She could only hold on tightly to her daughter's hand. Both mother and daughter looked at each other with a look of panic in their eyes.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little tense, and the attending doctor couldn't help but come out to mediate the dispute. "Miss, I admire your kindness, but it's not that easy to donate liver! In addition to matching blood types, transplant recipients must also match other indicators!" Wendy straightened her back. Without looking at the mother and daughter of the Gray family, she just turned to the attending doctor in front of her. There was a trace of trance in her voice, but she looked very determined and said slowly, "I am the daughter of the patient who is eligible for a living-related liver transplantation!"
Linda and Madge froze.
The mother and daughter looked at each other again, but they both saw from each other's eyes that they were shocked.
"LRLT?" The attending doctor was surprised to hear that.
At first, he put his greatest hope on Madge. After all, she was his patient's biological daughter. But he didn't expect that she didn't match for the most basic blood type, which made him very disappointed. He even thought that if she wasn't his patient's only daughter, then there would be more hope. But it was just a thought, and he never thought that a miracle would happen!
The solemn look on the attending doctor's face was completely replaced with excitement. "That's great! This will greatly increase the matching rate!"
Wendy looked at the doctor and hurriedly said, "Doctor, please help me with the examination immediately. If all the examinations conform to the procedure, please arrange ... surgery for my father as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay. Come with me. I'll arrange it right now!" The attending doctor was a little excited and a little flustered. A minute ago, he was still deeply troubled by this operation, but now there was a chance to break through it.
Wendy glanced at Charlie, and then the two of them followed the doctor at the same time.
However, before she could walk further, she was caught by someone else.
Because Charlie was on her left, and Linda was on her right. When Wendy passed by, Linda suddenly reached out a hand to stop her from moving forward.
Charlie suddenly frowned. His facial expression showed that he was unhappy. He was about to say something with a cold face, but she had already spoken first.
"Mrs. Gray, don't you want to save your husband?"
Wendy and Linda met each other's eyes without dodging. Wendy's eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and her voice was soft but cold, even a little bit fierce, "If you do, let go of me!"
