Renee stood there, staring blankly at the two people who appeared before her as if they were heavenly beings. A
mix of emotions overwhelmed her, and tears streamed down her face once again.
Renee tried to speak. “Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, I actually—”
“Don’t say anything now. It’s more urgent to save her,” Cordelia interrupted, stepping forward and taking Renee’s
hand.
Renee’s small hand felt cold, and she couldn’t help but tremble as she suddenly felt a comforting warmth.
After all the necessary arrangements were made, Toph stood by Renee’s side outside the operating room, silently
waiting.
Zephyr had already sent the best experts, and Renee’s mother would soon be out of danger.
Then, Cordelia coughed heavily and shot Toph a meaningful look while Zephyr approached.
“Toph, call your brother and tell him to come to the hospital immediately!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uh, well…”
“Listen carefully. It’s your brother!” Cordelia emphasized. “Tell him to come alone!”
Toph looked at his parents’ troubled faces and knew that a storm was inevitable. He obediently made the call.
“Hey, Zuko.” Toph retreated to a corner against the wall. “You… You’re not busy at the moment, right?”
Zuko’s voice came through with a roar. “Just say what you want!”
Toph quickly straightened up and spoke rapidly. “Conveying our mother’s orders… Hurry to the hospital, alone!”
…
While waiting for Zuko, the emergency surgery had been successfully completed, and the doctors emerged from
the operating room with relieved smiles.
Renee rushed over, but her emotions overwhelmed her, leaving her unable to utter a word.
Finally, Cordelia spoke up. “Is everything okay?”
“Don’t worry, Madam.” The doctor smiled. “The patient is out of danger. After the observation period, she can be
transferred back to the ward. Professor Hamerton and Professor Stafford are currently inside discussing the next
course of treatment.”
Cordelia nodded and smiled gently at Renee.
A heavy burden was lifted from Renee’s heart, but her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
“Cordelia!” Zennie’s voice rang out.
Wearing a white coat, she emerged from the operating room. Time had given her a mature temperament, but it
couldn’t change her sweet way of addressing Cordelia.
No matter when, Cordelia felt more like a sister to her, while her own brother instantly became her brother-in-law.
“Zennie!” Cordelia joyfully held her hand. “Where’s Seth?”
“This surgery was quite routine, and Seth didn’t want to miss this opportunity. He called a few of his best students to
observe it. Now that we’ve finished discussing the treatment plan, he wants to go over some key points with them.”
“Well… how’s the patient’s condition?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“There are symptoms of renal failure,” Zennie confidently answered. “But it hasn’t reached the point where a
kidney transplant is necessary.”
“What!?” Renee was shocked, her eyes widening, and she was speechless for a while.
A kidney transplant wasn’t necessary?
Melvin had constantly used the possibility of kidney donation as leverage against her!
Zennie browsed through the hospital records, her brows furrowing slightly.
According to the records, several patients in the department were waiting for kidney transplants, but Renee’s
mother wasn’t one of them.
Renee’s heart tightened…
In other words, Melvin had been lying to her.
There was no need for a kidney transplant. Her mother’s condition wasn’t as severe as they had been led to
believe.
Melvin had been deceiving them all this time simply because neither she nor her mother understood medicine.
Renee clenched her fists tightly, her lips almost bleeding from biting them.
