Logan waited for the office door to close before he raised an eyebrow at Sonnet. "You can speak now."Sonnet bit her lip and said, "Mr. Scott, I’m sure you’re aware of my situation, right?"Logan lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled the smoke, and asked casually, "What are you referring to?""Uh, about my two children..."Logan had insinuated to her previously, so he clearly already knew about her background.Presumably, he and the Brooks were somewhat friendly. She would not be surprised even if he had told the Brooks about her.However, it did not seem like it. From that point of view, he still appeared very gentlemanly."What about it?" Logan asked."I'm in a bit of a situation right now, and I’m thinking that you might be able to lend me a hand."Logan smiled and responded, "Don't think too highly of me. Maybe I might not be able to help you. Tell me more.""My son is a chronic leukemia patient. The best option is a bone marrow transplant, but it’s difficult to find a ma
Logan pondered for a moment before he said, "Let’s keep it to ourselves for now. We’re well aware of how men think. It's enough for him to know that there’s a child involved. I'm afraid that he’ll lose his temper if he hears that she’s trying to find the child’s biological father."Fatso nodded and said, "That's right, we’ll keep it a secret, then. I didn’t expect that Miss Turner would be so open that she doesn’t even know who the father of her child is!”As soon as he finished his sentence, he felt a chilly glare on him and could not help but look up at his boss.He saw that his boss had a grim expression.He trembled and suddenly remembered that his boss and his wife had been in a similar situation in the past. He could not help but sigh about overstepping.He patted his mouth and said with an apologetic smile on his face, "Boss, forget that I ever said that. I didn’t say anything!""Get out!" Logan said in a deep voice.Fatso ‘rolled’ out in a hurry. There was a sudden trace
Leonard smiled slyly. He did not believe her one bit.Sonnet bit the bullet and asked him again, "So, where’s Kenji?""I don't know. He seems to have disappeared. There was a big fight that day. Tre and the boss died, I was arrested, and he disappeared."Sonnet's heart sank.She was down for quite some time after she left Harbor City Prison.She went to see Jaybie as soon as she got back to East Villas.Jaybie was sitting quietly in his room reading a book. He held a big and thick book that did not look like it was meant for his tiny body.She walked in gently and sat down next to Jaybie.Only then did Jaybie notice her arrival. He smiled brightly at her and said, "Mom!"Sonnet touched his head and asked, "What are you reading?""It’s a medical book."Sonnet took a glance at what he was reading and noticed some complicated and obscure words. It was a little difficult even for her."Can you understand it?" She could not help but ask.Jaybie smiled and said, "I don't quite u
She snapped out of it and copied down Tre's address.As soon as she got off work, she could not wait to go to the address mentioned.After an hour of being on the bus, she arrived at the older part of Harbor City.It was a somewhat shantytown with a high population density and old houses.The number signs on many houses were mostly blurry. She eventually found the location after she asked several passersby.It was an old and small yard. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.After a while, an old lady opened the door."Excuse me, is this Tre's house?" she asked.The old lady tilted her head and seemed deaf. "Who?""Tre."The old lady looked puzzled. "I don't know him. You’re in the wrong place."Sonnet looked at the address and house number sign again. She was right. She was where she needed to be!"It’s not a mistake, Madam. Tre Lawson!"The old lady waved her hand and said impatiently, "I don't know him. I said I don't know him!"She then slammed the door with
"Uh, please put me down..." Sonnet whispered.Maxwell did not let her go and instead carried her to the sofa. "Mrs. Wilson told me that if a girl gets hurt, the boy should carry her like this!"Sonnet was speechless. ‘Mrs. Wilson’s too thorough. Judging by his proficiency, she might have practiced with him.’Maxwell put Sonnet on the sofa. Sonnet took off her shoe and rolled up her pant leg.Her ankle, which was swollen like a golf ball, appeared in front of their eyes.Sonnet was secretly surprised. Her ankle was much more swollen than before, probably because she had walked for some distance."Ah! A golf ball!" Maxwell exclaimed, then jumped up and went to the study.He came back after a while and carried a medicine box with him. "Maxwell will help Wifey apply the medicine!"Mrs. Wilson walked over and stopped Maxwell. "Young Master, don't apply the medicine just yet. You should put a cold compress first!"She went to the kitchen, brought a big ice pack, and handed it to M
Maxwell’s hand that was teasing the parrot paused promptly, but no one noticed his movement."Oh? What did he say? Did he agree to let you treat him to dinner?" Sonnet asked curiously.Jaybie shook his head and responded, "He said he was busy with work and didn't have time to eat with me. He just told me to contact him by text message.""Oh… I wonder what he works as…" Sonnet said softly.Jaybie tilted his head and thought about it. "He’s amazing at fighting, so he might be a policeman… like an undercover agent. Maybe that’s why he can't answer my calls whenever and doesn't have time to go out for a meal with me."Maxwell’s hand that was feeding the parrot bird food twitched, and the bird's food fell to the ground."Not paying attention! Not paying attention!" the parrot cried.Maxwell raised his hand and slapped the parrot.The parrot flapped its wings and flew to Sonnet for help. "Wifey! Wifey!"Sonnet laughed, stroked the parrot's feathers, and scolded Maxwell, "Are you bul
Sonnet did not want her dad to worry about her foot, so she had not visited for several days. She went as soon as she was able to walk.Unexpectedly, just as she entered the ward, she saw Hayden talking and laughing with Myles.Sonnet was a little surprised, she hurriedly cut some fruit to serve him.As Hayden was saying his goodbyes, he glanced at Sonnet, so she followed him out."I heard your son has leukemia and is waiting for a bone marrow match?" Hayden asked immediately.Sonnet looked at him in surprise.He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I overheard your father when I was chatting with him."Sonnet smiled. "Yes, but there’s no suitable match yet.""Let me help you figure out a way."Sonnet was pleasantly surprised and replied, "Thank you so much!"Hayden smiled. "You don't need to thank me. It's not a problem."Anyway, he was not the one who had to spend money. All he had to do was put in some effort."I have a general understanding of your son's situation. His
As Sonnet brought the peach croissants to the ward, she overheard two nurses talking in the corridor. "Is your blood type AB?""Yes.""In that case, let’s go for the blood test together. I'm also type AB.""I heard that there would be something in it for those who go for the test. I wonder what the reward is?""You’d be comfortable claiming the reward? This was initiated by Mr. Gunn. Everyone wants nothing more than to fawn over him, so they wouldn’t want to claim their reward. I reckon that many people are hoping that they’ll be a successful match so that Mr. Gunn will take a second look at them."Sonnet's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and asked them, "What test are you talking about?""Oh, you can go if you want. The medical staff and family members of patients are welcome to try. Anyone with type AB blood can get a small gift if they go for the blood test.""What… is the blood test for?""Bone marrow matching. It’s to treat a patient’s leukemia," the nurse replie
