Dexter thought about it for a moment. He was open to the idea now that he knew it would not kill him. However, he still had some reservations."Why don't you and your wife give your liver to her? Didn't you say that you love her?" he asked."Neither of us is a match. An immediate family member has the highest pairing success rate, so we came to talk to you," Jack said."I'll think about it." Dexter was still a little scared. He was worried that they were lying to him.If he gave Leia his liver and died from it, it would not matter how much money he had.Luke noticed his hesitation and said coldly, "Leia is not doing well. If you need more time to think about it, we might not need you later."Dexter was shocked. Leia's life or death had nothing to do with him.However, if he hesitated and Leia died, he would not get any money.Dexter gritted his teeth, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay. However, I want to sign an agreement with you. If the transplant fails, you’ll still pay me.
Jack agreed.No matter how long this adopted daughter had stayed by their side, she would never be a good daughter. As such, he had no problem with Luke wanting to teach Leia a lesson on behalf of Luca.Nevertheless, Queenie was soft-hearted, so he kept this part from her."I trust Luke, but you have to tell him not to be too rough with her. Leia is a girl, after all," Queenie frowned from worry that Luke would be too harsh on Leia."He knows what he’s doing. You don't need to worry. Promise me you’ll stay home tomorrow and not go to the hospital," Jack said. He did not want Queenie to be in contact and suffer with hooligans like Dexter."Mm." Queenie nodded, but she was still a little worried."Luke did so much for Bea's sake. He doesn't want to see Bea worry about us, so he’ll be mindful," Jack added.Leia would get to stay alive. As long as that was the case, he did not care about the means used to get there.They had done everything for Leia after they adopted her from the
The nerves in Luca’s head tightened, and her breathing became heavy. Luke moved his hand and placed it on his favorite spot. As he listened to her rapid breathing, he could not help but smile and say, "Time to sleep. I'll stop moving."Luca opened her eyes. The more one could not see anything in the darkness, the more sensitive one’s sense of touch would be. She could feel the warmth of his palm coming through the fabric. The frenetic cells in her body were trembling uncontrollably.Luke said he would not move his hands anymore, and he really did not move them. Luca felt uneasy because of his gesture. It took her more than ten minutes to calm herself down and close her eyes. Luke’s hand never moved again. If Luca turned around now, she would be able to see the smile that was overflowing with happiness on his face. The next day.Jason drove to Blue Skies Shelter and picked Dexter up, just like what Luke had instructed him to do.Dexter was stunned when he looked at the lux
“No, he didn’t. It’s him. He’s the one who revealed Leia’s secrets to the press and ruined her life back then,” Jason assured him. After all, he was in the know of this matter.Johann shook his head and said, “They say even tigers would look after their cubs. Leia’s father is more vicious than a tiger. What a misfortune to have such a father.” “Dr. Park, what’s wrong with you? Are you starting to feel sorry for Leia?” Jason asked teasingly. “She doesn’t deserve my sympathy after everything she has done in the past. But having a father like him…” Johann heaved a sigh. Someone worth one’s sympathy was also worth one’s detest. It was probably what it meant.It was a misfortune for Leia to have such a father. However, everything she did and all the pain others had suffered because of her was detestable too.“But she has a pair of foster parents who were kind to her. To be fair, she’s much happier than the others,” said Jason. However, Leia did not know how to appreciate and protect
Johann was able to know people from all walks of life as he was working in the hospital.Many of his patients who had recovered would send their greetings to him every festive season. Some of them would become his friends, and they would hang out and have dinner together. He got to know them through work.However, his encounter with Luke Crawford was slightly different. It all started 11 years ago.Johann was not a doctor yet but a student who was awarded a medical school scholarship. He was the most talented and outstanding medical student acknowledged by every professor. It was nothing at first, but he stole another top student’s thunder because of his Western facial features when he just entered the school. Hence, the other students had been holding a grudge against him. He was obsessed with learning medical knowledge. He could not be bothered to waste his time dealing with others. All he had in his mind was to finish his studies and learn more medical knowledge.That wa
Although Leia was famous for being a difficult patient in their department, the head nurse felt happy for her to be able to get a liver transplant. "The injections are for your late recovery, and you'll have to get the injections for three days consecutively," the head nurse explained to her as she placed the infusion bottles in front of Leia. Following the code of practice, she needed to ask, "What's your name?"“Leia Norman,” answered Leia. She looked at Johann warily, who was standing behind faking a smile. She had this feeling that Johann was up to something. The nurse checked Leia’s patient wristband. The name was correct, so she hung the solution bottle on the IV stand.The bottle was not that huge. The nurse removed the solution bottle there and attached the new infusion bottle. Johann instructed her when he saw that the drip rate was a little slow, “Speed it up.”“Make it even faster?” The head nurse turned around and glanced at Johann with a surprised look on her fac
Johann was fooling Leia just now. The injection was given to her to prepare for the surgery.However, it was not like what he had told her. Johann knew Leia refused to take Dexter’s liver. That was why he used such a way to bluff her. After all, for her, staying alive was much more important than being stubborn.Still, Johann was not afraid that Leia would look into this. His tutor who was in New York told him that they were currently studying similar drugs to activate the cell activities in the human body, but there were also some similar side effects.They were doing the research to see if they could remove the side effects so that the patient would have more choices. Johann came to the nurses’ station and reminded the head nurse, “Leia’s reluctant to undergo the surgery. Please keep an eye on the solution bottles that she’ll be taking these three days. It’ll be best if you can handle it yourself. Don’t answer her no matter what she asks.” “No problem. But why is she rejecti
“Sure.” Leia and Mandy finally reached an agreement. “Then I’m going back now. Wait for my good news. As your friend, I’ll help you to get the highest price. After all, life has been hard for you too.” Mandy pretended to have sympathy for Leia, but honestly, did she have anything to do with Leia’s life or death?If it were not for the money, Mandy would not have come here again and again.After Mandy left, Leia shot a glance at the drip solution. It was almost done. Then, she pressed the patient call bell.The head nurse pushed the door open, came in, and asked, “What’s the matter?”“The solution has finished.” Leia had already calmed herself down.“Okay. Wait a minute.” The head nurse turned around and left. After a while, she came back and removed the needle from Leia’s arm. Then, she injected some saline solution into the vein catheter and sealed it. “Everything that Johann told me… Is it true?” Leia looked at the head nurse and asked.After the nurse disinfected the vei
