“I know that the donor and you all are friends, but Ms. Bethan, it’s the truth, You have to face it. The fact is we have already signed an agreement with the donor twice. We even took video footage of how the donor is willing to donate the bone marrow.
“However, when our staff went to pick the donor up, the donor refused to cooperate. We have no choice either…”
Bethan bit her lips.
“There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.”
Perhaps the attitude of the hospital staff upset Christian, so he was not willing to donate his bone marrow?
At that thought, Bethan took a deep breath. “I’ll try to talk to the donor.”
Rowena was silent for a while. She could only nod.
“Thank you for doing so. The donor needs to do a series of preparations before the surgery. If the donor can’t be in the hospital by nine tonight, we might have to reschedule tomorrow’s surgery.”
Then, Rowena turned and left.
Seeing Rowena leaving, Bethan sighed. She immediately picked her phone up and dialed Christian.
The call was soon picked up. Christian seemed to be in a bar. It was a noisy environment.
Christian asked in a pleasant tone, “Why are you calling me at this hour?”
Bethan furrowed her brows. Hearing the noise on the other end of the call, her expressions darkened.
“Where are you?”
“I’m…”
Before Christian could finish his sentence, his phone was snatched away by a woman next to him.
She took the phone and arrogantly said to Bethan, “
Who the hell are you? Why are you calling Mr. Christian? Let me tell you, he is mine tonight! Don’t try to fight me for him! “
The woman wanted to say something else, but Christian had already furrowed his brows and immediately pushed her to the side. He snatched the phone over.
“This is my friend! Stop fooling around! “
Then, he turned and headed out of the bar. He took a deep breath and continued his call with Bethan.
“What’s up?”
Bethan remained in the same spot, gripping the phone tightly.
She never would have thought that Christian would be drinking at the bar at that hour and even planned to have s*x with another woman that night when the bone marrow surgery was the next day!
“Christian.”
Bethan suppressed the rage in her heart. “Do you know what day it is tomorrow?”
Christian furrowed his brows.
“What day is it? It’s…”
He thought for a while before saying, “Oh, yes, it’s Nigel’s surgery tomorrow. You Before he could finish his sentence, Christian suddenly remembered.
He has never told Bethan his true identity. Bethan had always thought that he was the donor donating his bone marrow to Nigel.
That was why she called at that moment.
“Christian,”
Bethan bit her lips and said, “Nigel’s doctor came to look for me just now. She told me that the donor who agreed to donate the bone marrow to Nigel refused to be admitted into the hospital and refused to undergo surgery. I want to ask you why.”
Bethan took a deep breath.
“I know that donating the bone marrow to Nigel is for free. You won’t get any benefits out of it. If you were to disagree from the start, I have nothing to say, but right now…”
“My child and I have prepared everything. I have even managed to borrow a lump sum from my friend to pay your medical bills. Now that you’re regretting it, what should we do?”
Previously, Bethan did not expose the fact that Christian was the donor because she respected the fact that the donor was not willing to reveal their identity.
However, it was already a desperate situation at that moment! Bethan could no longer care that much!
Christian, on the other end of the line, was silent upon Bethan’s words.
He pursed his lips. He suddenly did not know how to explain it to Bethan. He did not know how to say that the donor was Fiona.
Previously, the deal Fiona made with Brettley was that if Brettley were to be together with her, she would donate her bone marrow to Nigel.
At that moment, it was almost surgery day, yet Brettley was still unconscious, unsure if he was dead or alive.
No one could do anything about Fiona running away. Unless Brettley were to wake up at that moment.
Christian closed his eyes and sighed.
It was at that stage already. He could no longer continue lying to Bethan.
Christian said with a hoarse voice, “Bethan, I’m going to tell you something, but please don’t get too worked up over it.”
Bethan furrowed her brows and sneered.
“You not agreeing to the surgery is enough to get me worked up already. Is there anything else that would be worse than that?”
“Yes,”
Christian sighed and said, “actually…”
His bright voice turned depressing. “Actually, I’m not Nigel’s donor.”
“What?”
Bethan was instantly stunned at Christian’s words.
“If it’s not you, then who is it?”
She clearly saw Christian coming out from the place where they signed the agreement with the doctors. He also said all those things to the doctors…
“That day, when you went there, the real donor had already left. I was like you, I went there to find out who Nigel’s donor was. It was just by accident that you arrived too late, then you treated me as the donor.”
Christian’s voice was getting softer and lower.
“Actually, I always knew you mistook me for the donor, but I had my intentions. I wanted to get closer to Brettley through you, to get him to invest in my company. That’s why I never explained it to you. I actually…have been lying to you.”
Every word Christian said was like a heavy hammer, brutally smashing Bethan’s heart. She was hurt yet shocked. Her legs turned to jelly.
If Christian was not the donor, then who was the real donor?
Bethan bit her lips. She was trembling furiously.
“If I went there too late and missed the donor, you must have surely seen who the donor was, right?”
Bethan recalled what Christian said to the doctor. The doctor even said that they would contact Christian if there was anything.
That proved that…
Christian knew who the donor was. He was also quite close to the donor!
At that thought, it was as if Bethan was at her wit’s end. She held the phone tightly, her voice was trembling and croaky.
“Christian, tell me, who the donor is? I could go look for them! “
Things were already at that stage, she could not let Nigel down!
Even if she had to give up everything, she still had to find the donor and persuade the donor to help Nigel!
Christian was silent.
He knew that the truth would come out sooner or later.
After a while, Christian chuckled bitterly. “Actually, the person is…”
