Chapter 1446 The Mysterious Heart Transplant
âDoctor, howâs his condition?â
âHe just had surgery and shouldnât be drinking. Why did he drink so much still?â
âDoctor, please! I beg you! You must save him!â
âLuckily, he was sent to the hospital in time. His life is not at stake now. After heâs done with the IV drip, stay back for a while for observation. He can be discharged as soon as he feels fine. Please donât take alcohol again next time!â
After the doctor left, Melanie stared at the sleeping Stephen, and her heart ached.
Melanie recalled that when she celebrated her birthday a few days ago, Stephen only had juice as he remembered he shouldnât be ingesting any alcohol. However, he drank so much alcohol when he was with Nina today.
Stephen, is Nina more important than your own life? You must really care about her from the bottom of your heart. Heart⦠Your heart⦠Is it because of that heart? No matter how much the owner of this heart loved her, it should have ended when his life ended! The heart shouldnât make you so obsessed with her. No, I canât let this continue. I canât let you become Chrisâ replacement!
At the thought of that, a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes, and she immediately made a call.
The next day, Stephen asked for a day off. Nina felt sorry after knowing that Stephen was hospitalized due to the alcohol last night.
After work, she bought a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers to visit Stephen in the hospital.
However, she was stopped by Melanie outside the ward.
âStephen needs to rest. Itâs not convenient for him to meet anyone now. Ms. Nina, please leave.â
âIâm so sorry about last night. I didnât know that he canât drink.â
Melanie scrutinized Nina carefully as she had not had the chance to look at her closely last night. Sheâs changed so much. Sheâs no longer the fat girl that I mocked at the mall last time. Sheâs completely different now!
She was amazed that Nina was able to lose weight in such a short period of time, which showed the extent of the latterâs perseverance.
As compared to her, Nina had better looks, a better figure, a better family background, and a better social status. She could not deny that Nina was absolutely a threat to her!
Previously, she had tried to ask Stephen to resign so that he would never see Nina again. However, Stephen refused. He wanted to work for Nina for at least three years as that was his promise to Chris.
Therefore, the only option she had left was to make Nina leave him instead.
At the thought of that, she quickly drew up a plan in her mind. She put on a sad face and looked at Nina. âStephen canât drink because he had a heart transplant previously. His body has been very weak since then.â
âHeart transplant?â Nina was stunned.
âYes. You donât need to be shocked. A heart transplant is actually very normal nowadays. The man who donated his heart to Stephen was about the same age as Stephen. I heard that his family is very rich and owns a big corporation. What a pity that he died at such a young age!â
Nina fell silent for a moment. âYes, thatâs why we should all cherish life while we can. Donât worry; I wonât let Stephen join any drinking occasions again in the future.â
Thatâs not what I actually meant! Did I not make it clear enough?
Melanie coughed. âYouâre right. We should all cherish life. By the way, please donât mention the heart transplant to Stephen. He doesnât want to let anyone know about it, especially⦠you.â
âMe? Why?â
âBecause⦠Because⦠He said the man who gave him the heart was someone very special. He wants to keep it a secret from you.â
âKeep it a secret from me?â Nina was left utterly clueless.
Yes! To keep it a secret from you! Hurry up and go find out the truth so that youâll know what happened to Chris! Please go accompany him in heaven and stay far, far away from Stephen!
âMs. Nina, I have to take care of Stephen now. I think you should go back first. Heâll go back to work as soon as heâs recovered.â Then, she turned around, walked into the ward, and shut the door.
