Eudora was wheeled out of the operating room and Clint sent her to the ward to rest.
After a few steps, he saw Gordon standing at the same spot.
He remembered that Amos had once instructed him to take good care of Gordon, even though Clint felt that Amos was asking too much of him.
However, he still had to obey Amosâ instructions.
He then turned back and called Gordon, âMr. George, letâs go to the ward first!â
Gordon shook his head, a little confused. He thought that it should have been Eudora whose life was in danger. Why was it Amos instead?
âWhatâs wrong with Amos?â Gordon asked.
Clintâs heart sank to the bottom.
âPresident Granger donated his kidney to Mrs. Granger. The doctors had already warned him that it was risky, but even so, he still did it!â
Gordon frowned and couldnât help but feel a hint of regret in his heart.
If he had known this, he would have said it out loud!
Why did he hesitate just now?
Clint looked at his expression and asked suspiciously, âMr. George, whatâs wrong?â
Gordon seemed to realize something. âHurry up and send a car to the airport. Someone is coming. He might be able to save President Granger.â
Clint was puzzled, âWho is it?â
âHe should be a suitable donor for Amos!â
Amosâ life was now in danger after donating his kidney to Eudora. However, as long as another person donated their kidney to Amos, everything would be fine, wouldnât it?
Although it was not that simple from the medical perspective, even so, he felt that he had to try as long as there was a string of hope left!
Clint was relieved. âReally?â
They had been looking for a kidney donor for so long, but they still couldnât find one. It was amazing that Gordon had managed to find one now. Clint was very happy.
âIâll pick him up immediately then! Whatâs his name?â
Gordon pressed his lips tightly. âHis name is⦠Tyler Holt!â
Clint stopped and asked, âTyler⦠Holt?â
He immediately recalled the incident in Greene City the last time. They had taken his daughter away and Tyler hated them to death. Would he be willing to save Amos? He doubted that.
âBut heâ¦â
âNo âbutâs. If you bring him here, I will be able to convince him to save Amosâ life!â
Gordon sounded so certain that Clint could only dismiss the doubts in his heart for the time being. He immediately handed Eudora over to Cindy and sped off to the airport.
After Clint left, Gordon found a seat at the edge of the bed and sat down.
âEudora, my daughterâ¦â
Gordon sat there, his mind flooded with memories of Eudora pleading to him with puppy eyes when she was a kid. In fact, they both had a really good relationship in the past.
Although he knew from the start that Eudora was not his daughter.
However, this didnât affect him in the slightest. Eudora was incredibly reliant on him.
She called him father the moment she learned how to speak. Since then, this daughter of his had become his little sweetheart.
Even though the two of them had all sorts of misunderstandings over the past years, Gordon believed that his bond with Eudora was still unbreakable.
But now, it might be the last time for them to meet as father and daughterâ¦
Thinking of this, Gordon suddenly asked Cindy, âDo you have those colored plastic sticks?â
Cindy was stunned. âWhat?â
âThose kinds that we use to make origami stars!â
Cindy finally understood, âUnfortunately, I havenât seen anyone play with those for a long time. They probably stopped making those.â
Gordon seemed a little disappointed. Of course, it had been so long. How could those things in the past still be here?
It must have been gone for a long time.
Just like their father-daughter relationship, it was destined to end here.
Cindy looked at Gordonâs back suspiciously. She couldnât guess what he was thinking about. However, he looked so disappointed! Furthermore, his gray hair made her feel a hint of pity for him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cindy went out and asked the nurse for a straw. The kind that was yellow in color which people used to drink milk tea.
âIs this okay?â
Gordonâs eyes lit up and he quickly reached out to take it. âItâs perfect!â
He lowered his head, then began to bend and twist the straw over and over again. When the straw became soft, he began to fold it.
Cindy looked at him curiously, âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm making a star!â Gordon exclaimed.
It turned out to be a five-pointed star! Cindy grew up with boys since she was little. All she did was train and spar with them. How would she know this?
So, she watched him with curiosity.
Soon, Gordon made the outline of a little star. Cindy sincerely praised, âYouâre so good!â
Gordon was a little bit proud. âThatâs right. I folded my daughter these stars when she told me that she wanted to have the stars in the sky!â
Cindy admired her for that, âMrs. Granger is so blessed!â
Gordon shook his head. âItâs all my fault. I didnât fulfill my duty as a father.â
Otherwise, Kesha would not have done such a horrible thing, and Eudora and Amos would not have become like this.
At this moment, an anxious voice could be heard from outside.
âWhere is Gordon? Take me to him!â
Even though he sounded anxious, the manâs voice carried a dominating aura that would make one shrink back. Gordon knew who it was the moment he heard it!
He looked at Eudora one last time and put the little star he made in her hand before getting up and saying.
âIâm here.â
Soon, Tyler opened the door and came in.
They hadnât seen each other in so many years, but Tyler was still as domineering as he was before. He fit completely with the description of a mature man in his forties, unlike Gordon, who was old.
âMr. Georgeâ¦â Clint was about to speak when Gordon waved his hand to stop him.
âWill you and Cindy mind going out for a while? I have something to say to Mr. Holt.â
After all, Gordon was Eudoraâs father. Clint and Cindy didnât dare to say anything, so they eventually nodded and left.
After they left, Tyler said again, âDidnât you say that there was something important about Emily that you wanted to tell me? What is it?â
Gordon looked at Tylerâs worried face and pursed his lips.
âYou must promise me one thing first.â
Tyler became mad instantly. âAre you trying to negotiate terms with me?â
âYes!â Gordon answered. He had been weak for most of his life, and he was getting old. He didnât want to be so weak anymore.
Tyler frowned, but in the end, he nodded.
âSay it!â
âRescue Amos immediately. Iâll tell you everything as long as you save him!â
âAre you kidding me?â Tyler said coldly.
âItâs up to you! Iâm the only one who knows about Emily. I wonât tell you anything if you refused to do it. Anyway, Iâm old and wonât live much longer anyway. Itâs your choice!â
Tyler frowned, but when he thought that it had something to do with his beloved woman, he finally compromised.
âIt better be something important, else Iâll make you pay!â
