After Tyler left, Gordon went back to the bed and covered Eudora with the quilt.
âIâm sorry, Eudora. I should have said something earlier. At least, you wouldnât have had to suffer so much, but I was too scared. Eudora, I donât want to lose anyone anymore. Iâm sorryâ¦â
Unfortunately, he was only met with silence. Gordon left the room shortly after.
A moment later, Clint came in with joy.
âThe results showed that Mr. Holtâs kidneys are well matched to Mr. Grangerâs!â
âGot it!â Gordon was as calm as ever, as though he already knew that the test would turn out well, âWhere is he?â
âMr. Holt is in the operating room, but he refuses to donate his kidney.â
Gordon did not seem the least surprised, âTake me there!â
Clint was suspicious. âDo you have something to say to him? I could pass the message to him.â
âYou canât persuade him. He only listens to me.â
After that, Gordon turned and looked at Eudora, âGoodbye, my sweetheart.â
Immediately after, he got up and followed Clint out.
â¦
Tyler stood outside the operating theatre with a serious look on his face.
It was not until Gordon approached him that he complained, âGordon, what the hell are you doing. Are you using me as a donor? Do you think that I do charity? Furthermore, that douchebag is inside. He took my daughter away with a group of people the last time, and I havenât even settled my accounts with him yet!â
Tyler was really angry. With his arrogance and the threatening aura he radiated, the nurses around were all scared out of their wits.
Gordon looked at the nurses and said, âExcuse me, why donât you go inside and get ready? Iâll have a few words with Mr. Holt.â
The nurses quickly went their ways right after, as though they had been waiting for permission to leave.
Tyler still feigned impatience on his face. âExplain. Else, my people wonât let you off the hook.â
âDidnât you ask me about Emilyâs child before? I lied to you! That child is still alive.â
Tylerâs whole body shuddered. âWhat did you say? Are you saying that my child is still alive?â
âYes! Itâs my daughter, Eudora.â
Tyler frowned. âEudora?â He knew that name.
When Amos and Christopher kidnapped his daughter the last time, he remembered a girl who cooked very well. She was called Eudora.
So, she was his daughter?
âYouâre lying!â Tyler couldnât believe it. âDidnât you say that Emily hated me so much that she killed my child? Moreover, I went to the hospital to check, Eudora doesnât match with my childâs information at all. Youâre just making up this story to deceive me so that I would save him, arenât you? Do you think that Iâm a three-year-old child?â
âYes! Thatâs what I told you, but that was because I didnât want to lose Emily. Emily hates you, but even so, she still didnât want to give up your child. Iâm jealous of you! I couldnât believe that Emily loved someone like you.â
Gordon said.
He really was jealous. âI had initially thought that it was my luck that Emily liked me. She was so beautiful and brilliant. And at that time, I was just a poor countryside boy. I had nothing, but Emily had everything. I was the happiest person in the world.
But when I proposed to her, she told me that she was pregnant with the child of her beloved man. She said that although she had not heard a word from him, the child was still innocent. She wanted to give birth to the child, but she couldnât bear to bring shame to the George family. So, she could only be with me.
She said that she was going to manipulate me. However, she could not bear it anymore, so she told me everything. She also said that if I regretted it, I could leave immediately. She would not stop me!
However, at that time, I had fallen in love with Emily, so I told her that I could accept it. I loved her, so I decided to love everything about her!â
Tyler shuddered.
It turned out that he had made a mistake. For so many years, he had always hated Emily to the bone. He did not come to see her even when she passed away.
It turned out that he had misunderstood her all along!
âSo it was you!â
âIt was! So what? Are you going to hit me? Itâs a shame that you donât have the right to. You said that you loved Emily. However, where were you when she was criticized because she was pregnant with your child? She went to do check-ups alone because the childâs vitals were unstable. Where were you when she was afraid? Where were you when she was having a hard time giving birth and bleeding to her death? What right do you have to say that you loved her? Do you know that she kept calling your name even before she died?â
Tyler was stunned.
âI did Emily wrong, but what about our child? I want to see my child immediately.â
âEudora doesnât need you now. The patient inside is Eudoraâs husband. If you really love her, you will save Amos.â
Tyler frowned. âWhatâs so good about that brat? My daughter had to save him after I caught him last time. Whatâs the point of saving him? I wonât save him! Heâs better off dead. I will find my daughter the best man in the world!â
Gordon sneered.
âYouâre the only one who thinks that way. Eudora was willing to sacrifice her life for him. If he really died, Eudora would know that you didnât save him. Do you think that she would ever forgive you once she knows about it?â
Tyler didnât respond. In fact, he was a little worried.
Gordon was right. He didnât like Amos, but if Amos were to die, Eudora would never forgive him then.
He and Emily had already misunderstood each other for so many years. Was he going to make Eudora hate him too?
At this moment, a loud cry came from the operating room.
âThis is bad, the patient is in danger. We must perform the operation immediately!â
âF*ck!â Tyler gritted his teeth and said, âItâs just a kidney, right? Iâll do it for my daughterâs sake!â
After that, he walked towards the nurse and said, âLetâs go!â
Clint walked toward Gordon happily after Tyler went in. Although he didnât hear what Gordon had said, he really admired Gordon for being able to convince the very stubborn Tyler.
âThank you, Mr. George.â
âYou donât have to thank me. You should be thanking Eudora!â
Clint didnât understand, but Gordon didnât explain it any further.
âI still have some matters to attend to, so I have to go first. When Eudora wakes up, tell her that I am doing very well on my own. Ask her not to look for me again!â
âWhy?â Clint asked in confusion.
Gordon didnât answer, nor did he look back. He just waved his hands and walked away.
Why? Because Eudora was no longer his daughter!
