In the hospital, Scott placed Liliane in a private ward, which eased Leahâs worries. Initially, Leah was worried that Scott would find out that Liliane had a congenital heart condition, as some things but the condition of oneâs health could be concealed, Hiding the condition could lead to Scott making a misdiagnosis and potentially have serious and unpredictable consequences.
Leah had two reasons for transferring Liliane to this hospital. Firstly, Scott, like Wilson, was a cardiac specialist. Secondly, it was a private hospital under the Warner Group, ensuring better confidentiality and minimizing disruptions to Lilianeâs recovery.
âDr. Holden, regarding my daughterâs conditionâ¦â Leah began, her concern evident.
Scott maintained a strict and professional demeanor as he responded, âBased on Ms. Ansteyâs current condition, a heart transplant is the best treatment option.â
Leah was well aware that a heart transplant was the optimal choice for Liliane. However, the challenge lay in finding a legal and suitable donor heart. If it were easy to find a compatible heart, she wouldnât have hinted to Wilson about obtaining Estherâs heart.
It wasnât all in vain. If Estherâs heart proved to be a match for Liliane, she would seize the opportunity.
As a mother, she was willing to do whatever it took for Lilianeâs survival, even if it meant taking a life.
âThank you, Dr. Holden,â Leah expressed her gratitude before asking, âAre there any specific precautions we should take for my daughterâs current condition?â
âYes,â Scott maintained his professional demeanor as a doctor. âMaintaining a positive mood. and minimizing stress and worries is crucial. Heart conditions are highly sensitive to stimulation, and excessive stimulation could endanger her heart.â
âI understand. Thank you, Dr. Holden.â Leah made a gesture as if to offer a bank card to Scott.
Scott shook his head, firmly refusing, âI have a salary, and I can support myself. Please donât insult my integrity by offering something like this.â
Leah watched Scottâs retreating figure, feeling worried. She wanted Scott to keep her daughterâs congenital heart condition a secret from Bradley. If he refused the bank card, her plan would be compromised.
Leah was troubled, hoping that Scott was a dedicated doctor who would not unnecessarily interfere in front of Bradley. Taking a deep breath, she pretended everything was normal and returned to Lilianeâs room.
âLiliane.â
Full of worry, Liliane asked, âMom, how did it go? Did Dr. Holden agree? He wonât tell Bradley about my true condition, right?â
âHe wonât,â Leah reassured Liliane firmly. âDonât worry. Everything will be fine.â Liliane breathed a sigh of relief. She held Leahâs hand and expressed her distress, âIf Dr. Holden reveals my true condition to Bradley, heâll know that itâs impossible for me to have children due to my health. Then heâll definitely question where Felix came from. If he finds out that Felix is Estherâs child, wouldnât itâ¦â
âAll be in vain?â
âIt wonât happen,â Leah said with conviction âLiliane, focus on recovering your health for now. Your well-
being is more important than anything else.â
âMom, itâs all because of Esther. If it werenât for her âLilianeâs voice was filled with anger and resentment, sharp and cutting âMy heart was perfectly fine during the five years Esther was in prison, but as soon as she was released, my condition became so severe.â
