Chapter 448 Get Someone to Screen It Twenty minutes later, Axel was admitted to the VIP room.
Evan and Alex walked into the room and heard hurried footsteps approaching from the door. They turned and saw Draco solemnly entering the room, accompanied by a few bodyguards eping Axel lying on the bed, Draco snarled at Evan, âI entrusted the child to you, and youâve raised him like this?â
Evan remained silent as Draco berated him. However, the mention of Axelâs illness caused intense pain in Evanâs chest, making his entire body tense up Unable to bear it any longer, Alex spoke up. âUncle Draco, how can you blame Evan for this? He didnât want this to happen either!â
Draco replied with displeasure, âThis is none of your business! Iâm addressing this defiant child.
How has he raised my grandson?â
Evan controlled his emotions and said coldly. âIf you keep speaking so loudly and disturbing Axelâs rest, Iâll have the bodyguards remove you.â
Draco was furious. Reluctantly, he lowered his voice for Axelâs sake. âYou donât even know your sonâs condition, yet you keep stirring up trouble with Casey all the time!â
âGet out!â Evanâs eyes met Dracoâs eyes dominantly.
Draco couldnât tolerate being expelled by his son repeatedly in front of others. He grunted and warned, âStop bothering Casey when Axel is so sick, or I wonât spare you!â
Afterward, Draco left with his bodyguards.
Alex wondered whether Draco had come to visit his grandson or to warn Evan not to use his grandsonâs illness as an excuse to bother Casey.
While Alex was still pondering this, he heard Evan say, âDonât tell anyone about Axelâs illness.â
Astonished, Alex asked, âArenât you planning to tell Caroline? Axel is her son, too.â
Evan asked, âWould it be helpful to tell her? So she can be worried and helpless?â
âYou canât hide it forever, you know! Plus, Caroline will certainly be upset with you if she finds out âLeukemia?â Alex exclaimed Evanâs world seemed to spin as he processed the devastating diagnosis. âAcute leukemia?â
Richie sighed, recognizing the distress in Evanâs expression. âIt appears Mr. Jordan Jr. has been experiencing symptoms for some time. Have you noticed his nosebleeds, body aches, low spirits, and reduced appetite?â
Evan was stunned â1⦠I think so. I did notice he was moving slowly.â
Richie spoke in a blaming tone. âHe canât walk fast when his body aches.â
Evan felt a crushing weight on his chest. He had never witnessed Axelâs nosebleeds or realized how long his son had suffered. He had assumed Axelâs symptoms were due to his longing to see Caroline.
Evanâs eyes reddened. âHow could I have been so blind to my own sonâs pain?â
Alex could see the answer written on Evanâs face. He turned to Richie and urged, âPlease conduct the necessary tests promptly and initiate treatment.â
Richie explained, âThereâs a 60% chance that a bone marrow transplant for stem cell production:
will be required.â
âFind a donor then! Locate a suitable one as quickly as possible, regardless of the cost!â Evan.
demanded, his anger boiling over.
Richie began. âMr. Jordan, the suitable donor-â
âEnough with excuses! Just do your best to find one!â Alex interrupted firmly.
Daniella was hidden in the corner of the emergency room and had overheard their conversation.
She had already dispatched Hector, or rather Casey, to search for a donor. Now, she saw an opportunity to get closer to Evan under the pretext of the bone marrow donation.
She tucked her hair behind her ear with a smug smile, wondering if Evan had noticed her earlier performance.
