Chapter 977

It was already night-time when we reached the hospital. Fortunately, we made a call beforehand and

asked Cameron to get Mrs. Dune to prepare some food and send it to the hospital so that we could

have a simple dinner.

My father pushed Summer over for a checkup. Cameron looked at me and said, “Your dad said that

you might be able to find bone marrow that matches Summer. Is that true? Don’t do silly things, my

dear. You’re pregnant now, and you need to make yourself a priority.”

Judging by how worried she was, I knew she was thinking that I was going to do a bone marrow match

myself to see if my bone marrow would fit Summer. “Mom, you’re overthinking this. Ashton and my

blood types don’t even match Summer’s. We wouldn’t have to be so worried if my bone marrow could

match hers.”

Stumped, she paused for a moment before she replied, “Yeah, you’re right. What do you plan to do

then?”

Armond gave me the card, but I did not have complete faith in that man. The only way I could find out if

this was legit was if I made a trip to A City. If this indeed produced a viable lead, my plan was to make

Ashton fetch Summer over there.

“Don’t worry about it. Summer is going to undergo chemotherapy soon. You need to take good care of

her. Ashton and I are really busy, and we really need your help in this matter.”

Cameron sighed. “Don’t worry about that. I know that you guys are busy. I’ve handed over all the

projects under Anderson Corporation to Nick. I’m going to take care of Summer full-time now. And you,

you need to take good care of yourself now that you’re pregnant. Don’t tire yourself out.”

I was planning to ask more about Nick but decided against it. I’d better deal with things on my plate first

before thinking about poking my nose in other matters.

After half an hour, Zachary pushed Summer back into the ward. The girl had fallen asleep, and he

looked tired. He leaned back against the chair in a daze while Cameron asked the nurse on the things

that she should look out for these few days.

I took the time to chat Zachary up and handed him a glass of warm water. “Dad, how did you know

about the organ trade thing?”

Ashton was not in the ward, and as a matter of fact, we were alone. Hence, I could be as outright as I

wanted. Zachary was almost dozing off but set his back straight at my question. “Your mom told you

that?”

I nodded. “I got the gist of it. Dad, could you tell me more about it? Summer is my daughter, and as

long as they’re legally sourced, it doesn’t matter how much it’s going to cost. But I’m not going to risk

breaking the law.”

He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and sighed. “I heard this from someone too, and I’m still asking

for more information on it. Previously when I contacted them, they had mentioned that with the right

price, the organs would be donated by children who died of unnatural causes. Your mother is really

worried about me after knowing this. But don’t worry, I know what to do.”

After contemplating for a moment, I said, “Dad, I think it’s better that you stay out of this. I will find out

more when I go to A City. It’s not appropriate for you to get involved with this. The Moore family is going

to be in so much trouble if you’ve been exposed. I’ll take this over from here.”

He went silent. After some time, he said, “Hmm, it will be better if you’re the one to deal with this. I’ll

ask Boris to come back from Moranta and accompany you to A City. I’ll be more at ease if he’s with

you.”

I got curious at the mention of Boris. “Dad, how are you related to him? Judging by his status at

Moranta, I don’t think he’s just a normal bodyguard.”

Zachary smiled and said, “He’s not a bodyguard, my dear. You have enough bodyguards following you

around. Boris is not my subordinate, nor I his. He doesn’t have a family, and he just decided to settle

down in Moranta.”

I was actually surprised. Given Boris’ age, I thought the man would have had a family already but the

man was not even married yet.

Cameron came back after consulting the nurse. She had been so busy these days her face looked so

pale. I felt a lump in my throat and led her to a seat. After debating with myself, I looked at her and my

father. “Mom, Dad, I need you guys to help take care of Summer these few days. I need to head to A

City to deal with something.

Zachary was slightly stumped before he asked, “Have you decided to head there?”

I nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes, I’m hoping to get back as soon as possible.”

Cameron looked at me, then turned to Zachary. Shrewd as she was, my mother quickly caught up to

us. She frowned and asked, “Are you going to A City because of Summer?” She had always been

against us doing anything that might have harmed our future even it was for Summer. As expected, she

spoke up to oppose our ideas. “I don’t agree with this, Scarlett. I understand how exasperated you feel

about saving your child, but you need to stay clear-headed and think straight. Think about your family,

think about your father and me. Please don’t act rashly. What should I do if anything should happen to

you both?”
