Chapter 1045
The Love that Never Really Dies
The doctor shook his head at the agitated Sasha. âThere's simply no antidote for this poison. It has
been like this for many years now. According to the report you sent me, the bone marrow is not
entirely necrotic.â
âSo what does that mean?â
âIt means we have to find a way to revive it.â The doctor gave a simple answer and made it sound
easy, but that could not be further from the truth.
Sasha knew it would not be easy to achieve such a feat. Does that mean we'll need another person's
bone marrow?
As a doctor herself, Sasha did not take long to see where the doctor was going with the
conversation.
"We'll need a matching bone marrow then, won't we?â
"Yes, but not just anybody's. Because of the unique condition and the low success rate, it's best that
we do the transplant from an immediate family member. Otherwise, the procedure may fail and
shorten what little time the patient has instead,â explained the doctor extensively and professionally
after going through the report.
At that point, the room got so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, for everyone knew that the
patient basically had no immediate relatives left.
Knowing that both Yancy and Frederick had passed away, Sasha could not think of anyone else who
would fit the bill. Sasha dared not to look at the person next to her, fearing that she would be
misunderstood if she were to do so.
What right do I have to ask her to save Solomon? The things he and his mother did to her were
unforgivable. Besides, sheâs an expectant mother now.
âDoctor, what if we..."
âI'm his sister. When can we proceed with the operation?â interrupted Sabrina just when Sasha
wanted to ask the doctor to search for a suitable donor.
To everyone's surprise, Sabrina offered to donate her bone marrow, causing both Sasha and
Sebastian to turn and raise their brows curiously at her.
As quick as the two were, Devin still beat them to it as he instantly stepped up to shoot down the
idea.
âYou can't do that! You're pregnant now, remember? How can you donate your bone marrow?â
Devin could no longer keep his silence.
"And why not? I never said anything about delivering the baby,â scoffed the woman in response.
âBut...â
âSo when will it be, doctor? If it's today, I'll go take my pills now, and we can proceed in the
afternoon.â
Devin, drained of colors, was not the only one having trouble understanding Sabrinaâs decision as
Sasha, too, could not figure out what Sabrina was thinking at the moment.
"Sab, what are you doing? Do you have any idea what this will do to your body? This... This
procedure is no joke. We're talking about extracting your bone marrow and aborting a baby. Heck,
if things were to go wrong, your life could be in danger!â exclaimed Sasha in all seriousness.
After glancing at Sasha, Sabrina stayed silent for a while but remained adamant about her decision.
Devin's face fell as he could tell from the look in her eyes that she meant every word she said in that
room.
A few minutes after everyone left the office, Devin decided to grab Sabrina by the arm and pull her
elsewhere.
âWhat are you doing? Let me go! Let go!â shouted Sabrina.
âYou and I are going to have a little talk.â
âWhat's there to talk about? Like I told you, we're through! Didn't you hear me? Let me go! Let me
go now!â
Even from a distance away, Sasha could hear the woman's shouting.
âDo you think they're going to be fine? Shouldn't we go take a look?â Sasha asked Sebastian
worriedly as she peeked at the two from the hallway.
"Why should we? I'm sure they can work things out on their own. What we should focus on right
now is figuring out this bone marrow issue.â Sebastian, who knew that there was nothing they could
do to help, pulled Sasha away from the arguing couple.
Devin only loosened his grip on Sabrina when they reached a less crowded spot.
Upset with what Devin just did, Sabrina gave the man a hard kick to the shin.
âThat's for being a jerk, Devin! Remember how you used to act all high and mighty when I wanted
nothing more than to be with you? Now that I've finally come to my senses, you cant seem to leave
me alone. Are all men like this, or is it just you?â
The man in pain took a few seconds to rub his shin and swallow his anger before looking up at
Sabrina again.
âWhat do I have to do to redeem myself? I know what I did in the past was wrong. I should've taken
up my responsibility as a man back then, but instead, I tried to run away from it. That was on me.â
