Chapter 102

I left the ward and instructed the doctor to arrange for a transfer to another hospital before calling Garyto get me a private plane. Leon, who was following me, stopped me when he saw this. "She's notsuitable to be transferred right now."

As I heard this, I stared at him with reddened eyes and asked, "Did you know she was pregnant?"

He fell silent as soon as he heard my question. Then, I shoved him away and went back into the ward.

Inside the ward, Francesca was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed; thus, I did not dare tobother her. Soon after, Gary came over, and she was transferred to the best hospital in Sundew withthe company of a professional medical team.

I did not follow her to Sundew. Instead, I sat inside the ward as fatigue started to hit. Suddenly, I beganto think about Quinn.

If only she hadn't returned to Bryxton!

That way, none of these would have happened!

But, I knew that she came back because she wanted to live.

As she said, she wouldn't have come here if her kidneys were working.

I felt horrible, as if my heart was going to explode. Leon was left in a trance back inside the ward where

Francesca was. Suddenly, I asked, "Do you know who she is?"

When he heard my voice, he slowly questioned, "What do you mean?"

"Leon, her name is Francesca Gant," I answered hoarsely.

Just then, he recounted, "I know. I met her in Bryxton. I was still trying to settle down in this new place,but I was brought to the police station for getting involved in some trouble. At the same time, she wasalso arrested. When I saw her at the police station, I thought she was a prostitute… After we were bothdischarged, I asked if she wanted to follow me instead. However, I told her I can't provide her withriches, but I could guarantee that she ate and drank."

So, that was the first time they met. Francesca had told me about it in the hospital the other day, andshe remembered thinking it was ridiculous when Leon said that. Why would she need money from him?

At that time, a black Porsche sports car was parked in front of the police station. She mumbled abouthow her car was worth more than he would ever make in his life, but she had already agreed to followhim already then.

Leon's unruly, high-spirited, and ruffian nature made a good girl like Francesca yearn for him. Althoughshe wasn't in love with him then, she was willing to take risks with him.

Later, she allowed nature to take its course and ended up falling for him.

At one point, she was even desperate to leave the Gants, just to follow him and settle in some smalltown for a few years. This was all until Quinn came back, and Leon abandoned her.

She had traded a few years of youth just for this ending.

She was more pitiful than me; she was softer and kinder than me.

As my eyes began to water, I asked, "Then, what happened?"

"Later, she still stayed by my side until we broke up two months ago." Then, after a pause, he addedagain with a saddened face, "I only found out that she was pregnant last night. But, Quinn's life was onthe line. I really had no choice…"

Leon was pushed to a forked road last night, but all this while, I knew that Nicholas and Quinn were asuitable match.

Although I had just discovered Quinn's situation, I still would not let Nicholas donate his kidney even if Iknew beforehand.

Yes, I was that selfish.

I can't donate my kidney, and I didn't want other people to donate theirs either!

But things weren't that simple!

So many things in this world made people feel powerless; my life had been a mess since Quinnshowed up.

I was really conflicted. I wanted her to live, but I did not wish Francesca or Nicholas to donate theirkidney!

For one, I felt terrible for Francesa.

I also did not want to be in debt to Nicholas.

As I wiped the tears from my face, I said, "She is Francesca Grant, the MIT graduate and the CEO ofthe Gant Family's company. She was supposed to be a shining figure. Her life should have beennothing but blissful! However, she was willing to give it all up to stay by your side. She even went as faras to donate a kidney to the woman you love! Tell me, why would someone like her do all this? It is allbecause of her love for you."

As soon as he heard this, he turned around to chase after Francesa. But it was too late, and she hadalready left.

At that point, I was so heartbroken that I remained silent and murmured, "I know the last thing I shoulddo is to blame you for what happened with Quinn… Back then, it was my parents that gave me herkidneys. What could I do? They hid it from me. I had no idea. I had only just discovered that I had akidney transplant and was using her kidney. Thinking about this, I feel so discouraged. I really wishthey didn't try and save me back then…"

If they hadn't saved me back then, none of these would have happened!

Leon, too, was about to collapse as he squatted down and was at a loss. At the time, I left the hospitalin a despairing mood. It was already dark outside.

I found somewhere quiet and cried the whole night. I felt an indescribable pain in my heart because thekidney in my body belonged to Quinn; because Francesca had donated her kidney; because I couldn'tdo anything about all these!

Why were so many things in this world out of my control?

I was obviously someone of power, but why were all the problems unsolvable for me?

"Little girl, why do you keep crying?"

Suddenly, a clear, warm voice rang in my ears. When I looked up, I was surprised to see Christopherstanding in front of me with starry eyes. Then, I stood up timidly and said, "How did you replace me?"

He would always bump into me at the right time.

Despite my refusal, he was not discouraged. Instead, it was like he gained more courage from it. Hehad been standing guard by my neighborhood for the past two weeks. It was something that he hadnever done before.

At this time, he stood under an old locust tree as he asked gently, "What happened?"

I was used to succumbing to the warmth others gave me, especially when he was an obsession I hadnine years ago. Then, I felt so suffocated that it was getting difficult for me to breathe. All I wanted wasto hold onto him tightly.

Christopher was my only lifeline right now. So, I got up and slowly walked towards him before reachingout and carefully hugging his waist, sobbing, "I really want to save Quinn. I'm even willing to give this

kidney back to her! I'd rather give it back to her than have Francesca or Nicholas donate theirs, even ifit meant giving up my life."

I pressed my cheek against his chest as he raised one hand to put his arm around my shoulder whilethe other gently rubbed my head and coaxed, "Little girl, if Nicholas is a match, then I am too. Nicholasand I are twins. We have the same blood and tissue type. So, I am willing to do this for you."

This man was willing to donate his kidney without hesitation. However, I shook my head and said,"Francesca did it already."

"Stop crying. It'll break my heart."

Christopher had always been indifferent; he and Shawn were both ruthless. However, he understoodlust. He just did not act on it. Although he was cold to the rest of the world, he was like a whole otherperson in front of me, as he would always speak sweetly to me.

When I thought of this, I panicked, abruptly let go of his waist, and said, "I'm sorry, I overstepped."

Even so, he rubbed my head and replied, "It's fine. The fact that you're willing to be close to me fills myheart with joy."

When I heard this, I was rendered speechless.

I lifted my hand to wipe my tears; at the same time, Christopher retracted his hand and added sadly, "Isaw what you posted on the Internet… We were supposed to live our own lives happily after partingways. But without you, I could not be happy."

I understood what he meant entirely.

"Christopher, I've already made things very clear—"

"Little girl," he interrupted before gently asking, "Can you give me a chance to get to know you?"
