Eudora was already waiting in the operating theatre. There wasn't any more time left to waste. Amos had to do it.

Gordon caught up to Amos hurriedly.

'Amos, I..."

"It's alright!" Amos shook his head, "It's not your fault."

No one would expect this kind of thing to happen!

"No, it's..." Gordon's words were about to come out of his mouth, but he didn't say them in the end.

He didn't know how to tell him.

However, Amos was not in the mood to wait for him to speak. He just smiled and followed the doctor into the ward.

They had already run the compatibility test a few days ago, so he could enter the operating room immediately.

First, they had to anesthetize him. Amos glanced at Eudora, who was still in a coma next to him. Her eyes were closed and she did not make a single sound.

He reached out to hold her fingers and said silently in his heart,

"Eudora, don't be afraid!"

The anesthesia gradually worked its way into Amos' system, and his vision became blurred as he looked at Eudora. Before falling unconscious, he only remembered that he seemed to have said something to the doctor.

"If I'm gone, tell her to go on and live her life happily."

Doctor Leon was focusing on Amos in the operating theatre, beside him was Helen, who would be his assistant. As a gynecologist, she had to take extra care of Eudora to watch out for any postpartum complications.

This was a very challenging operation.

They needed to go through at least three phases. The first was the C-section on Eudora, followed by removing the donor's organ. Last but not least, they had to do the organ transplant and then stitch her up. So far, Eudora's vitals were normal and she was doing great. She was strong for the sake of her child.

However, Doctor Leon was very nervous, especially after considering Amos' condition. If something were to go wrong, not only Amos but also Eudora would be in danger. After all, there were no other donors at the moment.

Doctor Leon took a deep breath and said, "Wipe my sweat."

The nurse immediately helped him wipe his sweat, and soon after, he began to remove Amos' kidney. Only, not long after they began, a warning popped up on the vital signs monitor.

The nurse said hurriedly, "The patient's vitals are rapidly declining! It may be life-threatening."

Doctor Leon furrowed his eyebrows as Helen, who was next to him, said, "Doctor Leon, I suggest stopping the operation immediately."

Doctor Leon shook his head. His mind was filled with the words that Amos had said to him alone before entering the operating room. "Uncle Leon! We've known each other for many years. You know what I want!"

That was the first time Amos had called him Uncle Leon, but it felt like a mountain of burden on his shoulders. He trusted him with his life.

"Amos..."

"Don't persuade me! You know that I am very stubborn. I won't listen to any advice. Eudora is my life. As long as she is fine, nothing else matters! Please don't let me down!" Thinking of this, Doctor Leon took a deep breath and said, "We're going on with the operation!"

Helen looked at Amos' pale face and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Dad! You should reconsider. He could die!"

Doctor Leon frowned and said, "Someone please take Helen out!"

The nurse next to her quickly came forward and grabbed Helen. "Doctor Leon, please don't disturb the operation here any further. Please make your way out!"

Helen was unwilling to give up. "Dad, is it worth it to sacrifice one life in exchange for another? Aren't doctors supposed to heal the wounded and save people? It is not our place to decide the fates of others!11 They didn't know if it was Helen's voice, but Eudora, who was lying unconscious on the other bed, seemed to have gotten triggered by something. Her vitals suddenly began to drop abnormally.

Her heartbeat, her pulse, and other vitals were declining.

"Helen!1 Doctor Leon roared. "Is this what a doctor should do?"

It was only then that Helen realized that she had gotten too worked up. She quickly calmed down and stopped looking at Amos. Then, she began to rescue Eudora.

However, the two of them were had abnormal vitals all of the sudden. Even Helen herself was scared.

"Doctor Leon, what should we do?"

Doctor Leon took a deep breath and said to Helen, "Come here!"

Helen immediately rushed over. Doctor Leon whispered something into her ear, and Helen took a quick glance at Amos.

"Hurry!" Doctor Leon urged.

Helen blinked her eyes and suppressed the tears that were about to roll down her cheeks. She quickly walked over and whispered into Eudora's ear,

"Amos wanted you to know that no matter what happens, you must live on."

After that being said, Helen gave in to her anger and added,

"He risked his life to keep you alive. If you give up, I will look down on you!"

Eudora, whose heartbeat was getting weaker, suddenly shed a tear. The nurse next to her shouted, "Look, the patient is crying!"

Another nurse shouted, "Her heartbeat is slowly going back to normal! Her pulse too!"

Helen sniffed. Only then did she turn her head to look at Amos, whose kidney had been removed.

Mr. Granger, did you see? Your beloved had held on so well. Could you do the same too?

Doctor Leon quickly brought the kidney over and did the transplant onto Eudora. On the other side, another doctor was mending Amos' wound.

However, after the organ was removed, Amos' vitals began to drop once again.

Each beep on the monitor made Helen's heart pound vigorously. She held Amos' hand and said, "Mr. Granger, please hold on!"

Outside, Gordon was equally troubled. He sat there, his mind filled with all kinds of images.

He pictured himself having a mental breakdown, and he also remembered when he saw Eudora's mother crying silently years ago.

He also thought of that photo that she would often take out to look at over and over again in the middle of the night! He had seen the man in the photo countless times.

It was that man who stole her away from him...

In the end, he still lost. Eudora was not his child!

Eudora was the child of that man!

At this moment, the door of the operating room opened and the nurse ran out from inside. Gordon had goosebumps all over his skin and he grabbed the nurse hurriedly. "How is it? What's going on inside?"

"The situation is not good. The patient's vitals keeps declining! We may need a kidney supply!"

Gordon's hands shook. At this point, perhaps he shouldn't hesitate anymore!

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number at the bottom of his contact book that had been left untouched for years with trembling hands.

In the operating room, Eudora's vitals were stabilized, and the kidney transplant was very successful. However, Amos' body had not fully recovered from his last injury, hence, his life was at stake after having donated his kidney. The hospital had contacted various kidney sources. To no avail, this might be the worst operation Doctor Leon had done in his life.

At this point, he began to doubt himself. Was what he did right or wrong?
