When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 977

It was already night-time when we reached the hospital. Fortunately, we made a call beforehand andasked Cameron to get Mrs. Dune to prepare some food and send it to the hospital so that we couldhave a simple dinner.

My father pushed Summer over for a checkup. Cameron looked at me and said, “Your dad said thatyou might be able to replace bone marrow that matches Summer. Is that true? Don’t do silly things, mydear. 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 matchmyself to see if my bone marrow would fit Summer. “Mom, you’re overthinking this. Ashton and myblood types don’t even match Summer’s. We wouldn’t have to be so worried if my bone marrow couldmatch hers.”

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

Armond gave me the card, but I did not have complete faith in that man. The only way I could replace out ifthis was legit was if I made a trip to A City. If this indeed produced a viable lead, my plan was to makeAshton fetch Summer over there.

“Don’t worry about it. Summer is going to undergo chemotherapy soon. You need to take good care ofher. 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 theprojects 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 firstbefore 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 helooked tired. He leaned back against the chair in a daze while Cameron asked the nurse on the thingsthat 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 knowabout 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 Iwanted. Zachary was almost dozing off but set his back straight at my question. “Your mom told youthat?”

I nodded. “I got the gist of it. Dad, could you tell me more about it? Summer is my daughter, and aslong as they’re legally sourced, it doesn’t matter how much it’s going to cost. But I’m not going to riskbreaking the law.”

He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and sighed. “I heard this from someone too, and I’m still askingfor more information on it. Previously when I contacted them, they had mentioned that with the rightprice, the organs would be donated by children who died of unnatural causes. Your mother is reallyworried 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 replace outmore when I go to A City. It’s not appropriate for you to get involved with this. The Moore family is goingto 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’llask Boris to come back from Moranta and accompany you to A City. I’ll be more at ease if he’s withyou.”

I got curious at the mention of Boris. “Dad, how are you related to him? Judging by his status atMoranta, 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 youaround. Boris is not my subordinate, nor I his. He doesn’t have a family, and he just decided to settledown in Moranta.”

I was actually surprised. Given Boris’ age, I thought the man would have had a family already but theman was not even married yet.

Cameron came back after consulting the nurse. She had been so busy these days her face looked sopale. I felt a lump in my throat and led her to a seat. After debating with myself, I looked at her and myfather. “Mom, Dad, I need you guys to help take care of Summer these few days. I need to head to ACity 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 tous. She frowned and asked, “Are you going to A City because of Summer?” She had always beenagainst us doing anything that might have harmed our future even it was for Summer. As expected, shespoke up to oppose our ideas. “I don’t agree with this, Scarlett. I understand how exasperated you feelabout 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 toyou both?”
