“Tell me, why are you helping me when I don’t even know you? Is this a trick? Don’t think that I’m that stupid!”
Jorge glared at the man in black, throwing the card key to the ground.
The downpour of rain grew heavier as they confronted each other.
The man in black didn’t seem to care that the card key was being washed away by the rain.
“Do you know why Brandon is after you? It’s because you stole the designs from your girlfriend and it got Natalie into trouble.He’s simply trying to avenge his woman!”
He then turned around and walked away.
“You’re a ridiculously ungrateful man.Brandon is practically a god within Barnes.You’re gonna get caught in two days.And by the time he finds you, you’re going to be in a much more miserable situation than you are now.”
Having heard his remark, Jorge trembled in fear.He then wiped away the water stains on his face, silently picked up the card key from the ground, and held it like his life depended on it.
Though he knew that this man must have some hidden agenda, the situation was dire and there was no better option for him.
“Fine.I’m heading to the hotel.”
Jorge seemed to have lost all his strength when he said those words.He then walked into a dark alley and disappeared into the rainy night.
Once the man in black was certain that Jorge was gone, he walked toward a roofed area and made a phone call.
A woman’s soothing voice was heard over the phone.
“How did it go?”
“I found Jorge.He has gone to the hotel with the card key I gave him.”
The man in black looked at the empty alley and grinned.
In Barnes hospital.
Vivian was lying on a hospital bed. her face was a little pale.
When she heard what the man said over the phone, a faint smile appeared on her l*ps.
“Great.”
Her next step was to make good use of Jorge.
Vivian hung up the call.
Right now, she was in the VIP ward.
The facilities were better than ordinary ones, and the doctors and nurse treated her quite well.
At this moment, a nurse entered the ward.lt was time to change the dressing.
“How are you today, Miss Cooper? Do you feel any better?” the nurse asked Vivian with concern.
With a faint smile, Vivian slowly sat up and answered, “I feel so much better now.”
Without further ado, she unb**toned her clothes, revealing a long, gauze on her right upper abdomen.
The nurse carefully removed the old dressing and cleaned Vivian’s wound with a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
“Since you had just undergone the surgery, you should eat a lot of nutritious food to help you recover faster.And when you get discharged, you should rest until the wound heals.You can’t do any strenuous exercises just yet,” the nurse advised while changing the dressing.
She then tidied Vivian’s clothes and added, “It’s so good to be young.With your age, you’ll quickly recover.l’m sure you will be discharged from the hospital soon.”
Vivian just smiled and did not say anything anymore.
A few moments later, the nurse finished what she was supposed to do.But before she left, she decided to ask Vivian a question she had been dying to know.
“Are you perhaps related with Mr.Turner? It’s just that your blood type is very rare.I’m in awe.You’re still young, yet you’re willing to donate a part of your liver to him.”
Donating an organ was not a small thing.
Vivian smiled and pulled up the quilt until it covered herself.
Without a word, she looked out of the window.
The rain had lessened, and the whole city seemed to have been washed by the rain.
“No. The truth is, I was an orphan sponsored by Mr.Turner’s daughter. She’s gone now. And since her father needs help, I believe that it’s only right for me to repay her kindness by doing this for her father.”
“Oh, I see,” the nurse uttered, taken aback.
She was silent for a few seconds and looked at Vivian with respect.
To somehow ease the awkward silence, she sorted out the tools in the tray and said, “There aren’t many people like you who know how to be grateful. But just so you know, the Turner family is also lucky to meet a girl as kind-hearted as you.”
“It was Miss Turner who helped me first. Without her, I won’t be who Vivian replied with a modest smile.
Suddenly, she realized something. She looked out of the door with a sad exp**ssion and continued, “But I might leave Mr.Turner and Mrs.Turner soon. I’ll say goodbye to them once I recover. I don’t want to disturb their lives anymore.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the ward opened from the outside.
“You’re not going anywhere, my silly girl,” Catherine said while rushing in.
When she saw the melancholia on Vivian’s face, her eyes turned red again.
Meanwhile, Vivian feigned surprise. She pretended that she did not know Mrs.Turner was eavesdropping outside.
At this moment, she lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, “Mr.Turner has just gotten better.! don’t want to make him angry again. I will leave as he wishes. But bear in mind that I will always be grateful to you.”
Catherine sat on the edge of Vivian’s bed and sighed. She was at a loss for words.
Just a few days ago, she had planned on transferring a large sum of money to the liver donor.
However, the hospital told her that the donor had refused to accept the money.
That did not stop Catherine from finding out who the donor was.She even hired someone to investigate the person. lt turned out that it was Vivian.
Catherine was both shocked and moved. She immediately asked someone to move Vivian into the VIP ward.
“Let bygones be bygones.You saved Luke’s life.He won’t drive you away anymore.”
Catherine turned around and took the thermos from the servant who was standing behind her.
“The doctor said you should consume nutritious food, so I brought you some soup.”
Catherine opened the lid of the thermos and poured out a white thick soup into a bowl. lt turned out to be a fish soup.lt was still steaming. lt had green scallions, and it looked appetizing.
