I’ll give you three months.
If you can‘t get me that box by the end of that period, then I‘ll make sure you meet a tragic death.”
Elyette had no way of confirming that the maroon box he lost was in Charlie’s hands. He also could not make sure that Wanda would follow his orders obediently. The reason he was telling her about this was so that he could use her to find out the whereabouts of the box.
The theft of the box might have happened a long time ago, but it would still occasionally come up to torment him.
That box was like a ticking time bomb, and he did not know when it would go off.
He had thought about it for a long time but was still clueless.
Who was the one who went into his study and took that box?
If someone wanted to bring him down, they could reveal the information in the box at any time and ruin him!
However, the person who took the box had never contacted him nor revealed the box’s contents to the public.
If that person did not want to harm him, then why did they take the box in the first place?
It was such a pickle that he wondered if nobody had actually stolen the box, but there was a glitch in the space-time continuum instead!
However, everything that happened in reality continuously reminded him that there was no such thing.
If there truly was a glitch in the space-time continuum, then why did everything that happened made him feel the true malice of the world?
Shea arrived at Wesley’s place that morning.
At noon, he personally cooked her a lavish lunch.
“Are you not feeling well, Shea?
You’re unusually quiet today.”
Wesley place the food in front of Shea, then tenderly examined her.
Her complexion was paler than before after the blood donation.
However, it had recovered quite a lot compared to yesterday.
“I can’t marry you, Wesley.”
Shea picked up her fork and lowered her gaze.
“My brother said that the person you like is Averie.
You might like me, but you like her more.”
Her words made the calmness on his face vanish.
“You told your brother about this?”
“I accidentally told him.”
Shea sighed, then said, “It’s the same no matter when I tell him.
If he won’t let me marry you, then it must be for my own good.”
“That’s right.
It’s indeed for your own good.
I’ve told you before that being by his side is the safest thing for you.”
Then, Wesley continued casually, “As for Averie, I’ve always admired her.
She’s a good person and an amazing doctor.
I look up to her very much.”
Shea lifted her head and gazed carefully at him.
“I’d be happy for an entire day if she looked over at me a few times.
I turn into an idiot in front of her.”
At this point, Wesley mocked himself and said, “I might like her, but I know that she doesn’t belong to me because I can’t give her happiness.
Which is why I let go of that wishful thinking.”
“Don’t say that, Wesley.
You’re also a good person.”
Shea felt a little sad.
“I told you before that I won’t get married or have kids in this life, Shea.
That’s why we can be good friends for the rest of our lives.”
“Are you not getting married and having kids for the sake of being friends with me?”
Shea said dejectedly.
“I don’t want that… Other people have kids, but you don’t…” 10 “The meaning of life is not necessarily to reproduce.”
Wesley placed a smoked rib on her plate, then said, “If I cared about marriage at all, then I would probably have more kids than Averie does by now.”
“Alright!
I’ll still wish you happiness if you ever decide to get married one day,” Shea said seriously.
“I’ve dragged my brother down, but I don’t want to drag you down.”
“You’re not dragging anybody down,” Wesley said sternly.
“In the time that you’ve depended on your brother to live, you were also his spiritual support.”
Shea did not quite understand, but smiled sweetly anyway.
When Elyette arrived at the hospital that evening, the doctor rushed to him before he could find Averie.
“Mr.Foster, the experts have come to a unanimous decision after monitoring Robert’s reaction to the blood transfusion in the last couple of days,” the doctor said with a heavy expression on his face.
“A blood change would have an effect on Robert’s condition.
The reason why the last two transfusions aren’t showing obvious results is because there isn’t enough blood.
If you want your son to recover, then he will need a complete blood change.
“It would take at least an entire pint of blood. ” One pint… All they needed was two adults to donate blood. However, it was hard enough for them to find one donor. Where were they going to find two of them? Elyette could not allow Shea to donate her blood.
He could not allow her to take that risk!
Then, what would happen to Robert?
He was the one who let Robert be born into this world.
Did he truly have to watch as he died from this illness?
Just as he was standing on the edge of hopelessness, Averie walked over.
“Mike found the blood.”
She had just gotten off the phone with Mike and immediately rushed over to tell them the news.
“He found close to half a pint of blood.
It‘s been sent to a hospital for testing right now.
If it‘s a match, it can immediately be airflown here.”
“We still need over half a pint.
I‘ll go search for it.
.”
Elyette mumbled.
“Where are you going?
It‘s already dark out,” Averie said as she grabbed his arm.
She did not want him running around anymore.
“We could just send someone to get it if we find a source.”
She did not want to see him flustered over this matter any longer.
As Elyette saw the care Averie felt for him, his eyes reddened with guilt.
What would she do if she found out that Shea‘s blood was a match for Robert?
He did not want to tell her about this.
He did not want to give her hope, only to disappoint her.
However, all they needed right now was one more donor.
As long as they find one person to donate blood, then Robert would be saved!
It was not certain that something bad would happen if Shea donated blood.
Why did he not have the courage to take the gamble?
Elyette felt a lump in his throat, and tears suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes.
The doctor was stunned.
Averie was also taken aback.
Why was he suddenly crying with all the people around them?
Robert did not have a death sentence just yet.
There was still a chance they could save him.
What was he crying for?
“What‘s wrong, Elyette?”
Averie hugged him as she gently stroked his muscular back.
“Is it because you’re too tired?
I‘ll take you to the hotel to get some rest, okay?
We could still save Robert.
Don‘t be so sad.”
Her comforting words sped up Elyette‘s emotional breakdown.
“I‘m sorry, Averie.
I let you down.
I let Robert down.”
He allowed himself to cry out loud.
“I can‘t protect anybody.
I let all of you down.
