Chapter 8 Another Check

When Deborah broke into the ward and asked Ashton to donate his bone marrow to Alyssa, Ashton

was taking care of Helen in the hospital bed

Thinking of the bastard that Deborah had with another man, Ashton said in a cold tone, “Let’s talk

about it later.”

Deborah looked at him and her face darkened, “Ashton, you are not going to go back on your word,

right?

“Because of the liver donation operation, I rested for half a month. Now the doctor said that Alyssa

could only hold on for more than two months. Don’t forget that we signed a contract before I donated

my liver.”

Ashton sneered, “I always keep my word. But you, you kept saying that you agree to donate your liver

to Helen. How much did you

donate?”

Devon sighed, “Debby, if you don’t want to donate liver to Helen, you can say it earlier. You just Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

donated 30% of your liver, so you are

fine.

“But because you donated too little liver, the doctor said that in the future, Helen’s health will still be

greatly affected. She might suffer a relapse of liver cancer, and there might be other diseases”

Deborah did not know how much liver she donated. She agreed to donate only to save Alyssa. Even if

she really lost her life, she

would not refuse.

But when Deborah heard them say this, she was full of anxiety. “How much liver do I donate? Wasn’t it

decided by you? It is not up to me to donate more or less. The doctor only took 30% of my liver, I didn’t

ask…”

With a guilty look, Helen interrupted Deborah, “Dad, Ashton, don’t say such harsh words to Debby. I

told the doctor that I only wanted 30% of Debby’s liver.

“This way, it can reduce the risk of Debby’s surgery and reduce the impact on her future life as much as

possible. It was my idea. Ashton, don’t blame Debby. If your bone marrow can save Alyssa, can you

help Debby and Alyssa?”

At this time, Deborah did not care about her disgust towards Helen. Although Deborah knew that Helen

was just acting, she still followed Helen’s words and said.

“Ashton, don’t you always follow Helen’s words? Not only have I signed a contract with you, but now

Helen also wants you to donate the bone marrow. You won’t go back on your words, will you?”

Ashton was a little hesitant at first, but since Helen had said that, he called the doctor over, “Arrange

the bone marrow donation.”

It was the surgeon, Ernest, who came in. He nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Mullen. According to the

process, I need to extract a bit of your bone marrow and check if it is a match for Alyssa.”

At this time, Deborah was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so she anxiously

interrupted, “There is no need to check again. The hospital has checked before, and the result is

positive.”

Ernest replied, “Before the bone marrow donation, we have to check it again. It is also to ensure that

your daughter Alyssa receives suitable bone marrow. It is to ensure your daughter’s safety.”

Deborah looked at Ernest in silence. For some reason, she felt uneasy. “Can you ask Dr. Gaige to

come over to do a bone marrow

check?”

“Ms. Shepherd, Dr. Gaige has other work to deal with. I came here because of the hospital’s

arrangement.” Ernest looked puzzled. “Are you doubting my medical skills? Besides, it is not me who

checks it. The extracted bone marrow will be sent to the examination room and examined by the

equipment.”

Deborah clenched her fists and wanted to say something. Ashton said impatiently, “Deborah, if you

want me to save your daughter, you better not let me hear the name Zayne again!”

Deborah had no choice but to agree to let Emest be in charge of checking the matching of the bone

marrow.

Emest took Ashton and Alyssa to the piercing room to extract their bone marrows.

Deborah wanted to follow in, but Ernest stopped her. “Ms. Shepherd, the piercing room is like an

operating room. Family members are

not allowed to enter.”

Deborah had no choice but to wait outside, thinking to herself that everything would go on smoothly.

Alyssa did not have much time left. If she missed this opportunity, she would not be able to wait for the

next time.

Emest took the bone marrow sample and handed it to the examination room.

Ashton did not wait for one more second and went back to Helen’s side.

Deborah held Alyssa in her arms and sat on a chair in the corridor outside the examination room,

anxiously waiting.

She stared at the door of the examination room without blinking, as if as long as she did so, she could

ensure that there would be no

wrong results.

Alyssa was a little nervous in her arms. Deborah was actually more nervous than Alyssa, but she still

tried to calm her down as much as possible, “Alyssa, don’t be afraid. When the results come out, Dad

can donate the bone marrow to you.

“With a new healthy bone marrow, you can leave the hospital like other children. You can go anywhere

you want to go. You can go to kindergarten, and play with many children.

Alyssa leaned in Deborah’s arms, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “Can I go to kindergarten? I

don’t have to stay in the hospital

every day?”

Deborah nodded with certainty. “Yes, you will leave the hospital.”

Deborah sat outside and waited for a long time, but she did not see anyone take out any results from

the examination room.

It was not until a nurse at the end of the corridor walked over quickly and said to Deborah, “Are you Ms.

Shepherd? We have got the results of your daughter and Mr. Mullen’s bone marrow check.”
