Chapter 378: Chapter 379

Chapter 379 She Needs a Kidney Transplant Fanny wept beside Scarlet’s hospital bed for what felt like an eternity. She cried until she felt a little exhausted. Finally, Joseph and Christopher assisted her with an examination together.

The examination was thorough, mainly consisting of routine check–ups. However, the doctor’s demeanor upon receiving the results was far from reassuring.

“Dr. Craig, what’s the matter with Fanny?” Joseph, having spent some time at Mercy Hospital, was acquainted with many colleagues, though most were more senior in both title and expertise.

Henry, with a rank higher than Joseph’s, studied the report with a solemn expression. “Let’s conduct another round of detailed checks, focusing primarily on the kidneys.”

Joseph was taken aback and instinctively reached for the report. Sure enough, among the various indicators, there was an abnormality concerning the kidneys..

Upon exiting Henry’s office, Joseph wore an uneasy expression and it immediately drew the attention of Christopher and Fanny.

“Joseph, what’s going on?” Fanny asked with reddened eyes.

Joseph shook his head and said, “We still got to do one more round of checks, Fanny. I’ll stick with you.”

He figured it best to keep her in the dark until they had more info. Telling her now would just pile on the worry.

Christopher glanced at Joseph’s face and tried to figure out what to say.

After they finished up with the last checkup and Fanny was exhausted, Joseph decided. “I’ll hang around for the results, but you, Fanny, head on home and get some rest.”

Fanny hesitated, sensing there was more to it than what Joseph let on..

Christopher caught Joseph’s eye and suggested, “Come on, Fanny. Let’s walk you home.”

Fanny shot Joseph a look before finally heading out.

Once they were out of the hospital, Fanny couldn’t shake the feeling of dread. “Christopher, do you think I got something serious?”

Christopher rushed to reassure her, “No way, Fanny. You’ll be fine, trust Even though he tried to sound sure, he had doubts nagging at him.

He couldn’t shake off the me.”

somehow foreseen the gemory of the look Joseph gave him last, making him wonder if the latter had somehow foreseen the grim outcome and that’s why he sent Fanny away beforehand.

Since childhooti, Fanny had always had poor health, never without minor ailments. But today, Joseph’s expression made it seem that it wasn’t just another minor ailment.

Christopher comforted Fanny and sent her back to her residence before calling Joseph.

1/4 In the hospital. Joseph awaited the results of the tests anxiously. As he stared at the report, his expression shifted from confusion to realization.

He stared at the words on the report, going over them repeatedly, yet unable to change the outcome staring back at him.

Fanny’s kidneys were failing. It was a renal failure. Though still in its early stages, she would need a kidney transplant for sure.

She was so young. They couldn’t possibly deny her the treatment, but where could he find a kidney donor?

While he had some influence and connections at Riverdon Hospital, this was Northland. Where could he possibly look?

While mulling over the situation, he felt a headache coming on. He decided it was best to discuss the matter with James and figure out a solution together.

Just as he was about to dial a number, he noticed a call coming in from Christopher. After some hesitation, he answered.

Although the Sanders Family wasn’t as affluent as before, they might still be able to help with finding a kidney donor.

Joseph, have the test results for Fanny come out yet?” Christopher asked eagerly as soon as the call connected.

Joseph sighed. “Yes, they have. Fanny isn’t with you, is she?”

“I’ve already taken her home. Joseph, please tell me, is she sick?”

“She needs a kidney transplant.”

Upon hearing this, Christopher initially thought he had misheard. But after confirming multiple times, the reality remained the same.

Fanny’s illness was grave and she needed a kidney transplant.

Then let’s arrange for a transplant!” Christopher suggested.

Joseph sighed. “Kidneys are hard to come by, but the Kins Family will do our best to find one. Christopher, you can keep an eye out too.”

In moments like these, Joseph’s attitude toward the latter softened a bit.

Christopher quickly agreed and then called Michael, who was far away in Riverdon, asking for help in the search.

However, when Michael received his call, he first asked how his date with Jane went.

“Have you met Jane? Did you apologize? Did she forgive you?” Michael’s tone was calm as he was obviously trying to reassure Christopher.

After all, if Christopher was set up on a blind date with a girl he didn’t like, and had to apologize on top of it, his mood probably wouldn’t be great.

2/4 Chapter 379 She Needs a After Michael’s reminder, Christopher remembered that he had arranged to meet Jane, but it had been quite a while!

“Dad. I’m sorry, I completely forgot about meeting Jane.” He had informed Michael about his plans to meet Jane beforehand, so Michael knew that, according to the normal schedule, he should have finished his meeting with Jane by now.

But he had been at the hospital with Fanny for her check–up and then had taken her home, so he completely forgot about his appointment with Jane.

He had stood her up, but Jane had not reached out to him, which was unusual.

Upon hearing this. Michael scolded him. “What were you thinking? How could you forget your appointment? Has she contacted you?”

After Michael scolded him. Christopher felt both frustrated and unable to argue back.

He still needed to ask Michael for help finding a kidney source, so he couldn’t afford to keep upsetting him at a time like this.

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll apologize to her right away!”

Even though he really didn’t want to see Jane, he had no choice but to go. For the sake of helping Fanny find a kidney source, even if Jane deliberately made things difficult for him again, he would sincerely apologize to her.

“Hurry up” Michael was not in the mood for more discussion. He just wanted him to go and make things right with Jane.

Afraid of his father hanging up the phone, Christopher quickly added, “Dad, wait, please don’t hang up yet, I need to ask you for a favor.”

But Micheal didn’t give him a chance to speak again and hung up after the last sentence.

“First, sort things out with her before you’re qualified to ask for my help.”

After hanging up the phone, Michael felt pretty annoyed. He couldn’t believe how compliant Christopher was just now. Turns out, he had something to ask for.

“Did Christopher go to see Miss Coolidge?” Teresa asked cautiously as Micheal hung up the phone.

Michael replied grumpily, “Nope. Not only did he stand Miss Coolidge up, but she didn’t even try to contact him.”

Earlier, he had gone through the trouble of orchestrating a whole act with Teresa to get Christopher to meet Jane. But that unreliable Christopher dared to stand her up!

But Christopher was the one he personally sent to Northland which was far away, so he really couldn’t do much about him now.

Teresa fell silent upon hearing this.

“He seems to need my help with something, so he’ll probably apologize to Miss Coolidge next. Michael added.

3/4 Chapter 379 She Needs a Kidney Transplant Upon hearing this, Teresa felt a bit relieved and comforted him. “Christopher is still young and immature. Hell learn.

In Northland. Christopher stared at the abruptly ended call. He was tempted to call Michael back and urge him to start looking for a kidney donor.

But after hesitating for a while, considering Michael’s anger, he decided to hold off for now.

He tried contacting Jane.

However, despite calling her number several times, each call was promptly dismissed. It was clear that she had no intention of answering his calls.
