Chapter 1370 Charmine quickly stood up and helped Frank to get to the operating room.
The red light turned on as Nial worked on saving Faye.
"Donât worry," Charmine assured Frank, "Nial is on the case." "Okay."
Frank stood before the operating room, but he was gazing in Charmine's direction instead.
There were many instances when he desperately wanted to ask her to donate Faye a kidney... but he must not be so selfish.
Charmine was not meant to. If anything happened during the transplant, she would be in pain.
Furthermore, this matter had nothing to do with Charmine. It was all Faye's fault! How could he use his resources to help Faye?
Standing by the side, Frank's expression crumpled desolately.
A moment later, he recalled what Faye had said to him and began after a deep inhale, "Charmine..."
Charmine looked at him. "Whatâs wrong, Frank?" 'Could you help Faye?'
Those words were simple enough, yet he could bring himself to utter them.
Finally, he sighed to himself and asked, "Did you find a suitable kidney?"
Charmineâs eyes narrowed at that. "Not yet. The highest compatibility rate for now is thirty-nine percent. We can't proceed with the operation yet."
Frank nodded. "Sorry for the trouble." "Itâs okay."
Charmine looked at him. The usually calm and peaceful Frank was anxious for his sister's life...
She was never a soft-hearted person, but she could not fend off the emotions storming within her.
Frank stood before the operating room, and though his eyes showed how ill he was and his breathing slowing down, he remained upright.
Two hours later, the doors to the room were still closed.
Seeing Frank's bloodshot eyes, Charmine persuaded, "Frank, why donât you go back and have a rest? When Nial comes back out, I'll come for you.â
Frank waved it off. "It's okay. Iâll wait here."
Faye was in a critical situation. How could he rest?
She would not have suffered so much had he not brought her out of the bamboo forest.
There were too many uncertainties in the future...
He did not fear dying, but if he could not find Faye a suitable kidney...
Faye was his only remaining relative, while he was Faye's only support.
As long as he asked for help from Charmine, Faye would be saved, but...
Charmine had no reason to help her.
Frank felt guilty and complicated. He began to feel drowsy, but he clenched his fists tightly and persevered.
Charmine noticed the beads of sweat on Frank's forehead. His entire being began to tremble as he broke out in cold sweat. His breath grew shallow, too...
She frowned and asked, "Frank, is your illness coming back?"
Frank remained calm. "It doesn't matter." "Go and get some rest; there's no point waiting here. If anything happens to her, I'll let you know," said Charmine.
Frank shook his head. "It's okay. Don't try to convince me. I'll wait here."
Charmine was helpless.
Frank had always been stubborn. Just like before, there was no way of persuading him.
As she was about to say something, Frank covered his mouth and started coughing. He tasted blood in his mouth, and his fingertips were drenched, too.
He clenched his fists and did not let Charmine see it.
Seeing how his coughs grew intense, she went ahead to help him.
"You must get some rest!" Not giving him a chance to resist, she forced her to his room.
Frank also wanted to clear up the bloodstains, so he allowed Charmine to bring him back to his room.
