Chapter 585

Kevin returned to the hospital room with Jasper’s test results. Bradley was still unconscious, and Esther sat in a chair, tightly holding his hand.

“Esther.”

Esther looked up. Kevin was reluctant to tell her the truth, which was reflected in her reddened Jasper’s liver was not a match for Bradley’s transplant, an expected outcome.

“Jasper’s liver isn’t suitable either. But don’t worry. We’ll keep searching.”

Esther hesitated for a moment and nodded gently. “We’ll surely find a suitable one.””

eyes.

Kevin had mixed feelings. He thought perhaps things would not be as smooth as they had hoped. After all, it was a liver! Finding a suitable one for transplantation was truly difficult.

“Don’t lose hope. We’ll find one as long as we don’t give up.”

Kevin left the room and sat on a bench outside, anxiously pulling at his hair.
