Chapter 360
âSeriously? Asking Gregory for help?â I canât help but wonder if I was too pessimistic. Given his obsession with Lilliana, Iâd put my faith in Ramona rather than him. Despite his constant complaints about Lilliana being all wrong for him, heâd never stand by and watch her die, not even if there was just a oneâinâaâthousand chance.
Gregory was not one to waffle, Sacrificing me was something I saw coming a mile away,
Bang! Surprisingly, without any prior argument heard from outside, there was a sudden loud bang. With the door kicked open wide, Gregory stormed in with a chilling aura.
To my utter astonishment, he strode in, untied me in seconds, and ripped off the duct tape from my mouth with trembling hands. âJane, how could you be so foolish again!â
I tried to say something. ââ¦â
âEnough, donât speak. You look terrible.â After ensuring they didnât drain my blood, his expression softened, though still with disdain. âIâm taking you to a doctor.â
âGreg!â Dorothy was momentarily frightened by his presence, but she quickly regained her composure and bit back, âYou canât take her with you today, no matter what!â
Gregory ignored Dorothy. He bent down to pick me up and leave,
âGreg!â Susan directly commanded the bodyguards to block the door. âThis time, I canât let you have your way, boy,â
Gregoryâs gaze turned stormy, and he gently stroked my hands to soothe the irritation from the rashes. His usually indifferent face was cold, and he mocked, âDid you all forget it is the Ford familyâs hospital? Tell your men to back off.â
âYou can leave, but Jane canât,â Susan insisted.
âThen tell your people to kill me. If they canât, I must take her away.â Gregoryâs eyes lit up with fierce intensity, and he sneered, âIf youâre going to fight, make it quick. Donât delay me taking her to see a doctor.â
The Myers family wouldnât dare. Having already offended the RF, it wouldnât be long before the Myers family vanished from Vista Town if they were to clash with the Ford family.
Anxious and angry, Ramona hesitated before saying, âLet Gregory and Jane go!â
âGrandma!â Seeing that, Dorothy rushed to the door. âYou could care less about me, but can you be so indifferent to Lilliana?â
Ramona had been worried about Lillianaâs bloodline and was visibly exhausted. âHavenât you seen what condition Jane is in? Continuing to take her blood might kill her.â
Dorothy scoffed. âItâs just the life of an outsider. Is that more important than Lillianaâs?â
âI know Lilliana, Ramona said, leaning on her servant for support. âSheâs always been kindâhearted. If her life comes at the expense of someone elseâs, she will live in quilt for the rest of her life.â
âBut Ramona, that was when she was a child? Susan was frantic. âDo you know what Lilliana thinks now? Have you asked her if she wants to die?â
âAnd have you asked Jane that? Just because she wasnât born into the Myers family, does she deserve to die?â Ramona stood her ground.
But I could see the hesitation on her face.
Indeed, itâs natural to hesitate when you have to choose between family and a strange
The black market for organ trading wouldnât exist if everyone had principles and reason.
Suddenly, Dorothy glared at Gregory. âWhat about you, Greg? Lilliana is the person youâve been waiting for over twenty years. Are you willing to watch her die for Jane? Ah!â
Gregory abruptly choked Dorothy! While looking down at her, Gregoryâs lips curled into a wicked smile. âI remember your blood type also matches, doesnât it?â
Suddenly, fear flashed in Dorothyâs eyes. I canât. Iâm way too thin. I donât meet the weight requirement for donating bloodâ¦â
Gregory glanced at the medical staff, asking coldly, âWill she die?â
âMr. Ford, she wonât die if we control the amount of blood.â
