Chapter 188

Herbert’s POV At this time, I was standing in front of the hospital’s sterile ward.

Through the glass, I could see a small body lying on the white bed in the ward. He was only about a week old and had a lovely hairstyle. The child’s chubby little hand was placed beside the pillow. His sleeping posture was very cute, but his face was extremely pale.

My Lucas was ill.

I felt terrible. If I could, I hoped to be the one who had to bear all the pain.

“Mr. Wharton, you’ve been standing here for two hours. You need to go back and rest.” Connor tried to persuade me.

“I can’t sleep. I want to stay here with Lucas.” I continued to look at Lucas. “The doctor said that Lucas’s condition has been controlled. Don’t worry too much.” Connor continued to persuade me.

I said, “I’ve consulted the most authoritative doctor in leukemia in America. This disease can only be controlled for a limited period of time. Maybe after a period of time, it might get worse. If we can’t find the bone marrow that matches with Lucas’s in time, Lucas… I couldn’t go on. My eyes were already wet.

“We are already searching for suitable bone marrow from all over the country. Even though it is extremely difficult to find thể right one, we won’t give up. We will continue searching.” Connor’s tone was resolute. I continued, “The doctor said that the chances of finding a suitable match are very slim.” “The doctor also said that if Lucas has siblings, the success rate of matching will be as high as 50%”

“That’s why i did that to Bella, hoping that she will get pregnant. That’s my biggest hope,” I said.

I knew it was very wrong to do this.

But for the sake of Lucas, I had no choice. Connor hesitated for a moment. “But if you do this, Miss Stepanek will be extremely hurt. Are you really not going to tell her? If you tell her, she will definitely agree to have another child with you in order to save Lucas.”

I shook my head slowly. “It’s my fault.”

“I thought she cheated on Hank and wanted to divorce me. So I hid the child selfishly. She finally accepted the fact that the child had left.”

“The success rate of matching is only fifty percent, not one hundred percent. If Bella knows that Lucas is her child and if the matching fails, does Bella have to endure the pain of her child’s death once again?

This feeling is too unbearable. This time, I can bear it alone.”

“So, I would rather she hate me.”

My hand was on the glass and my heart was very uncomfortable as if a pair of hands were tearing 14:24 D my heart violently.

Connor remained silent for a moment, and then said, “The pain of losing a child is just like someone piercing a heart with an electric drill, enough to make one go crazy.” I suddenly thought of something, so I asked, “Connor, do you think I did something wrong back then?”

“What?” Connor asked. “I lied to Bella that the child was dead,” I said. If Bella had known that the child was still alive, perhaps she and I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Connor said, “Back then, Miss Stepanek misunderstood you and insisted on a divorce. You just didn’t want her to compete with you for the right to raise Lucas. In addition, you were impulsive back then. Because of Hank’s appearance, you were blinded by jealousy.” “Actually, Miss Stepanek isn’t in love with Hank. I heard that Miss Stepanek’s younger sister, Betty, has gotten married. It’s said that she’s about to give birth to a baby. From an objective point of view, liss Stepanek in the past. However, there’s no way to change what happened in the past.”

“So, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have lied. I had to cover up this lie countless times after I lied,” I said helplessly.

“Lucas will definitely recover. Don’t worry too much.” Connor said.

I nodded firmly. “However, you still have to pay attention to your own body. Lucas needs you.” Connor said. “I understand.” I nodded. “Right, Caroline… wants to see you.” Connor said. When I heard the woman’s name, anger burned in my heart. “Tell her that I don’t ever want to see her again.” Connor said, “She… is seriously ill this time. The doctor said she might be dying soon.”

I was stunned for a moment, but I still said, “Not only can I not save her, but I will also not sympathize with her. If it weren’t for the fact that she was about to die, I would have wanted to kill her.”

“This is indeed the case. She kidnapped Lucas and placed him in a room that had just been renovated, which was why Lucas got pneumonia, and later, it developed into leukemia.” Connor continued.

I thought for a moment and said, “She’s insane. You don’t have to bother with her. I just want my child to get better as soon as possible.”

“All right.” Connor nodded.

After standing there for another hour, I left the hospital. I sat in the back seat, while Connor was focused on driving. What happened at that time replayed again in my mind. I was forced to give up Bella because I was under the control of Caroline. I wanted to find Lucas first, and then cut off all ties with Caroline.

Then I would take the child to look fc-null and toll bar awandbine bort.
