Chapter 447 Do Your Best in Finding One Caroline glanced at the operating theater after ending the call. An uneasy feeling gnawed at her chest as if something terrible would happen. She battled the sense of suffocation, wondering. âAm I just too nervous?â
Taking slow, deep breaths, she waited for Lily.
The minutes ticked by, stretching into what felt like hours.
Finally, Scott hurried over to her. He approached swiftly as soon as he spotted Caroline. She looked up, greeted him, and rose from her seat. âYouâre here,â she said.
Scott handed her a cup of her favorite flat white coffee. âThis should help you relax,â he said âThank you,â Caroline replied, accepting the coffee. They sat together, glancing nervously at the illuminated sign above the operating theater Scott asked. âHow much time has passed?â
Caroline checked her watch. âAlmost 20 minutes.â
Scott reassured her, âCraniotomies take time. Evanâs team consists of specialists from abroad.
Everything will be okay.â
Caroline tried to ease her anxiety but still felt uneasy. âIâm probably overthinking it.â
Scott comforted her, âItâs natural to feel this way when someone close is undergoing surgery.â
Downstairs, Richie emerged from the emergency cy room Evan and Alex rushed forward, eager for an update.
âHowâs he doing?â Evan asked, his tone icy Richie hesitated, then disclosed, âMr. Jordan, his condition is quite serious. We need to conduct further examinationsâ
Evanâs anger flared. Tell us the truth!â
Richie hesitated again before delivering the grim news. âThe preliminary diagnosis is acute âLeukemia?â Alex exclaimed Evanâs world seemed to spin as he processed the devastating diagnosis. âAcute leukemia?â
Richie sighed, recognizing the distress in Evanâs expression. âIt appears Mr. Jordan Jr. has been experiencing symptoms for some time. Have you noticed his nosebleeds, body aches, low spirits, and reduced appetite?â
Evan was stunned. I⦠I think so. I did notice he was moving slowly.â
Richie spoke in a blaming tone. âHe canât walk fast when his body aches.â
Evan felt a crushing weight on his chest. He had never witnessed Axelâs nosebleeds or realized how long his son had suffered. He had assumed Axelâs symptoms were due to his longing to see Caroline.
Evanâs eyes reddened. âHow could I have been so blind to my own sonâs pain?
Alex could see the answer written on Evanâs face. He turned to Richie and urged, âPlease conduct the necessary tests promptly and initiate treatment.â
Richie explained, âThereâs a 60% chance that a bone marrow transplant for stem cell production will be requiredâ
âFind a donor then! Locate a suitable one as quickly as possible, regardless of the cost!â Evan demanded, his anger boiling over.
Richie began. âMr. Jordan, the suitable donor-â
âEnough with excuses! Just do your best to find one!â Alex interrupted firmly.
Daniella was hidden in the corner of the emergency room and had overheard their conversation.
She had already dispatched Hector, or rather Casey, to search for a donor. Now, she saw an opportunity to get closer to Evan under the pretext of the bone marrow donation.
She tucked her hair behind her ear with a smug smile, wondering if Evan had noticed her earlier performance.
