Chapter 423
Even After Death
Avery didnât want to take Oliviaâs kidney if it was possible.
The strange thing was that Avery had spent a lot of money and connections in the past few find a
suitable kidney, but to no avail.
He had already lost hope, but then Olivia turned out to be a match.
years to
His kidney failure was in its late stages. He survived off dialysis, but if his condition worsened, he would
die.
That was why Avery could not afford to turn down a healthy kidney.
He was the eldest son of the family. He had to be responsible for the future of the family.
The only choice he had was to go through with the transplant.
Avery felt terrible when he saw Oliviaâs pale face.
âOlivia, I wonât hold it against you if you donât want to do it anymore. I can still look for another kidney.â
Olivia shook her head and said, âMr. Avery, I am prepared to go through with it.â
She knew she couldnât impose on Avery any longer. They werenât even relatives. The only thing she
had that could be of use to Avery was her kidney.
After all, one of her arms was useless, and she had cancer. She didnât even know how long she had to
live.
Olivia was content that she could help Avery out before she died.
âYou donât have to worry about me. Iâm an adult, and I know what Iâm doing. I can be responsible for my
own life.
âLetâs stop delaying the transplant. You still have work to get to, and you havenât found your sister. You
shouldnât waste your time here.â
Avery sighed and said, âYouâre the most considerate person Iâve ever met. If only you were my sister.â
âSadly, I do not have the luck to have a brother like you, Mr. Avery.â
Olivia didnât even dare imagine what it would be like.
Olivia quickly got on the operating table as Averyâs professional kidney transplant team was getting
ready.
She was actually afraid of the operating table. The bright lights would remind her of the day she lost
her child.
Olivia was sure that she wouldnât be able to have kids of her own anymore.
She closed her eyes and said calmly, âMy body has antibodies against anesthesia, so you donât have to
give me any.â
The anesthetist was stunned. âNo anesthesia? Are you planning to endure the pain, Ms. Fordham?â
âItâs fine. Iâm prepared for it.â Olivia was no stranger to pain.
The anesthetist saw her commitment and replied sheepishly, âOkayâ¦â
He had never seen a woman so brave. She wasnât afraid of doing surgery without anesthesia.
Olivia was calm as she listened to the machine whirring into life. She began to wonder if she would
ever find her birth parents.
Where would they be if they were still alive? Did she have any siblings? What kind of woman was her
mother? Was she missing her too?
The thoughts filled Olivia with strength. She canât die yet. She had to live. She had to fight for her life.
Olivia decided that she wanted to meet her birth parents once before she died.
She started to feel the pressure when the doctors surrounded her.
âMs. Fordham, weâre starting the surgery. Rest assured. Weâre professionals, and weâll patch you back
up in the shortest time possible.â
âOkay.â
Olivia thought she would no longer fear the pain. But when the scalpel cut into her skin, she realized a
battered body would still feel pain.
âBear with it for a little, Ms. Fordham.â
âGo ahead. Do it!â Olivia was in so much pain her voice was shrill.
Suddenly, a loud explosion can be heard. It shook the island, and the doctors stopped what they were
doing.
Olivia quickly said, âDonât stop! Get on with it!â
