Chapter 22 A Cruel Father
“The patient is no longer in danger now!”
James Floss removed his mask and said, “Once the anesthesia wears off, she should be awake soon, but she has to be on bed rest. It’s best if she is in a happy state now so that her body’s immunity can be strengthened. This should be able to stop the disease from relapsing.”
After hearing so, Emilia smiled. As long as her daughter was fine, everything that she did before would be worth it!
Oliver Walker let out a breath of relief as well. Everything was fine as long as she was safe now!
“But…”
Soon, there was another turning point, “The patient shouldn’t wait any longer. We’ll have to arrange for another surgery.
“I already settled the arrangements to get a matching bone marrow donor. We should be able to get the results soon.”
Dialysis itself would not be able to cure leukemia.
The most critical part here would be to find a compatible bone marrow, or else, the rest would be nothing but a waste.
“Thank you, Mr. Floss!” .
Then, Oliver Walker spoke instead, “There’s no need for the bone marrow.
“If we do another surgery, it would further injure Olivia’s inner ‘Qi’.”
They weren’t on such an urgent timeline now.
He would get one of his apprentices to get here soon so that they could treat his daughter with Chinese traditional medicine.
If he didn’t get injured 4 years ago, there would be no need for them to be in the hospital now.
“But…”
James Floss frowned as he said, “The patient is already in a terminal stage. If we don’t arrange for the surgery, it could cost her life!
“Plus, she’s extremely weak now, and it’s not suitable for her to be moved to another hospital.”
If it was anyone else, he wouldn’t say a word.
But, this man?
He was the VIP who got Leon Williams so worked up. If anything were to happen to Olivia, the consequences would not be that simple.
He didn’t think that it was because Oliver Walker couldn’t afford it since Leon Williams already mentioned that he would be paying for it.
It was obvious that this man had his own plans, and it was most likely that he didn’t trust the doctors at Colorado’s First Hospital.
“ENOUGH!”
Emilia screamed, “If you can’t afford it, I can!
“Even if it cost me everything, I would be willing to do so! She is my daughter, and this has nothing to do with you!”
She knew it! She knew that she could not depend on this man.
He clearly wanted them to give up on the treatment, and he was giving such excuses!
This was their daughter….No! This was her daughter!
Her life and her inner ‘Qi’? What was more important was a no-brainer!
Her eyes were filled with hatred!
“That’s not what I meant!”
Oliver Walker knew that his wife had misunderstood him, and he quickly tried to explain, “What I meant was…”
Emilia stopped him.
“I don’t want to hear your explanation. I don’t mind that you have been gone for the last eight years without sending a single message home.
“But, I didn’t think that you would give up on your daughter’s life!
“Are you still human?!
“My mother was right. You are a cruel man!
“I will never forgive you!
“I will never allow Olivia to forgive you her entire life!
“You don’t deserve it!”
Emilia was extremely angry with Oliver Walker because she had high expectations of him!
She waited for him for eight long years. How much did she suffer all these years?!
But….what did she get in return?
She got a cold, irresponsible response. Was this a punishment from God?
“I…”
Oliver Walker did not want the misunderstanding to get any further. He wanted to explain himself.
However, Emilia has already lost her patience and coldly pushed the man away.
She turned around and said, “Mr. Floss, please save her!
“No matter how much it costs, I want to save Olivia!
“As for the money…..I’ll get them as soon as possible!
“Please trust me. Please find her a donor as soon as possible so that we don’t waste any precious time!”
She had already lost it!
Although she didn’t have the money now, she would think of something soon.
As for Oliver Walker, she had already lost hope in him.
