Chapter 1532


    Elijah and Kasey stood outside their daughter’s hospital room, gazing at her. N used to be full of life,


    but now she was frail and weak. Their hearts ached terribly like they had been crushed.


    A doctor approached with thetest test results.


    Kasey couldn’t find the strength to look up, and Elijah hesitated but finally asked, “What do the results


    say?”


    The doctor sadly shook his head.


    Elijah clenched his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. Over the past few months, they had reached out to


    every possible rtive, including the Chriss and Patton families, forpatibility tests, but none had


    matched. Thetest test involved a distant Chriss rtive.


    Elijah leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in pain while Kasey covered her face and wept.


    The doctor sighed and tried to console them, saying, “Ms. N’s condition is currently stable. We can


    keep searching in the bone marrow registry, but it may take time.”


    “What if we have another child?” Elijah suddenly asked. “I’ve heard that stem cells from a newborn


    can…”


    “That’s possible, and there have been sessful cases,” the doctor replied. “But the reproductive cycle


    is long. You’d need about three months to prepare for pregnancy, and even if it goes smoothly, the


    gestation period is nine months. In such a long time, there’s no guarantee that nothing else will go


    wrong.”


    “I can’t bear to see our daughter deteriorate like this!” Elijah eximed, sounding helpless and


    desperate.


    However, Kasey had an idea. “Elijah, there’s still one person…”


    “Oh?” The doctor was surprised. “Is there a family member who hasn’t been tested yet?”


    “Yes!” Kasey seized the lifeline, but just as she was about to say the name, Elijah stopped her. His


    eyes betrayed fear and disbelief.


    “Elijah!” Kasey was nearly desperate. “Is our daughter’s life more important, or—”


    “Stop!”


    Sensing the tension, the doctor tactfully decided to leave.


    Elijah and Kasey sat on a bench in the corridor, the atmosphere heavy and cold.


    After a while, Kasey looked at him calmly. “Have you ever considered finding your brother?”


    Elijah lowered his head and stayed silent.


    “Elijah, please! I’m begging you!” Kasey’s voice trembled. “Yes, he’s an illegitimate child, and his


    presence might threaten you… But Elijah, he’s our hope to save N right now!”


    “Enough!” Elijah’s mind was in turmoil.


    He wanted to save their daughter. The brother Kasey mentioned was actually his younger sister, but he


    had no idea where or how to search for her.


    Even if they did find her, would she be willing to help? The Chrisses had abandoned her for years.


    Would she donate her bone marrow?


    Elijah’s head throbbed, and he rubbed his temples vigorously.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    “Let’s consider other options,” he weakly suggested. “The doctor mentioned we can still search in the


    bone marrow registry—”


    “But the highest chance ofpatibility is among rtives!”


    “We are N’s biological parents and are not a match. Let alone an illegitimate child!”


    “Elijah!” Kasey screamed in despair, covering her face as she sobbed uncontrobly.


    Elijah felt sad. Kasey had always been a strong woman in his eyes, and seeing her so fragile was


    heartbreaking. He gently approached and embraced her, letting her lean on him for support.
