Chapter 1384


    When we arrived, Pedro was pushing the wheelchair, about to take Anne for a check- up. Valerie


    looked at me and said, "Your dad mentioned that you have a way to find a matching bone marrow


    for Anne. Is it true? Don''t be rash. You’re pregnant now, so you have to take care of yourself first."


    She looked agitated. She must have thought that I intended to donate my own bone marrow to


    Anne. "Mom, don''t worry,” I said. "My tissue is not a match, neither is Hendrix''s. If we were matching


    donors, we needn''t have worried unnecessarily."


    Bewildered, she replied, "You''re right. So what’s your n?"


    I had not located the ce which Sebastian told me about yet. Plus, I was still wary of him. I would


    have to head over to Asherton by myself and check the veracity of his im. If there were no


    issues, I would get Hendrix to send Anne over.


    "Don''t worry about the bone marrow transnt. Anne will be going through some chemotherapy


    sessions in the days toe. Hendrix and I have been busy. We can only rely on you for looking


    after Anne."


    She sighed and nodded. "Sure, you can count on me," she said. “I know you have been busy. I


    have handed all Lawson Group'' s projects over to Sawyer. So I’ve got plenty of time at my disposal


    to look after Anne. Be sure to take care of yourself. Don''t overexert yourself, since you'' re


    pregnant."

    I wanted to ask about Sawyer but I held back. I reckoned that I should mind my own business for


    now.


    Half an hourter, Pedro brought Anne back to the ward. Not long after that, Anne fell asleep.


    Feeling tired and drowsy, Pedro leaned against the chair. Valerie went to find a nurse to ask what


    she had to do in the days toe.


    I took the time to chat with Pedro. As I handed him a ss of warm water, I asked, "Dad, how did


    you get to know about organ trading?"


    No one else was in the ward except the both of us. So I asked candidly. Pedro had been slumped


    against the chair, about to fall asleep. But as soon as he heard what I said, he was stunned. "Your


    mom told you, didn''t she?" he asked.


    I nodded. "Yeah, I know a thing or two," I said. "Dad, can you tell me more about it? Anne’s my


    daughter. I’m willing to fork out any amount of money, so long as it is legitimate. I won''t resort to


    anything illegal."


    He pursed his lips and lowered his head. "I have merely heard about it," he said. “I''m still trying to


    find out more. When I contacted them, they told me that as long as the offer is reasonable, they


    would be able to locate a suitable organ. I was told that if a child does not die of natural causes, his


    or her organs would be eligible for donation. So I thought perhaps we could locate a suitable organ


    for Anne through this market. Your mom has been worrying about me, but I know what I''m up to."


    I nodded and thought for a moment. "Dad, you should stay out of this matter," I said. "Let me head


    over to Asherton to ask around. I don''t think you should get involved, you''ll attract a lot of attention


    as you'' re a prominent figure. Besides that, in the unfortunate event that you''re caught, the Moore


    Family will be implicated. So, I should be the one to handle this matter."


    Pedro remained silent, appearing deep in thought. After that, he looked at me and said, "You''re


    right. It''s better if you were to handle this matter. I''ll get Sheridan toe back from Oand and


    apany you to Asherton. I''d be less worried if he is by your side."


    As I thought about Sheridan, I could not help but be curious. "Dad, what is Mr. Lawson to you? He


    doesn''t seem like an ordinary bodyguard, judging from his influence in Oand."
