Chapter 1408


    She looked up at me and said, "I had never seen him before, but I knew that he was the one who


    deceived my father. He threatened my father with this incident. At first, my father brought that girl


    home because she had apatible heart to treat my illness. The girl was the same age as me. He


    told my father that I could have the operation after the girl died. My father agreed because he


    thought she had an incurable illness. However, my condition was deteriorating quickly and I couldn''t


    hold on for any longer. So, he told him the truth and then suddenly raised the price. Originally, he


    only asked for three million dors, but in the end, he asked for ten times more. My father had no


    choice but to embezzle thepany''s fund, which is why he ended up in prison. It was all


    Sebastian''s fault. He''s not a good person, so you really have to be careful of him!"


    I froze after hearing that. Then, I looked at her and asked, "Is that child really dead?"


    She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes red. She nodded and replied, "Yes, my father said that he


    buried her, but..."


    The remainder of her sentence was suppressed by her sobs.


    I didn''t continue asking. Did the children who never returned to their vige end up like this too?


    Wendy''s words made me realize that what Sebastian was going to do might not be as simple as I


    thought. Thinking of this, I called Bobbie after I walked out of the ward.


    He picked up the phone very soon and said in a hoarse and crude voice, "Hello, what''s the matter?"


    "Abby''s examination results are out. I have a few questions, if we would like to proceed with the


    operation, she must have an ID card and birth registration, as well as her parents'' signatures. How


    are you going to take care of these?" Wendy told me that illegal surgeries couldn''t be done in the


    hospital, so I wondered how they intended to get around this.


    He paused for a moment and said, "You don''t have to worry about these. Once you agree to do the


    operation and the price is reasonable, we will make all the necessary arrangements for you."


    We hadn''t discussed the price until now. I asked him, "How much do you charge?"


    After a moment of silence, he said, "Well include the operation costs, the doctor, the medication


    needed and payment to the child''s parents in the price. I think it''s better if we could set a time and


    date for a meeting to talk about it. I think you''d prefer talking about such an important matter face-


    to-face, right?"

    "Okay, you set the time and location!" I said in anguish. It seemed that they had a specific system. If


    my suspicions were right, they had more than one source of "goods" other than the vige we


    visited.


    After hanging up the phone, I went back to Anne''s ward. Anne had just woken up. Perhaps, it was


    because it had been a long time since she met a child of the same age, so she was chattering away


    with Abby.


    Valerie was reading a proposal. Although she had entrusted most of thepany''s affairs to


    Sawyer, he was still a young man after all. Therefore, he still needed Valerie''s guidance and advice


    on many things.


    Seeing that Pedro wasn''t around, I asked, "Mom, where''s Dad?"


    She replied while reading the documents, "He went to see a friend. By the way, before he left, he


    wanted me to ask you how did you find that child? She seems to be a perfectly healthy girl. It


    doesn''t look like she came from an orphanage at all."
