Avery tapped La on the shoulder. "Let''s go out!"


    La remained frozen in ce and could not hear a word that she was saying, so Avery took her hand and pulled her out of the intensive care ward before helping La remove her protective equipment.


    "Don''t cry, La. He will get better," Avery said. "This is just temporary. Once he gets the surgery he needs, he won''t have to rely on the machines."


    La threw herself into her mother''s arms and broke down in tears. "Mom, you have to save him... There''s still so much that I need to say to him..."


    "I know." Avery ran her hand down La''s back. "He has done our family a great favor, and we are all grateful, so we are doing whatever it takes to find a matching donor... Once we find one, Eric will get better."


    "How can we speed up the process, Mom?" La desperately wanted to help, no matter the cost.


    "La, I know that you are anxious. So am I, but you don''te across a matching donor with just money. We are already searching around the world. Just be patient... Your dad and I will do whatever it takes The hospital receives new donor organs every day, and once there is a match, I will inform you right away."


    La regained herposure slightly at Avery''s words.


    "Mom, can he feel pain?" La wiped away her tears.


    "He is unconscious, so he won''t feel anything."


    "Isn''t it dangerous for him to be unconscious for so long?" La was concerned that he would be in pain if he was conscious but was also scared that he would remain unconscious for the rest of his life.


    "He will get better once he has the surgery. La, go home! Everything is under our control now, and you are only going to worry if you stay here. I will stay until he recovers from the surgery." "Thank you, Mom."


    "This is hardly enough payment for what he had done for you. Go and see his parents when you get back Your Dad and I called them, and though they wanted toe over, I told them not toe until the surgery was done."


    "Yeah. I am going back to Aryadelle because I want to apologize to them."


    Avery wiped away La''s tears. "Don''t beat yourself up over it. I know that you would have done everything in your power to save him if you could. You both love one another."


    Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, ever since winter arrived, Ivy had started staying in her own apartment more frequently because of the weather and also because she needed to catch up with the curriculum she had missed.


    One day after ss, a girl came to talk to Ivy.


    "Ivy, you have an apartment outside campus, right? It''s no wonder you don''t stay in the dorm!"


    Ivy studied the person before her and recognized that she was one of her ssmates. They had the same major but were in different sses.


    "How do you know?" Ivy put her books back into her bag, and the girl followed her out of the ssroom.


    "It''s quite a coincidence... The tutorRêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

    you hired is actually my aunt." The girl smiled kindly at Ivy. "My aunt came to my house for dinnerst night but waste. She said that there was a student from my university who had hired her tutor, and I was curious as was working that hard, so asked her about it. She refused to tell me anything, saying that it was a secret. I only overheard your name when my uncle asked her about it."


    Ivy smiled sheepishly. "I called in sick for some time, and I''m kind of falling behind, so I asked our lecturer to refer me to your aunt. The lecturer said your aunt specializes in tutoring students who take this major."
