It was ten at night, and when Avery saw the medical reports, she started shivering in excitement.


    "This is by far the best match we can find for Eric Santos. Though it''s not an exact match, there''s a high chance of sess," the doctor said.


    Avery swiftly regained herposure. "If sess is not guaranteed, I''m worried about theplications."From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ms. Tat― Never mind, I should call you Dr. Tate! Even if it is a perfect match, there is always the risk ofplications. You know Eric''s condition and dragging this on won''t do him any good. He''s already the patient who has been on the ECMO the longest time, and no one knows what will happen if he continues to be on it."


    Avery fell silent at the doctor''s words.


    "I will need to talk to his parents."


    "Call them and tell them toe here. We need their signatures to start the operation, anyway," the doctor said. Avery nodded.


    She walked out of the hospital and went into her car when she received a call from Hayden.


    Hayden had been staying with Avery, but since Avery''s mansion was rather far away from Dream Maker, Hayden would oftene homete at night.


    He was calling because he had returned home, and Avery was nowhere to be found.


    Hayden usually arrived home before eleven at night, and Avery would always wait for him to get home before going to sleep.


    Avery answered the call.


    "Mom, are you at the hospital?" Hayden asked. "Did something happen?"


    "They found a matching donor." Avery cut to the chase to put his mind at ease. "It''s great news."


    Hayden rxed. "Are you still at the hospital? Should I go over?"


    ?


    "It''s fine. I''m going back now," she said. "I need to tell Eric''s parents about this. There isn''t a hundred percent guarantee that this will work, so


    so I don''t know how to phrase

    "I can talk to them! There isn''t a doctor who can guarantee that the surgery will work. I''m sure they can understand that."


    "I will talk to them!" Avery said before ending the call.


    Since it was daytime in Aryadelle, Avery knew that she would not be waking Eric''s parents if she called now.


    Feeling thirsty, she grabbed a bottle


    of water and took a sip to regain herposure, before dialing Mr. Santos'' number. He answered the phone immediately.


    "Dr. Tate, did something happen to Eric?"


    "No. I''m calling you because the hospital has found a matching heart."


    After a few moments of silence, Mr. Santos started sobbing and chuckling at the same time. "That''s great! Does that mean that he can go into surgery right away? Will he wake up right away after that?"


    Just then, Avery heard footsteps on Mr. Santos'' end.
