chapter 1381
Nial pursed his lips. He understood the link and also knew that Faye''s condition was worsening.
Still, he shuddered at the thought of potentially risking Charmine’s life in exchange for Faye''s!
Nial shook his head and insisted, "Charmine, you can''t do that. Anyone can give her the kidney but
you!" "It’s just one kidney," retorted Charmine earnestly. "Many donors carried on with their lives just
fine. I can only marry your brother and stand in the public eye with him only when everything is settled!"
"Still a no."
Nial did not even hesitate. "The wedding can be postponed, but you still can’t donate your kidney!"
"While the wedding can be postponed, Faye and Frank''s health can''t be put on hold any longer, can it
now?" challenged Charmine as she looked at him. "Do you know how severe this matter is?"
The guilt would torment her if they both died, especially since Frank came to her rescue today.
Nial nodded. "I know, but this doesn''t warrant you getting hurt for it!
Charmine, stop trying to convince me. I won''t allow it no matter what.”
Nial''s tone was decisive.
Charmine looked at him with her brows furrowed.
This was difficult.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she reached up to unbutton a few of her buttons, much to Nial''s
horror as he quickly turned around.
"What are you doing, Charmine?!" he yelped anxiously.
How could she remove her clothes in front of him?!
Charmine dered, "If you don''t say yes to me, I''ll go and tell your brother that you’re taking advantage
of me!" 2
Nial’s body stiffened, his face turning red and anxious. "What nonsense, Charmine! Since when have I
taken advantage of you?"
Charmine did not seem to mind his argument. "If I go out and tell your brother, do you think he''ll trust
you or me?" "You... You...” Nial was so agitated that his face turned red, at aplete loss for words.
Charmine said, "Do you agree with me? Otherwise, I’ll find your brother right now!" "Wait, wait!" Nial
stopped her urgently.
If she went ahead to tell his brother, he would not live long enough to see tomorrow''s sunrise!
"Don''t worry, I won''t let your brother know about this," assured Charmine." Even if he finds out, I’ll take
full responsibility. I won’t me it on you.”
Nial sighed heavily. "Do you really have to?” "Yes. You know well about Faye and Frank''s conditions.
There''s no other way."
Nial hesitated for a moment before he feebly conceded, "Fine, I’ll agree to it."
Charmine smiled as she nonchntly buttoned up. "You may turn around now."
Nial turned over cautiously, adding, "I''ll arrange for the operation in the afternoon, then?”
How would he distract his brother?
Charmine thought for a moment. ’Tomorrow, then. Have everything arranged today."
Nial agreed and felt unusually heavy.
He would have to remove Charmine''s kidney behind Anthony’s back tomorrow?
How stressful!
Charmine red at him and stressed on the matter, "Remember: don''t let your brother find out about
this. If he asks, just tell him that you''ve found a highlypatible kidney."
Nial nodded. "Don''t worry. I know."
She even threatened him by unbuttoning her shirt. He wanted to live long enough to see tomorrow’s
sunrise!
Charmine made sure he did not tell anyone about this before leaving his office.
Leaning back on his chair, Nial gazed at his tightly shut door with burdensome thoughts haunting him...

Charmine went to the research room, Anthony being its only upant. Guy and Yvonne had gone
home.
Hearing footsteps, Anthony looked up, his steely gaze softening when he realized it was Charmine.
"You woke up?" "Yeah."
Charmine walked over to sit beside him, studying him up-close.
Noticing that his gorgeous face looked worn-out, Charmine felt hurt. She held onto his arm and said,
"Anthony, let''s go home." "Hmm?"
Anthony looked at her suspiciously.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Was she not worried about Frank? There was no breakthrough yet, so why would she ask him to go
home?
It was very much unlike her.
