    Chapter 417 Kidney Failure


    She didn’t want to be blind any longer since it would lead to moreplications as time went on.


    First and foremost, Sonia had to worry about Paradigm. Asher had always eyed for a chance to snatch


    half of the management rights she held. If she didn’t show up for work at Paradigm Co. for a long while,


    he would definitely seize the chance and persuade those under her before causing all sorts of trouble for


    her.


    Secondly, Titus was another cause of her worries. Even though she tried her hardest to mask the fact


    that she couldn’t see, he would soon discover that she was blind if he used some effort to investigate it.


    Although Toby had done his part by giving his fair share of warning and Titus wouldn’t do anything in


    broad daylight, he probably could pull his little assaults in the dark without Toby being made aware of it.


    So, it was a necessity for her to regain her eyesight as soon as possible for both Paradigm Co. and her


    own sake.


    Since Tim was well-versed with psychology, he could guess what Sonia thought when he saw her


    anxious behavior. He patted her shoulder lightly in assurance. “Don’t worry, you haven’t recovered your


    vision because the blood clot in your brain hasn’tpletely disappeared yet. The blood clot wasn’t


    extremelyrge when we checked thest time, so I guess it’ll dissipate soon enough. Judging by the


    time needed, you’ll probably recover in a few days.”


    Upon hearing that, she sighed in relief. “That’s good to know.”

    “Other than your loss of sight, is there anywhere that feels wrong? What about the dizziness you


    mentioned?” He leaned against his desk as he asked.


    She shook her head. “It’s gone now.”


    “Okay, got it. So, I don’t have to prescribe medicine for that,” he spoke while fiddling with his scalpel.


    Sonia stood up from the couch. “Thank you for the session. I’ll be leaving now.”


    Wanda approached Sonia to help her into the wheelchair.


    Tim rose to his full height as well. “I’ll see you off to the elevators.”


    The three walked out of the office and headed for the elevators.


    They had just arrived when Wanda suddenly gasped.


    A confused Sonia turned around. “What’s the matter, Wanda?”


    “I saw Titus and his wife walking out from the nephrology department to the elevator over there. They


    don’t look too good, especially Mrs. Gray. Her eyes are red as if she has been crying,” Wanda answered


    as she looked in front.


    In response, Sonia raised an eyebrow. “Nephrology? What are they doing there?” There’s even crying


    involved. A single fall couldn’t have such damage to the waist, can it? That’s weird. The bones would


    usually be hurt from that kind of fall and the organs won’t be affected whatsoever.


    “If you’re so curious, I can just ask for information. Don’t forget, this is my hospital,” Tim chuckled slightly


    as he pushed his sses. Then, he walked toward the nephrology department.


    Wanda looked at Sonia. “Miss Reed, Dr. Lancaster has headed there. Should we follow him or leave?”


    “It’s bad manners to leave just like that. Let’s wait here then,” Sonia replied after she thought for a while.


    After Wanda nodded, she didn’t say anything else. Her hands were still on the wheelchair handles while


    she waited with Sonia.


    After about 5 minutes or so, Tim returned to them.


    Upon receiving Wanda’s prompt, Sonia opened her mouth to ask, “How is it?”


    “There’s a problem with Titus’ kidneys,” Tim replied while pushing his sses once again.


    A surprised Sonia asked, “Kidney problems? It’s not because of the fall, is it?”


    “No.” He shook his head. “The doctor exined that Titus is suffering from slight kidney failure.”


    “Kidney failure?!” She eximed, “He’s suffering from kidney failure?”


    “That’s correct.” Tim nodded. “I had a brief look at Titus’ medical records and found that he suffers from


    congenital necrospermia, which means that his kidneys were already problematic from the start. Now, it’s


    showing signs of failure as the organs are rapidly deteriorating.”


    “So, if this continues, he’ll have to undergo a kidney transnt?” Sonia asked.


    He shrugged. “More or less, but it wouldn’t change much even if he did because both kidneys need to be


    reced. Kidneys are hard toe by as it is and you’d be lucky enough to secure just one. It’s highly


    improbable to have two suitable kidneys avable.”


    “I heard that people can survive with one kidney, though. Won’t it help to just transnt one?” She


    cocked her head and asked again.


    Tim yed with the scalpel in his hand for the second time. “That’s true, at least for a healthy person.


    You can survive with one kidney, but your body will grow weaker. You’ll just be barely surviving by that


    point. Titus, however, is different. He cannot live with just one kidney.”


    “Why not?” Sonia blinked.


    He exined, “Because of his old age, his body isn’t in good condition. He has various aches and pains


    on top of heart issues. So, one kidney won’t be able to handle all the processes going on in his body.


    Also, even if he receives a new kidney, there’s a high possibility of kidney failure. If he’s lucky to have


    both his kidneys reced, the same thing will happen again.”


    It was at that moment when Sonia understood and she moved her red lips. “So, in short, Titus only has


    death waiting for him. A kidney transnt would only dy it a little longer.”


    “That’s correct.” Tim nodded.


    She gave a dry smile. “What good news! He deserved it!”


    Titus had forced her father to death and now he himself was suffering from kidney failure. If it wasn’t


    retribution, she didn’t know what it was.


    “How long does he have, Tim?” Sonia probed as she sped her hands together.


    White light reflected off Tim’s sses as he answered, “If he doesn’t undergo kidney transnt, he


    would have a year or so left, judging by the rate it’s going. Probably not more than 10 years if he


    reces his kidneys.”


    “Hah! Great!” She smiled. “This is retribution!”


    Upon seeing how happy Sonia was to have known about Titus’ kidney failure, Wanda leered as she


    reminded her, “Please don’t put it like that, Miss Reed!”


    Wanda also thought that Titus deserved it, but no matter what, he was still Sonia’s biological father. As


    his daughter, even if she hated him to the bone, it was uncalled for to hear her say that her father


    deserved it.


    Of course, if Titus weren’t Sonia’s biological father, Wanda wouldn’t have such thoughts.


    So, Sonia frowned when she heard Wanda’s words. “Wanda, is there anything wrong with me saying


    things like that?” Whose side is she on? Why is she standing up for Titus? Or, does she think that I


    shouldn’t say that about him?


    Wanda could see that Sonia was upset and she also realized that she said too much. She quickly


    exined, “It’s nothing; I just thought that you shouldn’t rub salt into people’s wounds when they are


    suffering.”


    “I don’t think I’m rubbing salt in his wound, though. Even if I did, I don’t think I’m in the wrong here. Titus


    is my enemy, so shouldn’t I be d that my enemy is down? I can’t just bepassionate and forget


    about my hatred, can I? I’m not that nice and I’ve never been a kind person from the start,” a stoic Sonia


    cooly borated.


    The hatred of the entire Reed Family rested upon her and she could barely catch a breath under the


    weight of it. Revenge became her sole reason to live, but so much time had passed without any


    progress, which started to make her panic. The anxiety was so great that she was close to being driven


    mad.


    Now that she finally learnt that her enemy was critically ill, shouldn’t she be happy then?


    Knowing that Sonia was upset with her, Wanda quickly apologized, “I’m terribly sorry, Miss Reed. I


    shouldn’t have said those words.”


    Sonia rubbed the spot between her eyebrows. “It’s fine. Just don’t do it again.”


    After all, she would recover her eyesight in a few days and Wanda could head back to the housekeeping


    company by then.


    “We’ll take our leave now, Tim.” Sonia rested her hand on the armrest and spoke to Tim.


    He nodded. “Take care.”


    “Yeah.” She sounded a reply as Wanda took her into the elevator.


    As he watched the elevator doors close, he took out his phone and made a call. He proceeded to say in


    a dark voice, “Keep an eye on the organ database. If you find any suitable kidneys for Titus Gray,


    immediately block them!”
