Chapter 12


    Esther’s phone rang in the ward. She looked at the anonymous number and answered it without


    hesitation. “Hello?” It was an incredibly sweet voice on the other end of the line. “Hello. Is this Ms.


    Esther Quill?” “Yes. Who’s speaking?” “Hi, I’m a hematology doctor at People’s Hospital. ording to


    the result of your first test for bone marrow donation with us, you’re preliminarily confirmed to match


    one of our patients. Pleasee to the hospital for a second, moreprehensive test as soon as you


    can…” “Okay, okay. I’ll be right there.” When Esther heard that it was a call from People’s Hospital and


    was informed that her bone marrow was a match, she naturally assumed that she could donate it to


    Tinkerbell. She stood up in joy and quickly got changed to go to the hospital for the second test. Esther


    went to the balcony, only to discover that a female bodyguard was sitting on the first floor’s garden.


    “Ms. Quill?” The bodyguard greeted Esther when she saw her on the balcony. At the same time, she


    pressed the emergency contact on her phone. Esther knew that the balcony would not work and


    hurried to the door. Before she could open it, the female bodyguard entered. “Ms. Quill, can I help you


    with anything?” Esther thought about it and chose to be honest. “I want to go to People’s Hospital. I just


    received a call from them saying that the result of my first test matches one of their patients…” The


    bodyguard patiently listened to her but mercilessly rejected her request to leave. “Ms. Quill, I’m sorry.


    Without Mr. Warner’s order, you cannot leave this room.” Once Esther thought of how Tinkerbell was


    still waiting for her bone marrow transnt, she quickly said, “I understand that this is your job. Don’t


    worry. I won’t run away. If you’re worried, you can follow me. I promise—” “Ms. Quill, please don’t make


    things difficult for me.” Esther using Felix to leave the hospital previously had caused the bodyguard to


    be punished. This time, she would not give Esther any chance to leave the hospital. “Alright, I


    understand.” Esther sat back down on the bed helplessly. The bodyguard replied politely, “I’ll leave you


    to rest then. Good night, Ms. Quill.” After she left, Esther took out Pixie and Tinkerbell’s photo. She


    stared at it for a moment and took a deep breath, deciding to call Jasper. “Jasper, it’s me.” Jasper woke


    up from sleep groggily. His voice was a sleepy drawl. “Esther? What’s up?” “Jasper, People’s Hospital


    called me just now saying that the result of my first test shows my bone marrow matches a patient. This


    means that my bone marrow is definitelypatible with Tinkerbell. I thought I’d go to the hospital now


    for the second round of tests, but I’m trapped here because of Bradley. I can’t go anywhere. Can you


    help me leave?” Jasper replied, “Let me figure something out. Wait for my update.” “Thank you,


    Jasper.” Esther was no longer sleepy after ending the call. She could not help imagining the pleasant


    daily life after she reunited with her daughters. She would look for a house. It did not have to be huge.


    Just four rooms would be enough. Her daughters would have a room each, and the extra one would be


    turned into a study room. She would make the house feel homey and warm. If her daughters liked


    ying the piano, she would buy a piano. She would turn the living room into a practice room if they


    liked dancing. She would make plenty of delicious meals and feed them well. She would also learn how


    to tailor to make them unique dresses. She would also learn how to braid hair and give them different


    hairstyles daily. Esther would dote on them till they were the happiest little princesses in the world. In


    the same hospital… Felix was still in emergency care as all his data did not do well. Not only were the


    doctors on duty there, but even those on leave and the pediatric experts from People’s Hospital and


    experts from other cities had all rushed over. Despite the countless experts, they came to the same


    conclusion after their diagnoses. Felix’s current state could only be helped with a bone marrow

    transnt—the sooner, the better. If it happened toote and his organs began to deteriorate, the


    transnt could not save him either. After Bradley listened to the experts’ opinions, he questioned with


    a glower, “When can Esther’s second test resulte out?” A doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead


    and stammered, “One more hour.” Bradley took a deep breath. His eyes were deadly and icy. “Get the


    operation ward ready now. Carry out the surgery as soon as the result’s out.” All of Bradley’s hope was


    in Esther’s second test result. What if the result turned out not to be ideal? “Cole.” Bradley’s assistant,


    Cole, responded. “Mr. Warner.” “Update the reward online. As long as they’re willing to sign and


    be a bone marrow donor, pay them $1,500 each. $15,000 for those who did the first round of tests


    and $150,000 for those who did the second round. Once the test turns out to be a match, they’ll be


    rewarded with $15,000,000 in cash and provided with a permanent position in the Warner Group with


    an annual sry of $150,000 after taxes and a bonus package equivalent to that of thepany’s GM


    level.” “I’ll publish it now,” replied Cole. Bradley’s hands balled into fists, and the veins on his forehead


    popped. He exuded an aura of coldness. No matter the price, he would save Felix. Cole was efficient.


    Jasper saw the information online right away. He did not browse theizens’ments but called


    Esther. “Esther, I saw Bradley raising the reward money online just now. Do you know what this


    means? It means that his son’s condition has worsened. He probably won’t let you out of the hospital


    now.” Esther could barely breathe upon learning that Felix’s condition had worsened. She put a hand


    over a chest and rubbed the unreasonable pain and suffocation away. “Jasper, pick me up first. I want


    to do the second test in the hospital. If the result is a match, I can donate to Felix and then Tinkerbell.”


    Jasper was taken aback and asked in concern, “Do you think bone marrow donation is as simple as


    blood donation? Given your current state, how could you possibly go through two bone marrow


    transnt surgeries within a short time?” “Jasper, Felix’s a child. It’s not his fault that Liliane’s his


    mother,” Esther said self-deprecatingly. “Besides, no one can be sure that my bone marrow is


    Esther and received a call from Sunflower Welfare’s director, Cam. “Mr. Searle, I’m Jenner from


    Sunflower Welfare.” Cam sounded agonized. “I have bad news for you!”
