Chapter 559
Esther’s panic-filled gaze fixed upon the elderly couple before her. She urgently questioned, “Who are
you? I don’t know you! Please, leave!”
Tears welled up in the eyes of the elderly pair. Samantha Maltby, the elderlydy, threw herself before
Esther, clutching the hem of her pants with a desperate grip. She sobbed. “Miss, your liver can save my
daughter. I beg you, please save her!”
Esther stood in shock, finallyprehending their intent. They were seeking her liver. Yet, she couldn’t
imagine how this couple had knowledge of the confidential matching process.
“Please, stop crying,” Esther implored, guiding Samantha to sit on the couch.
Samantha’s grasp remained unyielding, her frail hands gripping Esther’s own with surprising strength.
“Miss, you seem like a kind soul. I beg you, please save my daughter,” Samantha pleaded, her voice
trembling with emotion. “My daughter’s life has been a relentless struggle. If you refuse, she’ll have no
way out.”
Samantha’s tears felt like they were seeping into Esther’s heart. As a mother herself, Esther could
empathize with the depths of a mother’s willingness to sacrifice everything for her child.
“Your daughter?” Esther asked.
Michael Ludington, the elderly man, held Samantha by her shoulders, his eyes brimming with tears.
“Late stage liver cancer.”
“Miss, we overheard some doctors and nurses talking, and that’s how we discovered that your liver
matches our daughter. We approached you in secret. It might seem hical, like we’re pressuringThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
you, but Miss, you’re a mother too. Can you grasp our desperation?”
Samantha’s tears continued to flow.
Supporting Samantha, Michael continued his plea. “My daughter’s life has been fraught with hardship.
She fell in love with a man in college. They married right after graduation and had a child. But… that
man cheated on her and fathered a child with another woman. He disdained my daughter for giving
birth to a girl and coerced her into a divorce.
“My daughter resisted, and he resorted to violence,nding her in the hospital and traumatizing our
granddaughter, who remains timid and fearful to this day. Later, my daughter received the grim
diagnosis of liver cancer, and that man brought his lover and son into their home, exerting immense
pressure on my daughter to divorce.”
Esther took a deep breath and spoke softly. “I’m unsure if my liver is suitable for your daughter. Let me
consult the doctor. If my liver is indeed a match, I will willingly donate it to save her.”
Esther was prepared to help from a mother’s perspective. She also held hope that someone would
extend the same kindness to Bradley, a patient she cared for.
The elderly couple was overwhelmed with gratitude and immediately knelt before Esther once more.
“Thank you, thank you.”
“You’re a good person, and you’ll surely be rewarded.”
Tired and drained, Esther sent the elderly couple away and immediately called Kevin. She quickly
exined the situation: The elderly couple desperately sought her help for a liver donation.
Kevin’s reaction was nothing short of astonishment.
“Esther, are you serious? Donating your liver to Bradley is one thing, but giving it toplete
strangers? Are you thinking of risking your life?”
Kevin’s words hit Esther hard.
Esther replied, her voice filled with a sense of helplessness, “Kevin, you can’t imagine the agony that
elderly couple is going through. Their only daughter has liver cancer, and it turns out my liver is a
perfect match. How can I refuse to save her?”
Kevin, now seething with anger, clenched his teeth. “What’s happening at the hospital? Patient
information is supposed to be kept confidential. How did they find out your liver is a match for their
daughter? And how did they even locate your hospital room?”
Kevin believed Esther was already vulnerable, and now she wanted to donate her liver to a stranger.
