Chapter 178: Different Marrow Match


    Zoe fell asleep very quickly.


    Samuel covered her well with quilt, and left the ward noiselessly, and he saw Joseph was wiping his


    tears secretly standing in front of the window of the corridor.


    He sighed slightly and scooped up Joseph in front of him.


    “Do you think of Lucas again?”


    With Samuel''s words, Joseph couldn''t help but start crying on his shoulder.


    “Daddy, do you think Lucas wille back? Where did he go? Why isn''t there any news? Our Green


    Family has so many resources, but why can''t we find his whereabouts? I am so afraid, Daddy. What if


    Lucas won''te back?”


    Samuel''s nose twitched.


    He pressed Joseph''s head tightly on his shoulder, with two eyes already moist.


    “No, Lucas will be fine and he wille back some day.”


    “But I missed him very much. Sister Zoe will have the operation soon and Lucas always cares about


    her illness. Why doesn’t hee back at this time?”


    Joseph cried with his body trembling.


    Since Lucas disappeared, Joseph seemed to have changed a lot. Except that he smiled in front of Zoe,


    his look at other times was always distressing.


    Samuel felt sad, but he could onlyfort Joseph and said, “After Zoe recovers from the illness, we


    will go to find Lucas together. Don’t cry. You have grown up. You should believe Lucas wille back


    and miracle will happen for sure. God will not be so cruel.”


    He didn''t know if these words were said to Joseph or to himself. The current feeling of weakness was


    really driving him crazy.


    Unexpectedly, Joseph fell asleep after crying on Samuel''s shoulder for a while.


    Aftering to the US, this boy didn''t have a good rest. He was always worried about Zoe and


    strained his heartstrings too tightly. Now he was exhausted after venting, and gradually fell asleep.


    Samuel lifted him back to the ward, put him together with Zoe and covered the quilt.


    At this moment, the doctor came in.


    “Mr. Green, I have something to talk with you”


    “It''s about Zoe?”


    Samuel''s heart suddenly tightened.


    The doctor nodded.


    Samuel asked the bodyguard to take care of the two children, and then he entered the office with the


    doctor.


    The doctor closed the door and handed a file to Samuel.


    “What''s this?”


    “This is a kidney donation voluntary letter we received a few days ago, and the donor has already sent


    us her bone marrow


    matching, who has repeated over and over again that you are not allowed to donate your kidney, but


    we have checked her matching type, which is not suitable.”


    Samuel was shocked by the doctor''s words.


    “Who is the donor?”


    The doctor shook his head and said, “The donor''s identity is very mysterious, but seems very influential


    and powerful. We are


    not qualified to make investigations, but the donor was repeating over and over again that you are not


    allowed to have the operation. I am wondering if she is you rtive or friend.”


    Samuel was stunned.


    Who would stop him from the operation?


    He thought of Zama for the first time, but it seemed not to be so after he thought carefully about it. He


    called Jason in order to


    prove it. The news he got was that Zama cursed and said why she would donate kidney to strangers.


    Samuel frowned again.


    If it was not Zama, who would it be?


    He opened the consent letter for donating surgery, but was stunned by the signature on it.


    To his surprise, it was his mother Laurel Green.


    Samuel''s was extremely shocked.


    He had always thought that Mrs. Green disagreed with his marriage with Nicole and even had no


    reaction towards Lucas’ disappearance. He had never thought she would offer to donate her kidney for


    Zoe.


    Samuel''s eyes suddenly became a little moist.


    It seemed that his mother knew everything he did.


    “I see, doctor. Please allow me to go out to make a phone call.”


    Samuel''s emotion was a bit unstable.


    The doctor nodded. Samuel went out and called Mrs. Green.


    Mrs. Green answered the phone quickly, but there was noise around. It seemed that Mrs. Green was


    outside.


    “Mom."


    Samuel suddenly wanted to cry after yelling the word.


    He was not a coward. On the road to love with Nicole, he always thought he was walking forward with


    great burden. No one around understood and agreed with him. He always felt he was walking alone.


    But now when he learned of Mrs. Green''s deed, he suddenly became somewhat fragile like a child.


    His voice trembled fiercely, even with a sobbing tone that was not easy to perceive.


    Mrs. Green sighed and said, “How old are you? You are already father of three. Why are you still so


    childish?


    “Mom, thank you.”


    Samuel knew it was unnecessary to say thanks between mother and son. But during these years, there


    was always distance between Samuel and Mrs. Green, especially


    Vincent''s misfortune after being driven out of the family by Mrs. Green, which made him more distant to


    his mother. But now


    hearing mom''s deed, Samuel thought he was very unfilial.


    Regarding to Vincent''s death, the person who was the most overwhelmed should be Mrs. Green, but


    he had been ming all the time.


    Mrs. Green''s eyes also became somewhat moist.


    “There is no need for son to say thanks to mom. Mom is ageing and my time to make decisions for you


    has passed already.


    You have grown up, and no matter you or


    Vincent, you both have your own thoughts. I have been thinking during these years, that if I hadn''t


    driven Vincent out of the family due to that issue, Vincent would still be alive now and would call me


    mom by my side”


    “Mom, don''t say that anymore. It has passed already and Vincent has neverined about you.”


    “But I me myself! That''s my son! For so many years, I have been escaping. I don''t dare to go back,


    return home, or even think of you, but I still can''t help thinking. I''m already sorry to Vincent. Your life


    here is a mess, but I don’t know what to do. When you married Nicole, I disagreed. I think love is a


    matter of two people. Although Nicole loves you, you don''t have her in your heart. This kind of marriage


    is unfair to both of you. But you insisted on marrying Nicole, so mom didn''t say anything. But during the


    five years of marriage, you didn’t let yourself understand your heart until the fire, which took everything


    away, including you. Do you know how sad mom was? I thought about going back and staying with


    you, but you don’t need me. When you were a child, mom was busy with group affairs and left you to


    Zama. When you grow up, there is no need for me to intervene in the group affairs, and I have found


    out sadly that you don''t even need me anymore.”


    “You always call me mom respectfully and you never take the initiative to tell me what you need and


    what you want, but you tell Zama everything. You make me, your biological mother, think that I''m an


    outsider in the Green Family. I have worked so hard all my life, but the son I gave birth to after ten


    months’ pregnancy is like a stranger to me. I don''t dare to stay at home, and I can’t. But that doesn’t


    mean I don''t love you and your children. When I learned that Lucas is your son, I even bought him the


    best toy and wanted to send it back, but I was afraid that you wouldn''t care about this at all. If I had


    known what would happen to Lucas. I would have handed him the toy anyway. Now he can''t even see


    his grandma.”


    Mrs. Green suddenly choked with sobs and couldn''t speak.


    Samuel''s heart twitched with pain.


    “No, mom, I was not picking on you. Sorry, really sorry.”


    Samuel''s words made Mrs. Green more emotional.


    “You never tell me anything, except that about Zama. I didn’t intend to take her side, but I only felt that


    in your heart, she should have reced me as a mother at the earliest. I didn''t want you to feel sad and


    awkward. Besides, everything she had done was for your good, and she wouldn''t do you harm, so I just


    let it go. Regarding to Nicole, it''s mom''s fault. Mom failed to understand your feelings for the first time


    and that it has to be only her for you. But as for my grandson, I feel distressed.


    Mrs. Green choked with sobs.


    Samuel had never talked with mom like this, and he didn''t even know his mother had such thoughts in


    her mind. He said sobbing, “Mom, I will find Lucas back, I will.”


    “Mom believes in you but as for Zoe''s operation, you have to listen to mom. Mom is ageing and has


    lived for a long time. It doesn’t matter to give my granddaughter a kidney, but you are still young and


    you have a long way to go. Listen to mom, and don''t scramble with mom. Just let mom to do something


    for my granddaughter.”


    Mrs. Green wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and said, “You have such a heavy burden on


    your shoulders. You have to look for Nicole, look for your son, and take care of your daughter. Do you


    have so much energy? Mom may be old now, so I just want to go back to China to see you and to be


    surrounded by children and grandchildren. Even if you drive mom away in the future, mom won''t


    leave.”


    “I won''t. You are always my mom. How can I drive you away?”


    Samuel suddenly felt warm in his heart, filled with maternal love that he had lost for so many years.


    He had never lost it, but only didn’t know.


    After talking with Mrs. Green, Samuel said in a low voice, “Mom, I don’t want to scramble with you, but


    your marrow match is not appropriate. Until now, only mine is appropriate, so I can''t escape.”


    “How is this possible? I am her biological grandmother!”


    Obviously, Mrs. Green couldn''t ept this news, so she raised a little her voice subconsciously.


    Samuelforted her and said, “Mom, not every family member''s is appropriate.”


    “But mom doesn''t want to see you...”


    m also a father, mom. Towards Zoe, I am in the same mood as you are.”


    Samuel’s words finally made Mrs. Green fall apart.


    She cried with the phone in hand.


    “Why not me? Why is mine inappropriate? Why?”


    Samuel felt sad and distressed in his heart, but he had tofort Mrs. Green. It took a long time for


    her to calm down and she told Samuel to take care of himself. Then the two hung up the phone.


    After calming down a little, Samuel returned to the doctor''s office.


    “Doctor, just assume this hasn''t happened. And still prepare the surgery for Zoe and me.

    Samuel said lightly, but the doctor gave Samuel a report, which made Samuel''s eyes suddenly


    narrowed.
