When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 992


    After a short pause, she continued by saying, “When she died, her face was disfigured, her body was


    covered with blood. My father told me it was an ident, and I have always persuaded myself to


    believe in his words. However, that girl is deeply rooted in my memory. I lived every passing day,


    tortured by the feeling of guilt and agony.”


    Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes as she pleaded, “Don’t make the same mistake again.


    Don’t sacrifice that kid.”

    I fell into silence. No wonder she became emotional when she saw Amy.


    Just then, Cameron called. “My dear, where are you? The kid has done with the check-up. She is now


    crying and asking for you.” For some reason, she sounded cheerful over the phone.


    I uttered a response and ended the call. Gazing at Hailey, I uttered, “This is not a major surgery, and it


    won’t risk the kid’s life. I only wanted to save my daughter. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t let the kid go


    through this.”


    Hailey was choking up while crying helplessly. I pressed the call button and let the nurses take care of


    her before leaving the ward.


    Outside the ER, Amy was done with her check-up. With her eyes reddened, she pointed at her pelvic


    area. “Ms. Stovall, it hurts!”


    The doctor didn’t perform a bone marrow biopsy. Instead, he only collected blood samples to test the


    compatibility of Amy’s bone marrow with Summer’s. Hugging the little girl, Iforted her, “That must


    hurt a lot. I’ll buy you snackster.”


    Cameron shifted her gaze back and forth between us. “Summer has been transferred to the ward. You


    should go and check on her now.”


    I nodded and then followed her to the ward. The doctor wasmunicating with Zachary while


    Summer was lying on the bed, still under the effect of anesthesia.


    As the doctor left the ward, I quickly went after him. “Doctor, I want to know more information about the


    bone marrow and kidney transnt surgery. Will that have any negative effects on the donor?”


    The doctor nodded. “Well, the extraction of bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells won’t cause


    major harm to the human body though it could be painful. As for kidney donation, that will definitely


    cause some side effects to the donor. It is just like our fingers. If you lose one of them, it won’t lead to


    death, but it will definitely cause a loss of functional hand movements.”


    My face turned pale at his words. “If a kid donates her kidney, will that have any impact on her health?”


    The doctor nodded. “Of course. Well, it won’t cause death, but debility is inevitable.”


    I didn’t ask further questions since the doctor had cleared my doubts.


    In the ward, Amy was sitting by the bed, looking curiously at Summer. Upon seeing me, Cameron


    asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Zachary knew about my worries. He took a nce at Amy as he said to me, “I have considered all the


    possible risks of the surgery. The possibility of death is little to none. Scarlett, you know how hard it is


    to find a matching donor. We will take good care of that kid after the surgery.”


    I knew Zachary was right.


    I was d that we wouldn’t have to risk Amy’s life. Still, I couldn’t help feeling guilty for harming an


    innocent kid to save my own daughter.


    Since Summer had just finished her chemotherapy while Amy’s test result was not out yet, we could


    only wait in the hospital. Meanwhile, I had Boris bring Amy with him so that thetter need not stay in


    the hospital.


    When I went to check on Hailey, the effect of anesthesia had worn off. Her face still looked pale, yet


    she was visibly relieved after I told her of both Summer and Amy’s conditions. “It’s great that you don’t


    need to risk the kid’s life. However, even if the transnt is sessful, cancer recurrence might ur


    during the five-year postoperative observation period. If that happens, your daughter will need to


    receive a second transnt surgery. So, what are you going to do with that kid?”


    I mulled over her words for some time. Soon after, I spoke up, “Her parents are treating her like their


    money tree. If I send her back to her parents, I’m afraid they will force her to marry a random guy for a


    dowry when she grows up. Actually, my parents wished to adopt her. She can go to school with


    Summer and live at the Moore Residence. She can decide her own future and live the life she wants.”


    My words brought a smile onto Hailey’s face. “If she gets adopted by the Moore family, she will


    definitely have a brighter future than growing up in that vige. That way, you can repay her by


    providing her a better life. Well, I bet she couldn’t ask for more.”


    Well, that is the best way we could think of. I sighed. Yet, we still needed to wait until Amy’s test results


    came out. After the surgery, I would bring Amy back to the vige and let her cut ties with her terrible


    parents. After that, she could start her new life in the Moore family.


    Hailey brought her hand to her chest. In a sorrowful tone, she murmured, “If only I could also choose at


    that time.”
