When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 993


    I felt sorry for the youngdy. She must have suffered a lot after knowing that her survival cost the life


    of another girl.


    After a while, I asked, “Do you know anything about Armond?” That day in the cowshed, Ann told me


    that some of the children never returned to the vige after they were taken away.


    I was not sure if it was what I think it was.


    Upon the mention of Armond, Hailey’s clenched the nket, her face darkened. After a long silence,


    she finally said, “That man is Satan! He has blood on his hands just for money. I suppose many people


    have died at his hands.”


    I furrowed my brows. “You have never met him before. How are you so sure that he has something to


    do with the organ trade?”


    She looked up at me and uttered, “I have never met him, but I knew that guy. My father was imprisoned


    because of him. Initially, my father only wanted to find me a matching heart. That man brought the girl


    of my age to my father. He told my father that her illness was incurable and that I could get a heart


    transnt after she died. As time passed, my health deteriorated, only then did he tell my father the


    truth. He asked for three million for bringing the girl to my father. After the girl died, he ckmailed my


    father and demanded a tenfold increase in the price as hush money. Having no choice, my father


    embezzled thepany’s money. In the end, he was charged and imprisoned. It’s all because of him!


    That man is evil! You need to be wary of him.”


    I was stunned by her revtion. “Did that girl really died?”


    Hailey clenched her fists, her eyes reddened. “Yes. My dad told me he had buried her, but…”


    The youngdy burst into tears.


    Seeing that, I stopped asking further questions and decided to leave her alone. Those children that


    never return to the vige… Did they die just like that girl?


    Hailey’s words made me realize that Armond must be hiding something. As soon as I left the ward, I


    made a call to Brandon.


    His gruff voice was heard over the phone, “Hello, what’s the matter?”


    “The kid’s test result is out. If the kid is to donate her organ, I need her identity card and her parents to


    sign the consent form. How are you going to solve this?” Hailey told me that the hospital wouldn’t


    perform surgery without the necessary documentation. I wondered how Brandon was going to deal with


    this.


    After a while, the man said, “You don’t need to worry about that. As long as you agree with the surgery


    and pay us the money, we will take care of it.”


    Since we hadn’t discussed the price yet, I asked, “How are you going to charge me?”


    “Well, you will have to bear the costs of the operating room, the doctors, the medication, and also the


    money for the kid’s parents. Why don’t we meet up and discuss this? This is a serious matter, and I bet


    you wouldn’t want to discuss it over the phone.”


    “Alright. You decide the time and the ce.” I shuddered at the thought that the organ trade was rather


    systematic and well-coordinated. It seemed like the kids in that vige were not the only victims.


    When I was back in the ward, Summer had woken up. She hadn’t met a girl of her age for a long time,


    so she was chatty with Amy.

    Meanwhile, Cameron was reading a project proposal. Although she had handed over most of her work


    in thepany to Nick, thetter, being inexperienced, still needed her guidance.


    Since Zachary was nowhere to be seen, I asked, “Mom, where is Dad?”


    Keeping her eyes on the proposal, she answered, “He’s gone to meet his friend. Oh, he asked me to


    ask you from where did you find the kid? She’s healthy and fit. It doesn’t seem like she’s from the


    orphanage.”


    I frowned. “Orphanage?”


    Cameron nodded. “Your father has contacted an orphanage before. Now, he wanted to donate to the


    orphanage where the kid lived as a token of gratitude. But, it seems like that little girl came from a


    vige and not an orphanage. Boris told me it took you guys more than seven hours to travel to that


    vige where you found her. Who gave you the address of the vige?”


    I suddenly understood the reason Ashton became mad at me yesterday. The man knew from Zachary


    that thetter had contacted an orphanage. Hence, he knew I was lying to him, for Amy was obviously


    not from an orphanage.


    I started to feel the throbbing in my temples. If Ashton knew I was the one who turned to Armond for


    help, it would be a disaster.


    I gave Cameron a seemingly convincing answer. “I got it from a friend of mine.” I was relieved that


    Cameron was absorbed reading the proposal that she didn’t ask further.
