Chapter 471
From the stairs came the faint sounds of Larry''s footsteps.
Charlie guessed that his son was calling them to dinner, so he closed theptop again and put it
aside. He pulled her up from the couch and tucked the hair in her ear. "It seems that the meal is
ready. Don''t worry too much. Come down with me for dinner first!"
Wendy answered softly and walked out of the bedroom with him.
The only thing in the corridor was the faint glow of the setting sun. Her face and neck were stained
by the rose-colored light.
But her two hands that were hanging on both sides were curling up tightly. Countless doubts were
hidden in her brows and the corners of her eyes. The corners of her mouth were gradually curled
into a straight line, as if she was doing some struggle.
Finally, she seemed to have made a decision.
Wendy stopped and looked up at Charlie''s broad shoulders. "Charlie, I have something to tell you!"
"What is it?" Charlie looked back in confusion.
Wendy loosened her clenched fists and told Charlie slowly, "I decided ... to offer him a liver!"
The two of them were not only lovers but also a couple who wanted to spend the rest of their lives
together. Hence, she had to let him know what decision she had to make.
The next day, the white Land Rover stopped in front of the hospital building.
Wendy unbuckled her seatbelt and turned her head to look at Charlie, who was doing the same.
After she made the decisionst night, he didn''t say anything but said before going to bed that he
would apany her to the hospital tomorrow.
Wendy bit her lip and asked with hesitation, "Charlie, will you stop me?"
Charlieughed and put his hand on the back of her head. He kissed her forehead and said, "I''ll
support you no matter what decision you make!"
Wendy was deeply moved.
Although Kim did not know about her existence, after learning the results of the paternity test, she
did not think that she had to tell Kim or anything. She even thought that it was okay if Kim did not
know for the rest of his life.
In the past, she didn''t know that her biological father was someone else. They hadn''t had a
father.daughter rtionship. She could have let go of it. But when she saw Kim lying weakly on the
hospital bed, she had to admit that she just couldn''t leave him alone.
What''s more, her biological father had always been so gentle that she was willing to get close to
him. If she didn''t do this, she was even more afraid that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Obviously, Charlie had the same thought.
But liver transntation was not a small operation. It is very dangerous to remove a certain liver
from the body. Maybe that''s a little rmist. Doing so may threaten her health, and it''s normal for
Charlie, who was the one she would walk hand in hand with in this life, to oppose her to do so.
At this time, the corridor of the hospital was covered with ayer of sadness.
Linda and Madge stood side by side, with the attending doctor next to them wearing a serious
expression.
After Kim''s ident, Madge had been running around in the hospital for the past two days, and had
pined away a lot. She asked worriedly, "Doctor, my father woke up yesterday for a short while, and
then did not wake up again, until now is still in aa. Will it be dangerous if it goes on like this?"
"Yes, doctor, when will my husband wake up?" Linda had also pined away a lot.
The attending doctor sighed and said with a frown, "Mrs. Lu, Miss Gray, I have to remind you that
the current situation is not very optimistic. Although he is now in the ICU and on medication, his
physical condition is showing signs of worsening instead of improving!"
"This kind of surgery is very popr now, but the key problem is that there is no suitable liver
source.
have been contacting the major hospitals all the time, but there is no good news! If we can''t find it in
the next three days, then he will be very dangerous! You should be prepared for the worse in
advance. Once there is a problem before the surgery, the consequences ... " The attending doctor
didn''t say the following words, but the meaning was obvious.
Linda''s body almost went limp. She could only hold on tightly to her daughter''s hand. Both mother
and daughter looked at each other with a look of panic in their eyes.
At this time, they hadpletely walked into a dead end. They didn''t know what to do. Not only the
mother and daughter, but also almost all the rtives of the Gray family had done the inspection.
No one was suitable. They even find the ck market privately through a lot of rtions but didn''t
find a suitable source of liver ...
Madge thought that her father was very likely to die and said in a broken down voice, "Mom, what
should we do! If we can''t find a proper source of the liver as the doctor said, then Dad ... "
Suddenly there were footsteps, and a tall and strong figure stood behind them.
Madge was the first to see him and shouted in surprise, "Charlie?"
"Are you here to see my dad?" Madge let go of Linda and walked up to Charlie in a few steps.
Taking the opportunity to show her weakness, she said, "He''s still in a bad condition. The doctor just
said that if we can''t find a proper source of the liver in the next three days, my dad will be in great
danger! What should I do? I''m so afraid, Charlie!"
Charlie''s facial expression didn''t change at all. He didn''t seem to care about Madge at all, and didn''t
even look at her.
Just as Madge was about to choke and ask him forfort again, a soft and gentle female voice
suddenly sounded.
"I can donate a liver!"
Charlie''s tall figure moved slightly to the side, and only then did Madge see the person standing
behind Charlie.
As soon as she said that, Madge, Linda, and the attending doctor all looked at Wendy in shock.
"Wendy Lim?" Madge cried out.
It didn''t take long for Madge to realize that Charlie was still here. It was impolite for her to call
Wendy by full name. She quickly changed her tone and said, "Miss Lim, we''re in the hospital. My
father is still in ICU, still in aa. The doctors, my mother, and I are worried about his condition. I
hope you understand that this is not a ce for you to be joking!"
Wendy looked straight at Madge and said one word at a time, "Miss Gray, I''m not kidding. I just said
that I can donate a liver!"
"Miss Lim, I think you''re more like you''re here to show off!" Linda said coldly.
Watching Wendy and Charlieing over together, not only was it unpleasant to look at, but Linda
also thought that Wendy was deliberately trying to show off.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little tense, and the attending doctor couldn''t help bute out to
mediate the dispute. "Miss, I admire your kindness, but it''s not that easy to donate liver! In addition
to matching blood types, transnt recipients must also match other indicators!" Wendy
straightened her back. Without looking at the mother and daughter of the Gray family, she just
turned to the attending doctor in front of her. There was a trace of trance in her voice, but she
looked very determined and said slowly, "I am the daughter of the patient who is eligible for a living-
rted liver transntation!"
Linda and Madge froze.
The mother and daughter looked at each other again, but they both saw from each other''s eyes that
they were shocked.

"LRLT?" The attending doctor was surprised to hear that.
At first, he put his greatest hope on Madge. After all, she was his patient''s biological daughter. But
he didn''t expect that she didn''t match for the most basic blood type, which made him very
disappointed. He even thought that if she wasn''t his patient''s only daughter, then there would be
more hope. But it was just a thought, and he never thought that a miracle would happen!
The solemn look on the attending doctor''s face waspletely reced with excitement. "That''s
great! This will greatly increase the matching rate!"
Wendy looked at the doctor and hurriedly said, "Doctor, please help me with the examination
immediately. If all the examinations conform to the procedure, please arrange ... surgery for my
father as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay. Come with me. I''ll arrange it right now!" The attending doctor was a little excited and a
little flustered. A minute ago, he was still deeply troubled by this operation, but now there was a
chance to break through it.
Wendy nced at Charlie, and then the two of them followed the doctor at the same time.
However, before she could walk further, she was caught by someone else.
Because Charlie was on her left, and Linda was on her right. When Wendy passed by, Linda
suddenly reached out a hand to stop her from moving forward.
Charlie suddenly frowned. His facial expression showed that he was unhappy. He was about to say
something with a cold face, but she had already spoken first.
"Mrs. Gray, don''t you want to save your husband?"
Wendy and Linda met each other''s eyes without dodging. Wendy''s eyes were covered with ayer
of frost, and her voice was soft but cold, even a little bit fierce, "If you do, let go of me!"
