The conversation between the two children made the people laugh and shake their heads.
"Sally's right. It's a good thing. Why are we crying about it?" said Selma as she wiped the tears from
the corner of her eyes.
Thoughts of Eddy's illness had been weighing on everyone's mind to the point where they couldn't
relax at any point in time at all. Also, something happened to Anne recently too. It actually almost made
them all breakdown.
But now, everything was fine. Anne had returned to normal and Kim became a wanted criminal!
While they didn't know whether the police could capture Kim or not, they knew he wouldn't suddenly
appear and disturb their lives any time soon.
And to add another good news, they had found a possible heart donor for Eddy. Everything was great!
"At this joyous moment, I must open a bottle of red wine. Would you like to drink some?" With a smile,
Selma looked at the crowd while holding a glass of red wine.
"Yes, of course!" Anne and Kevin exchanged looks and nodded at the same time.
Then, Eddy stretched out his hand. Cautiously, he asked, "Can I drink too?"
Sally and Simon who were beside him looked at each other and also asked cautiously, "Can we also
drink?"
The three children who sought permission were simply adorable. Selma smiled at them and said,
"Usually, I won't allow you to do so but since today is a happy day, you can drink some. But only a
little!"
"Yes! Grandma's the best!"
"I really love Grandma the most!"
the children yelled one after another. Their loud and happy voices made Selma's heart swell in
happiness. She gazed at them with soft and loving eyes.
A smile emerged at Anne's lips as she looked at the scene in front of her.
Every single person in this world had done something wrong. It was true that Anne suffered a lot
because of Selma's authoritative attitude before but as long as Selma genuinely loved her children,
everything was forgiven. That love was enough for Anne.
Since she had gone through immense pain, she knew how to enjoy happy and sweet moments in life.
She was greatly satisfied that the family was finally happy. She didn't care about the past anymore
since it was all over now. The most important things were the present and the future!
Kevin put his arm around Anne's shoulder and they lovingly smiled at each other.
They were really experiencing a pleasant life right now!
Originally, they told the children to drink a little red wine only. They didn't expect for them to drink so
much that their faces turned red and they remained plastered on the bed.
Fortunately, it was just wine. It wasn't really a big deal for kids to drink it.
When the three children finally fell asleep, the adults started a discussion. Selma, Anne, and Kevin sat
in the hall and talked.
"Who is Eddy's heart donor?" Selma asked Kevin.
Pressing his lips, he replied, "It's a child with a blood disease also. He's lying in bed right now and
might die any time soon."
Blood disease!
When Anne heard those two ominous words, her stomach dropped. Eddy had been burdened with
blood disease from the moment he was born, and he got sicker as time went by. This disease was such
an unpredictable and tragic problem!
She didn't expect that another child would be troubled by it. Moreover, it was unexpected for the child's
heart to match Eddy's.
"Did his parents agree to donate it?" Actually, this was what Selma really wanted to know.
Kevin froze. He slightly shook his head and frowned. "Sam's classmate works in the hospital in M City.
Sam told that classmate about Eddy and the classmate secretly matched the two hearts. The child's
parents don't know about it yet."
At first, the classmate only wanted to try it out since the children had the same blood type. He didn't
really expect to have a perfect match.
Slightly, Selma nodded. She was utterly grateful to Sam's classmate, but she was still worried.
If the child's parents were to refuse, what would they do?
This made Anne sigh although there was no disappointment in her heart. There was a small hope now
and that was infinitely better than despair!
"No matter what, I will get that child's heart for Eddy. I will never allow anything to happen to my
grandson!" Firmly, Selma grunted and went upstairs.
The two adults who were left behind looked at each other and resolutely nodded at the same time. Like
Selma, they would do everything to protect Eddy!
The next day, Emily and Sam came to the Fu Family's house early in the morning.
The donor's parents didn't know about the matter yet, so they had to inform and convince them.
Kevin and Anne looked at Emily and Sam with sincere gratitude but before they could say anything,
Sam interrupted them.
"We've been friend for many years. It would be insulting for you to thank us. This is nothing."
The two smiled and nodded. Indeed, they had experienced many things together since they had been
friends for a very long time.
There wasn't any need to say thanks.
"Okay. Let's go!" With smile, Anne spurred them to leave.
Everyone nodded in agreement. When they were about to set out, another voice shouted, "I'll go with
you!"
The four turned around and saw Selma. She was wearing expensive designer clothes and high heels.
She hurriedly walked in front of them like a gust of wind and firmly said, "I'm worried. I think I should
follow you!"
There was a flush of embarrassment on Anne's face. She looked at Kevin and saw that he was
helplessly shaking his head.
This act from Selma was really impulsive and irresponsible, just like how she was in the past when she
took Sally to the hospital to get her heart for Eddy.
However, she was an elder. They couldn't be so direct in reprimanding her.
Awkwardly, Kevin looked at Selma. "Mom, neither I nor Anne is in the house. If you leave too, who will
look after the three children?"
In an instant, Selma stiffened and fell into deep thought. It was true. Someone needed to look after the
three children.
But…
Selma looked at Anne. Maybe she could stay and take care of the children. But before she could even
say anything, Anne took a step forward and held her hand.
It made Selma a little confused. Anne explained, "Mom, you have to believe us. We share the same
thoughts. This time, no matter what the price is, no matter how difficult it would be, we will definitely
persuade the parents to donate their child's heart. That heart belongs to Eddy and we'll make sure to
get it!"
"Don't worry, Mom. We'll do great. If things don't work out, we'll call you immediately. How about that?"
Helping his wife, Kevin reassured his mother too.
The sincerity of the couple touched her. She frowned but she knew she couldn't just leave the three
children on their own. She had no choice but to concede.
However, Eddy who should had been in school suddenly appeared at home. "Dad, Mom, I want to go
with you."
All of them were surprised. Anne squatted down and asked, "Why do you want to go with us? Isn't it
more fun to be with Grandma and your siblings at home?"
The child's face fell a little. After a moment of silence, Eddy continued, "I want to see that kid. I don't
think I can have his heart without even knowing what he looks like."
Such an idea was so unexpected. Anne was at a loss, so she turned to Kevin for help.
During the two years that she was controlled by Kim, Eddy had been living with Kevin. Naturally, he
understood the child more.
Indeed, he was still a child, but he was already capable of creating his own ideas. Now that he had
asked, then they had no reason to refuse.
"If Eddy wants to go with us, then he should," decided Kevin.
The child's eyes lit up and he looked at Anne with expectation. Seeing that hopeful expression, Anne
couldn't help but hold him in her arms.
They all loved their children but not to the point of coddling them too much. Their children had their own
thoughts and ideas, and they were happy to hear about what was on their mind.
After all, Eddy was about to receive a heart from another person. Maybe it would do him good to see
the other child before it happened.
The disappearing car made Selma sigh heavily. At that moment, Simon and Sally came out. They
looked at her in confusion and asked, "Grandma, are you worried?"
Turning around, Selma squatted down and looked at the two. She shook her head and firmly said, "No,
I'm not worried at all. I know that heart belongs to Eddy!"
No one talked about the main topic of the journey inside the car. It wasn't necessarily quiet, however.
Anne was speaking. "There are some scenic spots in M City. If we have enough time, let's go and take
a look."
Emily nodded in response. "A few years ago, a friend of mine brought some cakes from M City and
they tasted very good. I'm not sure if we could find them but if possible, let's have a big meal."
Hearing the request, Sam dotingly looked at Emily. "I will surely keep it in mind if we're able to find
them. And if ever there comes a time when you're craving them, I will immediately bring you here."
The romantic declaration made Emily blush. She looked at Sam affectionately before shyly lowering
her head.
The couple's sweetness made Anne and Kevin smile. At the start of Sam and Emily's marriage, they
actually almost broke up. Anne and Kevin had been so worried about them before but now they were
so happy it was almost enviable.
Since they decided to get married, it meant that they would stay together for a whole lifetime. It was
good that they had let go of the unpleasant things that happened in the past.
All of them talked and laughed all the way to M City. It was almost as if they had forgotten their true
purpose. But at the same time, the issue was buried deep in their hearts making them slightly
uncomfortable and unhappy.
When they arrived, Sam immediately contacted his classmate Jayson Lin. He was an excellent doctor
in the third hospital of M City.
After meeting Jayson Lin, the two classmates hugged and talked a little. Then, Sam took him to meet
Kevin.
"This is Kevin. He's the CEO of AN Group," Sam introduced to Jayson Lin.
Nodding, Jayson Lin reached out for a handshake. "I've heard of Mr. Kevin before that he is a
promising young man. Now that I've met him, the rumors seemed to be true."
With a smile, Kevin shook his head at the praise. They talked about each other some more before the
topic finally shifted to Eddy.
Sensing Eddy's presence, Jayson Lin slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the child who
needs a heart donor?"
Enthusiastically, Kevin nodded. "Yes!"
Jayson Lin was in a slight dilemma as he looked at the people in front of him. He didn't try to hide it
though and he sighed heavily. "The child in our hospital is five years old. He's a cute boy named Bob.
He acquired a peculiar blood disease after he was born.
That blood disease will lead to organ failure at any time. There's no cure for it. We can only stand by
and treat him whenever any of the organs fails."
The explanation was spot-on. It was the exact same disease that Eddy had. Anne couldn't help but
hold the child tightly in her arms.
Blood disease had no cure. Worse, it would cause organ failure, and that made people
suffer!
