As a doctor, Sam knew how to kill people. But he couldn't stomach the idea of doing such methods on
a child.
"Mommy!"
In his pajamas, Eddy walked towards the crowd with his short legs. Everyone was surprised to see him.
They thought he was already asleep. This little guy had tricked them once again.
Anne welcomed him into her arms. "You should be asleep by now, Eddy. Otherwise, you won't grow
tall. Young boys like you need more sleep in order to grow."
Eddy preoccupied himself by tugging at Anne's dress. "Don't worry. I will live longer than Bob!"
Surprisingly, the tone in his voice made him sound more mature than his age.
This caught everyone off guard. They didn't expect him to say such words.
Anne blinked rapidly and looked up the ceiling, willing to hold back the tears that threatened to flood out
of her eyes.
Her child's words were even more painful.
"Eddy, you should let dad and I deal with this. You don't have to worry too much. Now go back to your
room and sleep well, okay?" Anne said softly while holding Eddy's face in her hands.
Eddy simply looked at her and shook his head. "You have to trust me, mom. I'm a man now, and I must
keep my words. I will live longer than Bob!"
Anne couldn't help but hold Eddy tightly in her arms, letting her tears flow down on her son's back.
Kevin sighed heavily and wrapped his arms around the mother and son.
Upon seeing this, Sam and Emily looked at each other and nodded. They then walked out of the room.
Bob's parents were persistent and willing to do everything for their child. As long as Bob was alive, they
would never give up.
If Kevin and Anne revealed their true intentions, Bob's parents would probably just drive them away
without giving them a chance to speak.
Nonetheless, the children were currently in the same situation. They initially thought that Bob would
leave first, but Jayson had just told them that Bob was getting better. If he survived, he could live a few
more years.
Now, the two children were back to the same running line. But this time, who would outlive the other?
Nobody could know.
In their minds, they watched Eddy grow up. They were willing to do anything to see Eddy safe.
"Can't we just find a different heart donor other than Bob?" Emily asked, turning to look at Sam.
At the moment, the current situation was just too difficult to deal with.
Sam sighed heavily. HIs face turning red with embarrassment. "I've been searching for a heart donor
for a long time before I finally found Bob. I really don't know where else I can find another one."
That meant they had to make sure they could get Bob's heart before Eddy's illness got worse.
However, Bob was getting better, and he was just a child. They weren't so heartless that they could
disregard those facts.
Meanwhile, Both Kevin and Anne were torn with the dilemma. And while they knew nothing could ever
be easy, they still didn't expect to be faced with a very difficult choice.
Being a child, Eddy had already fallen asleep in Anne's arms after just a short time. She carefully
carried him into his room and placed him on the bed. She looked down on his sleeping face and sighed
helplessly. Before saying good night, she kissed him on the forehead and then walked away.
While Anne felt very sorry for Bob, she would always choose Eddy above everyone else.
Now, they only had one problem. As long as Bob was alive, his parent's would never give up his
treatment.
What should they do if that was the case?
Anne looked up. Her eyes met Kevin's for a moment before his phone suddenly started ringing. He
pulled it out and looked at the caller ID flickering on the screen. Upon seeing who it was, he couldn't
help but rub his forehead.
"It's late, mom. Why are you still up?" Kevin asked softly.
"Have you seen the child?" Selma asked from the other end of the line. "How did it go? Are the child's
parents willing to donate his heart? How much are they asking for? Or are there any other conditions?"
Kevin raised his head to look straight at Anne. She sighed as well. So instead of telling the truth, Kevin
said that something suddenly came up so they hadn't met the child yet. It was then that Selma hung up
the phone.
In fact, both of them didn't want Selma to get involved in this matter. She would be too difficult to
handle. And if she knew about the truth, she might do something behind their backs. If that were to
happen, everything would go out of control.
"I never wanted to become a murderer, but if I have no other choice, I will gladly do it for my child."
Anne closed her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly but her voice was firm.
Human beings were indeed selfish. Bob might be very cute and pitiful, but all of these were insignificant
compared to Eddy--her own son.
No matter how reluctant she was, she would willingly take away Bob's life if Eddy was in danger.
Kevin frowned, but he didn't say anything. Deep inside his mind, he had the same thoughts as hers.
Even if it meant paying the price with their lives, they must make sure that their child would live well.
On the second day, Anne took Eddy to the hospital so that he could play with Bob.
Anne initially didn't want to take him with her, but he insisted on it. So now, she had no other choice but
to take her son with her.
Bob was sitting on his bed, seemingly bored and lonely. But as soon as he saw Anne and Eddy, his
eyes lit up. He immediately jumped off the bed and ran towards them.
The boy was naive enough to believe that they were both good people who wouldn't hurt him since
Anne brought Eddy to play with him. For him, He didn't know that they had their own hidden agenda.
As for Bob's parents, they also thought that they had met some good people. They had no idea about
their true intentions.
As soon as Anne saw Bob running over to them with a lovely smile on his face, her eyes gradually
darkened.
