Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 308 Sudden Despair

The doctor was silent for a minute before he gave a serious nod. "I'm afraid Eddy's condition due to his heart disease is critical. If he gets better, he will survive this time. Unfortunately, who knows if he won't make it next time?

If it is at all possible, you should replace a heart donor for him immediately to ensure his safety.

What's more, Eddy's blood type is rare. What you should replace is a person whose blood type is the same as his. Otherwise, his body will just reject the organ."

After delivering the news, the doctor finished it with comforting words before he left.

Even so, Kevin and Anne fell into a deafening silence.

Back then, the reason why Anne married Kevin was because their blood types were rare.

But now, where could they replace a suitable donor for Eddy?

With a frown, Selma looked down at Sally. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. Didn't Sally have the same blood as Eddy?

Besides, she had another grandson whom she had never seen before, and that was Simon!

Feeling upset, Anne inadvertently saw the direction of Selma's gaze. She immediately understood the meaning of that look. With a frown, she held Sally in her arms and looked at Selma warily.

"Eddy is my child, so is Sally. No matter what, I won't give up one to save the other!" When Anne spoke, there was determination in her voice.

Selma's face changed as she heard Anne's words, and she breathed a heavy sigh. She did not want to choose either, but what about Eddy?

"There must be a way. There will be a way! There's no need to sacrifice any of them!" Kevin murmured to himself with his hand on his forehead. As a matter of fact, he was unsure whether he was comforting others or himself.

He was aware of how rare their blood type was. There was no way they could relieve the situation right now.

After Eddy was rescued, he was immediately sent to the ICU. Now, his parents sat in front of his bed wearing sterile hospital clothes.

Eddy looked at them and smiled. He stretched out his little hands and said comfortingly, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Look, I'm fine."

He wanted to give his parents reassurance, but his voice was very weak.

As Anne heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. Nevertheless, she tried her best to hold back her tears and nodded firmly at her son. "Eddy, listen to me. You'll get better soon."

Eddy nodded in agreement. Then, his eyes closed slowly and he drifted to sleep.

Outside the glass, Selma could not help but shed tears upon seeing Eddy like that.

She would never let her grandson die in front of her!

"Grandma, Eddy is so lazy. He just woke up and fell asleep again." Clutching at Selma's clothes, Sally pouted and continued in a soft voice, "I miss my brother. Not Eddy, but Simon."

Sally had not seen her twin brother for a long time so she missed him so much. She wondered if Simon felt the same.

Selma closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then squatted in front of Sally and caressed her precious little face. Gently, she lifted the child in her arms.

The two of them were both her grandchildren, and she loved both of them with all her heart. But if there was no other choice but to choose one whom she would save, she would definitely choose Eddy! Eddy had been with her for so many years. She could not let anything happen to her favorite grandson!

"Sally, remember that I love you very much. If something happens in the future, please don't get mad and blame me for it. You have to remember that I didn't have a choice. All this is just to save your brother! You're a good kid. I know you want to save your brother too, right?" she said to Sally in a soft voice, her eyes filled with guilt. Confusion was apparent on Sally's face. She could not understand many words at once, but she understood the last sentence. With clenched hands, Sally nodded heavily and replied with determination, "Don't worry, Grandma! I will save my brother! Please don't be sad anymore. Mom and Dad said that Eddy would be fine. He's just tired and will be fine after a few days of rest."

Selma nodded heavily in response, but her heart was still sad.

When night fell, Kevin asked his mother to take Sally home to rest. Meanwhile, he and Anne stayed in the corridor of the hospital. An indescribable sadness could be clearly seen in their eyes. Although they had Sally and Simon now, Eddy was irreplaceable in their heart.

They could not live without him.

"Anne, I've already given my orders. I don't believe that there's nothing we can do to save our son," said Kevin in a resolute voice.

It was not easy to replace the right one with the same blood type to marry. Now just because of the rare blood type, his son was affected and his life was in danger. Kevin didn't believe that fate would be against him at all times.

Anne's eyes were like the eyes of a doll, beautiful yet lifeless. All of a sudden, her lips curled into a bittersweet smile.

She slowly lifted her gaze and looked at Kevin. "Kevin, we have no other choice!"

It was true that the world was big! But there were only a few who had the precious blood type. Besides, among the few, who would risk their life for Eddy?

Eddy was so weak now, and how long could he wait?

"Anne, I know you're anxious and sad. I feel the same way. But now is not the right time to lose hope. Eddy will be fine." Kevin hugged her and felt that her body was cold. He immediately took off his shirt and draped it on her shoulders. "Trust me. Everything will be fine."

Despite his reassurance, Anne's body was still stiff. Tears streamed down her face and into her mouth. It was said that tears were salty, but why did it taste so bitter?

She wanted to believe that everything would be okay, but was God willing to give her that opportunity?

After hearing the news about Eddy, Emily and Sam figured out that Anne and Kevin must be on the verge of collapse. They dropped what they were doing at once and rushed to the hospital to accompany them.

"Anne." Wearing Kevin's clothes and messy hair, Anne lowered her head like a dreary doll.

Emily felt so worried seeing her like this.

She was aware how much Eddy meant to Anne and how desperate Anne must feel as his mother.

However, how could Anne comfort her own son if she herself gave up?

As if she did not hear anything, Anne kept her head down. Emily sighed and squatted in front of her.

"Anne, don't worry and be strong, okay? The AN Group is powerful. We will definitely replace a suitable heart donor for him," reassured Emily as she held Anne's hand.

Anne did not answer. She just kept her head lowered to the ground.

Heaving a sigh, Sam looked at Kevin and asked in a low voice, "Is there really no other way?"

Kevin frowned and looked at him coldly, making Sam freeze in the spot. "Of course there is! We'll replace a heart donor for him soon!"

Knowing how difficult it was to match a special bloodline, Sam turned his head slowly to look at Anne.

Perhaps, only the two other children of Anne could have a matching blood type!

However, they were all Anne's children. She could not give up any of them.

At the thought of this, Sam shook his head and sat on the bench.

"Is there any news about Simon?" All of a sudden, Anne raised her head and asked Kevin.

He shook his head in response. "I don't know where Kim is yet. I can't replace him anywhere," he answered through gritted teeth.

Anne nodded. She did not expect to hear a good news anyway. Propping herself on a chair, she tried to stand up but her body trembled. Seeing this, Emily came to the rescue. Anne shook her head and pushed Emily away. She had to be strong on her own. Albeit weakly, she managed to walk forward.

Eddy was lying in the ICU while Sally was at home. At the same time, Simon's whereabouts were still unknown. Despite all of what was happening, Anne must not fall down! She was a mother and it was her duty to protect them at all costs!

Emily and Kevin exchanged looks. Kevin then nodded slightly at her, and Emily immediately followed Anne. Nobody was relieved to see Anne go out alone in her current state.

As she walked out of the hospital, Anne gazed at the heavy traffic on the street. For a minute, she closed her eyes tiredly.

'Eddy, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. If I have to give my life to you, I will just do this so you could be safe.' Then, like a marionette, Anne walked forward stiffly. When she saw a porridge shop, she sat down and ordered for herself. She needed to eat in order to have the strength to hold on.

Looking at her from afar, Emily did not dare to disturb her. At the sight of Anne finally eating, she heaved a sigh of relief. When Anne was done, Emily saw her walking back to the hospital with a bowl of porridge. She knew immediately that it was for Kevin.

Anne returned to the hospital with food. Looking at her pale face, Kevin stood up and hugged her tight.

He understood the reason why Anne still remembered to eat. It was not because she was hungry, but because she was dispirited.

She would not allow herself to fall down. She had to be strong and take care of Eddy!

On the other side, Selma left Sally at home. She then came to the hospital to personally meet with the attending physician.

Although the doctor was busy, he did not dare refuse the distinguished guest of AN Group.

Selma wore sunglasses to hide her red and swollen eyes. "Doctor, you're aware that the Fu Family's blood type is rare, right? Have you seen anything like it? And what's the possibility of replaceing a match?" she asked while looking at the doctor intently.

After a long silence, the doctor frowned and shook his head. "Mrs. Selma, I don't want to hide anything from you. I've been a doctor for over forty years, but I have never encountered someone who had that extremely rare blood type."

This was precisely the reason why nobody anticipated that Eddy would have a recessive heart disease after he got leukemia.

Hearing the doctor's words, Selma stood dumbfounded in silence. She did not even notice that the doctor had already left.

His words were like a pair of razor sharp scissors, cutting off all her last hopes.

She had to make a choice now!

There was no other choice.

The doctor said that if Eddy got better, he could live for a couple more years. This could buy them some time in the future to figure out what was needed to be done. On the contrary, if he did not get better now, they had to declare an emergency. Without a suitable heart for him, he was on the brink of death.

Who would dare to wait that long? Who could possibly have the courage to face the death of the child?

But now, she had no choice but to do what she had on mind.

At that moment, Selma clenched her teeth and left with all her remaining hopes. She did not even dare to look at Eddy while she was in the hospital in fear that she would not be able to bear it anymore. Meanwhile, Anne and Kevin stayed in the hospital day and night to take care of Eddy. Unfortunately, Eddy's condition had not improved in the past two days. Even though Anne and Kevin were physically and mentally exhausted, they did not give up.

Besides, they were afraid when they woke up, they would face an empty room and would never see their son again.

"Anne, you may sleep for a while. I'm here. Eddy will be fine," comforted Kevin.

Anne did not respond. She just lowered her head as if she did not hear any sound from the outside.

With a sigh, Kevin looked at Eddy through the glass window. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock. "Anne, come quick! Eddy has opened his eyes!" he shouted, his voice full of surprise.

His words made Anne stood up abruptly that she almost fell on the glass.

"Eddy, you're awake," she said as she peered through the glass window.

Eddy opened his eyes slowly until they were wide enough to see his mother. Although he could not hear Anne, he could feel his mother's tenderness and joy. He then nodded at her in response. With red eyes, Anne bit her lips hard that it bled. Her mouth was now filled of blood. Even so, she didn't relax.

"Doctor!" Kevin shouted, not daring to delay the slightest.

The doctor hurried in and checked Eddy's condition. When he came out, he announced happily, "Congratulations! Eddy's condition is improving!"
