Chapter 404 He Must Not Take The Risk Again The next day, Kathleen received the results of thebonemarrow compatibility test. Leonard's bone marrow was not a match with Felicia's, which wasnot surprising. After all, when it came to bone marrow, even biological parents were often not amatch with their children. She then relayed the results to Kelly. “What should we do now?” Kelly feltterrible. Kathleen gazed at her coldly.

"You could consider explaining the truth to Leonard and have another child with him.

That way, you would have another chance at saving Felicia.” Kelly bit her lip.

"I." “It's for your daughter! Is it really so hard to do that?" Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly. Infact, Kelly had spent the entire night thinking about it,too.

I'd do anything for my daughter! “All right, I'll do it!” she declared. Standing up, she set out to talkto Leonard. The moment she said that,however, the door of the ward was pushed open. Leonardcame in, standing tall with a frosty expression on his handsome face. “I'll make a move first.”Kathleen turned around. “What's the test result?” Leonard gazed at her. “You're not a match,”answered Kathleen.

“I'm leaving.” With that, she turned to leave. Looking at Kelly impassively, Leonard asked in a heavytone, “So,what now?” “I'm thinking of trying the other suggestion given by Dr.

Johnson.” Kelly lowered her head. “Do you have the man's contact?” Leonard's voice was deep andhoarse. “What?” Kellywas stunned. “I meant your daughter's biological father.

You should have his contact, right? Aren't you still in love with him and unwilling to leave him?"Leonard's tone turned icy as his eyes darkened. Kellyfroze for a moment, pursing her lips.

After a brief pause, she stated, “Leonard, Felicia's biological father is actually...

you."

Leonard froze when he heard that.

Kelly bit her lip.

“It's true.

Her blood type is Rh-negative, same as yours.” Leonard merely gazed at her blankly. Tears rolleddown Kelly's cheeks.

“Nothing ever went on between me and that man.

It was all just an act.” Just an act? Leonard was overcome with confusion.

"Why would you do that?” Taking a deep breath, Kelly began to explain, “It's because of my family...”With that,she told him the truth about what really happened. Leonard said nothing for a long while.He was simply too shocked. Kelly waited for his response anxiously.

She had no idea what was going through his mind. “And you're telling me this now onlybecauseyou want to save Felicia's life?” Leonard asked coldly. Kelly nodded unhesitatingly. “Iunderstand now,” Leonard uttered through gritted teeth. With that said, he spun around and left.Kelly could not help but feel dumbfounded.

What does he understand? After leaving Felicia's ward, Leonard thought for a moment and wentstraight to seeSamuel. Kathleen happened to be changing the dressing on Samuel's wrist. “Haven'tyou ever heard of knocking?” Samuel asked disdainfully. “Go easy on him.

He's probably just received the shock of his life,” Kathleen teased. “What shock?” Samuel frowneddeeply. “Kelly's given birth to his daughter, whose name is Felicia.

Back then, Kelly didn't leave him because she had an affair with another man but because ofreasonsto do with her family,” Kathleen explained simply. Samuel remained expressionless.

“Then why does he look so depressed?” Kathleen shot a quick glance at Leonard before explaining,“Needless to say, he must haveasked Kelly if she was telling him the truth now only for the sake ofsaving Felicia, and she must have answered yes.

That should explain his gloomy state.”

Samuel finally understood.

"see

So, you're unhappy about the fact that Kelly told you about this because of her child and notbecause she loves you?” Leonard swallowed.

“Yes.” “She's already given birth to your daughter, and yet you care about such a trivial detail? Ifshedidn't love you, then why would she have chosen to have your child? Wouldn't it be easier just toget an abortion?” Samuel scoffed. “And is it based on this line of reasoning that you believeKathleen still has feelings for you, even though she lost her memories?” Leonard asked quietly.Samuel ignored him. “Leonard, there is no time to waste when it comes to treating Felicia'scondition

I might be able to delay it for a while, but her body might not be able to bear it for long,” Kathleenremarked asshe dressed Samuel's wound. Leonard nodded.

“I know that.” “There's another thing.” Kathleen frowned as she continued, “You'd better not befoolish.

If you're thinking of in vitro fertilization, you should know that the procedure would be very harshon Kelly'sbody.” Leonard was shocked by her words.

“But Kathleen—" “I'm only telling you the truth, even if you don't like to hear it,” Kathleeninterrupted in an icy tone. “That'snot what I mean.” Leonard felt rather embarrassed. “I'm a doctor,and I'm just telling you the facts.” Kathleen's expression remained chilly.

"If there's nothing else you want to understand, then go quickly and sort it out with Kelly.

She's distressed enough as it is because of Felicia.

Don't make things any harder for her.” “All right.” With a nod, Leonard left the room. Samuel gaveKathleen a long, meaningful look.

"You're pretty good at giving advice, aren't you?” “I was only laying out the facts for him sothat theyhave less to think about.

Most importantly, I don't want to waste time.

Felicia is about Desi's age.

If what happened to her is happening to my own daughter, I would be beyond anxious.

How would 1 still have the time to wait for a man to dilly-dally? He really shouldn't be giving Kellyanything more toworry about.” Samuel sat up straight.

"Kate, I promise I would never hold you back.” “I'll kick you if you dare do that,” stated Kathleen,narrowing her eyesat him. “I'd never let you have any reason to do that.

I'm going to prove it to you.” Samuel leaned closer to her. “You'd better keep your word, then,”Kathleen said with a scoff. “Of course,” Samuel confirmedwith a nod. “You should rest well and takecare of your injury.

I'm carrying on with my work.” Kathleen picked up her things and left the ward before Samuel couldsay anything else. He gaped at her disappearingfigure speechlessly. What a cool woman! Later inthe evening, Kathleen was treating a patient when her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at her phonescreen, she saw that it was Wynnie calling and picked up the call. “Hello, Mrs.

Macari.”

“Bad news, Kate.

Desi just disappeared! I just saw her playing in the courtyard before I left to get a drink of water.But when I came back, she was no longer there!” Wynnie's panicked voice rang out on the phone.Kathleen immediately stood up, grabbing hercoat and car keys.

“Got it.

I'm off to search for her now.” “Where would you be searching?” Wynnie asked anxiously. “If Desiwas kidnapped, the kidnapper would surely call either me orSamuel.” With that, Kathleen hung upand went off to Samuel's ward at once. Samuel had received Wynnie's call as well and was gettingdressed, ready to leave the room. However, Kathleen pushed him back.

“I know you're anxious, but you have to take your medication first, or you won't have time forthatlater.” She then handed him the medication. Samuel frowned slightly, but he could not refuse totake it since it was Kathleen who was giving it to him. Thus, he quickly swallowed it and stood up toleave. However, all of a sudden, he was hit by a rush of vertigo. Kathleen instantly wrapped her armsaround him, supporting him and helping him to lie down on the bed. “Kate...” Samuel uttereddrowsily. “You shouldn't move around too much, Samuel.

Get some rest here and wait for my news.” Kathleen leaned her forehead against his.
