Shannon retorted, “Do you think you would survive if I took the blame? If it weren’t for me, you reallywouldn’t have had a chance!

The fact that the hospital dared to perform this surgery a

and broadcast it live indicated that Lea was confident to save Donna

Shannon wanted to ask why Donna, who wasn’t her biological mother, claimed to be her mother,Who was she really? Who were her biological parents! But now wasn’t the time to complicatematters further.

As for her biological parents, having a mother like Donna was already a disaster. Father, mother,any family ties.. she didn’t want any of it. Shannon bit her lip, swallowing all her questions andemotions.

*You ungrateful brat Donna raised her hand to point at her, but she was too weak. Her hand liftedhalfway and then dropped back down. If she had the strength, she would have slapped Shannon.

Donna struggled to say, “You heartless brat, II… Call Dr. Dunlap right now! Tell him you’ll confessand take the blame. Ask him to get me out of here!”

Shannon’s eyes widened, her gaze turning cold and distant with disappointment

Even now, Donna wanted her to take the fall for Helen. It was clear that Donna was willing tosacrifice Shannon’s life for her own survival. Thankfully, they weren’t biologically related. If theywere, Shannon would have died of shame for having such a mother,

Donna shouted, “What are you still standing here? Pick up the phone and call him!”

“Don’t you get it yer?” Shannon held the test report in front of Donna. The reason Peter is sureyou’re going to die is because the kidney they gave you is incompatible with you!”

She continued. “And you never had kidney cancer. They made it all up to control you and forced meto take the blame for Helen. They removed one of your kidneys to ensure your death!”

Shannon hadn’t intended to reveal all this, wanting Donna to focus on her treatment instead. Butnow, she had no choice.

Donna was stunned for a moment, then her anger flared up even more. “You filthy liar! You’remaking up these crazy stories just to avoid saving your mother. I raised you for nothing, youungrateful wretch”

The words “ungrateful wretch” and “Tilthy liar kept ringing in Shannon’s cars, fueling her rage,

“Then why didn’t you just leave years ago! Why did you come back? Shannon asked, barely able tocontain herself In her heart, she wanted to ask, “Why do you insist on claiming to be my motherwhen you aren’t?

Donna was taken aback. She had a grown daughter, beautiful and attending a good high school.Donna thought she would need to rely on Shannon for the rest of her life.

Donna said sternly, “I am your mother! Have you no conscience?”

Shannon was infuriated.

Donna warned, “Shannon, if you dare disobey me, refuse to save me, or show me no respect, I’llexpose you to the medial You’ll ruin your reputation and your future!”

Shannon closed her eyes, too angry to respond.

She recalled what Lea had told her at the police station, saying Donna was the only mother sheknew who completely lacked matemal nature and was just a selfish woman,

Another wave of intense pain hit Donna, and she screamed hysterically, “Call Dr. Dunlap now…hurry…

Suddenly, Lea pushed the door open and entered, exuding a cold aura. She also had a stern andicy gaze.

She bent down, picked up

the phone from the floor, and placed it in Donna’s hand. She said coldly. “Call him.

She didn’t actually want to save Donna. It was mainly to deal with Helen and Fraley Medical,Besides, Shannon still cared about her “mother’s life.

Donna was terrified by Lea’s cold tone and fierce gaze, wanting nothing more than to escape. Shehesitated, then struggled to dial Peter’s number.

Shannon watched in some surprise but said nothing.

Lorrand glanced at Shannon with sympathy and then looked at Donna with disdain.
