Chapter 53
At that moment, inside Helena’s room, Barney finished his examination, his already grim expression deepening further.
Dr. Gibson, how is Helena!” Edward asked, his voice laced with tension.
The thought that all of this was Rosalie’s doing made his blood boil, rage and murderous intent surging uncontrollably within him
Edward thought. That wretch, Bella, has been dead for years, and yet she still finds ways to haunt me. She left behind this scourge of a daughter, Rosalie, who nearly cost Helena her life. One day, I swear, I’ll send that brat straight to hell to rot alongside her mother
His eyes darkened with unconcealed malice and murderous rage, as if the girl he was cursing wasn’t his own flesh and blood, but a sworn enemy he was determined to destroy.
Barney’s unhurried voice broke the heavy silence. “Ms. Graham’s condition is far from optimistic. Aside from maintaining her current treatment with medication, our only real option is a heart transplant. Even if she undergoes the surgery, she’ll have to take anti–rejection drugs for the rest of her life.
Claudia, who had been standing quietly at the side, let out a soft sob. Tears streamed down her face as she wept helplessly. She had no solutions, no power to change Helena’s fate.
If Edward hadn’t married into the Talley family and taken control of Talley Group, she would never have been able to afford Helena’s treatments or medication.
But as for the heart transplant, finding a matching donor was no easy feat. Helena had been on the waiting list for so long, and yet, the right heart had never come.
Through her sobs, Claudia choked out the question trembling on her lips. “If there’s no donor, does that mean Helena has no choice but to wait for death?”
Barney hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Not necessarily. Recently, Dr. Rotello published a paper on cardiac surgery proposing a new theoretical approach.
“Instead of a traditional heart transplant, this method could potentially replace the need for a donor by surgically restructuring the heart itself. If successful, it could not only correct congenital heart defects but also eliminate the risk of transplant rejection”
As soon as Barney finished speaking, both Edward and Claudia’s eyes lit up with renewed hope.
