Chapter 740
Elliot had no way of confirming that the maroon box he lost was in Charlie's hands.He also could not make sure that Wanda would follow his orders obediently.The reason he was telling her about this was so that he could use her to find out the whereabouts of the box.The theft of the box might have happened a long time ago, but it would still occasionally come up to torment him.That box was like a ticking time bomb, and he did not know when it would go off.He had thought about it for a long time but was still clueless.Who was the one who went into his study and took that box?If someone wanted to bring him down, they could reveal the information in the box at any time and ruin him!However, the person who took the box had never contacted him nor revealed the box's contents to the public.If that person did not want to harm him, then why did they take the box in the first place?It was such a pickle that he wondered if nobody had actually stolen the box, but there was a gl

"It would take at least an entire pint of blood."One pint… All they needed was two adults to donate blood.However, it was hard enough for them to find one donor. Where were they going to find two of them?Elliot could not allow Shea to donate her blood. He could not allow her to take that risk!Then, what would happen to Robert?He was the one who let Robert be born into this world. Did he truly have to watch as he died from this illness?Just as he was standing on the edge of hopelessness, Avery walked over."Mike found the blood." She had just gotten off the phone with Mike and immediately rushed over to tell them the news. "He found close to half a pint of blood. It's been sent to a hospital for testing right now. If it's a match, it can immediately be airflown here.""We still need over half a pint… I'll go search for it…" Elliot mumbled."Where are you going? It's already dark out," Avery said as she grabbed his arm. She did not want him running around anymore. "We coul

Wesley, who was standing next to Shea, interjected and said, "Is a pint all they need?"Chad frowned and said bitterly, "It's easier said than done! Even if we find someone whose blood is a match for Robert, we could get at most a little over a pint from them. Mike already found close to half a pint from someone in Bridgedale. We're still over half a pint short."Shea's chest rose and fell rapidly after hearing his words."Do we just need a little over half a pint of blood to save Robert now?""That's right, but it won't be easy to find. Not that many people have this blood type to begin with, and the donor needs to be an adult between the ages of 18 and 55…"Shea grabbed Wesley's arm, then said to Chad, "Wesley and I will go look for it."Chad was confused, then said, "Go home and get some rest, Shea. You don't need to worry about this. It's already dark outside. If there's any information on a source, we'll be the first to find out."He understood that Shea wanted to help, but

Shea's brows instantly furrowed. She anxiously approached Wesley and held both of his hands."My brother definitely won't take my blood… He knew that I could save Robert, but he never asked for my help… That's exactly why I need to save Robert. I'm begging you, Wesley."Her voice was soft as she begged."If I die, then I'll marry you in my next life. How's that, Wesley?" She held his hands tightly, then suddenly beamed and said, "I don't think I'll die, though. Mrs. Scarlet says I've got nine lives. No matter what sickness I get, the doctors could always cure me."As Wesley gazed at the smile on her face and the light in her eyes, his hardened heart gradually began to melt.He asked himself why he liked being with Shea. Was it not because of her pure kindness?In her European-style mansion, Wanda was wearing a silk robe and, after taking a sip of red wine to calm her nerves, dialed Charlie's number.She got to know Charlie through Chelsea.They had dinner the night before last

Avery's heart tightened as she was filled with a sense of loss.She had just seen the doctor's text message before Mike called, but did not even have time to be happy before bad news came her way."It's alright," she muttered. "I'll give the hospital a call.""Okay. Did I wake you?""You didn't. I was already up. Thanks for working so hard the past few days." Avery threw back the covers and got out of bed. She planned to go to the hospital right away. "By the way, the blood bank sent over a little over half a pint of blood just now. I think that should be enough.""That's great! If that's the case, then I'll get ready to head back," Mike said."Alright. I'm going to the hospital to check things out now.""Okay. Please take care of yourself! Don't pass out before Robert gets better," Mike instructed. "I shouldn't call you at this time, but I wouldn't have been at ease unless I did.""I wasn't sleeping that well anyway."Avery said a few more words to him, then hung up the phone
Chapter 745
Elliot could not accept his son leaving this world, because he was the one who forced Avery to have this child.From the moment of conception, to the countless check-ups and his eventual birth, Elliot had poured in all his affection to this child."If anything happens to Robert, even if you don't blame me, I still wouldn't bother you ever again.""Nor would I bother the kids," he thought to himself, but did not say these words.Hayden and Layla did not acknowledge him as their father.Even if there was nothing left but a piece of glass between them, Elliot had a feeling that the two children might never acknowledge him.His words made Avery feel peculiarly upset.Robert was still alive! They were talking as if he was already dead.Avery did not speak, so Elliot turned to glance at her.When he saw her haggard complexion and lack of energy, he quickly pulled her into his arms and rested her head on his shoulder."Get some sleep. Robert will be fine. There's no use in worrying
Chapter 746
When the call went through, the blood bank's manager said, "The staff on duty were the ones who received it. I asked them about it and they said that the person who sent the blood didn't leave their contact information. I'm guessing it was a good samaritan that wanted to stay anonymous!"Where in the world were all of these anonymous good samaritans coming from?Once Elliot was done with the call, Avery said, "Let's go find that good samaritan!"Now that Robert's condition was stable, there was nothing they could do at the hospital."The donor didn't leave a name." Elliot's hawk-like eyes rested on Avery as he asked, "Don't you think it's strange?"Avery seemed to have something on her mind."When Wesley brought that bag of blood, he said that a good samaritan donated it anonymously.""Do you think that this half a pint of blood was also from Wesley?"Avery's lashes fluttered lightly. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. If it really was from Wesley, then why didn't he j
Chapter 747
Both Wesley's and Shea's phones were turned off.It was clear that the good samaritan who donated their blood was Shea.Shea had given Robert close to an entire pint of blood.An adult could donate at most half a pint at a time. Shea should not be donating blood, to begin with, but ended up donating more than the usual amount expected from a regular person!How could her body possibly handle that?There was only one possible reason why both their phones were off, and it was that something happened to Shea. Wesley must not have been able to handle the consequences of his actions and decided to flee."I'll call Shea's bodyguard!" Mrs. Scarlet's eyes reddened as she fumbled with her phone with trembling hands.If Elliot were not exhausted from this entire ordeal with Robert, she would have called him last night to confirm.He had never allowed Shea to go somewhere far away with someone else.She should have been alert.However, Shea had never lied to her!Mrs. Scarlet was anxio
