Chapter 221
Eleanor didn’t know how to respond, she pursed her lips and chose not to bother him with any more words.
Ethan sat for a while, but finding it dull, he stood up and left.
That night, Eleanor’s dreams were no longer about repeatedly entering the campus looking for Garett, but of a scene where Garett shot himself in the head at a gravesite.
He aimed at his own head, without hesitation, and fired that shot…
This time, there was no one to save him. Blood splattered on the tombstone, staining her portrait in red.
The moment Eleanor opened her eyes, she felt a heavy pain in her chest and couldn’t wait to go back.
However, in the empty room, no one came in to check on her, leaving her lying on the bed, unable to move.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that, after the nursing staff helped her with routine cleaning. George walked in with a medical kit
“Ms. Shultz, starting today, I will be giving you rehabilitation massages,” he said.
After George placed the medical kit on the table, he took out stenle gloves from it and put them on. As he turned to give Eleanor a massage, he noticed her red and swollen eyes.
His expression immediately darkened, “Ms. Shultz, if you keep crying like this, your eyes will never heal”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor blinked at him, “How do you know there’s something wrong with my eyes…
George rolled his eyes at her, 7 am a doctor, I know about the aliments in your body. Moreover, I had seen your medical report before performing your heart transplant surgery”
Eleanor was confused now. Why had George seen her medical reports?
Noticing the confusion in her eyes, George patiently explained, Two years ago, the president of the Laurence Group personally called me, asking me to help you find a compatible heart from all over the world. I had him send me your medical reports and blood samples..
Hearing the president of the Laurence Group Eleanor’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but her expression was much calmer than before.
She had suspected that George was the heart specialist Bernard had contacted when she heard Ethan call George by his name.
What she hadn’t expected was that he had sent George her medical reports and blood samples, and that George would end up saving her..
As George sat down by her bed, he raised his hand with the sterile gloves on, and while massaging her arm, he continued, “Although the report was not much of use, the DNA extracted from the blood sample enabled your sister to find you…
Sister?
The sister Eleanor had relied on since childhood was Haley
But it was clear that George was not referring to Hailey. What was going on?
She opened her mouth and, with all her strength, asked him, “What sister?”
George stopped massaging and looked at her. “Didn’t Ethan tell you?”
Eleanor blinked, “No..”
Upon hearing this, George sneered, “He probably did something so outrageous that he doesn’t dare to mention your sister’s name.”
Eleanor’s eyes widened as she stared at George, hoping to learn the truth from him.
Seeing Eleanor’s gaze, George put away his mocking expression and explained to her:
“Your sister is five years older than you. When she was little, she was holding you while fleeing to a foreign country and somehow lost you. She has been looking for you ever since but with no success… Later, she was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and suffered for a few years. Unable to bear the pain, she decided to end her life through euthanasia. Before making this decision, she signed an or gan donation agreement. It just so happened that the president of the Laurence Group had previously asked me to help find a heart, I compared your blood sample with hers, and to my surprise, you turned out to be her sister. She was desperate for me to take her back to our home country to find you, but then she found out that you were in the late stages of heart failure and about to die… Blood tests showed that she was the most compatible donor, and in her eagerness to save you and to avoid Ethan, she chose to end her life early.
Before her death, she asked me to take her heart to save you. But when I got to your hospital, you were already dead. I was going to give up, but Ethan, who arrived at the hospital, insisted that I perform the heart transplant surgery for you upon learning of your sister’s dying wish. I didn’t have any hopes, but Iined anyway, never thinking that you would actually survive
As for why he swapped your body with someone else’s from the crematorium, it was because he knew that a person whose heart had been taken out could not be revived, and although there was no hope for you either, this was his last hope. He also saw a man outside the crematorium who seemed deeply attached to you, and in order to possess your sister’s heart exclusively, he secretly switched you out, letting your sister be cremated in your place.”
