Benji was stunned. Before he had even said anything, Rickard noticed that something happened to Hesper… However, it wasn't Hesper who was in trouble this time.
"It's the young master… Young master has been diagnosed with leukemia."
Rickard frowned. The first thought in his mind was that it was impossible, but Benji had no reason to lie.
"Both you and Ms. Rivera are unqualified to provide marrow even if you were matched. We, along with the Lanes, are looking for a match for the bone marrow transplant."
Hearing bad news immediately after he woke up, Rickard realized that a lot had happened while he was unconscious. Benji told him everything while he read the documents.
"The leader of Daybreak is Nathaniel?"
Rickard paused. From the information, Hesper and Nathaniel seemed to have a good relationship. If Nathaniel had been manipulating her, she wouldn't be alright learning about it.
There was betrayal, and there was Renfrew's condition. It was a huge mess.
However, he didn't expect Benji to say. "Ms. Rivera is currently working at Lane Holdings. The acceptance rate there is very high, so I'm guessing they're going to make a big move soon."
That was something unexpected, but he wasn't surprised. Hesper was a flower that always strived to climb higher. If troubles could discourage her, she wouldn't be where she was now.
The only problem they couldn't solve was Renfrew's condition.
Rickard didn't know what to do. Leukemia wasn't a mild sickness. Even if they found a bone marrow donor who matched his, the surgeries weren't a hundred percent successful.
