Dr. Jonathan Rivers arrived with his team of specialists, their expressions professionally neutral as they approached Emma's bed.
"Alpha Stone," Dr. Rivers greeted respectfully. "We need to examine Emma now."
Ethan nodded, reluctantly releasing Emma from his embrace. "I'll be right outside, Emmy. The doctors need to check you."
I maneuvered my wheelchair to the side as Ethan followed the medical team out. The moment the door closed behind them, I pulled out my phone.
My fingers flew across the screen as I typed a message to Sarah: "Is it done?"
The reply came seconds later: "Oxygen disconnected. She's unconscious."
I smiled, satisfaction coursing through me. That old wretch Evelyn Winters wouldn't live to reveal her precious evidence. I had worked too hard, sacrificed too much, to let her destroy everything now.
Lily Winters deserved her fate. That brat had been nothing but an obstacle, just like her mother. And now, with Evelyn out of the way, my position would be secure once more.
I glanced at Emma, who had dropped her pitiful act the moment Ethan left. She was playing with her tablet, completely unbothered by her supposed kidney rejection.
"Remember to look sick when they come back," I reminded her sharply.
Emma rolled her eyes but nodded. She understood what was at stake – our comfortable life, our status, everything we had built through years of careful manipulation.
I turned my attention back to my phone, sending another message: "Make sure she doesn't wake up. Ever."
(Ethan's POV)
I followed Dr. Rivers into his private office, my wolf pacing anxiously beneath my skin. The scent of antiseptic burned my sensitive nose, but I barely noticed, my thoughts consumed with Emma's condition.
"What's happening with her?" I demanded, my Alpha presence filling the small room.
Dr. Rivers gestured for me to sit, but I remained standing, too agitated to be still.
"Emma's body is rejecting the transplanted kidney," he explained, his voice calm and clinical. "It's not uncommon with transplants, but in her case, the rejection is particularly aggressive."
My jaw tightened. "What are our options?"
"She needs a new kidney, Alpha Stone. Preferably from a blood relative, which would significantly increase the chances of compatibility."
I ran a hand through my hair, frustration building within me. "Emma has no blood relatives available. Her father is unknown, and Victoria is not a match – we tested her during the first transplant."
