Zoe fell asleep very quickly.
Samuel covered her well with quilt, and left the ward noiselessly, and he saw Joseph was wiping his tears secretly standing in front of the window of the corridor.
He sighed slightly and scooped up Joseph in front of him.
“Do you think of Lucas again?”
With Samuel's words, Joseph couldn't help but start crying on his shoulder.
“Daddy, do you think Lucas will come back? Where did he go? Why isn't there any news? Our Green Family has so many resources, but why can't we find his whereabouts? I am so afraid, Daddy. What if Lucas won't come back?”
Samuel's nose twitched.
He pressed Joseph's head tightly on his shoulder, with two eyes already moist.
“No, Lucas will be fine and he will come back some day.”
“But I missed him very much. Sister Zoe will have the operation soon and Lucas always cares about her illness. Why doesn’t he come back at this time?”
Joseph cried with his body trembling.
Since Lucas disappeared, Joseph seemed to have changed a lot. Except that he smiled in front of Zoe, his look at other times was always distressing.
Samuel felt sad, but he could only comfort Joseph and said, “After Zoe recovers from the illness, we will go to find Lucas together. Don’t cry. You have grown up. You should believe Lucas will come back and miracle will happen for sure. God will not be so cruel.”
He didn't know if these words were said to Joseph or to himself. The current feeling of weakness was really driving him crazy.
Unexpectedly, Joseph fell asleep after crying on Samuel's shoulder for a while.
After coming to the US, this boy didn't have a good rest. He was always worried about Zoe and strained his heartstrings too tightly. Now he was exhausted after venting, and gradually fell asleep.
Samuel lifted him back to the ward, put him together with Zoe and covered the quilt.
At this moment, the doctor came in.
“Mr. Green, I have something to talk with you”
“It's about Zoe?”
Samuel's heart suddenly tightened.
The doctor nodded.
Samuel asked the bodyguard to take care of the two children, and then he entered the office with the doctor.
The doctor closed the door and handed a file to Samuel.
“What's this?”
“This is a kidney donation voluntary letter we received a few days ago, and the donor has already sent us her bone marrow
matching, who has repeated over and over again that you are not allowed to donate your kidney, but we have checked her matching type, which is not suitable.”
Samuel was shocked by the doctor's words.
“Who is the donor?”
The doctor shook his head and said, “The donor's identity is very mysterious, but seems very influential and powerful. We are
not qualified to make investigations, but the donor was repeating over and over again that you are not allowed to have the operation. I am wondering if she is you relative or friend.”
Samuel was stunned.
Who would stop him from the operation?
He thought of Zama for the first time, but it seemed not to be so after he thought carefully about it. He called Jason in order to
prove it. The news he got was that Zama cursed and said why she would donate kidney to strangers.
Samuel frowned again.
If it was not Zama, who would it be?
He opened the consent letter for donating surgery, but was stunned by the signature on it.
To his surprise, it was his mother Laurel Green.
Samuel's was extremely shocked.
He had always thought that Mrs. Green disagreed with his marriage with Nicole and even had no reaction towards Lucas’ disappearance. He had never thought she would offer to donate her kidney for Zoe.
Samuel's eyes suddenly became a little moist.
It seemed that his mother knew everything he did.
“I see, doctor. Please allow me to go out to make a phone call.”
Samuel's emotion was a bit unstable.
Samuel's words made Mrs. Green more emotional.
“You never tell me anything, except that about Zama. I didn’t intend to take her side, but I only felt that in your heart, she should have replaced me as a mother at the earliest. I didn't want you to feel sad and awkward. Besides, everything she had done was for your good, and she wouldn't do you harm, so I just let it go. Regarding to Nicole, it's mom's fault. Mom failed to understand your feelings for the first time and that it has to be only her for you. But as for my grandson, I feel distressed.
Mrs. Green choked with sobs.
Samuel had never talked with mom like this, and he didn't even know his mother had such thoughts in her mind. He said sobbing, “Mom, I will find Lucas back, I will.”
“Mom believes in you but as for Zoe's operation, you have to listen to mom. Mom is ageing and has lived for a long time. It doesn’t matter to give my granddaughter a kidney, but you are still young and you have a long way to go. Listen to mom, and don't scramble with mom. Just let mom to do something for my granddaughter.”
Mrs. Green wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and said, “You have such a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to look for Nicole, look for your son, and take care of your daughter. Do you have so much energy? Mom may be old now, so I just want to go back to China to see you and to be surrounded by children and grandchildren. Even if you drive mom away in the future, mom won't leave.”
“I won't. You are always my mom. How can I drive you away?”
Samuel suddenly felt warm in his heart, filled with maternal love that he had lost for so many years.
He had never lost it, but only didn’t know.
After talking with Mrs. Green, Samuel said in a low voice, “Mom, I don’t want to scramble with you, but your marrow match is not appropriate. Until now, only mine is appropriate, so I can't escape.”
“How is this possible? I am her biological grandmother!”
Obviously, Mrs. Green couldn't accept this news, so she raised a little her voice subconsciously.
Samuel comforted her and said, “Mom, not every family member's is appropriate.”
“But mom doesn't want to see you...”
“lam also a father, mom. Towards Zoe, I am in the same mood as you are.”
Samuel’s words finally made Mrs. Green fall apart.
She cried with the phone in hand.
“Why not me? Why is mine inappropriate? Why?”
Samuel felt sad and distressed in his heart, but he had to comfort Mrs. Green. It took a long time for her to calm down and she told Samuel to take care of himself. Then the two hung up the phone.
After calming down a little, Samuel returned to the doctor's office.
“Doctor, just assume this hasn't happened. And still prepare the surgery for Zoe and me.
Samuel said lightly, but the doctor gave Samuel a report, which made Samuel's eyes suddenly narrowed.
