Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 178

Joy couldn't hold back her tears. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Allison. "Ms. Allison... if Peyton really..."

Before she could finish, Allison cut her off immediately. "No! Peyton will be fine!"

Joy choked up, pressing her lips tightly together to hold back the tears.

Allison was distracted the entire afternoon. She took a moment to make a phone call.

"Still no match for the bone marrow?"

The person on the other end replied, "Ms. Allison, we're doing everything we can to find a match. We'll notify you the moment we have news!"

...

In the evening, Joshua came to pick Allison up from work, and they went to dinner together. In the upscale restaurant, the piano music was soft and soothing. The wine and steak were top-notch, with roses and candlelight enhancing the romantic vibe.

However, Allison was miles away, her steak growing cold as she didn't touch her knife and fork.

Joshua looked at her with concern. "Allie, is there something on your mind?"

Allison snapped back to reality, looking up to him, and replying softly, "I took on a case the other day. The client is a nineteen-year-old boy who lost his parents. He only has his little sister to rely on."

She sighed, her eyes filled with sadness. "He dropped out of school early to work and support his sister's education, but fate played a cruel joke on him. His sister has been diagnosed with leukemia. She's only eleven, and the doctors say if they don't find a matching bone marrow soon, she might not make it through the winter."

Joshua suggested, "Have you thought about offering a high reward? In situations like this, a big reward can quickly bring forth a matching donor."

Allison's hand clenched slightly on the table. She shook her head, frowning, "I thought about it, but I'm worried it might backfire. Offering a high reward could attract unscrupulous people. You know, those in the black market will do anything for money."
