His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 119

After Tessa finished gathering the details, Lucas took out his phone.

"Ms. Yates, that should be everything. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. How about we add each other on WhatsApp? It'll be easier to stay in touch."

"Sounds good." Tessa took out her phone and opened the app. "I'll scan your code."

It was standard practice for lawyers to add clients on WhatsApp.

Once they exchanged contact details, Lucas opened a food delivery app.

His right hand was completely gone, with only his wrist on the other hand wrapped in white gauze.

Using only his left hand, he fumbled to scroll through the app, looking for a meal.

Tessa glanced at the screen. "Let me help you with that."

Lucas gave a sheepish smile. "That would be great, Ms. Yates. Thanks so much."

Tessa took his phone, but as soon as she looked at the screen, she froze.

Every meal option was listed for under ten dollars.

She took a closer look at the app.

It was called Budget Bites.

Tessa had never seen meals so cheap.

Her brow furrowed slightly. With prices this low, there was no way the ingredients could be of good quality.

She could only guess what kind of food they were using.

Noticing her hesitation, Lucas grew confused. "Is something wrong, Ms. Yates? You can pick anything under ten bucks."

Tessa handed the phone back to him. "Actually, I just remembered—I saw a vendor downstairs at the hospital selling freshly packed meals for the same price. How about I grab one for you? It'll be faster than waiting for delivery, and you'll get to eat sooner."

"What? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

Tessa shook her head. "Not at all. It's just downstairs. Stay here for a bit."

With that, she stepped out of the hospital and into a nearby roadside restaurant.

She quickly pulled out her phone and messaged Jasmine on WhatsApp.

"Has Anne had lunch yet?"

Tessa's chest tightened.

She simply replied, "Okay."

However, she didn't accept the transfer.

The cold wind sliced through the air, tugging at her hair.

She stood by the flower bed at the hospital entrance with emotions swirling within her.

Behind her, Jasmine wiped her tears, her voice choked with sobs.

"Ms. Yates, the hospital just issued another critical condition notice for Anne. The doctor said they still haven't found a matching bone marrow donor.

"If they don't find one soon... she doesn't have much time left. Why is life so cruel to her? She's such a kind, sweet girl... Only 11 years old... Why is the universe so heartless?"

Jasmine's tears poured out uncontrollably, her body trembling with each sob.

Tessa's eyes also brimmed with tears, threatening to spill over.
