Elias put his hands in the pockets of his white gown. "According to the cardiology department, probably three years."
"Three years..." Jared tightened his clench of fists.
It had been shorted so much.
This heart was supposed to last as long as an ordinary one.
"Yes, three years. If you want to continue to live, you must find another suitable heart for you," Elias said while showing three fingers.
Ben's eyes reddened. "How could it be possible? Mr. Farrell had special health status and blood type. It's challenging to find him a heart. Or he wouldn't have searched for twenty-four years before. Finding a suitable one in three years is just impossible."
"I can't do anything. If he can't find one, he'll have to wait for the death." Elias threw up his hands casually.
Seeing that, Ben was furious. "Mind your language! You are a doctor. How can you ask your patient to wait for the death?"
"Or what?" Elias looked at him indifferently. "I'm a doctor, but I'm not an organ manufacturer. Without the heart, no doctor could save him. I'm just telling the truth."
"You!"
"Enough!" Jared rubbed between his eyebrows and snapped, "Ben, calm down. He's right. Without a heart, no one can save me. All I can do is to wait for the death."
"I know. I just don't like his tone." Ben looked at Elias in anger while pointing at him.
Elias pushed up his glasses. "You should think about how to find a suitable heart for your boss instead of blaming me for my heartless language. After all, your boss has only three years. He has to compete against Death every day of the three years. Probably, you'll be lucky to find a heart. Then your boss can live on. That's what I want to tell you. Please excuse me."
Then he was about to leave the ward.
Jared stopped him. "Wait!"
"Yes, Mr. Farrell?" Elias paused his pace, tilted his head, and glanced at Jared.
Jared pressed his thin lips tightly. "You can't spread the news about my heart problem. Or..."
Before he finished his words, Elias interrupted him. "No worries. I'm a doctor, so it's fundamental to keep the patient's secret. Besides, I have no interest in spreading your news. Amber asked me about it, but I didn't tell her, did I, Ben?"
Ben sneered.
It was because he stopped Elias that he didn't tell Amber.
"Amber?" Jared was taken aback. He hurriedly asked in an unconcealed anxious tone, "How's Amber doing now?"
"Ask him. He knows it well." Elias raised his chin to point at Ben. Then he walked out of the ward.
Jared and Ben were left alone in the ward.
Ben looked into Jared's eyes with questions. He had to answer reluctantly, "She's fine. You've saved her, so she's safe and sound. How could she not be OK?"
Jared could tell he was unhappy with Amber, frowning deeply. He said unhappily, "Are you blaming Amber?"
Ben didn't hide his dislike to Amber. Hence, he immediately admitted it when Jared asked. "Right. I'm blaming her now. Mr. Farrell, you've risked your life for her several times. Not to mention the previous times, you only have three-year life left this time. How can I treat her nicely?"
Jared stared at him coldly. "You've been working for me for several years. I can tell you are blaming her because you care about me. I'll forgive you this time. If you talk bad about Amber in my presence again, you can't blame me for being rude to you."
"Mr. Farrell?" Ben widened his eyes, looking at him in disbelief.
Jared said coldly, "This matter had nothing to do with Amber. I took the initiative to rescue her. I also jumped off the cliff myself. You can't push all the blames on her. Ben, since when have you become so irrational?"
Ben parted his lips after hearing his words. He couldn't utter any word until a moment later. "I'm sorry, Mr. Farrell..."
Jared raised his hand. "Forget it. That's all for this matter. You can't mention it again in the future. You must treat Amber nicely. All right?"
"Yes, Mr. Farrell," Ben lowered his head to suppress his reluctance and answered.
Jared rubbed his temples and asked, "Where is Amber now?"
