Selina had managed to get some sleep, but she hadn't slept for long.
When Selina opened her eyes, she saw the eyebags under Matthew's eyes. She touched them with her fingertip and said, "You didn't sleep well."
"That's right."
After Matthew spoke, he kissed her forehead. "Why don't you go back? You don't have to stay with me in the hospital."
He was afraid that Selina would not be able to take it.
Selina shook her head. "No, I want to stay with you. You can't keep me away."
Matthew looked helpless.
"I'll wait for you, and I'll take good care of you after you are done with your surgery." She tried really hard to smile with her lips.
Matthew's eyes gave off a look of surprise.
"Have you thought this through?"
"No, but I don't want you to live with guilt for the rest of your life." "Selina." Matthew could not help but hold her hand. "You can rest assured that I will be fine. It's just a minor operation. Once the operation is completed, I will accompany you for the rest of my life."
"Okay." Selina nodded her head.
When Matthew went to Saoirse's ward, it was only then that he found out that Saoirse had already woken up.
"William, you want to donate your bone marrow to me?" This was the first sentence that Saoirse asked when she saw Matthew.
Matthew held his breath.
"Yes, Saoirse." He stared at her and said, "Don't worry. You'll get better soon. Just relax and don't worry."
"Why are you doing this, William?" Saoirse asked.
Matthew did not answer.
"It's not because you love me, right?" Saoirse asked.
Matthew's tone was gentle. "Saoirse, don't think too much."
Her eyes were filled with emotion. "William, you are doing this because you feel guilty towards me, don't you? You don't need to feel guilty."
"I'm going to get a doctor to arrange this. We will have the surgery today." Matthew did not answer
Saoirse.
The operation was supposed to be performed later that day, but something had happened.
The bone marrow that originally matched with hers was suddenly rejected, which meant that Matthew could no longer donate his bone marrow to Saoirse.
When he heard about this, Ludwik and Selina heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Matthew's expression had darkened.
"Mr. Perry, your bone marrow is no longer suitable. The hospital is urgently looking for matching bone marrow."
"Hurry up," Matthew said and then proceeded to make a call.
He called his subordinates to initiate a global search for a bone marrow that matched Saoirse's.
There was still no progress up until that evening. All of the other bone marrow samples had a strong rejection reaction with the Saoirse's body.
Matthew went to find the doctor.
The doctor said, "Mr. Perry, the patient's health is getting worse by the minute. I don't think she has any will to live, and she even wants to die."
Matthew furrowed his thick eyebrows.
He went to find Saoirse.
Saoirse's expression was dull. "William, you don't have to find any bone marrow for me. I know my physical condition. Every other bone marrow is useless to me."
Matthew stared into Saoirse's eyes. "Saoirse, listen to me, you can't do this. You have to live well for me. I will continue to find suitable bone marrow for you. You must hold on."
Saoirse didn't say anything.
The next day, they received more bad news.
Saoirse's condition had become more serious, and her other organs had been affected as well.
