Selina, Matthew, Kylin, Preslie and Ruth were all very restless. They woke up to dreary days and had sleepless nights.
Yesseca also came to realize that her condition wasn't as trivial as they had told her
But every time she asked them, they all told her the same thing. Her condition was a minor one and that she needed lots of rest.
Sheldon was in Agaphen City today.
Some time ago Sheldon had gone to Switzerland on a business trip. While he was there he had some bread that he really enjoyed.
Sheldon had brought some back.
He wanted to bring it to Preslie to see if she could recreate it.
Sheldon believed that if they could reproduce it here, then it would sell really well.
When he entered the bakery, he learned that neither Yesseca or Preslie had come in weeks. Ruth had been running the store by herself this whole time.
Sheldon was shocked.
"They haven't come in to work in weeks?"
Could they have decided to spend some time in the United States to learn some new recipes after they won that award?
In any case, Sheldon asked Ruth about them, but she hesitated to answer.
Sheldon's heart sank when he saw how down Ruth looked.
He then said sternly, "Ruth! Tell me what happened!"
Although Ruth had moved to Agaphen City, Sheldon was a major in Nashaland. Faced with his fierce demeanor, Ruth immediately told Sheldon everything.
Sheldon was shocked.
"Yesseca has a heart condition? And she needs a heart transplant?"
Ruth nodded and pleaded, "Mr Hawls, you're a high-ranking person in Nashaland. Surely you have a large network that can help find Yesseca a matching heart."
"What about her sister and brother-in-law? They're very powerful people here, can't they help?" Sheldon asked.
Ruth told him the conditions needed for a heart to be a match for Yesseca. Sheldon frowned.
