Chapter 612
Esther remained under the influence of anesthesia, and she had yet to wake up.
Meanwhile, Jasper grew annoyed with the nurses who attempted to flirt with him. He looked for the head nurse, Jordyn Bancroft, and hinted that she should manage her staff.
In a room adjacent to Esther’s, Mandy slowly opened her eyes, feeling an inexplicable pain as she tried to move. She lifted her clothes and broke into a cold sweat upon seeing the medical gauze covering her source of pain.
Wasn’t the plan for her to pretend? Why did she have a wound? Could her liver have really been harvested?
As this unsettling thought crossed her mind, she messaged X, her hands trembling while typing.
Mandy: [Boss, what’s going on with this wound?]
As someone who had once suffered from heart disease, she understood the potential consequences of organ issues.
She would never have willingly donated her liver if they had said to use it. She wasn’t as foolish as Esther and would never give up her liver for anyone.
X: [Mandy, you need to act convincingly, got it?]
When Mandy read this message, she wondered if they had actually cut her liver to make the act more convincing.
The hospital room door creaked open, and Mandy panicked when she saw that it was the surgeon. “What’s happening? Wasn’t it agreed upon?”
“Ms. Pendleton, it’s just a minor wound that might look unsightly,” the doctor explained calmly, adjusting his glasses. You’re the liver donor, after all. It would be too obvious without a wound.”
Mandy remained skeptical about whether she had genuinely donated her liver. Once she could move, she would get a CT scan.
“Did Esther donate her liver?” Mandy asked the doctor.
“Yes, she did. She came out of surgery half an hour after you,” he replied.
“Did Esther’s liver go to Bradley?” Mandy voiced her suspicion.
She had been pondering this question all along. How could this be a mere coincidence? How could her liver possibly match
Bradley’s?
