Yasmin said, “You certainly know yourself well. If that’s your intention, I’ll report it that way.’

Joseph replied, “Tell Mavis I’m only protecting myself. With everything she’s seen and experienced, how could she possibly not understand what I’m trying to do? Honestly! Speaking of Mavis, have you really found nothing?

“Did Grace really just die in a car accident for no reason? Is there not even the slightest trace of evidence pointing to a different conclusion?”

Joseph still couldn’t let go of Grace’s death. He had always felt that there was something suspicious about it. After chatting casually with Yasmin for a little longer, he hung up.

At that moment, a more radical idea suddenly crossed his mind. He could have Lacey publicly investigate Grace’s death. Of course, if there really was a conspiracy behind it, Lacey might just quietly get killed off. That would basically mean that Joseph sent Lacey to her death.

He couldn’t bring himself to do that.

For the next three days, he didn’t return to Yara’s home. Instead, he remained at the hospital.

Every night, Yara not only left messages for Joseph, but also went looking for him.

She said to herself, “Yara, don’t forget yourself. You can’t afford to be so distracted by romance right now.”

Early the next morning, Joseph called Yara and told her to come to the hospital for a checkup.

She stared at the list of tests on the laboratory form. “Kidney matching? Why do I need to do this?”

She was baffled.

Joseph said, “Skylar’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. He’s developed ascites over the past two days because his kidneys are failing. We’ve started dialysis, but that’s not a long-term solution. Ideally, he needs a kidney transplant. You’re his sister. Your kidney might be the best match for him.”

Yara nearly jumped to her feet. “What? You want me to donate a kidney to Skylar?”

Joseph’s words had utterly shocked her.

She immediately refused. “I’m not even fully recovered yet. I can barely take care of myself, so how could I donate an organ? No. Check the transplant database and see if there’s another suitable donor.”

Joseph sighed. “Let me say something that might make me sound heartless. Honestly, there’s no need to look for another donor. There may not even be a need for a transplant.”

He picked up a pen and wrote some words on the paper.

“Pull the plug.”

Yara’s heart stopped for a moment. “Is there really nothing else we can do?”

Joseph shook his head.

Then, Yara said, “Wait. There’s someone else we can ask. Let’s find him and ask what he thinks.”

So her first thought was him again?

Joseph’s expression suddenly darkened. “Yara, you’re awfully close to Joseph. Just what exactly did you promise him to convince him to let go of his grudge and start treating you and your brother? What did you promise him behind my back? Did you make some kind of financial or sexual deal with him?”

Yara replied, “Henry, don’t think like that, okay? I’ve already explained it to you. Joseph needed money, so we simply offered him more in medical fees. No one refuses money, after all. If someone turns it down, it only means you haven’t offered enough. Just offer more.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes. “If you’re lying to me, then things between us are over. Without me, forget about carrying out any of your plans. I may not be as capable as Joseph, but don’t forget, I’m the one who can openly be with you.”
