Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389 He's Donating Stem Cells?

"You need to understand this," Thomas said, sounding both helpless and heavyhearted. "The only person Sebastian would give his life for is you."

Riley's body trembled. She took a deep breath and steadied herself. "I understand. Take me to him."

"He's in Russia," Thomas replied. "Give me your passport. I'll get your visa sorted as fast as possible."

"Russia?" Riley asked, stunned. "Why would he go to Russia?"

Thomas let out a bitter smile. "You really have no idea, do you? I can tell you what he's doing there, but if Sebastian comes after me once he sees you, you'll have to protect me."

"Me?" Riley blinked.

"Yes. You're the only one who can," Thomas said.

Riley thought for a moment, then nodded. "Fine. I'll cover for you. Now tell me. Why did Sebastian go to Russia?"

"To donate hematopoietic stem cells," Thomas answered.

"What?" She stared at him, completely unprepared for that answer.

At the same time, Samuel's words flashed through her mind. He had mentioned that a suitable match for Lina had suddenly been found, and that the donor was willing to proceed with the bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.

Could it be...

"Is it Sebastian?" Riley asked, her voice shaking. "Is Sebastian the one donating stem cells for Lina?"

"Yes," Thomas said.

In an instant, Riley's nose stung, and tears flooded her eyes.

She muttered, "He... How could he..."

"How could he not?" Thomas snapped. "He knows Lina is someone your brother cares about. She has leukemia. So he helped search for a matching donor. He even got tested himself. And what do you know, he matched. So even though he is still injured, he went straight to Russia to donate."

Thomas let out a mocking laugh.

He continued, "Do you know what Sebastian used to be like? He was cold. Not just to others, but to himself too. And now he's willing to donate stem cells for someone who has nothing to do with him, while his own body isn't even healed.

"With his current condition, donating could seriously damage his health. He could lose half his life over this.

"And why is he doing it? Because that person matters to your brother, so to him, it's non-negotiable.

"You broke up with him because he once hid the fact that he had met your brother. But do you have any idea what his life was like after you left? He couldn't sleep. He needed handfuls of medication just to get through the night. He even showed signs of depression and suicidal thoughts.
