Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 675

Noreen had accompanied Rosalind to that major check-up.

But Rosalind had gone to get the results by herself.

At the time, Noreen had asked her about it, and she had said everything was fine.

How could she have believed her?

When Rosalind woke up and saw Noreen's red-rimmed eyes, she knew her secret was out.

She sighed and tried to comfort Noreen. "You've suffered so much because of me over the years. Now that you finally have your own pursuits, I don't want to be a burden to you again."

"I've never thought of you as a burden," Noreen said, holding Rosalind's cold hand, her heart filled with regret for her own carelessness.

"But I still feel like I'm holding you back."

If it weren't for her, Noreen and Seth would never have crossed paths.

She would never have wasted seven years of her heart on him.

Her daughter deserved so much better.

Noreen spoke with the attending physician and agreed to the hospital's plan for Rosalind's kidney transplant.

But the immediate problem was finding a suitable donor on such short notice.

And there was a long waiting list at the hospital.

There were only two legal channels for finding a kidney in the country: voluntary live donation and posthumous organ donation from citizens.

Noreen was the first to be tested for a match, but unfortunately, she wasn't compatible.

She contacted more than ten other hospitals across the country, but heard nothing back.

Seeing Rosalind's condition deteriorating day by day, Noreen proposed taking her abroad for treatment, hoping to find a suitable and compatible kidney there.

But the doctor told her that Rosalind's current condition made her unfit for long-distance travel.

In other words, all they could do was wait.

Noreen couldn't, and wouldn't, take that risk.

She steeled herself and decided to negotiate with the Gilmore family.

Eight years ago, when Rosalind needed a bone marrow transplant, Noreen had pleaded with the Gilmores.

But back then, she had nothing, and in the end, she couldn't even get through their front door.
