The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

Chris’s hand tightened at his side.

The doctor’s expression was grave.

For the first few months after Richie was born, he hadn’t even been able to drink milk. Later, as his condition slowly improved, he had gradually been able to tolerate it. They had all thought his body might keep getting stronger. None of them had expected him to develop such a rare illness.

And there was still no news of a bone marrow match.

“Has he been crying these past two days?” Chris asked.

The doctor shook his head. “No. Once he falls asleep, he stays very quiet.”

Chris stood there in silence, looking at the small face on the monitor.

When Richie was asleep, he looked exactly like Winter.

“He has been sleeping for that long. Does that mean his body is getting weaker?”

It was because of the call from the hospital that Chris had decided to take Winter off the island early.

The doctor looked deeply ashamed. His voice was heavy as he said, “Mr. Xander, Richie’s body is too weak. He may not be able to wait another six months.”

Chris stood in front of the monitor for a very long time.

He looked at the screen quietly, as if time had frozen around him.

After a long while, he finally turned off the monitor and locked it again.

Before he left the hospital, he received a call from Gavin.

Chris got into the car and ordered the bodyguard to drive.

The car pulled into the underground garage of a secluded villa.

Chris got out and walked straight toward the basement.

This was the place where he had interrogated the assassins who had tried to kill Winter on New Year’s Eve.

Gavin had secretly dealt with those people already.

Today, someone else had been brought here.

Chris pushed open the basement door and saw Skyla, her hands and feet locked in chains.

“Chris!”

Skyla hurried toward him.

He had finally come to see her.

After so many days, she was finally seeing him again. Tears of joy welled in her eyes.
