The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 821

An hour later, Heath Haynes was rushed to the ER.

Once the doctor learned from Heather Haynes that Heath had undergone a heart transplant, he confirmed that the patient was showing severe signs of heart failure. Furthermore, the long-term use of anti-rejection medications had caused devastating side effects.

Chronic renal failure, diabetes, arrhythmia, and a severely low platelet count.

Clearly, Heather was already aware of his deteriorating condition. She relentlessly begged the doctor to save Heath, swearing she would pay any price and bear any burden just to keep him alive.

Fortunately, after emergency intervention, Heath's condition stabilized, though he would need to be readmitted for systematic treatment.

The doctor called Heather into his office to gather a detailed history of the transplant and to give her a realistic estimate of the upcoming medical expenses.

Outside the emergency room, Theodore Stapleton stared through the glass at Heath, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. His gaze was as frigid as ever, but a flicker of complicated emotion danced in his eyes.

"The heart beating inside him belongs to Norton," Penelope Laurier said softly, stepping up beside Theodore to look at the boy.

Theodore frowned. "He had the transplant overseas. I pulled a lot of strings to track down the clinic, get my hands on a list of their transplant patients, and vet them one by one until I found him."

"Why not just go to the police?"

"Remember the man I told you about?"

Penelope nodded. "The one who targeted Norton, lured him to Yaym, and handed him over to that gang. The man who actually murdered him."

"He's Heath's father."

Penelope exhaled heavily. She had already suspected as much.

"He's dead."
