The conversation between the two children made the people laugh and shake their heads.
"Sally's right. It's a good thing. Why are we crying about it?" said Selma as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Thoughts of Eddy's illness had been weighing on everyone's mind to the point where they couldn't relax at any point in time at all. Also, something happened to Anne recently too. It actually almost made them all breakdown.
But now, everything was fine. Anne had returned to normal and Kim became a wanted criminal!
While they didn't know whether the police could capture Kim or not, they knew he wouldn't suddenly appear and disturb their lives any time soon.
And to add another good news, they had found a possible heart donor for Eddy. Everything was great!
"At this joyous moment, I must open a bottle of red wine. Would you like to drink some?" With a smile, Selma looked at the crowd while holding a glass of red wine.
"Yes, of course!" Anne and Kevin exchanged looks and nodded at the same time.
Then, Eddy stretched out his hand. Cautiously, he asked, "Can I drink too?"
Sally and Simon who were beside him looked at each other and also asked cautiously, "Can we also drink?"
The three children who sought permission were simply adorable. Selma smiled at them and said, "Usually, I won't allow you to do so but since today is a happy day, you can drink some. But only a little!"
"Yes! Grandma's the best!"
"I really love Grandma the most!"
the children yelled one after another. Their loud and happy voices made Selma's heart swell in happiness. She gazed at them with soft and loving eyes.
A smile emerged at Anne's lips as she looked at the scene in front of her.
Every single person in this world had done something wrong. It was true that Anne suffered a lot because of Selma's authoritative attitude before but as long as Selma genuinely loved her children, everything was forgiven. That love was enough for Anne.
Since she had gone through immense pain, she knew how to enjoy happy and sweet moments in life. She was greatly satisfied that the family was finally happy. She didn't care about the past anymore since it was all over now. The most important things were the present and the future!
Kevin put his arm around Anne's shoulder and they lovingly smiled at each other.
They were really experiencing a pleasant life right now!
Originally, they told the children to drink a little red wine only. They didn't expect for them to drink so much that their faces turned red and they remained plastered on the bed.
Fortunately, it was just wine. It wasn't really a big deal for kids to drink it.
When the three children finally fell asleep, the adults started a discussion. Selma, Anne, and Kevin sat in the hall and talked.
"Who is Eddy's heart donor?" Selma asked Kevin.
Pressing his lips, he replied, "It's a child with a blood disease also. He's lying in bed right now and might die any time soon."
Blood disease!
When Anne heard those two ominous words, her stomach dropped. Eddy had been burdened with blood disease from the moment he was born, and he got sicker as time went by. This disease was such an unpredictable and tragic problem!
She didn't expect that another child would be troubled by it. Moreover, it was unexpected for the child's heart to match Eddy's.
"Did his parents agree to donate it?" Actually, this was what Selma really wanted to know.
Kevin froze. He slightly shook his head and frowned. "Sam's classmate works in the hospital in M City. Sam told that classmate about Eddy and the classmate secretly matched the two hearts. The child's parents don't know about it yet."
At first, the classmate only wanted to try it out since the children had the same blood type. He didn't really expect to have a perfect match.
Slightly, Selma nodded. She was utterly grateful to Sam's classmate, but she was still worried.
If the child's parents were to refuse, what would they do?
This made Anne sigh although there was no disappointment in her heart. There was a small hope now and that was infinitely better than despair!
"No matter what, I will get that child's heart for Eddy. I will never allow anything to happen to my grandson!" Firmly, Selma grunted and went upstairs.
The two adults who were left behind looked at each other and resolutely nodded at the same time. Like Selma, they would do everything to protect Eddy!
The next day, Emily and Sam came to the Fu Family's house early in the morning.
The donor's parents didn't know about the matter yet, so they had to inform and convince them.
Kevin and Anne looked at Emily and Sam with sincere gratitude but before they could say anything, Sam interrupted them.
"We've been friend for many years. It would be insulting for you to thank us. This is nothing."
The two smiled and nodded. Indeed, they had experienced many things together since they had been friends for a very long time.
There wasn't any need to say thanks.
"Okay. Let's go!" With smile, Anne spurred them to leave.
