Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 133

Angeline couldn't find a reason for Robert's presence. Her expression was vacant.

"Of course, Sean doesn't know I'm here in Dmont. If it can be kept a secret, I don't plan on letting Sean know we've met," Robert said.

He set aside his glasses and book on a small table beside him.

He then picked up a compatibility report and continued, "My daughter needs a kidney transplant. The doctors said a relative's kidney would improve the chances of a successful transplant... I'm too old to be a match, but your kidney is perfect for her. Would you be willing to donate?"

Despite requesting Angeline's help, Robert was still reluctant to acknowledge her as his granddaughter.

"She..." Angeline began.

She was supporting her frail body with her weak arms as she lifted herself in bed. Her tear-filled eyes were filled with concern.

"What's happened to her?"

"That's none of your concern. If you're unwilling, I can, of course, find a suitable kidney for my daughter elsewhere. Don't worry about it. You're completely free to refuse," Robert said.

"I'd do anything to help her get better," Angeline replied.

Her hand was resting on her abdomen.

"If there's enough time, could it wait until after I've given birth?"

When she noticed Robert press his lips together in silence, she asked, "Are my twins still there?"

"Wouldn't it be best if they were gone? You're already divorced from Ned. Having the children will inevitably lead to complications in the future," Robert said.

He sensed the choke in Angeline's voice. He put down the compatibility report as he clearly did not want to dwell on the children.

He added, "Since you're willing to donate your kidney to my daughter. I'll cover your living expenses for the next five years. I don't like being indebted to anyone."
