Seeing that, Laura got nervous and started to massage Fannie's back immediately.
"Mom, don't get mad. He didn't come to me, really."
After that, Laura stared at her in earnest, and Fannie finally believed her at the sight of the look in her eye.
Then, Laura had a chat with her for a while. It was when Fannie felt tired that she helped her lie down to have a rest.
Laura didn't leave the room until Fannie was asleep.
After coming out, she went straight to the office of her mother's attending doctor.
Derek was the best cardiologist in the whole hospital.
He was aware of who Laura was, so he paid much attention to Mrs. Davies's condition.
Derek gave a gentle smile at the sight of Laura. "Hello. Take a seat."
Laura nodded with a frown.
"Derek, you called me and told me that my mom's not doing well. What's going on?"
Derek shook his hand, signaling her not to get worried now, took an ECG out of a folder aside and put it in front of her.
Then he said with sincerity, "Your mother's heart condition has always been a problem. It's been years and I believe you know her condition very well. Her heart is worn out. Now, what we've found out is, if we can't find a suitable heart for her in half a year, your mother may not make it."
Laura's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
She said at once, "Derek, I've always been looking for a suitable heart for her, but could you give me some more time?"
Fannie had RH negative blood type, which was very rare, so it was even harder for Laura to find a compatible heart for her.
Just because of this, Laura still couldn't help to cure her mother, even though she was an A-list actress now, who had no economic pressures and was able to cover all her mother's medical expenses.
After all, many patients were waiting for the hearts, let alone the one of RH negative blood type, and it was impossible for Laura to get one in half a year.
Derek naturally knew it. He let out a sigh and shook his head.
"All I can say is we'll try our best, but we can't guarantee anything. The most important thing is you have to try your best too."
Hearing that, Laura knew Derek had done all he could and had no other choice, so she sat down in disappointment and nodded.
"I see. Don't worry. I'll try to get one by all means. I hope you'll take good care of my mom during this time."
She paused and continued, "And also, I hope you won't tell her about it, OK?"
Derek nodded. "Rest assured. I know what to do."
Now all messages were delivered.
Laura rose to her feet, said goodbye to Derek, and left.
Laura went straight back home after she left the hospital.
Sitting in her house, she found the whole apartment empty, and so was her heart.
She had taken her mother around to seek treatment all these years, but in the end, everything was in vain?
Thinking of this, Laura took out her phone and called the heart supplier, but as expected, there were so many people waiting. Even if she had signed up for her mother a few years ago, what was the chance of her getting a heart of such a rare blood type?
Laura could only hang up helplessly.
Just at this point, her phone rang.
She tensed up at the sight of the caller ID.
