At this time, the staff of the studio all went outside to watch us.
There were three people standing here. Except for me, one of them was a leukemia patient and the other one was Patrick whose legs were disabled.
I could only say, "Let's go to the conference room where we can sit down and talk."
"All right."
Patrick agreed.
I led them to the meeting room. Someone brought in two cups of tea and placed each in front of Patrick and Finn.
Finn looked at the tea in front of him and sighed, "Alas! Maybe it's God's punishment that I have to see through who my biological daughter and my wife really are one day!"
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
I only knew that Kelsi wasn't willing to do a marrow match. For this, Katy had come to see me before. How come Finn brought up Katy?
Finn glanced at me, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Charlotte, I..."
"Mr. Finn, please call me Janetta, thank you."
I interrupted him and corrected him.
No matter what kind of tricks he was playing, trying to make me sympathize with him, I would never admit that he was my father.
Looking embarrassed, Finn had to correct himself, "Janetta, I'm sorry. A while ago, I went to see you for fear that you would share my legacy. Judging from the current situation, I feel that I am the most stupid one in the world!"
As Finn spoke, he was full of excitement.
He clenched his hand resting on the conference table clenched into a fist. And his hand trembled slightly.
Although he was excited, Patrick and I on the side didn't feel anything.
After all, Finn was not someone poor that needed our sympathy.
With his money, he surely could be cured.
Although we didn't speak, he said non- stop, "I indeed don't know how cruel human beings can be before getting sick! After I was sick this time, Katy cared about me at first. Upon learning that Kelsi didn't agree to do a marrow match, she helped me scold her.
Such a long time has passed ever since I came to see you last time. I indeed didn't want to bother you. In my opinion, Kelsi was the daughter I raised in person anyway. I had been kind to her since she was a child. Whatever she wanted, I would give them to her. I thought that she would definitely agree if I told her the details. But I didn't expect that..."
Speaking of this, Finn was in tears.
He, who was over 50 years old, burst out shedding tears.
I took out a piece of tissue from my bag and handed it to him.
He wiped his tears and mucus, saying with a wry smile, "How could she say that? According to her, I've lived enough. She still has a long life ahead. If she donates her bone marrow to me, it may affect her health..."
Hearing what he said, I felt that Kelsi went too far.
No matter how mean Finn was, he should be quite good to Kelsi.
But now, Kelsi actually...
For a moment, I could feel how disappointed Finn was in his heart.
Finn took a sip of water and continued, "Originally,
Katy helped me. However, it was unknown what Kelsi had said to her after coming from abroad this time. Even Katy didn't agree to ask Kelsi to do a marrow match for me. Tell me, won't I have lived half of my life in vain?"
Suddenly, Finn slammed the table with his hand a few times, crying even harder.
Patrick and I sat at the side. Only after making sure that he had finished talking did I speak, "Sorry, I did promise you that I would do a marrow match after coming from abroad. However, I really can't do it now because of my health now."
"What is it?"
Hearing this, Finn looked at me with wide eyes, "You promised me! How can you go back on your words?"
He, who was very excited, reached out to grab me.
Patrick held out a hand and directly separated me from him, saying, "She's pregnant."
