Edmund's remarks made Doris's heart skip a beat. The strong sense of oppression made her feel like she was about to suffocate.
Although she was very disgusted and even found Edmund's offer extremely repulsive, she also knew that the kidney source Edmund had secured in the United States was the only source she knew of that could match her father’s blood type. This was the only choice she had for the time being. 4
If someone else bought the kidney, she would lose all hope.
Doris had studied in the United States back then, so she knew the situation in the country very well.
Compared to Oskia, the overall degree of rule of law in the States was relatively loose.
Not only were guns and drugs easily accessible, but even the trade in human organs was unregulated. 6
If a person wanted to sell his kidney, he could complete the kidney removal surgery even in a veterinary clinic. Everything was very easy and smooth. 4
This also meant that if the donor found a suitable seller, he could sell his kidney easily. 1
Once the kidney was removed, it would immediately b e shipped to the buyer in the fastest way possible.
If that was the case, she would lose her chance of obtaining the kidney...
However, Doris still couldn’t make a decision.
"By then, countless young and handsome men in their 20s will come to you and flatter you like lapdogs. I don't think there's anything more wonderful in life than that!" 4
Doris stared ahead silently without any expression while her mother, who was crying on the sofa, could hardly stand it anymore and covered her ears with her hands.
She wanted to kick Edmund out of the ward so badly, but she shared the same concern as Doris.
It was very easy to kick Edmund out, but by doing so, they would eliminate the one chance of Doris's father's survival. 2
Edmund had gone to the ultimate by blackmailing them with their family member’s life.
