And now, his old disease was relapsing.
Seeing as Luke was feeling unwell, Catherine asked, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling alright?”
They had stopped loving each other for many years, but Charis’ death brought them back together somehow.
They lost their beloved child in their old age.
Now, they only had each other. Catherine heaved a sigh, holding onto Luke’s arm.
“I’ll call the family doctor.”
“No, I’m okay. The most important thing to do right now is to ensure that the Larson Group will not take offense in anything we do. One wrong step, and it’ll bring disaster upon the Turner family.”
Right after he said that, Vivian came back with a bowl of steaming soup.
“The soup is ready. Please have a taste.”
After setting the soup down on the table, she went to get Catherine’s bowl and filled it for her.
Luke stopped Vivian from ladling the soup.
Enduring the pain, he said to her, “You can leave now.I’ll give you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the pain from his lower abdomen overcame him. His face was deathly pale and he fainted with a livid expression before he could even scream in pain.
“Honey!”
Catherine was taken aback. Her mind went blank. She squatted on the ground and broke down into tears.
Vivian didn’t know what to do.
Once she was able to pull herself together, she immediately called 911.
Visibly dispirited, Vivian tried her best to comfort Catherine.
“It’s alright, Mrs. Turner. Let’s get Mr. Turner to the hospital first. I’m sure he’ll be okay.”
Amidst an empty corridor, Catherine was pacing back and forth. Her marriage to Luke was merely borne out of a business decision. She didn’t love him that much.
They were bonded just because their families wanted to mutually benefit from one another.
She once hated the fact that Luke had many mistresses and that he was a hypocritical, selfish man who didn’t care about his family at all.
But at this moment, she felt that all the resentment she had for him became insignificant. She hoped with all her heart that her husband would stay alive.
Moments later, the doctor finally opened the door of the operating room and came out. He took off his mask, revealing a stern expression.
“The condition of Mr. Turner’s liver is awful.He’s had liver surgery before to fix the problem, but his condition is relapsing.Did something happen that might’ve triggered it to come back?”
While wiping away her tears, Catherine said in a choked voice, “Our daughter has recently passed away, and my husband isn’t taking it too well. Doctor, how are we supposed to treat him?”
“He’s in dire need of a liver transplant.If we want him to survive, it needs to happen now.”
The doctor was visibly distressed.
“However, it won’t be easy to conduct the procedure. To begin with, your husband has a rare blood type, so finding a match will be tricky. You have to be mentally prepared for the worst.”
Catherine was heartbroken to hear the news. She had just lost her daughter. She couldn’t bear to lose her husband, too.
“Doctor, you must save my husband. I’ll use my connections to look for a liver donor that will match with my husband!”
Catherine pleaded. She thought it would be able to find a suitable liver donor, because they had the wealth and resources to do so.
Frowning, the doctor replied, “Mr. Turner’s blood type is rare.It’s called Bombay blood group. It’s the first time I’ve seen anyone with this blood type in this country for many years.If you’re lucky, one of his relatives might have the same blood type. You can ask them to come down to the hospital and undergo an examination.”
Ever since Catherine married Luke, she had known that he had a rare blood type.Charis inherited the same blood type from him.
“Our only daughter has passed away.We don’t have that many relatives. His parents died shortly after we got married, and I haven’t heard anyone else in his family who shares his blood type either.”
She almost broke down when those words escaped her lips, unable to keep herself steady. Fortunately, Vivian was here, too.
“We just have to find someone who has the same blood type as Mr. Turner, right?” asked Vivian.
“Correct. Once we find a suitable liver donor, I can arrange for the operation to be started immediately,” answered the doctor.
Catherine was panicking.Luke’s life was in grave danger, and she’d do anything it took to find him a donor.
Later, Vivian helped her back to the ward.

“Are you scared too?” asked Catherine.
She had noticed that Vivian seemed distressed about something.
Vivian shook her head and smiled in response.
There was something else in her mind. Her blood type was the same as Charis’.
It was one of the reasons why Charis chose to sponsor her among tens of millions of people.
When she heard about Luke’s blood type, an idea dawned on her.
Vivian actually felt lucky that Luke fell ill. She could take advantage of this situation to solidify her position within the Turner family.
The following day.
Catherine was sitting at Luke’s bedside.She looked really exhausted.
Ever since she found out about his liver problems, she had been trying to find him a proper donor.
There were flowers bought by Vivian on the bedside table.
