Christine White took a deep breath and repeated, “I said, I’ve been told about Ms. Molly Bort’s second surgery!”
“Who told you that?” Baird Lane clenched his fists, his voice cold and terrifying, “Ives Norton?”
“No.” Christine White shook her head, her eyes twinkling for a moment, “I stumbled upon it myself.”
Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, “You expect me to believe that?”
“I know you won’t believe me, but it doesn’t matter, I’m saying this to ask for confirmation of one thing.” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane’s brow knit tightly, “What are you trying to plead?”
Christine White bit her lower lip, “Is what you were going to tell me before that you never got around to saying, is that you want me to donate bone marrow to Ms. Molly Bort again?”
Baird Lane’s eyes sank and he slowly spat out the word, “Yes!”
Christine White’s heart ached.
Even though she had guessed the answer, she was still a little overwhelmed when she actually heard him admit it in person.
“True enough.” Christine White smiled sadly, “Once wasn’t enough, you want my bone marrow twice, Baird, are you really that cruel?”
Baird Lane’s eyes dropped, “I didn’t ask you to necessarily donate this time.”
“But would you give up?” Christine White closed her eyes and pushed down the tears that were welling up in her eyes, “Ms. Molly Bort is going to die if she doesn’t have the surgery, will you let her die?”
She only asked him.
Baird Lane’s cheeks clenched and he didn’t answer.
Christine White smiled to herself, “Let me answer that for you, you won’t, because Miss Molly Bort is very dear to your heart, so you won’t let her die, and the only person who can save her is me at the moment, you just said that you didn’t ask me to donate for sure this time, but do you believe that yourself?”
Baird Lane still hasn’t responded.
Christine White wiped a handful of her eyes, “If you really didn’t mean to force me to donate bone marrow, you would have said that to me in the first place, but you didn’t, you kept hiding and dragging it out, so it’s obvious that in the back of your mind, you still want me to save Molly Bort right?”
Baird Lane looked at her with complexity.
He had to admit that she had taken his mind and guessed right through it.
It’s true that he didn’t mean to force her to necessarily donate her bone marrow, yet he didn’t give up on the idea of not wanting her bone marrow either.
Because he wants to save Molly!
“Why don’t you say something?” Christine White spoke again.
The knot in Baird Lane’s throat slid, “I know my behavior was wrong, but human lives are at stake …”
“Lives are at stake?” Christine White scoffed lightly, “Yes, it’s nice that a human life is at stake, but what about me? Am I not a human life? The first time I donated bone marrow, my body is no longer the same as Chongqing, I have no after-effects, it’s lucky for me, but the second time I donated bone marrow do you dare to guarantee that I won’t have any problems?”
Baird Lane returned in a hushed voice, “So that’s why I didn’t tell you about it in the first place, because all this time I’ve been sending out a search for other suitable bone marrow.”
“So did you find it?” Christine White asked him.
Baird Lane’s eyes flashed, “No.”
“I knew it, I’m afraid if you had found it, you would have operated on Miss Molly Bort long ago and wouldn’t have waited until now, and now that Miss Molly Bort’s second surgery is only a few days away, what are you going to do?” Christine White got off the bed and stood face to face with him, “Are you going to force me into surgery to donate bone marrow to Miss Molly Bort, or what?”
“Will you calm down?” Baird Lane frowned with some displeasure.
“I can’t calm down, all I have to do is think about my husband being bent on getting my bone marrow for another woman and my heart hurts like hell, do you know how I feel?” Christine White looked at him with reddened eyes, “You don’t know because you have no feelings for me so no matter what happens to me you won’t feel anything, so I figured it out.”
“What have you figured out?” Baird Lane grimaced.
For some reason, there was something about her that he didn’t like to hear.
Especially her last sentence.
Listening to his heart inexplicably some fire, she is so sure that he has no feelings for her?
Christine White let out a long breath, a look of determination in her eyes, “Of course I’m not going to donate my bone marrow, no matter what, I’m not going to do it, I’m not going to save Molly Bort, and you want to know why?”
Baird Lane narrowed his phoenix eyes, “Speak!”
“Because I’m pregnant.” Christine White touched up her belly, a soft smile on her face.
Baird Lane’s pupils clenched, and a look of shock violently surfaced on his consistently cool face, “What did you say?”
“I’m pregnant.” Christine White repeated, “It’s been two months.”
Baird Lane looked down slightly, incredulously at her stomach.
She’s actually pregnant?
Inside this flat stomach, there’s his child?
At this moment, even Baird Lane, who was accustomed to being unperturbed no matter what happened, couldn’t help but show a few moments of panic and hand-wringing.
How could he not have expected her to tell him such news?
This news made him simultaneously feel nothing but astonishment, but there was actually a trace of undisguised surprise deep inside.
“Really pregnant?” For some reason, Baird Lane asked again.
Christine White nodded, “Well, here’s my checklist.”
She pulled open the bedside drawer and pulled a sheet out of it and handed it to him.
Baird Lane takes a look and is now completely convinced that he is really going to be a father.
“Children … healthy?” Baird Lane asked, suppressing the emotion in his voice as he gripped the checklist.
Christine White held her baby bump carefully, “The baby is healthy, so Baird, make a choice?”
“What choice?” Baird Lane had something in mind.
Christine White clenched her palms together, “Of course it’s a choice between the child or Ms. Molly Bort, and you should know that if I donate any more bone marrow, this child won’t be able to keep it, so you should understand, right? ”
Baird Lane’s thin lips twitched, “I understand, why don’t you go to sleep, I’ll go to the study.”
With those words, he turned and walked out of the room.
Her words let him know he had to make a choice.
If she hadn’t been pregnant, he might have been torn about whether or not he should let her donate bone marrow.
But now that she’s pregnant, he’s got a choice, he wants the baby, and there’s a voice inside him telling him that if he chooses wrong, he’ll regret it!
Arriving in the study, Baird Lane took off his jacket and took out his cell phone, dialing a number out.
Even though it was late at night at the moment, the call was answered quickly.
“Uncle Bort.” Baird Lane called out in a faint voice as he sat in his chair.
Leo Bort was a little surprised when he got his call, “It’s Baird, what can I do for you this late?”
“I want to tell you that Christine White’s bone marrow donation is off the table.” Baird Lane asked forcefully.
Leo Bort froze slightly, “You’re not going to say yes? What about Molly?”
“I’m sorry about Molly’s side, I’ll be ramping up the search for the right bone marrow.”
“Increase the search? Baird, are you kidding me?” Leo Bort got a little anxious, thinking that Baird Lane was joking with him.
However Baird Lane sounded adamant, “Not kidding, I am of the opinion that Christine White can’t donate bone marrow.”
“If she doesn’t donate her bone marrow, then who will save Molly, Molly’s surgery is just a few days away, it’s much more dangerous to miss in doing it, Baird you know that ah.”
“I know, but I’m going to make Ives want to give her other bone marrow, it’s a low match but it’ll definitely hold up until I find the right marrow.” Baird Lane said.
“That’s true, but isn’t it just torturing Molly to have heavy rejection of the other bone marrow?” Leo Bort was displeased with his arrangement.
