Haley turned her head and saw that it was Orion who had grabbed her. Her expression quickly changed from fierce to gentle, but it only lasted for a moment. She tried to please him.
But before she could say anything, Orion spoke first, “I told them not to let you into the house.”
The expression on Haley’s face changed again, and her voice became sharp, “We’re not divorced yet!”
Orion replied indifferently, “So what if we’re not divorced? I won’t allow you to enter the door. What can you do about it? Huh?”
Haley had never imagined that Orion would become like this one day. Regret filled her. If only she had seen through Orion earlier, she wouldn’t have believed his lies. She trusted him so much!
“Orion!” She shouted in anger.
Orion ignored her and said, “I won’t let you in unless you sign the divorce agreement. You came back in such a hurry, must be wanting to get some money, right?”
“You’re… despicable.”
“Learned it from you.” Orion replied coldly. After saying that, he walked into the house.
Haley wanted to follow him, but she was stopped. She stomped her feet in anger at the door, refusing to give in and sign the divorce papers.
…
HY Research Center.
They had already developed the medicine, but it was still in the testing phase. Using animals took time, and the observation phase was long. Freya wanted to personally test the medicine.
“Let me do it!” Sivin said.
Freya did not agree. This was about the life of her child, and testing medicine was a matter of life and death. It could even cause harm to her body. She couldn’t play with someone else’s life like that.
Freya’s phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and saw a text message. It read, “I found Zane’s whereabouts. I’m going to save him now.”
Freya lowered her eyes, finally a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Her research on the medicine had made progress, and Elijah had found Zane’s location. This matter should have a quick resolution, right?
She took a deep breath and replied, “I know.”
Elijah told her this news to put her at ease. With progress on Elijah’s side, Freya made up her mind to try the medicine. When she went to get the syringe, she found that the one on the table was missing. She looked up and saw Sivin holding it in his hand. And it was already empty. Sivin took advantage of the moment when she was texting and injected the medicine.
“I can only do something for you to lessen my apologies.”
Sivin had already injected the medicine. Freya couldn’t say anything anymore.
“Never again, I’ll be angry.” Freya didn’t like owing others.
Even though Sivin had made mistakes before, leading to some incidents, his heart wasn’t bad.
Sivin nodded, a slight smile appearing on his lips. “Alright, to develop this medicine, you haven’t had a good rest these past few days. There are so many people here, go back and rest. If you have any questions, we’ll call you anytime.”
Freya rubbed her arm and responded softly, “Okay.”
She had been in the lab for over ten hours, her eyes blurry from looking at data and through the microscope. She really needed to rest for a while. She also needed to check on her son’s condition. Now Elowen and Linda were watching over Kai 24/7, just in case his fever worsened. Kai still had a low-grade fever, and the rashes on his body were getting worse. Freya was worried. She had been running back and forth during this period. Fortunately, the place she was staying at was arranged properly by Elijah, so she didn’t need to worry about safety issues. Otherwise, she would have been exhausted.
She had lost weight during this period. Returning to her accommodation, she washed her hands and went straight to Kai’s room. The little boy was asleep. But his sleep was restless. His eyelashes were still wet, a sign that he had been crying. Freya’s eyes were filled with heartache. How she wished this pain could be on herself. She gently lay down beside her son.
Elowen brought a bowl of nourishing soup for Freya and whispered, “Drink this before you sleep.”
Freya sat up, drank the soup, and lay back down. Elowen left with the bowl, not disturbing her rest. Her sleep was restless, waking up frequently. On the third blurry awakening, she couldn’t fall back asleep. She gently got up. Elowen saw Freya coming out and sighed, “Why don’t you get some more sleep?”
Elowen had seen how tired Freya was during this time, and her heart ached for her. But it was about Kai, and she couldn’t persuade Freya about anything. Perhaps if she kept herself busy, she could forget about Elijah for a while.
“I have to go to the research center again,” Freya said.
Now all Elowen could do was help take care of Kai as much as possible.
On her way to the hospital, Freya saw Elijah’s car. And it was heading towards the hospital. Freya was puzzled, why would he go to the hospital? Who had an accident?
She instructed the driver to follow. Soon, the car smoothly stopped at the hospital entrance. Freya got out of the car and told the driver, “Wait for me here.” After saying that, she walked quickly inside. In the lobby, she saw Zane being carried.
“Elijah!” Freya hurried over.
“What happened?” Elijah turned around, surprised to see her. His eyes deepened, his voice low, “There was an accident while rescuing him.”
In fact, it was Dina’s viciousness. She had set up many traps where Zane was being held. And there were two guards. The guards had already been restrained by Elijah’s men. Zane was injured when they were rescuing him, the knife piercing his chest. Freya didn’t ask for the details. She quickly examined Zane’s wound and with just one glance, she knew his heart was injured. It needed immediate attention.
“Quick, call the doctor.” She urgently shouted.
Elijah grabbed her arm, “There are doctors here, you…”
Freya quickly interrupted, “He’s severely injured, I definitely need to be part of the surgery, and I need your help.”
She wasn’t a doctor here, so it would be difficult for her to enter the operating room. That was why Elijah had to intervene.
“We can’t waste time!” Freya raised her voice.
Elijah nodded.
…
Zane was rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment. After the examination, it was determined that his heart was damaged, and life and death hung by a thread.
“There’s no way to repair it, we have to do a heart transplant,” one doctor said.
Freya maintained a calm and serious expression, not saying a word. The doctor was stating the current situation. Without a heart to transplant, Zane would surely die.
She spoke up, “Quickly find out if there’s a donor available in the hospital.”
A medical assistant hurriedly went out to make a phone call. Soon, news came in. The hospital had a case of amniotic fluid embolism, and they were desperately trying to save the baby. It was certain that the mother couldn’t be saved. But they didn’t know if the family would be willing to donate. Freya hesitated for a moment and decided to go there in person with Elijah’s arrangement and assistance.
Freya met the pregnant woman smoothly. She entered the delivery room and saw the dying woman on the delivery bed. Freya’s eyes slowly widened as she blurted, “Is it you?”
At that moment, the woman on the bed turned her head slowly and, equally surprised, saw Freya, “Freya?”
