Chapter 229 Critical Condition

There was no time to consider being an inpatient or not.

“Hurry!”

“Patient in Room 2 needs emergency treatment.”

The hospital corridor echoed with the sound of doctors and nurses on the run.

At the same time, Zacharias was wheeled into the emergency room. He felt his eyelids. getting heavier, his breathing becoming more labored, and his body feeling lighter.

I think I’m close to death.

But in the next moment, it seemed like he was conscious again.

Upon scanning the space, he became aware that he was in a hospital, more precisely, the operating room.

And there were two operating tables.

On one bed, Fanny lay, while Angela lay on the other.

With pale complexions, they both had their eyes closed.

Joseph, who was in his surgical attire, was performing surgery on Fanny. He said nothing, but

all even without words, it was

Zacharias couldn’t believe it.

Is this a trade of a life for a life?

very

evident.

It all seemed natural, though, as if doing this was the right thing to do.

He suddenly felt a wave of memories wash over him, and he remembered. Fanny needed a kidney transplant, but there was no match. Angela happened to be a successful match, but she also had stomach cancer, so everyone hoped to make the most of the situation.

Coincidentally, Angela died from falling down the stairs, which was why Joseph was performing the kidney transplant surgery.

Then, he turned to face his worried parents and siblings, who were waiting outside the operating room. He saw himself among them, too.

The indicator for the operating room went dim.

Not long after, Joseph came out. He announced with a smile that the surgery had gone well.

“The surgery would not have gone as well if Joseph hadn’t been the surgeon. It’s a huge relief

“We must give Joseph the credit he deserves once Fanny is all better!”

The Kins Family members embraced each other, celebrating the rebirth of their little princess, Fanny.

When Fanny was wheeled out by the nurse, all eyes were on her.

But no one seemed to notice the body, all alone and dejected, wrapped in white cloth, being wheeled out behind her.

It was Angela.

Angela was no longer breathing and had died.

Zacharias felt a lump form in his throat as he saw her body. His body felt like it was getting heavier over time until he passed out.

As the machines began to beep, the doctors and nurses frantically worked to save him while sweating profusely.

Then, the indicator for the operating room went dim.

Outside, James was waiting and came over right away.

James heard the doctor sigh a little before he took off his mask and said, “Your family needs. to be mentally prepared for what’s next. It may not be long either.”

With a hospital notice indicating Zacharias‘ critical condition, Zacharias was wheeled back to the ward.

James clenched his fists before turning to Joseph beside him and asking, “Do we have another option? I do remember your professor. Doesn’t he-”

With a somber expression, Joseph shook his head and said, “James, I’ve tried everything. Right now, we can only count on Angela.”

That was when James understood that Zacharias might actually be gone if things kept going the way they were.

That night, James remained in the study until the sun came out, and the floor was littered with cigarette butts..

He pulled back the curtains, but his eyes struggled to focus on the bright light.

There’s no more time for waiting, he thought.

To Joseph, he stated, “Hey, keep an eye on Zacharias, I’ll be back in a bit.”

With that, James grabbed his coat, opened the study door, and

he study door, and got in his car.

At the Lawson Residence’s entrance, Angela was seen helping Jonathan out of the car.

After what happened to Naomi, no one was in the mood to socialize, so they left early after only one night.

Before she could step into the courtyard, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her, “Angela.”

She had just turned around when she was pulled out by a firm grip on her wrist.

Luckily, Jonathan was quick to react and grabbed her other wrist.

He looked coldly at James, warning him, “Let go.”

Though a little taken aback, James held onto Angela tightly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lawson, but my brother needs urgent help. I need Angela to save him.”

Jonathan did not listen to James‘ explanation; instead, he grabbed James‘ hand and said, “Let go!”

The man’s face was pale, but his dark eyes had the darkness of a winter night, and they were so oppressive.

“Mr. Kins, are you trying to fight against me?”

The next moment, as always, Simon, dressed in a black hoodie, appeared and stood behind James.

James‘ expression changed, and he was forced to release his hold.

Angela, her gaze cold, rubbed her wrist, which had been red from James‘ hold. “Are you mute? Can’t you use your words instead of doing this?”

Upon hearing Angela’s blunt words, James no longer had the will to argue as his tone

softened. “Angela, Zacharias isn’t doing well. The hospital resuscitated him last night, and the doctor announced that his condition is critical.”

“If

you don’t save him now, he will die.” James sounded like he choked on his words.

He looked haggard at the moment,

th stubble on his face, messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn’t slept well.

When Angela heard these words, her eyes were unagitated and serene. “My demands were made clear last time

“Don’t act as though you want to save Zacharias if you can’t even remove Fanny from the Kins Family’s household registration.”

“See? You can’t even do that. Ha!” With a mocking sneer, Angela continued, “Your brotherly love and mother–son bond aren’t worth that much. Or perhaps you think Zacharias, a sickly child, is not as valuable as Fanny.”

James‘ expression darkened as he shot back, “Angela, aren’t you just turning a blind eye to Zacharias?”

“How many times do you want me to say it?” Angela felt like she was talking to a brick wall. “Please don’t waste my time if you can’t understand simple words.”

What a pathetic attempt to guilt–trip me! Ridiculous! The Kins Family has no right to speak about morality. Morality? They don’t have it.

With that, Angela turned and walked away with Jonathan.

James froze and rushed forward. Because of Jonathan’s gentle prod, James didn’t behave. recklessly as he had previously. Instead, he merely begged, “Angela, do you really have to do this?”

“Fanny has always been weak since she was young. She won’t be able to make it without the Kins Family.”

“Then, let Zacharias die!” Angela was growing agitated, and her remarks also betrayed a lack of empathy.

Having no choice, James ran his hand through his hair and sighed. “Fine, I promise you.”

He took out his phone and dialed Scarlet’s number directly.

Meanwhile, Angela told Jonathan to go back to the house to rest.

In such cold weather, after being drugged and drenched in cold water for so long, even the strongest body couldn’t handle it.

Jonathan didn’t want Angela to worry, especially since they were on Lawson Family’s territory and Ohver was nearby. He was confident that James wouldn’t dare do anything to Angela.

The phone rang a few times before someone answered.

James immediately said. “Mom, listen to me. Take your household registration and Fanny, and change your residency immediately.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

“Mom, there’s no time to think about it. The hospital said Zacharias was in a critical state yesterday. Without Angela, Zacharias will not survive.”

“Mom, are you listening?”

James was getting more anxious as he didn’t get a response from the other end of the phone.

“Mike…” Scarlet finally spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of sorrow. “He’s dead.”
