CHAPTER 218: DO WE REALLY HAVE TO ASK THAT PERSON

Frank would like to wait.

Yesmina couldn’t hold back this time.

For a bad -tempered person she was, she had already been keeping the secret for Frank for an enough time.

Now, there was no way she could keep it more.

She was worried about Frank, and she knew her daughter.

According to Yvonne’s personality, if she knew that her father was so seriously ill and she didn’t know anything about it, she would definitely break down.

Yesmina thought about it again and again, still called Yvonne.

After Yvonne learned what had happened, she went to the hospital with Zachary overnight!

When Yesmina saw Yvonne, she was still in her pajamas.

In the cold winter months, Yvonne only wore a black coat outside. Her face was so pale.

When Yvonne rushed into the ward in anger, Frank knew that it was Yesmina who had said everything.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier about such a big thing?!"

Frank was like a child who had made a mistake at the moment, with his head lowered.

Yvonne was really angry this time. But seeing that her dad was still in bed, it was useless to be anxious.

She gave Frank a look, and without saying a word, she took Zachary’s hand and went to do the matching test.

Frank saw her going and walked off the bed in a hurry.

"Yvonne, what are you doing?!"

"Do the test!"

"You’re not allowed to go!"

"Why?" Yvonne asked.

"What do you do there?" said Frank, "Even if you make a match, are you going to give me a kidney? Do you want to lose one kidney? You are still so young, there are still so many time ahead, what if you only have one kidney in the future when something goes wrong?"

"We’ll talk about it later, and if I’m sick, we’ll wait for a kidney source then."

"What if we can’t wait?"

"That’s my destiny!" Yvonne insisted.

"Ridiculous!"

Frank raged.

This was the first time in all these years that Yvonne and Yesmina had seen Frank rage.

It was truly horrible when he really got furious, even his wife Yesmina would avoid the scene.

"You’re not a child any more, why are you still so childish?"

"How can you say something so irresponsible when you’re married and the mother of two?"

"What will happen to your children if anything happens to you?"

Frank felt that he was old, and even if something did happen to him, it would be his business.

Yvonne was only in her twenties, and he couldn’t let her do the donation anyhow.

Instead, Yvonne said, "Dad, I think you’re the one who’s wrong this time."

As Frank raged, she was also solemn. She said slowly and clearly.

"What do you call a family? Family is a community of destiny, today I help you, tomorrow you will help me, otherwise why would a family be called a family?

"Dad, let me just ask you this, if I were the one who was sick today, would you stand by and do nothing?"

This time, Frank stayed in silence.

After a long time, he was red-eyed.

She was right.

If it was Yvonne who was in trouble today, not to mention a kidney, even if it cost him his life, he wouldn’t hesitate about saving his daughter.

Heart to heart. If he was willing to do this, so was her.

The air was thin at the moment.

Yvonne looked at his silent father and loosened the corners of her mouth. Then she went up and patted Frank’s shoulder.

"Don’t worry dad, I’m an adult, I’m capable of making decisions and being responsible for myself."

After saying that, she looked back and took Zachary’s hand and said, "Let’s go for the test."

...

Kidney matching required many tests in medicine.

First, the blood type, it had to be matched. And the kidney had to work normally.

Then there were various tests such as a lymphocyte cross matching and Human Leucocyte Antigen test.

Only if all these tests were not abnormal could a kidney transplant be performed under the advice and guidance of a doctor.

When Yvonne did the test, Zachary did one too.

This made Yvonne a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

Zachary said, "Matching, what’s wrong?"

"You...

"If I could get a match, would you not have to have a surgery, would you?"

After learning that Frank was sick, Yvonne was anxious and concerned from home to the hospital.

Until this moment, hearing Zachary say this, she was moved beyond words.

"Zachary Leinster...

"Don’t cry."

The man stepped forward and dried her tears.

"It’s like you said - family, it’s all about helping each other out."

"When you’re in danger, I’ll help you, and when I’m in danger, you’ll help me. We’re not just husband and wife, we’re family too, and your family is my family."

When Yvonne heard Zachary say that, she really didn’t know how to thank him!

She hugged him tightly, "Fortunately, I got you... As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

Zachary also hugged her, "It is my duty to keep you carefree all your life."

*

After a few more days, the results of Yvonne and Zachary’s matches came out.

This time, Yvonne, Zachary and Yesmina were all there. The doctor said, "I’m sorry, Mrs. Taylor, neither you nor your husband’s kidney is a match for Mr. Taylor!"

"Why!?" Yvonne froze, and in the next second, she yelled, "Isn’t it true that a direct relative match would be more forgiving and the transplant survival rate would be higher?"

The doctor said, "The kidney replacement surgery we are talking about does have a higher success rate of matching between relatives, but it is not 100%. Unfortunately, although you and Mr. Taylor are direct relatives, the kidney type does not match."

Yvonne was silent.

She stepped out from the doctor’s office out of mind, as if her strength had been drained from her body. She leaned against the wall.

Why...

Why not even her?

Yesmina silently cried, while Zachary stayed in silence.

Did...did they have no choice but asking Finn Levin for help?

"Yvonne, what are you going to do?"

At the critical moment, Yesmina had to ask Tong Yvonne Taylor’s opinion.

"I...

Yvonne wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at Zachary at her side.

She didn’t want to take this favor from Finn Levin, and Zachary definitely didn’t want it even more!

Who would want to let his rival save his father-in-law?

But what else could they do except this way?

Zachary had never felt so helpless.

It was surely a mismatch.

But he couldn’t stress her out any more at this point.

"I’m OK. I’ll leave you here. I have to go back to the office now."

"Zachary..." said Yvonne, in difficulty.

"Don’t worry." The man in the long black coat, looking handsome and strong, stepped forward and kissed her on the brow.

"Saving your dad always comes first, and as for the others,"

"No one can harm our relationship."

"You have to have faith in me, huh?"

When he finished, he gave her a tight hug and then walked away.

Yvonne looked at Zachary’s back, her heart tore apart.

She knew that he didn’t want to put pressure on her and Yesmina, so he chose to avoid it.

She also knew that Zachary wouldn’t change at all just because Frank had accepted Finn’s kidney transplant. But as his wife, she didn’t want Zachary to live in this kind of aggravation.

After all, the favor was too big.

A proud man like Zachary could only let his rival help his wife and her family? This feeling of powerlessness was ten times more painful than having him lose a kidney!

So, what was she supposed to do?

...

Yvonne thought about it all night long.

Frank slept, and so did Yesmina.

She told the family she had gone back to Lord Villa, but in fact, she stood in the hallway and didn’t leave.

The image of her wedding to Zachary came to her mind.

She remembered that day in Times River, when Finn had righteously promised her to help her.

She couldn’t save her dad, and now Finn was the only hope.

However, Finn was in an awkward position.

For her, this would be difficult anyway.

But if she didn’t speak up, no one else could.

In order to take her situation into account, Frank and Yesmina would definitely rather suffer themselves than agree to Finn’s kidney donation.

Yvonne stayed up all night until four o’clock in the morning, when a man appeared in the corridor, walking towards her.

"Can I talk to you?"

*

It was late.

Most of the city stores were closed, and there was one McDonald was still open near the hospital.

There was a barely person in McDonald’s, just a couple of boys and girls studying for exams.

Yvonne sat down across from Finn with a slightly apprehensive expression.

"I’m sorry... I was thinking that I shouldn’t have agreed to sit here with you."

"Why?" He asked.

The man still looked the same as she remembered, gentle and polite.

Only he was different from the student age. Finn was already a big man in business.

He showed a sense of elite.

Yvonne said, "I know that you want to talk about the kidney donation for my father, and I should have decisively refused, but I still agreed to sit here with you...

She agreed to talk, which meant she was hesitating - to take it or not.

She shouldn’t have hesitated.

Finn asked, "Why can’t you accept it?"

"Because there’s no reason why it should be accepted."

Yvonne said, "I... owe you a lot already, the transplant is not a trivial matter, it will also cause damage to your body, there is no reason why you should help us, and... if

accept it, Zachary will also be unhappy, I... "You’re thinking of all these reasons for yourself,"

Finn said, "You’re afraid that you’ll be under pressure yourself if you accept my help and make Zachary under pressure as well, but have you ever thought about whether your father’s illness can still be delayed?"

Yvonne stopped talking.

Her fingers clenched together.

She knew she couldn’t put it off any longer, she just hadn’t been able to force herself to make that determination.

"I understand..."

"Mr. Taylor is also a family friend of my father’s, and he is an elder,"

"Even if I don’t like you, Yvonne,"

Finn said, despite the calm tone of his voice, his eyes were sincere.

"I’ll consider a donation, too."

Even if I didn’t like you, I would consider a donation.

But it was because I liked you that I wanted to do something for you anyway.

Yvonne gritted her teeth and bowed her head, "That’s why I can’t accept that..."

"Unless, you make a condition and I try to meet it..."

"I told you, I have no conditions."

"If there are no conditions, there’s even less reason for me to accept." Yvonne said.

"If you must have a reason to accept it, consider it for me."

"For you?" She asked numbly.

Finn smiled.

"Yeah, for me."

It was dawn outside the door. The sun rose. The man’s finely sculpted face, handsome as if he’d stepped out of a movie, was out of place in all this setting under the warm lights inside McDonald’s.

He laughed slightly and said, "Yvonne, you know what,"
