CHAPTER 360
‘Seriously? Asking Gregory for help?‘ I can’t help but wonder if I was too pessimistic. Given his obsession with Lilliana, I’d put my faith in Ramona rather than him. Despite his constant complaints about Lilliana being all wrong for him, he’d never stand by and watch her die, not even if there was just a one–in–a–thousand chance.
Gregory was not one to waffle, Sacrificing me was something I saw coming a mile away,
Bang! Surprisingly, without any prior argument heard from outside, there was a sudden loud bang. With the door kicked open wide, Gregory stormed in with a chilling aura.
To my utter astonishment, he strode in, untied me in seconds, and ripped off the duct tape from my mouth with trembling hands. “Jane, how could you be so foolish again!”
I tried to say something. “…”
“Enough, don’t speak. You look terrible.” After ensuring they didn’t drain my blood, his expression softened, though still with disdain. “I’m taking you to a doctor.”
“Greg!” Dorothy was momentarily frightened by his presence, but she quickly regained her composure and bit back, “You can’t take her with you today, no matter what!”
Gregory ignored Dorothy. He bent down to pick me up and leave,
“Greg!” Susan directly commanded the bodyguards to block the door. “This time, I can’t let you have your way, boy,”
Gregory’s gaze turned stormy, and he gently stroked my hands to soothe the irritation from the rashes. His usually indifferent face was cold, and he mocked, “Did you all forget it is the Ford family’s hospital? Tell your men to back off.”
“You can leave, but Jane can’t,” Susan insisted.
“Then tell your people to kill me. If they can’t, I must take her away.” Gregory’s eyes lit up with fierce intensity, and he sneered, “If you’re going to fight, make it quick. Don’t delay me taking her to see a doctor.”
The Myers family wouldn’t dare. Having already offended the RF, it wouldn’t be long before the Myers family vanished from Vista Town if they were to clash with the Ford family.
Anxious and angry, Ramona hesitated before saying, “Let Gregory and Jane go!”
“Grandma!” Seeing that, Dorothy rushed to the door. “You could care less about me, but can you be so indifferent to Lilliana?”
Ramona had been worried about Lilliana’s bloodline and was visibly exhausted. “Haven’t you seen what condition Jane is in? Continuing to take her blood might kill her.”
Dorothy scoffed. “It’s just the life of an outsider. Is that more important than Lilliana’s?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“I know Lilliana, Ramona said, leaning on her servant for support. ‘She’s always been kind–hearted. If her life comes at the expense of someone else’s, she will live in quilt for the rest of her life.”
“But Ramona, that was when she was a child? Susan was frantic. “Do you know what Lilliana thinks now? Have you asked her if she wants to die?”
“And have you asked Jane that? Just because she wasn’t born into the Myers family, does she deserve to die?” Ramona stood her ground.
But I could see the hesitation on her face.
Indeed, it’s natural to hesitate when you have to choose between family and a strange
The black market for organ trading wouldn’t exist if everyone had principles and reason.
Suddenly, Dorothy glared at Gregory. “What about you, Greg? Lilliana is the person you’ve been waiting for over twenty years. Are you willing to watch her die for Jane? Ah!”
Gregory abruptly choked Dorothy! While looking down at her, Gregory’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “I remember your blood type also matches, doesn’t it?”
Suddenly, fear flashed in Dorothy’s eyes. I can’t. I’m way too thin. I don’t meet the weight requirement for donating blood…”
Gregory glanced at the medical staff, asking coldly, “Will she die?”
“Mr. Ford, she won’t die if we control the amount of blood.”
