Chapter 475 It Would Be Worth It
In the car, Scarlet anxiously fixed her gaze on the cab ahead, asking, “Are Zacharias and Fanny really going to the hospital?”
James remained silent, his expression grim. He, too, was watching the cab ahead, lost in thought.
Hugh, the driver, seeing James deep in contemplation, answered Scarlet, “Yes, Madam Scarlet, this road indeed leads to that private hospital.”
James had previously briefed Scarlet about Zacharias‘ contact with the private hospital. It was this clear explanation of the stakes involved that convinced Scarlet to wait outside instead of immediately confronting Zacharias for answers.
“What should we do then? How do we handle this?” Scarlet was at a loss, then suddenly asserted, “We can’t let Zacharias find out! Hurry, catch up to them and stop them!”
She was adamant about keeping Zacharias in the dark, unwilling to see him actually donate his kidney.
Hugh, feeling uncomfortable, said, “Madam Scarlet, it’s difficult to overtake here. We should handle it at the hospital.”
Initially, Hugh was reluctant to bring Scarlet along, fearing she might complicate matters.
However, James was concerned that leaving her with Zacharias might also lead to problems. So, he took Scarlet out early in the morning to divert her attention and visit Joseph to ensure they were not missing any crucial information.
Scarlet seemed to sense something was amiss and returned quickly without meeting Zacharias.
Eventually, James decided it was best to keep her with him.
“It’ll be too late by the time we reach the hospital!” Scarlet insisted.
With no choice, Hugh said, “Madam Scarlet, it won’t be too late. We can switch the test results.”
James added, “Mom, don’t worry about it. Hugh and I planned to replace the results with a negative match after they come out.”
Although it might take some effort, James believed it would be worth it. Ensuring both Zacharias and Fanny give up on the idea after this test was crucial.

Hearing James‘ plan, Scarlet finally understood, yet remained apprehensive. “James, can we really keep it a secret?”
Despite understanding James‘ intentions and knowing that success would lessen their worries, Scarlet couldn’t fully ease her mind.
James reassured her with a nod, “Mom, trust me.”
Taking a deep breath, Scarlet agreed to proceed with the plan.
After a moment of silence in the car, still on their way to the hospital, she broached another concern, “Is there really no news about a kidney donor?”
She feared that even if they managed to deceive them this time, Zacharias might try again in the future. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
The only viable solution to the problem was finding a kidney donor.
Days had passed without any news, leaving them anxious.
James shook his head. “Mom, the waiting list is too long; it’s beyond our control.”
Hearing the helplessness in her son’s voice, Scarlet didn’t
press further.
Soon, Zacharias and Fanny were at the hospital for compatibility testing.
Despite paying for expedited processing, they were told the results wouldn’t be available until the next day, which disappointed Zacharias.
“You said the results would be quick,” Zacharias noted to the doctor, a friend with whom he had only recently reconnected.
The doctor shrugged. “You were too late. Had you arrived earlier this morning, we could have had the results by tonight. Now, it will be tomorrow. The lab technicians need rest, too.”
Fanny felt waiting one more day was acceptable, especially since she never expected to get a transplant in Northland.
She hoped to return to Riverdon with Zacharias, relying on Christopher’s support. With Christopher present, even if the Kins Family did not support her receiving Zacharias‘ kidney, Christopher could take care of her whenever needed.
“Zacharias, the results will be out tomorrow. There’s no need to hurry,” Fanny reassured.
Zacharias glanced at the doctor again, considering the possibility of James and Scarlet returning soon, and suggested, “Let’s
go home.”

Once they left the hospital, they quickly made their way back home.
On the way back, Zacharias made Fanny promise not to tell James and Scarlet about their hospital visit, to which she readily agreed.
After Zacharias and Fanny left the hospital, Hugh led James to see the doctor Zacharias had met earlier.
When Scarlet saw the doctor greeting Hugh and mentioning Zacharias and Fanny, she rushed to confirm. “Did they really come for compatibility testing?”
“Yes,” replied the doctor.
She felt a mix of anxiety and anger, wondering how Fanny could agree to come with Zacharias for a match without changing her expression when leaving.
Scarlet, both anxious and angry, questioned further, “Did Fanny do it voluntarily? Did she know?”
She couldn’t comprehend why Fanny would agree to compatibility testing with her brother, knowing well that Zacharias‘ health wouldn’t withstand losing a kidney.
Upon hearing the doctor’s confirmation that Fanny was aware, she felt faint and nearly collapsed, but James caught her in time, quickly changing the subject.
“Please take care of the test results,” James said to the doctor while supporting Scarlet.
The doctor smiled. “I will do as Hugh requested.”
Noticing Scarlet’s poor condition, Hugh asked, “Should we do a check–up for your mom?”
James declined, “No need, I’ll take her to see Joseph.”
Scarlet insisted, “Let’s go to see Joseph.”
Their excuse for the outing was indeed to visit Joseph, who was still detained, and Scarlet was worried about him.
After sending them off, Hugh gestured to James for a call, indicating they would communicate later.
Once the couple had left, Hugh asked the doctor for a detailed account of Zacharias and Fanny’s visit, intending to finalize the timing of the test results after consulting with James.
The doctor agreed and recounted everything without omission.
