Chapter 508: 503 Let Me Do It_1
“Who are you saying is at odds?” Amanda Leaford rebuked her, and casting a glance at Ethan Hopkins, a touch of impatience crossed her face, “Take your people and leave immediately. You don’t deserve to be here.”
This was Ethan Hopkins’ first time meeting his mother-in-law, and he never imagined that she would be so fierce, so venomous in her words.
Ethan Hopkins’s face changed slightly. His gaze wandered, with no place to land.
Facing Amanda Leaford’s accusation, Gillian Thompson was no longer as hurt and sad as before.
Amanda Leaford was not her birth mother in the first place, so she had no expectations and therefore no disappointments.
“Mom, I will call you mom for the last time. After all, you will soon divorce my father. I know you don’t like me, I won’t force you. After all, everyone favors their own children, I understand.” Gillian Thompson slightly lifted her chin, smiling brilliantly, “But you’re about to end your marital relationship with my father, do you still care about his relationships with others?”
“I want to tell you, you may not be my mom, but Daddy will always be my daddy.”
The moment Gillian Thompson finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere became tense.
Joshua Thompson sneered, ready to yell back, when Nicholas Thompson glanced at Gillian Thompson’s belly and promptly blocked Joshua, “What she said is correct. She’s not demanding a share of the Thompson family’s property right now. You really can’t control who she calls dad or mom.”
After Nicholas Thompson finished speaking, he felt Damian Thompson’s and Molly Walker’s gaze lightly resting on him.
He knew that every time he helped Gillian Thompson, he was risking displeasure from the family. But Gillian was pregnant and he didn’t want to see another sister lose her baby.
Even if Gillian did something wrong, the child in her belly was innocent.
“Nicholas Thompson, your arms are still way out of line,” Joshua Thompson rolled his eyes and spoke bluntly, “I wish you all had Hopkins as your surname. Being in the same family with you disgusts me.”
Nicholas Thompson frowned at Gillian Thompson, about to reveal her pregnancy, “Gillian, she…”
“Excuse me, who is Mr. Thompson’s family member?” The doctor approached with the examination sheet, interrupting him.
“Hello, Doctor. I am Daniel Thompson’s eldest son.”
Damian Thompson stepped forward as the doctor handed him the examination sheet, “Has the patient experienced any abnormal circumstances recently or in the past? We have his patient file here. There was no problem a month ago, but now, he has uremia. The situation is quite critical.”
As soon as the doctor’s words were spoken, the corridor fell silent.
Uremia, it turned out to be uremia!
“I heard from the bodyguard that he has been drinking sweet beverages every day for the past month.” Damian Thompson looked at Amanda Leaford, “I suspect it’s a result of a previous underlying illness, coupled with recent indulgence.”
Amanda Leaford was silent.
She hadn’t expected that a simple divorce would lead to so many unforeseen events.
“Drinking beverages for a month?” Joshua Thompson raised his voice abruptly, “He really doesn’t care about his own health, drinking himself into a state of uremia. If this were to get out, it would be a trending topic.”
“In fact, we have seen such cases in our hospital before. Uremia can have many causes, of course, yours might be one of them. But looking at his current situation, it’s not very good.” The doctor glanced at the reports in his hand, “At his age, he either needs conservative treatment or a kidney transplant.”
“A kidney transplant?!” Gillian Thompson was stunned by the news, “Doctor… do you have a kidney source here?”
If anything happened to Daniel Thompson, she would really get nothing.
Perhaps even the company that Daniel Thompson had given her would be discovered and taken away by the other Thompsons.
Only if Daniel Thompson was alive, would she have hope.
“I’m sorry, but kidneys are scarce nationwide. We usually recommend that family members get tested first, and donation from a family member would be best, otherwise, you’ll have to wait in line for a kidney.”
Donation from a family member…
Gillian Thompson looked at Molly Walker, and seeing her unmoved, scoffed, “Test me. I am his daughter, I’m willing to donate my kidney to him.”
After saying this, she lifted her chin high in defiance.
Everyone was slightly surprised to hear her speak so eagerly.
Amanda Leaford watched her, her eyebrows ticking up slightly.
She had thought that Gillian Thompson would only selfishly run away, but she did not expect her to take the lead at this time.
However, Gillian Thompson had planned it all out.
Even though she could not win the favor of the rest of the Thompson family, once Daniel woke up, this matter would definitely reach his ears.
By the time her pregnancy is detected, and she cannot donate the kidney, it would not be her fault.
She had calculated everything in her heart, but it sounded somewhat strange to Nicholas Thompson.
Nicholas Thompson took a look at Gillian Thompson and sighed lightly.
No matter whether Gillian’s intentions were genuine or not, she could not donate.
Even if she wanted to, he would not allow it.
He didn’t want to lose another nephew.
“Let me do it.” Nicholas Thompson stood up and said, “I’m sure my father and my kidneys are a match.”
Chaos ensued.
Molly Walker looked at Nicholas Thompson, her lips lifting slightly.
She didn’t expect Nicholas Thompson to be so protective of Gillian Thompson.
She didn’t believe that Gillian Thompson would be willingly donate a kidney to Daniel.
If she could say such words, she must have something to rely on.
If Gillian Thompson wanted to show off, she would not let her have her way.
“Kidney donation requires mutual consent. If Gillian Thompson wants to show off, Nicholas, why are you trying to act tough?” Molly Walker threw out this statement.
Seeing that she was choked by these words, Gillian Thompson indignantly said: “Don’t think that everyone is as cold-blooded and heartless as you are. Not just Daddy, even if it’s Mom … Aunt Leaford, I’m willing to donate.”
“The Thompson family has raised me for so many years. Even if everyone in the Thompson family hates me and does not recognize me, I will do everything I can to repay my foster parents. Whether it’s my kidney or even my life, I’m willing to give it up.”
Gillian Thompson’s words were moving, and if Molly Walker didn’t know her, she might have been moved by her words too.
Unfortunately, she understood Gillian Thompson.
If Gillian Thompson was really grateful to the Thompson family, she wouldn’t have hurt herself, and Joshua Thompson.
The nature of Gillian Thompson is evil.
“Enough, don’t say anything.” Nicholas Thompson walked in front of his oldest brother and said seriously, “Remember the comprehensive examination we did once? Only my father and I were the most matched.”
Damian Thompson furrowed his brow, “Perhaps we can look for other kidney sources.”
“There’s no time.” Nicholas Thompson’s gaze was firm. “Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? There’s a shortage of kidneys nationwide, and besides, Dad can’t wait any longer, use mine.”
“Wait, let me explain. Even though you two are father and son, it does not necessarily mean that you are completely matched. If there is a mismatch, and the body rejects the organ, it’s not good for either of you. I think you should get tested.” The doctor, seeing his determination, hurriedly explained to avoid a misunderstanding.
“No need for testing. Among all of us here, only my father and I are the most matching.”
“I think you two are a match too.” Joshua Thompson huffed coldly. “If you want to give your kidney so much, then we won’t stop you. I won’t donate anyway, there’s no need to test either.”
Joshua Thompson crossed his arms over his chest, with a leisurely sneer, “He has hurt so many people, and yet he still wants to get a kidney from someone else. It’s enough if you and his beloved adopted daughter donate. We don’t need to test. It will just waste medical resources.”
