Theodore endured the anxiety and sadness, and thanked the relatives who came to the blood test one by one. Although many tests were done, they still hadn't found a suitable match for two days, but Lucia still sincerely thanked everyone who was willing to help.
Arthur saw that Lucia bowed deeply to the relatives who came to match every time, and his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe. But as Teddy's father, he must not let the slightest hesitation be in his eyes, the slightest weakness be in his heart, so he accompanied Lucia to sincerely thank every family member.
On the third night, Lucia couldn't eat.
She had always remembered every one of the Davis family who came. So far, the number of the Davis family who came to match had reached thirty-five, but... no one can match Teddy's blood type. Lucia's mood was getting worse. Arthur was anxious and discussed with his parents in private.
"Mom, dad, we haven't found a suitable candidate yet. At present, only Otis, Bailey and my younger brother can be matched. He has already rushed home from school. Otis and Bailey happen to be on a business trip in Europe, so they will go back to New York directly waiting for us. Now that the relatives in our hometown are no longer matched. We will return to New York immediately."
Edwin nodded approvingly, but he seemed to have something to say. Arthur saw that he was holding back and asked, "Dad, do you have any ideas?"
Edwin turned his head to look at his wife beside him, and then said to Arthur, "Arthur, you forgot how many people there are."
"Who?" Arthur was under a lot of pressure these days, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could help Teddy.
"Your Uncle Ellio, Elliot and his two sons and daughters. I have called them to inform them. If we can't find a match here, they will come over immediately. But if we can't find it, then the rest will be..." "Erik and Spencer!" Arthur knew the answer before Edwin could finish his words.
"Yes," Edwin replied. "It's just that now we have a tense relation with Erik and his son. You and Spencer are even so... I don't know if they are still willing to help."
Edwin's words were full of worry.
Arthur understood Edwin's concerns, but he answered without hesitation, "If they can save Teddy, I would even kneel for them!"
Arthur was willing to do everything he could to save the child.
"Arthur, we know what to do with your words," Sophie said. "You have an upright personality. Before, your father and I thought that you would be unwilling to ask them for help and couldn't let go of your principles. Since you said so, we are ready to negotiate with them."
Arthur knew the characters of Erik and Spencer. They were extremely greedy. If they really negotiated, they would never be soft-hearted. When their parents said that, they were prepared to give everything just like him. Arthur felt both guilty and moved and said to his parents,
"Mom, dad, thank you... I know that if I want to ask them, you will be more embarrassed than me..."
"Silly boy, Teddy is our grandson!" Sophie scolded Arthur distressedly, and added, "Besides, there are still a few of us. Maybe there is a suitable match, not necessarily asking them."
"Well, then I'll tell Lucia. We'll leave for New York tomorrow." Arthur responded.
After 8 o'clock in the evening, after discussing with his parents, Arthur will decide to tell Lucia who was obviously much more decadent. She just nodded quietly, and then stared out the window in a daze. Arthur pulled Lucia into his arms distressedly, and asked her softly, "Lucia, why don't you have a video call with Teddy?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Over the past three days, Lucia had countless opportunities to contact Theodore through video calls, but she didn't have any. Arthur knew she didn't dare, didn't dare to see their son's pain. And she was unwilling, unwilling that they didn't find hope for him.
"No, I absolutely can't see Teddy now!"Lucia turned around and said excitedly, "I'm afraid of I will ..."
She couldn't say anything, and the tears had already flowed down. God knew how much Lucia wanted to fly to her son and hug him tightly, but she couldn't do that until she found a suitable match. Because once she saw her son, she would definitely collapse. She can't pass this negative emotion to her son who was suffering from illness, so she must find a match as soon as possible! She will take the person who can save his life. She will go back to her son and tell him that everything will be alright!
Arthur didn't wipe Lucia's tears, because Arthur's eyes were also red. He could only hold Lucia tightly in his arms, let his heart stick to the place closest to her, and tell her that he was by her side.
Lucia and Arthur were comforting and leaning on each other in their grief when someone was knocking on the door.
Arthur stood up to open the door, and as soon as Lucia lost his embrace, she was as soft on the sofa as a broken doll.
Taking a deep breath and calming his emotions, Arthur slowly opened the door. He thought it would be his parents, but when he saw the two people standing outside the door, he frowned tightly. "Arthur, why, are you so unhappy to see your uncle?" It was Erik and his son standing outside the door. Seeing Arthur frown in surprise, Erik still wanted to "trick" him.
"You..." Arthur dragged his words, not daring to guess what they were here for.
"Spencer and I came back when we learned of Teddy's illness," Erik said, glancing around the room and continuing,
"Why didn't you inform us? If my relatives didn't mention it to me, we wouldn't know that such a big thing happened."
Erik's words were full of caring reproaches, and his expression looked also heartbroken, but unfortunately Arthur didn't believe it, and didn't respond immediately, but looked at Spencer, who was silent. Catching Arthur's eyes, Spencer smiled calmly at him and said, "Arthur, there is a conflict between us, but it's about Teddy's life, how could I, as his uncle, stand by and watch? So when Dad and I heard the news, we came here."
"Spencer is right. No matter what misunderstandings we had before, Teddy's condition is more important now. Spencer and I are willing to draw blood for matching. If the matching is successful, we are bound to donate bone marrow!" Erik simply used "misunderstanding" to take over the grievances between the two families, and said righteously.
Although Erik's words were not credible, Arthur politely thanked him, "Thank you, Erik."
