The smile on Spencer's face faded a little bit. Lucia showed her disgust for him again and again.

"I remind you again, Lucia Webb," A trace of displeasure rose between his eyebrows.

"My patience is limited. Don't be rude to me all the time. My bone marrow can save Theodore, but I can choose not to save him. Even if people all over the world accuse me of being ruthless, I can still choose not to save him!"

Staring into the darkness in Spencer's eyes, Lucia knew he was serious. With his character, he had already had a quarrel with Edwin, and he really could do it.

However, Lucia was really not afraid of it!

She started scolding Spencer again,

"Spencer, your patience is limited, mine is not? You keep saying you want me to change my mind, but what have you been doing? Love me? Loving me but threatening me with my son's life? Loving me but watching me worry about Teddy's condition? Spencer, do you misunderstand the word love?!"

"It's all because of Arthur!" Spencer was also excited, and shouted bitterly,

"You only have Arthur in your eyes! Can I pursue you in a gentleman's way?! Will you give me one more look if I use normal means? I don't understand love? It's because I understand that I'm so cruel! What's more, I didn't cause Teddy's disease, did I? How could I be so cruel that I wouldn't save him? I just stick to my principles. I won't save Arthur's son, but as long as you're with me, I'll definitely save him." Lucia was almost speechless when she heard these remarks. How distorted was this person's fundamental values? His so-called love was not love at all, just possessiveness, right?

Talking to this kind of person more will only make her mad.

Lucia lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Spencer. She took a few steps back, calmed down and said lightly, "Wait for my news."

"Lucia, Teddy's condition has deteriorated. Are you still waiting?" Spencer didn't expect her to hesitate, so he asked her impatiently.

"Don't worry about it," Lucia still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and now Arthur was waiting at the database. Maybe one afternoon, there will be a miracle.

"I'll tell you when I've decided."

Spencer suppressed his inner anxiety and smiled calmly. When Lucia turned around, he did not forget to say, "Lucia, remember, this matter must not be leaked out. As long as a third person knows, you know what I will do."

Lucia stopped when she heard this, gave Spencer a deep glance and left.

Spencer collected the report and left the hospital complacently, knowing that Lucia would definitely agree.

On the way back to the ward, Lucia trampled, but felt her head light.

Sometimes she really didn't understand whether she was not favored by God, or whether her fate should have been so eventful for a long time. Why she always had to keep choosing among the people she loved and wandering constantly.

To save Teddy, she had to hurt Arthur. Both of which were Lucia's favorite, but she had to let go of Arthur because her son was in danger. And Arthur...maybe recover slowly in the future.

Can he?

Lucia asked herself.

Almost immediately, a voice inside her heart answered her. Arthur loved her so much. He'll be in pain for the rest of his life.

Lucia had a heartache.

Lucia didn't know how long it took that she walked back to the ward. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Arthur sitting beside Theodore who was sleeping in his previous position. Holding his hand and looking at him, she felt distressed.

Arthur looked at Theodore, and Lucia looked at Arthur. They were obviously father and son, obviously a community of destiny, but they were placed on opposite ends of a scale. Lucia was too afraid to call out to Arthur.

But Arthur noticed Lucia's gaze, turned his head, and asked softly, "Lucia, where did you go?"

Lucia didn't answer. She walked into the ward and asked him, "Why did you come back? Didn't you mean to wait for the bone marrow donor to show up?"

Arthur's eyes dimmed when he heard this. Lucia didn't need him to answer to know what it meant, walked over and leaned over Arthur's shoulders, burying her face in his hair.

Arthur was silent, and wrapped his arms around Lucia's waist, all in a gesture of intimacy. "Arthur, if we can save Teddy, we're going to try anyway, right?" Lucia murmured suddenly. "Certainly," Arthur said without hesitation, "whatever it takes...as long as it saves our son..." Arthur was even willing to give his life.

"Um..." Lucia replied softly, before adding after a long, long time, "I thought so too."

Arthur didn't know the contradiction in Lucia's heart. He thought Lucia was too disappointed, so he raised his head to comfort her, "Lucia, don't give up. We still have a chance. I don't believe that among millions of people, there is really no one who can save Teddy."

Lucia didn't say a word, but she answered in her heart, yes, there was someone who can save Teddy, but she was the one who was the least willing to ask him for help.

Theodore didn't wake up until nearly four in the afternoon. Because of Lucia's hesitation, no further treatment had been taken, and he was still relying on medication to control his condition.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The brothers of the Davis family had already visited once in turn, but because they didn't want to disturb Theodore, they didn't stay too long. Seeing the people around him coming and going, Lucia couldn't help but think of Helena. While Lucia was thinking about having not seen her, Helena arrived, and Lucia was deeply moved by someone else.

"Reynolds!" Seeing a handsome man walking into the ward behind Helena, Lucia immediately stood up and shouted involuntarily. Even Theodore, who was a little weak, jumped up and shouted the man's name with joy.

The person who came was Reynolds Brown, Esmae's second son.

"Lucia... Teddy..." Following Helena into the ward, and seeing the slightly haggard Lucia and the thin and weak Theodore, Reynolds was so distressed that he didn't know what to say.

Lucia walked over to meet Reynolds, and before she had time to speak, she was embraced by Reynolds. She also excitedly hugged Reynolds back and said in a hoarse voice, "Reynolds, you're back."

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention to checking my phone while I was in Africa some time ago. I didn't even know about Teddy's illness. I came back late."
