"Lucia couldn't have done something like that, and if she did, she was forced to!" Daphne had unconditional trust in Lucia's character.

"Now that Teddy has had the surgery, it confirms to some extent what Arthur and I suspected. We both believe that Lucia was coerced by Spencer to blackmail her on the condition of Teddy. Otherwise Lucia would never have had an affair with anyone else, and never with the hypocritical Spencer."

Eduard said so, stroking his chin.

"Now I'm concerned about Arthur's state. I don't know how complicated his mind will be in the face of such a situation." Kane, in turn, was more worried about Arthur.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"To be honest, it was the first time I saw Arthur that way. There was almost no light in his eyes. If Lucia is really serious this time, it would hurt Arthur too badly..." Eduard said with a low sigh. Hearing Eduard's words, Daphne and Kane were silent, hoping that this was not true.

Lucia's emotions today can be described as complicated to the extreme. Theodore finally went to the operating table and successfully completed the allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with the cooperation of a strong team of doctors. No rejection had been detected, and the body was recovering at an amazing rate. Of course, medication was also needed.

On the other hand, Spencer was also lying on the hospital bed. Before doing the surgery, he needed to be injected drugs to raise white blood cells. There will be sore bones and other discomfort. No one knew whether Spencer was intentional or not. He asked to rest in the ward first.

Lucia truly didn't want to pay attention to Spencer, but when she thought that he had indeed donated bone marrow to Theodore, she felt sorry for him in humane terms and kept hesitating to go and see him. At this time, people who accompanied Theodore in the ward was the Browns. Today when Theodore underwent the surgery, even Mr. Brown personally guarded outside the operating room.

With Shawn, Helena and Reynolds' appearances, it could be known that Mr. Brown must also be handsome. This year, he was fifty-six years old, but was still elegant. European and American people aged faster, so there were a lot of wrinkles on Mr. Brown's face. With his poise, it not only would not let people feel aging but also add a touch of maturity and wisdom. Mr. Brown was a standard charming uncle because of his noble and charming temperament.

Mr. Brown in fact had been very optimistic about Lucia, and wanted to bring her and Reynolds together before. However, Reynolds had the intention but Lucia didn't. but this did not prevent him from Lucia's appreciation, especially for Theodore's favor. Although this time he did not appear in the hospital, he had always been concerned about Theodore's condition.

"Lucia, now you can rest assured, Dr. Clarke said Teddy's recovery is very good. If he can keep it up, he can go home for observation in about half a month." In the ward, Mr. Brown said to Lucia.

"Thank you, Chris," Chris was Mr. Brown's name, and Lucia thanked him gratefully.

"We're family." Chris said with a kind smile.

While Theodore's surgery was successful and everyone was relaxed, there was one person who was always apprehensive: Helena.

Helena came to the hospital with her mother Esmae this morning to find the Davis all disappeared. She thought they were temporarily back to rest, but the during the whole day, they never appeared, especially in Theodore surgery moment. How could they leave?

Helena really could not find an opportunity to ask Lucia, so secretly called Otis. However, his phone had been off. What Helena could think was that maybe he was on the plane, and indeed that was right. When Theodore underwent the surgery, the Davis was on the private plane back to New York.

Helena was naturally happy for the success of Theodore's surgery, but there was always a bad feeling in her mind.

With her mother Esmae by Lucia's side all the time, Helena really couldn't do anything else. After nightfall, she snuck into the atrium of the hospital to call Otis again.

"Otis, you finally answered the phone!" As soon as the call was answered, Helena was excited.

On the other end of the phone, Otis did not say anything for a while, so Helena asked anxiously.

"Otis, why did you all leave? You know, good news came from the hospital today. We finally found a bone marrow donor suitable for Teddy and the person is in Isermik. My mom had him helped us straight away. Now the operation has been done. It was very successful. Teddy is not awake yet, but he is recovering well."

"So soon?" Otis didn't seem surprised and made an incongruous remark.

Helena was confused and asked, "What does that mean?"

"Nothing. We have our reason for leaving," Otis said, "Just take care of Lucia and Teddy."

"I just want to know what is the reason!" Helena was capricious when she flared up, and besides, Otis was obviously perfunctory, and she was a little upset.

"It's hard to say, but I'll explain it to you afterwards, okay?" Otis soothed her and then asked, "Have you met the bone marrow donor? Who is he?"

"Yes, just a very ordinary man. He left after the observation period in the afternoon. Before leaving, my mom gave him a check for a million dollars as a reward. He declined at first, then accepted." Helena replied quickly.

"Just a regular man?" Otis' voice sounded a little deeper as he asked again, "What about Spencer? Did Spencer show up at the hospital today?"

"Why mention him all of a sudden?" Helena asked this, frowning.

"You can just tell me." Otis didn't want to say much.

"Well," Helena said with a grimace, "he and his father did show up once, said some polite words of concern, looked phony, and then left."

Otis was silent for a long time, which made Helena more confused.

"Everything is so wrong, Otis. Can't you be straight with me about it?"

"Helena, I'm sorry. I really don't have an explanation right now. I'll talk to you face to face when I come to see you some time later, okay?" Otis said and sighed, which was heard by Helena.

She knew Otis's character very well. He did things in a clear way. If he said he can't tell, then it really meant it, so Helena can only give up and asked no further questions. The two talked a few small talk and hung up. She did not know that the Davis family, thousands of miles away, was excited because of the phone call.
