Jessica’s face turned pale as she bit her lip in grievance. She questioned, “Seraphina, how could you say that? It’s all because of me that Orion’s been ignoring you. I feel so terrible.”

Seraphina didn’t want to waste any more time with her. She turned directly to the doctor standing nearby and demanded, “I want to see her test results for today.”

The doctor was stunned and hesitated to react. After all, the test result was a matter of patient privacy.

Orion glanced at the doctor and spoke in a calm tone. He commanded, “Show it to her; Seraphina isn’t an outsider.”

Jessica’s expression turned grim, but Seraphina merely smirked. She soon held the report in her hands.

She scanned it quickly, her face showing nothing.

There was nothing wrong with the report. Jessica had severe kidney failure, and she was recommended for an immediate transplant of a healthy kidney.

The doctor spoke up from the side. “The patient’s condition is very serious. If she doesn’t get surgery soon, her life will be in danger.”

Orion added, “Seraphina, if you’re willing to donate a kidney to Jessica, you’ll get half of the family assets after the divorce.”

Jessica glanced at Orion, shocked by his words, before quickly responding, “No, no, Orion, you’ve already sacrificed so much for me! I can’t drag you down any further!”

Orion was deeply moved. He said, “No. Your brother gave his life to save me. I won’t abandon you!”

Seraphina sneered coldly as she watched the scene unfold.

Honestly, from the start, she hadn’t believed Jessica’s claim of kidney failure. As a woman, she could tell that Jessica’s pale complexion was nothing more than makeup.

If she were truly that ill, why would she bother with cosmetics?

But none of that matters now. She could play along.

“If your condition is so serious, then let’s go ahead with the surgery right away,” Seraphina said abruptly.

“What? Are you saying you’ll donate your kidney to Jessica?” Orion asked with a pleasant surprise.

Jessica was equally shocked. She wanted to say something, but Seraphina cut her off. “Of course, but not with me. I’ve already brought someone with RH-negative blood, so don’t worry. I’ve made sure there won’t be any complications.”

Ever since Emeris discovered his daughter possessed the uncommon RH-negative blood type, he has closely monitored individuals with the same type across the country. That way, in case of an emergency, there would always be a match.

Among them were a few struggling financially—people willing to exchange a kidney for the right price for a more comfortable life.

“Really?” Orion’s face lit up with relief. Seraphina wouldn’t have to sacrifice herself with this arrangement, and Jessica would still get the treatment she needed. It was the best possible outcome.

Jessica’s expression darkened. Her illness was fake. It was merely a ploy to get rid of Seraphina. She had already arranged for the attending doctor to stage the surgery, but only gave her a fake scar. The plan was to sell off Seraphina’s kidney!

Seraphina’s scheme collapsed when she found another donor.

Seraphina’s next words plunged her into utter despair.

“Oh, I didn’t trust the doctors here, so I called Professor Stanley from the Serenity Health Institute in Marisol. He’ll be performing the surgery himself. He’s currently in the director’s office. “I’ll get him.”

Jessica’s attending doctor instinctively wanted to protest, but at the mention of Professor Stanley, he immediately fell silent.

There was no arguing with that. Stanley was a world-renowned urologist, the top in his field. The attending doctor couldn’t compete.

Jessica felt uneasy. At this point, even if she wasn’t sick, she might just fall ill from fear alone.

Were they really going to perform a kidney transplant on her after replacing her attending physician?

Her concern wasn’t unfounded. Stanley gained global recognition for his expertise in kidney transplants. His surgical skills were unmatched, with a near-perfect success rate. His extensive knowledge of transplant procedures made him an authority in the field.

If Stanley truly took charge of the surgery, Jessica had no way out. She had only bribed the attending doctor—there was no chance Stanley would play along with her schemes.
