Chapter 126
His words stunned me because Quinn had two kidneys when she left the orphanage, and he wouldn't know that she
only had one now.
Unless…, I thought, a bold conclusion appeared in my mind.
I wanted to ask Kevin about it, but the nurse urged me into the ER. So, I held back the questions in my mind and
followed her into the operation room.
Keeping me away from the bloody scene, she brought me to a seat next to Francesca, where I could hold her hand,
and informed me, "Try your best to calm her and don't let her fall asleep. Speak about things which usually make
her happy."
Francesca appeared very weak and frail, and cold sweat beaded her forehead as if she had exhausted all her
energy. She gazed at me with glazed eyes and finally murmured feebly, "Is that you, Renee?"
I tightened my grip on her hand. "Yes, it's me."
"Quinn stepped on my heel. I lost my balance and fell down the staircase. Ms. Felix, will my baby survive?"
I didn't know the answer to that, but the fact that she was still alive now was an immense consolation. With tears in
my eyes, I replied, "I asked the doctor earlier, and he said that the baby would be fine as long as you can hold on!
Miss Gant, I heard from the doctor that it's a baby girl."
"You're lying. The baby isn't even out yet."
Her lips curved into a grin on her listless face, and I squeezed her hand, completing my lie as I said, "I'm not lying.
The baby is almost out now. You have to hold on, and the baby will be fine!"
"Okay, I trust you," she muttered and passed out.
Panic-stricken, I shouted for the doctor, and the nurse led me out of the ER. The operation lasted thirteen hours,
and the baby was born at 9.09PM. However, Francesca's life was still in danger, and the doctor continued to save
her in the ER.
At 11.00PM, the doctors finally stabilized her vitals, but the child was born prematurely and was transferred to the
ICU ward.
At the moment, the baby was in critical condition, and nobody knew what would happen to it, but fortunately, there
was still hope for its survival.
At least, it gave Francesca hope to hold onto her life.
When everything finally ended, Quinn popped into my mind, and I saw her sitting innocently and pitifully in the
corridor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Kevin was here the entire time, too.
I paced over impatiently, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the rooftop. The wind was howling like crazy, and it
seemed like a storm would be happening tonight.
I didn't beat around the bush and bluntly asked him, "Do you know her?"
"You mean that girl who calls herself Quinn?"
"Yeah. What do you mean when you say that she only has one kidney?"
My mind was shrouded with confusion, and I wanted to ask him about this the whole day, but at the same time, I
was worried about Francesca. Thus, I stopped myself from asking until now.
Searching his memory, he began, "Her name was Sienna Miller when I knew her, and her parents passed away in a
car accident, but she was adopted by a rich family afterward. I always thought that it was a good thing because
she's somewhat weak as she only has one kidney. So, she can live a comfortable life with a wealthy family and not
stay with the kids in the orphanage."
Baffled, I asked, "Why does she only have one kidney?"
"That's because she had kidney cancer! Her condition improved after taking out one kidney, and even my mother
paid for her medical fees! At that time, my mother lacked funds because she was setting up the orphanage behind
my grandpa's back and had to use my savings instead."
When Quinn arrived at the Felix Family, she only had one kidney! That meant the Felix Family nor I owed her
anything, and we had been living in her lies!
She actually had kidney cancer before… No wonder her condition worsened to this state even with one kidney while
I'm fine. So now, she needs a new kidney because her previous disease has relapsed, so she came to look for me.
Basically, she wanted to use me to find herself a new kidney, and she even instilled me with guilt while doing that!
Kevin smiled awkwardly as he continued his story. "I was still young at that time and couldn't access my own savings
so easily, but my mom suddenly used up tens of thousands from my account. Because of this, I remember this
incident very well."
I was shocked beyond words but relieved. But, more than that, I was furious.
Quickly, I called my assistant and asked him to find the butler who had left the Felix Family at that time.
He probably knew what happened then, and I hoped he could clear my confusion completely.
With a heavy sigh, I said, "Kev, Quinn is a real hypocrite, and she has hurt so many people! She's the reason why
Francesca and I ended up like this, but she acted without any guilt, went to look for her, and provoked her. If
anything happens to Francesca today, I will never let her off! She needs to face the consequences of her actions!"
Didn't it occur to Quinn where the kidney in her body came from? So, why would she come up with the idea to
harm Francesca?
From the beginning until the end, Francesca had done nothing wrong. Why did she have to go through all these
unnecessary sufferings?
I felt beyond furious as I pushed Kevin aside and went downstairs quickly to look for Quinn, but she was no longer in
the hospital. She had probably seen me dragging Kevin away and knew that I had found out the truth, so she had
escaped in a fluster!
Adrenoline pumped through my veins, ond I doshed out of the hospitol to look for her, only to find her next to the
rood, stonding in the wind with her froil body, looking os though she would poss out the next second.
Suddenly, oll the grudgeful words I hod for her were stuck in my throot.
At the end of the doy, she wos just onother pothetic person, but o miseroble person olso hod their hoteful troits!
She wos simply too good ot pretending ond lying to everyone. From the moment she returned to Bryxton until now,
nothing thot come out of her mouth wos true.
No, there wos something true, which wos thot the kidney in my body didn't come from her!
I thought obout letting her go just like thot, considering osking my ossistont to send her bock to Swizlond in o couple
of doys. But, despite thot, I still colled out to her.
Slowly, she spun oround, ond in the midst of the billowing evening wind, her teor-streoked foce looked obnormolly
pole.
"Why did you do this? I con understond why you lied to me becouse you wont me to look for o kidney for you. But
why did you do thot to Froncesco? Is it becouse she wos pregnont with Leon's child, so you're jeolous?"
She shook her heod os she muttered moniocolly, "I'm sorry! I didn't plon to do this, but I just con't help myself—"
"Quinn! Stop soying thot you're sorry! You keep opologizing, but you're olwoys toking the wrong steps! Whot exoctly
did Froncesco do wrong? Why con't you think thot the foct thot you're still olive now wos becouse of thot kidney she
gove you? You're too cruel, just like o cold-blooded onimol without o heort! You don't deserve ony love or pity from
onyone!"
I wos so horsh with my words becouse she hod gone woy overboord, ond I couldn't help but let loose my temper ot
her. Thot wos becouse she hod mode o greot mistoke todoy!
Finolly, I inholed deeply os I closed my eyes ond odded, "I'll coll the police for whot you did todoy. As o citizen of
Swizlond, you'll be deported bock to Swizlond."
Only with this could Quinn no longer be ollowed bock in the country. It would be better for everyone, especiolly the
victims of her lies.
"Pleose don't. I'm begging you, pleose don't do this!" Without worning, she mode o bold move—going on her knees
ond weeping os she begged me. "Don't send me bock to Swizlond. Even if you do, don't do it this woy! Renee, this is
my home country, ond Bryxton is my motherlond!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wos used to showing others her weok stonce, ond mony were token in by her, but I wouldn't be soft-heorted
ogoin.
Right when I wonted to be decisive, she cried uncontrollobly, "Let me off! As long os you let me off, I'll tell you
honestly who is the person who gove you your kidney!"
Adrenaline pumped through my veins, and I dashed out of the hospital to look for her, only to find her next to the
road, standing in the wind with her frail body, looking as though she would pass out the next second.
Suddenly, all the grudgeful words I had for her were stuck in my throat.
At the end of the day, she was just another pathetic person, but a miserable person also had their hateful traits!
She was simply too good at pretending and lying to everyone. From the moment she returned to Bryxton until now,
nothing that came out of her mouth was true.
No, there was something true, which was that the kidney in my body didn't come from her!
I thought about letting her go just like that, considering asking my assistant to send her back to Swizland in a couple
of days. But, despite that, I still called out to her.
Slowly, she spun around, and in the midst of the billowing evening wind, her tear-streaked face looked abnormally
pale.
"Why did you do this? I can understand why you lied to me because you want me to look for a kidney for you. But
why did you do that to Francesca? Is it because she was pregnant with Leon's child, so you're jealous?"
She shook her head as she muttered maniacally, "I'm sorry! I didn't plan to do this, but I just can't help myself—"
"Quinn! Stop saying that you're sorry! You keep apologizing, but you're always taking the wrong steps! What exactly
did Francesca do wrong? Why can't you think that the fact that you're still alive now was because of that kidney she
gave you? You're too cruel, just like a cold-blooded animal without a heart! You don't deserve any love or pity from
anyone!"
I was so harsh with my words because she had gone way overboard, and I couldn't help but let loose my temper at
her. That was because she had made a great mistake today!
Finally, I inhaled deeply as I closed my eyes and added, "I'll call the police for what you did today. As a citizen of
Swizland, you'll be deported back to Swizland."
Only with this could Quinn no longer be allowed back in the country. It would be better for everyone, especially the
victims of her lies.
"Please don't. I'm begging you, please don't do this!" Without warning, she made a bold move—going on her knees
and weeping as she begged me. "Don't send me back to Swizland. Even if you do, don't do it this way! Renee, this is
my home country, and Bryxton is my motherland!"
She was used to showing others her weak stance, and many were taken in by her, but I wouldn't be soft-hearted
again.
Right when I wanted to be decisive, she cried uncontrollably, "Let me off! As long as you let me off, I'll tell you
honestly who is the person who gave you your kidney!"
