Chapter 250 Relief washed overthe moment I heard Duncan and Tristan's voices.
With the cops at their backs, the goons releasedwithout a second thought.
Yet, they still passed the signed agreement to Antonio.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter what, even if I agreed to give a kidney to Carson, I'd never hand over Mollie's custody to Antonio. Not a chance.
If Mollie fell into this family's clutches, she'd be doomed, even if she survived the operation.
Caroline caughttrying to snatch the agreement back and scoffed, "Grace, get a grip. Carson is your own son. He'll take care of you when you're old, whether you raise him or not!" I snapped, "You have no say over Mollie, and neither do I! Carson is. sick, but there are other options. You can't push Mollie into this..." Tristan, a respected surgeon, was incensed when he heard the Kaufman family was forcing Mollie to donate her kidney.
"This is insane!" he exclaimed. "Carson doesn't need a kidney. Why a transplant? It's nothing short of attempted murder!" Antoglared at Duncan and Tristan, who stood a head taller than him, annoyance etched on his face. "The doctors know what they're doing. Dr. Parrish, a top expert, is heading up my son's surgery. His plan is flawless. It's not up for debate." I shot a glance at Tristan, hungry for his input.
He gavea reassuring look then threw a question at Antonio, "You sure this surgery plan cfrom Tristan Parrish?" Tristan was not a household nhere. After all, he was often out of the country.
His ncarried weight, even among the police, and it made them look at us with newfound doubt.
But that was no excuse for pulling sshady medical stuff.
We were about to step into the operating room when Antobarked at someone to halt us, "Grace, this is life or death. No way I'm letting you cause a ruckus!" Caroline, her eyes welling up with tears, tried to pull at my heartstrings. "Grace, I know you're fretting over Mollie, but Carson is your boy too. You can't just stand by and do nothing, can you? We're all just trying to save a life here..." I treated Caroline as my best friend. Yet, she crossed the line by taking my husband and turning my own son against me. Despite the pain, I had somehow kept my composure. However, they were playing a cruel gwith Mollie's life, and the mere thought of it ignited a rage within me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI went to slap Caroline, but Antocaught my wrist before I could.
Ile threw a glance at Duncan and Tristan, who were standing behind me, his face darkened. "Grace, you've been out of Carson's life for ages, not even checking in. Caroline is the one who has been there for him, holding his hand when he is down. Instead of showing sgratitude, you're trying to slap her? That's way out of line!"
Duncan had been aware of my lousy ex. Witnessing Antonio's. disrespect toward me, he immediately balled up N his fist and swung it at Antonio. "You me, he lowlife, you don't even deserve to breathe the sair as my sister!"
Antoheld his stinging check, his face twisted with anger as he looked I byer as he at me. "Grace! You bring these guys here and go nuts? You've got two of them. That's really something! "I couldn't care less about your affairs, but you're not going to mess with the kids again!" Concerned for Mollie's well-being. I didn't have the patience for his nonsense.
Caroline spotted the cops giving the order to unlock the operating room. m With teary eyes she made a move to block the entrance. "Carson is in the middle of surgery. You can't just barge in!" sŵ She nailedwith a malice look. "Grace, how can you be so heartless? If something goes wrong with Carson, you'll regret it!" The cops didn't buy her and pushed the door open anyway.
There was Mollie, lying still on the operating table, with the doctor's scalpel, all sharp and shiny, already slicing into her flank.
