A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 912

Robin's face shifted slightly, "Why can Emilia but she can't, aren't they full sisters?"

The doctor explained, "Sir, even if they are full sisters, a bone marrow transplant isn't a sure match."

Robin glanced at Wendy, noticing her big wide eyes, full of hope staring at him, a complicated feeling welled up inside him.

About a year ago, a blood sample in the blood bank showed a match to Wendy's HLM gene type. Robin found out that the blood was left by Emilia after she signed an organ donation agreement, so he started searching for Emilia everywhere.

However, Emilia had passed away. This news was tightly sealed by Ethan Ziegler, even the hospital wasn't aware. He thought all hope was lost, but then he found out she had a sister, but the doctor told him, even with full sisters, a bone marrow transplant can't guarantee a match.

Wendy saw Robin looking at her without uttering a word, her heart sank, "What did the doctor say?"

Robin held his phone, silent for a few seconds, then bluntly said, "The bone marrow can't match."

Hearing this, the hope in Wendy's eyes dimmed instantly. She snatched Robin's phone and asked the doctor, "What about the heart?"

The doctor on the other end of the phone hearing her voice respectfully answered, "The typing isn't a match at all, a heart transplant isn't possible."

The doctor's words completely shattered Wendy's hope. She sat on the hospital bed, stunned and speechless, "How can this be..."

The doctor comforted, "Madam, we'll continue to look for a suitable donor for you. You need to rest and as long as there's enough time..."

Wendy suddenly lost control of her emotions, yelling at the phone, "What do you mean as long as there's enough time? I'm running out of time, you're all talk and no action, you took my money but can't cure me, why should I keep you on, get lost, all of you get lost..."

Seeing her outburst, Robin reached out and took the phone back, "Mom, it's not their fault that there's no suitable donor."

What was supposed to calm her down ended up hitting a nerve with Wendy, "If I'm not blaming them, then I'll blame you two for not being a match. I gave birth to two children who can't help me and I have to turn to someone else's child. The one that could've matched is already dead and the one who can't match is here to piss me off."

Robin's handsome face bore a mix of emotions—disappointment, pain, and a hint of disbelief. It was as if he hadn't expected his mother to say such words. "You loved me and Katharine the most, and now you blame us for not being able to donate?"

Hearing this, Wendy quickly composed herself and reached out to grab Robin's sleeve. "That's not it, son. You and Katharine are my world. My illness affects my emotions, and I shouldn't have said those things. Please forgive me..."

This was his mother, and despite Robin's doubts about her love, he chose to forgive. "You can say those things to me, but please spare Katharine. It would break her heart..."

Before Wendy fell ill, she had loved them unconditionally, always wanting the best for them. That's why Robin and Katharine searched tirelessly for a suitable donor, hoping to extend their mother's life.

But now, in her fight for survival, it seemed that her love for them had faded. Robin wondered if it was her true nature or simply a side effect of her illness. He believed it must be the latter, for how could he face the warm memories of their past otherwise...
