Gillian hesitated to speak as she did not know what she should say. Hannah was a grown woman now, so she should make these sorts of decisions herself.
On the other hand, Fabian stood quietly by Hannah's side, waiting patiently for her to make a decision. No matter what it was, he was set on supporting her and protecting her.
In the end, Hannah made up her mind. She could not let her brother die, so she wanted to recognize them as her family and save him.
"Alright. I'll do it. But I'm only doing this for my brother. Nothing else," Hannah spoke with some lingering reluctance.
"Hannah, I knew you weren't that merciless." Leo was ecstatic to hear Hannah's response. "Your brother is at the Southside Hospital. You two are brother and sister, so your bone marrow will definitely be compatible. Let's go right now."
"I'm fine with her donating her bone marrow, but we need to change hospitals!" Fabian finally said something after a while with a serious expression.
"Why? What if his condition worsened? Can you take responsibility if that happened?" Leo was irritated, thinking that Fabian was there to cause trouble. Why would he make this odd request if otherwise? Hannah's already agreed.
"It would only take one day. There's no way leukemia would worsen in such a short time. We have some medical knowledge, you know. Please don't spout nonsense." Fabian was never kind to people like this. If it were not for Hannah, Leo would be gone by now.
"Who do you think you are to butt into other people's business?" Leo's temper shot up. He was used to being high and mighty all the time, so being mocked by a youngster was too much for him. I know you're Hannah's boyfriend, but don't assume you have a say in what's going on. Hannah's already agreed. Why would I care about you?
"Oh, sorry. I have forgotten to introduce myself. Fabian, Fabian Norton!" Fabian looked at Leo as he announced his identity.
