The next day, Kathleen received the results of the bone marrow compatibility test.
Leonard's bone marrow was not a match with Felicia's, which was not surprising.
After all, when it came to bone marrow, even biological parents were often not a match with their children.
She then relayed the results to Kelly.
"What should we do now?" Kelly felt terrible.
Kathleen gazed at her coldly. "You could consider explaining the truth to Leonard and have another child with him. That way, you would have another chance at saving Felicia."
Kelly bit her lip. "I..."
"It's for your daughter! Is it really so hard to do that?" Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly.
In fact, Kelly had spent the entire night thinking about it, too. I'd do anything for my daughter!
"All right, I'll do it!" she declared.
Standing up, she set out to talk to Leonard.
The moment she said that, however, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Leonard came in, standing tall with a frosty expression on his handsome face.
"I'll make a move first." Kathleen turned around.
"What's the test result?" Leonard gazed at her.
"You're not a match," answered Kathleen. "I'm leaving."
With that, she turned to leave.
Looking at Kelly impassively, Leonard asked in a heavy tone, "So, what now?"
"I'm thinking of trying the other suggestion given by Dr. Johnson." Kelly lowered her head.
"Do you have the man's contact?" Leonard's voice was deep and hoarse.
"What?" Kelly was stunned.
"I meant your daughter's biological father. You should have his contact, right? Aren't you still in love with him and unwilling to leave him?” Leonard's tone turned icy as his eyes darkened.
Kelly froze for a moment, pursing her lips. After a brief pause, she stated, "Leonard, Felicia's biological father is actually... you."
Leonard froze when he heard that.
Kelly bit her lip. "It's true. Her blood type is Rh-negative, same as yours."
Leonard merely gazed at her blankly.
Tears rolled down Kelly's cheeks. "Nothing ever went on between me and that man. It was all just an act."
Just an act?
Leonard was overcome with confusion. "Why would you do that?"
Taking a deep breath, Kelly began to explain, "It's because of my family..."
With that, she told him the truth about what really happened.
Leonard said nothing for a long while.
He was simply too shocked.
Kelly waited for his response anxiously. She had no idea what was going through his mind.
"And you're telling me this now only because you want to save Felicia's life?" Leonard asked coldly.
Kelly nodded unhesitatingly.
"I understand now," Leonard uttered through gritted teeth.
With that said, he spun around and left.
Kelly could not help but feel dumbfounded. What does he understand?
After leaving Felicia's ward, Leonard thought for a moment and went straight to see Samuel.
Kathleen happened to be changing the dressing on Samuel's wrist.
"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Samuel asked disdainfully.
"Go easy on him. He's probably just received the shock of his life," Kathleen teased.
"What shock?" Samuel frowned deeply.
"Kelly's given birth to his daughter, whose name is Felicia.
Back then, Kelly didn't leave him because she had an affair with another man but because of reasons to do with her family," Kathleen explained simply.
