He had suddenly paid a visit to Saoirse because he knew that Matthew was under too much pressure and wanted to help him. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way after the visit?
Matthew said in a low voice, "Dad, it is impossible to contract this disease within just a day or two. I'm afraid that Saoirse has already shown symptoms long ago, but she didn't realize it. You don't have to feel guilty."
Ludwik sighed and did not speak.
Selina kept biting her lip tightly.
In a blink of an eye, the sky had turned dark.
Matthew wanted to bring Selina to dinner.
However, she wasn't in the mood to eat.
She stood there motionless like a statue.
Matthew then rested his big palm on Selina's abdomen. "If my little girl continues to starve, she's going to be as thin as a skeleton. At that time, your family will definitely blame me. So for them not to blame me, would you eat dinner with me?"
Selina pushed Matthew's hand away. "I'm not in the mood to eat." "It's because you're not in the mood that you should eat. Selina, if you faint from hunger, the situation will be even more chaotic."
Selina glared at Matthew. "Are you trying to say that I'm causing more trouble for you?"
"That's not what I meant."
"That's what you mean."
"Selina." Matthew sighed and said in a low tone, "Don't argue with me right now, okay?"
Selina was startled.
Her heart tightened.
Matthew was going to donate his bone marrow, and she was not comfortable just thinking about it.
However, at the same time, Matthew wouldn't be happy with it too.
At this time, she shouldn't have argued with Matthew.
"Let's go eat then," Selina said in a low voice.
The two of them then headed to the hospital cafeteria. At this moment, neither of them was in the mood to have a big meal. Hence, they ordered the most ordinary meal in the hospital.
Midway through the meal, Selina gently put down the utensils in her hands and said, "Matthew, I think you can listen to your father's opinions. There will definitely be another compatible bone marrow. Besides, her family could undergo the test to see if their bone marrows are compatible. You don't have to take this risk."
"I must take this risk." Matthew's voice was low, and no emotion could be felt. "Selina, she has been ill for a long time, but it was only discovered when her life is in danger. Do you understand why?"
Selina was startled.
There was a hint of bitterness in Matthew's voice. "She had too many things to deal with to the point where she wasn't able to take care of her body at all. Selina, it's because of me that she turned out to be like this now."
Selina felt like her throat was blocked, and she couldn't say a word.
A while later, Natalie had called.
Selina told Natalie about what had happened.
Natalie was shocked.
"How could such a thing happen? Matthew wants to donate his bone marrow? This will have a big impact on his body," Natalie said.
"I know." Selina smiled bitterly. "But we are unable to find any other compatible bone marrow at the moment. He doesn't want to wait, so the only option left is for him to donate his bone marrow. I've tried to persuade him but it's useless."
"Wait a minute. I'll get Tobias to persuade Matthew."
Ten minutes later, Matthew's cell phone rang.
Selina knew that it must be the call from Tobias.
She prayed in her heart that her brother could persuade Matthew.
