"Really?" Doctor Leon asked in excitement.
Although Amos didn't say anything, it could be seen that he was actually very excited to hear the good news.
"It's true!" Doctor Chilton said, "I've checked Miss George's medical reports. The poison mainly affects the patient's kidneys. So far, Miss George's kidneys have been affected the most in her body. The other organs have only sustained minor damages. If we could find a donor kidney for Miss George and successfully transplant the healthy kidney into her, we could remove the remaining poison from her body. Then... she may have a great chance of recovery."
A kidney transplant?
Amos nodded immediately and said, "I'll send people to look for a suitable kidney donor immediately."
"But...the problem is we might not have much time left..." Doctor Chilton said apologetically. "For Miss George's current situation, the sooner the better."
Helen asked quickly, "How much time do we have left?"
"Three days!" Doctor Chilton said, "And, Mr. Granger, as I had said earlier, I had discovered this plan only recently. If we do this, we're basically gambling with her life. We could still reconsider..."
"There's no time!" Amos exclaimed.
Doctor Chilton had already said that there were only three days left. If they were to continue dilly-dallying, then Eudora would...
He couldn't let that happen!
"Use mine!" Amos quickly suggested. "My kidney should be a suitable match for Eudora!"
After Eudora's accident back then, he did a checkup and found that their health profiles were very similar. At that time, he felt that it must have been a gift from God.
Now, it seemed like it really was the case. Perhaps the heavens did want Eudora to be saved!
Doctor Chilton frowned and said, "But Mr. Granger, you're still injured. If you donate your kidney now, your life might be at stake. It's not certain whether you would be able to stay alive..."
"I don't care! As long as I could save Eudora, I'm willing to do anything!"
Doctor Leon interrupted their conversation hurriedly and said, "Doctor Chilton, Amos, don't fret! Didn't Doctor Chilton say that there are still three days left? Why don't we look for other kidney donors first?"
Doctor Chilton nodded and said, "Yes, Doctor Leon is right. We still have time, Mr. Granger."
Amos had no choice but to acquiesce for the time being. "Yes, but I have to do the compatibility test immediately."
He must be well-prepared for everything. He could not let Eudora's life be at stake.
"Okay, I'll arrange for it. Let's go to the hospital now."
Amos nodded and glanced at Eudora, who was still asleep, before following Doctor Chilton to the hospital. He was determined to save her no matter what.
He called Clint on his way to the hospital.
"Find a way to contact all the medical storehouses in the world. As long as there is a kidney that matches Eudora's, no matter what cost it takes, we must get it. Do you understand?"
Clint knew that Eudora was poisoned, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Stunned for a moment, he asked, "Will Mrs. Granger be in danger?"
"No!" Amos blurted out. "She'll be fine."
He didn't know whether he was comforting Clint or himself.
They still had to wait for the result after getting to the hospital. Doctor Leon looked at Amos' slightly pale face worriedly.
"Mr. Granger, you look a little pale. Why don't you take a rest in my office?"
"No!" Amos refused instantly. "Doctor Chilton had already administered the injection to Eudora, right? She should wake up soon! I have to be there when she wakes up."
Doctor Leon frowned, and Helen, who was next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.
