Not to mention whether Shane would agree or not, even if he agreed, having an intimate relationship with him seemed a little...
Charlotte's face stiffened. Even if she wanted to save Sheryl, she would still find it hard to convince herself.
"The report came out?"
At that moment, Shane was back.
He directly took away the file in Charlotte's hands and flipped over to read the column stating the result.
Even Shane, a top student who graduated from an Ivy League school, took some time to figure out that his and Sheryl's bone marrow were compatible.
"I can undergo the transplant surgery." Shane's voice was as cold as usual.
"You're eligible for the surgery?" Charlotte instantly turned around to look at him. "You're saying that you can give your bone marrow to Sheryl because yours is compatible with hers?"
Shane nodded.
Charlotte broke down in tears of joy. She grabbed
Shane's arm tightly and said, "Please save her. I've been waiting for bone marrow all this time, but I haven't been able to find it. You're her father, so if you can, you can directly arrange the surgery."
Instead of immediately replying to Charlotte, Shane looked at Zoe, who was standing beside them.
Zoe understood and excused herself.
There were only Shane and Charlotte left in the corridor.
"I can give her my bone marrow, but you have to marry me."
Shane's voice was neither too loud nor too soft but was loud enough for Charlotte to hear.
"Marry him again?" she asked herself internally.
Charlotte looked at him, puzzled. "Aren't you going to marry Tiffany?"
"There won't be any complications."
"Do you want me to be your mistress? Even if I agree, is that legal?"
It was too late for Charlotte to be sad. She just thought that this was ridiculous. But at the same time, she was worried about Sheryl as well.
The earlier they got the surgery done, the earlier they would know the results, and the earlier they could treat Sheryl's illness.
For Sheryl, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
"That's not within your field of consideration. You just have to decide whether you want to marry me and get my bone marrow or continue to wait for other people's bone marrow."
"I'll marry you."
Charlotte said without hesitation.
However...
Her eyes were dull, like a puppet.
Or perhaps, she was just a drowning traveler. He was the wood that could keep her afloat, her only beacon in the dark. So she couldn't wait to sell her soul to him, at his disposal, as long as he could take her away from the endless sea of bitterness.
"I'll do anything as long as you give Sheryl your bone marrow."
"This is not an agreement. I'm asking you to marry me for real, rely on me, and become a part of my life."
Shane was extremely serious.
He had never been this serious before.
Even when he had to attend the most important meeting, he was always relaxed and never in a serious state.
To be precise, the last time he was serious about something was probably during his college entrance exam.
Upon hearing that, Charlotte laughed. "Whether it's an agreement or not, I don't have the right to decide. The bone marrow is in your body. Whatever you want to do, it's all up to you, as long as you're willing to undergo the transplant surgery."
"Why don't you say that it's because she's also my daughter?"
"I don't know. It's probably because I think that you don't care about your daughter at all. You can have another child in your life, but I..."
Before Charlotte could finish her words, the man pulled her into his embrace and kissed her forcefully on the lips.
He hugged her so tight that she felt pain in her bones.
He bit her lower lip, the taste of blood creeping into his mouth.
Shane slid down his hands, pressing one on her back and the other on the back of her head.
He had never been so serious and so crazy, feeling eager to allow her into his blood, to combine their bodies to become one.
Like a puppet, Charlotte did not react at all, allowing him to kiss her however he wanted to.
Moments later.
He let go of her.
"I won't have children with anyone else in my life." "Shane..." She looked at him, stunned. Then she touched her lower lip, feeling his anger lingering on her mouth.
His bite was deep and heavy.
Shane pressed his lips together, his jaw tightened.
"From now on, I will protect you and your child."
After finishing his words, he went to the sterile ward to change his clothes and prepare to enter the ward.
Charlotte lost all her strength and collapsed on the bench in the long corridor.
She looked down at her finger, which was still stained with blood.
Shane's message was clear.
But she still couldn't believe all of this.
