Finn kept his hands in the pockets of his white overall and stated, "According to the cardiologist, it's about three years."
"Three years..." Julien's fists clenched tightly.
He couldn't believe his life had suddenly become so short.
The transplanted heart of his was supposed to have the same lifespan as a normal heart.
"Yes, three years. If you want to live on, you'll have to find a new, matching heart in three years." Finn raised three fingers and said to Julien.
Zach's eyes were reddened, "How is that possible? Mr. Flint’s physical condition and his blood type are so unique. It's hard to find a suitable heart. He waited for 24 years to find the one he has now. Finding a matching heart in three years is impossible!"
"Then there is nothing I can do. If you can't find a suitable heart, Julien is going to die!" Finn shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Zach was instantly irritated by Finn's indifferent attitude, "What are you talking about? You're a doctor! How can you tell a patient to wait to die?"
"What else can I say?" Finn looked at Zach with indifferent eyes, "I'm a doctor, not an organ producer. Without a matching heart, no doctor could save him. I'm just telling the truth." "You... "Enough!" Julien rubbed his brows and hissed, "Zach, leave us alone. Finn is right. Without a matching heart, no one can save me. I'll just have to wait to die."
"I know. But I can't stand him being so indifferent." Zach's eyes glared angrily at Finn.
Finn pushed his glasses upward, "If you can't stand it and think what I said is cruel, you'd better go find a suitable heart for your boss. After all, he only has three years of his life. Every day of the next three years, he will be buying his time from death. Maybe you'll get lucky and finally find a matching heart. Then Julien can live on. That's all I can tell you. Excuse me."
Then Finn turned to leave.
Julien stopped him, "Wait a minute."
"Anything else?" Finn stopped and looked at Julien out of the corner of his eye.
Julien curled his lips, "Don't tell anyone about my heart problem, or else..."
Before Julien could finish, Finn interrupted, "Don't worry. As a doctor, it's a basic principle to keep the patient's secrets. Besides, I'm not interested in telling people about you. Sydney asked me about you yesterday, and I didn't tell her, did I, Zach?"
Zach sneered in his heart. 'You didn't tell me? You were stopped by me.'
"Sydney?" said Julien, frozen for a moment. Then he asked hurriedly, "What about Sydney now?"
"Ask him. He knows everything.” Finn hinted at Zach with a tilt of his chin, and then he walked out of the ward.
Julien and Zach were left alone in the ward. Facing Julien's questioning eyes, Zach could only reply, "Ms. Raines is fine. You've done so much for her. How could anything happen to her?"
Hearing the complaint in Zach’s tone, Julien frowned. He was a little angry, "You have a problem with Sydney?"
Zach never hid his discontent with Sydney. Now that Julien sensed it, Zach admitted it outright, "Yes, I'm not happy with Ms.
Raines. You did so much for her and got hurt so many times. Not to mention the previous accidents, this time your heart was hurted so badly that you have only three years of life. How can I be happy with her?"
Julien stared at him with cold eyes, "I forgive you because you have been working with me for so many years and were being indignant for me. I won't be so forgiving next time if you say another bad word about Sydney to my face." "Mr. Flint?" said Zach, looking at Julien with widened eyes in disbelief.
Julien's voice was cold as he said, "It has nothing to do with Sydney. I wanted to rescue her myself, and I jumped off the cliff myself. You were being unreasonable, blaming all this on Sydney. Zach, when did you lose your mind?"
Zach's mouth dropped open at Julien's words. It took him a few seconds to regain his senses, "I'm sorry, Mr. Flint."
Julien waved his hand, "Forget it. No talk about it. Don't ever mention it to Sydney or complain about Sydney again. Do you hear me?"
"Yes." Zach lowered his eyes, suppressing his indignation, and nodded his head.
Julien rubbed his swollen temples, "Where is Sydney now?"
