Looking at Edmund's back as he left, Doris was so mad that she was shivering as her tears flowed down her face.
Two years ago, Doris's father had had a severe kidney infection. It had been hard to find a suitable kidney because his blood type was RH negative. 4
At that time, Doris had done a match test, but she was not suitable.
Soon after, due to a stroke of good luck, one of her relatives had found a suitable match in Southeast Asia, and the other party had also been willing to donate.
Subsequently, Doris had spent a million Oskian dollars to help her dad solve his kidney problem. 1
Initially, she had thought that after finding the kidney, her dad would live for another twenty or thirty years with proper care.
However, she never would have thought that just after two years, her dad's replacement kidney would have a serious rejection response, and the kidney functions started to drop tremendously.
Before the Oskian New Year, he had been fine. However, after the new year, he had been admitted to the hospital due to acute kidney failure.
Doctors could not identify the reason for the kidney failure. Moreover, there was no way of reversing kidney failure. The only way was to look for a new kidney quickly and do a transplant operation. 1
Due to time constraints, Doris had raised the price to five million. Despite the higher sum, she could not find a suitable kidney because time was short.
Back then, Edmund had been Doris's overseas university classmate. No one knew where he had received the news, but Edmund was very eager to help Doris find a suitable kidney in America's black market.
The purpose of Edmund's presence today was to inform Doris that a suitable kidney had been found, and it was from a young and healthy boy.
Yet, before Doris could even be happy about this, Edmund had revealed his true colors and made a bunch of outrageous requests.
Thinking of this, Doris was very down.
She also knew that finding a suitable kidney in a short span of time was nearly impossible...
At this moment, she suddenly thought of a scene at Jasmine's birthday party.
Charlie had taken out a Rejuvenating Pill at that time, which had been bought by Travis for two billion. The pill not only cured hundreds of diseases but also brought the dead back to life. 3
The only problem was that Doris would not be able to fork out two billion...
Despite her high income, Doris was still just a seniorlevel wage earner. Thus, her total net worth added up t o only less than one hundred million, How could she ever dream of buying a Rejuvenating Pill that was worth two billion?
