"Check up?"
Only then did Xenia notice Andie, the doctor who had just entered. She had been too excited to even notice him just now.
"That's right."
Andie nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go out first."
Xenia knew that she shouldn't cause more trouble here, so she left without any hesitation.
After Xenia left, Harvey's expression became gloomy. "How's my injury? What's the problem?"
Harvey had been awake when he was crushed between two cars, but he became unconscious after being injected with anesthesia.
However, after he woke up, he could feel that his condition was deteriorating.
"Since the liver is damaged, let's see if it can recover itself. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we will have to find a donor for you. We applied but you know, this can be very difficult..."
Andie looked at the examination report and explained it to him.
Since Harvey was a doctor, Andie knew that there was no point in hiding anything.
"Is that so..."
Harvey felt a little dejected.
It was already hard to do a liver transplant, and even if there was a suitable liver, many were reluctant to donate.
"Yes, do you need me to tell your family in advance?"
What Andie meant was that the success rate of having a compatible match within family members was very high. If Harvey couldn't find a suitable liver when he was desperate, he might have to just ask his family members if they were willing to give him a part of their liver lobes.
Otherwise, the loss of an organ's function would affect the other organs.
"There's no need."
"But if your liver function doesn't show any recovery after tomorrow, an operation will be required."
Andie understood Harvey's concerns. He didn't want his family to worry about him. However, as of now, his life was more important.
"Then please tell my family first, but..." Harvey saw Xenia standing outside the glass wall and continued, "Don't tell Xenia. She mustn't know."
With Harvey's understanding of Xenia, if she knew that something had happened to him, she would definitely not sit still.
"I understand."
Andie nodded.
He went out after giving Harvey a check-up.
Xenia didn't know about anything at all.
She accompanied Harvey for the whole morning and left in the afternoon when Harvey wanted to take a rest.
When Xenia left the ward, she wanted to go to Andie to ask about Harvey's situation, but she overheard him making a phone call.
"Yes, I'll keep him under observation for another day. If it doesn't work, the liver lobes must be replaced. Please have a discussion. It'll be best to find a match."
Standing outside the office and listening to Andie's words, Xenia's mind was a little confused.
She knew that Harvey's liver was damaged, and he was relying on the blood transfusion to survive...
"Andie?"
Xenia stood outside for a while and didn't enter until Andie hung up the phone.
When Andie turned around and saw Xenia standing outside, he dropped his phone in shock.
He then quickly bent down to pick it up. While he was picking it up, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"You just talked about a match and that the liver should be replaced. Who were you talking about? Harvey?"
Xenia asked.
She could see that Andie had been surprised to see her just now. It was obvious that Andie was hiding something from her!
"No, it's about another patient."
