Chapter 221
Jim’s face broke into a smile as he reached her. “Sadie, it’s good news! We’ve found a bone marrow match for Averi!”
For a moment, Sadie was stunned, the words not quite sinking in. A match meant a chance for Averi’s recovery, an opportunity for life. “Really? Are you certain?” Sadie asked, her voice a mixture of hope and disbelief.
Jim nodded emphatically. “Absolutely sure. It’s a perfect match. We can start planning the surgery very soon.”
“Kyla, I owe you so much. Without your help, I never would have secured the position at Alice Design Studio,” Jordyn said, her voice laced with sincere appreciation and a hint of flattery.
Kyla, feeling somewhat impatient, was poised to dismiss her with brief acknowledgments before ending the call.
As Jordyn shared news of her new role, she only offered a nonchalant “Mm” in response.
“Today is my first day, Kyla. There was someone in the department who took leave to donate bone marrow…” Jordyn sounded unsure, as if she was pondering whether to say more.
“Bone marrow donation? It’s really no big deal,” Kyla commented dismissively.
“But… Kyla, I happened to see the name of the person receiving the donation…” Jordyn lowered her voice, adding a layer of intrigue.
“And that name was?” Kyla felt a jolt of apprehension.
“It’s… Averi Hudson.”
“Averi?” Kyla sat bolt upright.
What were the odds? The world seemed too small at that moment.
Kyla pondered how Sadie seemed to be continually favored by fortune. As Kyla struggled to maintain her composure, her voice softened. “Jordyn, are you certain? Was it Sadie’s son, Averi?”

“Absolutely, Kyla. I saw it myself! The file for the donor clearly listed Averi Hudson as the recipient, diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia…”
Kyla nervously bit her bottom lip.
She recognized a rare chance she had to seize.
If the boy were to pass away, even if Noah later discovered the truth about the child’s parentage, it would be irrelevant.
Her position would remain secure.
“Well done, Jordyn. Set up a meeting with your colleague for me.”
“Right away, Kyla!” Jordyn responded, her voice filled with passion.
With a satisfied grin, Kyla hung up.noveldrama
At the hospital, the potent scent of disinfectant pervaded the halls.
Sadie’s grip on Averi’s small hand was firm, her fingers chillingly cold.
Wearing an oversized hospital gown, Averi looked wan but offered Sadie a reassuring smile, his dimples showing.
“Mom, I’m not scared!”
Sadie leaned in and kissed his forehead tenderly, whispering, “I know. You’re the bravest, my Averi.”
Since a donor match had been found, a persistent unease gnawed at Sadie, a premonition that trouble was brewing.
The medical team from Maradeiris had arrived, and Jim had gone over the surgical details more than once. Everything appeared to be on track. As a nurse took Averi’s blood samples, Sadie stayed close, her watchful eyes fixed on him, not looking away even for a moment.
