Divorce Anxiety Chapter 404
Chapter 404 He Must Not Take The Risk Again The next day, Kathleen received the results of the bone marrow compatibility test.
Leonard's bone marrow was not a matchwith Felicia’s, which was not surprising. After all, when it came to bone marrow, even biological parents were often not a match with
their children. She then relayed the results to Kelly. "What should we do now?" Kelly felt terrible. Kathleen gazed at her coldly.
"You could consider explaining the truth to Leonard and have another child with him.
That way, you would have another chance at saving Felicia." Kelly bit her lip.
"I..." "It’s for your daughter! Is it really so hard to do that?" Kathleen furrowed her browsslightly. In fact, Kelly had spent the entire night thinking about it, too.
I’d do anything for my daughter! "All right, I’ll do it!" she declared.
Standing up, she set out to talkto Leonard. The moment she said that, however, the door of the ward was pushed open. Leonard came in, standing tall with a frosty expression
on his handsome face. 'TH make a move first." Kathleen turned around. "What’s the test result?" Leonard gazed at her. "You’re not a match," answered Kathleen.
"I’m leaving." With that, she turned to leave. Looking at Kelly impassively, Leonard asked in a heavy tone, "So, what now?"
"I’m thinking of trying the othersuggestion given by Dr.
Johnson." Kelly lowered her head. "Do you have the man’s contact?" Leonard's voice was deep and hoarse.
"What?" Kelly was stunned.
"I meant your daughter's biological father.
You should have his contact, right? Aren't you still in love with him and unwilling to leave him?" Leonard's tone turnedicy as his eyes darkened. Kelly froze for a moment,
pursing her lips.
After a brief pause, she stated, "Leonard, Felicia’s biological father is actually...
you."
Leonard froze when he heard that.
Kelly bit her lip.
"It's true.
Her blood type is Rh-negative, same as yours." Leonard merely gazed at her blankly. Tears rolled down Kelly's cheeks.
"Nothing ever went on between me and that man.
It was all just an act." Just an act? Leonard was overcome with confusion.
"Why would you do that?" Taking a deep breath, Kelly began to explain, "It's because of my family..."
With that, she told himthe truth about what really happened. Leonard said nothing for a long while. He was simply too shocked.
Kelly waited for his response anxiously.
She had no idea what was going through his mind. "And you're telling me this now only because youwant to save Felicia’s life?"
Leonard asked coldly. Kelly nodded unhesitatingly. "I understand now,” Leonard uttered through gritted teeth. With that said, he
spun around and left. Kelly could not help but feel dumbfounded.
What does he understand? After leaving Felicia’s ward, Leonard thought for a moment and went straight to see Samuel.
Kathleenhappened to be changing the dressing on Samuel’s wrist. "Haven’t you ever heard of knocking?" Samuel asked
disdainfully. "Go easy on him.
He’s probably just received the shock of his life,” Kathleen teased.
"What shock?" Samuel frowned deeply.
"Kelly's given birth to his daughter, whose name is Felicia.
Back then, Kelly didn’t leave him because she had an affair with another man but because ofreasons to do with her family,"
Kathleen explained simply. Samuel remained expressionless.
"Then why does he look so depressed?" Kathleen shot a quick glance at Leonard before explaining, "Needless to say, he must
have asked Kelly ifshe was telling him the truth now only for the sake of saving Felicia, and she must have answered yes.
That should explain his gloomy state." Samuel finally understood.
"I see.
So, you're unhappy about the fact that Kelly told you about this because of her child and not because she loves you?" Leonard
swallowed.
"Yes." "She’s already given birth to your daughter, and yet you care about such a trivial detail? If she didn't love you, then why
would shehave chosen to have your child? Wouldn’t it be easier just to get an abortion?" Samuel scoffed. "And is it based on this
line of reasoning that you believe Kathleen still has feelings for you, even though she lost her memories?” Leonard asked quietly.
Samuel ignored him. "Leonard, there is no time to waste when it comes to treating Felicia’s condition.
I might be able to delay it for a while, but her body might not beable to bear it for long," Kathleen remarked as she dressed
Samuel’s wound. Leonard nodded.
"I know that." "There’s another thing." Kathleen frowned as she continued, "You'd better not be foolish.
If you’re thinking of in vitro fertilization, you should know that the procedure would be very harsh on Kelly's body."
Leonard was shocked by her words.
"But Kathleen—" "I’m only telling you the truth, even if you don't like to hear it," Kathleen interrupted in an icytone. "That’s not
what I mean." Leonard felt rather embarrassed. "I’m a doctor, and I’m just telling you the facts." Kathleen’s expression remained
chilly.
"If there’s nothing else you want to understand, then go quickly and sort it out with Kelly.
She's distressed enough as it is because of Felicia.
Don’t make things any harder for her." "All right." With a nod, Leonard left the room.
Samuel gave Kathleen a long, meaningful look.
"You’re pretty good at giving advice, aren’t you?" "I was only laying out the facts for him so that they have less to think about.
Most importantly, I don't want to waste time.
Felicia is about Desi's age.
If what happened to her is happening to my own daughter, I would be beyond anxious.
How would I still have the time to wait for a man to dilly-dally? He reallyshouldn’t be giving Kelly anything more to worry about.” Samuel sat up straight.
"Kate, I promise I would never hold you back." "I’ll kick you if you dare do that," stated Kathleen, narrowing her eyes athim. "I’d never let you have any reason to do that.
I’m going to prove it to you." Samuel leaned closer to her.
"You'd better keep your word, then," Kathleen said with a scoff.
"Of course," Samuel confirmedwith a nod. "You should rest well and take care of your injury.
I’m carrying on with my work." Kathleen picked up her things and left the ward before Samuel could say anything else.
He gaped at herdisappearing figure speechlessly. What a cool woman! Later in the evening, Kathleen was treating a patient when her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at her
phone screen, she saw that it was Wynnie calling and picked up the call. "Hello, Mrs.
Macari."
"Bad news, Kate.
Desi just disappeared! I just saw her playing in the courtyard before I left to get a drink of water.
But when I came back, she was no longer there!" Wynnie's panicked voice rang out on the phone.
Kathleen immediately stood up, grabbing her coat and car keys.
"Got it.
I’m off to search for her now." "Where would you be searching?" Wynnie asked anxiously.
"If Desi was kidnapped, the kidnapper would surely call either me or Samuel."
With that,Kathleen hung up and went off to Samuel’s ward at once. Samuel had received Wynnie’s call as well and was getting dressed, ready to leave the room. However,
Kathleen pushed him back.
"I know you’re anxious, but you have to take your medication first, or you won't have time for that later."
She then handed him the medication.
Samuel frowned slightly,but he could not refuse to take it since it was Kathleen who was giving it to him. Thus, he quickly swallowed it and stood up to leave. However, all of a
sudden, he was hit by a rush of vertigo. Kathleen instantly wrapped her arms around him, supporting him and helping him to lie down on the bed. "Kate..." Samuel uttered
drowsily. "You shouldn’t move around too much, Samuel.
Get some rest here and wait for my news." Kathleen leaned her forehead against his.
