Chapter 264

"I'm her husband." Nicolas strode forward, his cold aura making the doctor's breath momentarily hitch. "Doctor, how is my wife?"

The doctor, accustomed to a wide range of patients, rarely encountered someone with Nicolas's formidable presence.

"Here's the notice of critical illness. Please sign it, sir." The doctor, drenched in cold sweat, braced himself. "The patient's condition is critical. Her blood cells are failing and she needs a bone marrow transplant.

"The hospital will do its best to save her, but you need to contact direct relatives as soon as possible."

'Direct relatives?' Nicolas's pupils constricted as his breath grew heavier.

"Sir, this is the only way to save her. Are the patient's parents or siblings alive?" The doctor's urgent voice echoed in his ears.

The pen in Nicolas's hand felt like a mountain. It hovered over the paper, unable to land. The Rowland family would be thrilled if Thea died. They wouldn't risk their interests to save her. Nicolas's mind churned with countless strategies. Joyce gritted her teeth. "I'll go all out. Even if I have to kidnap them, I'll bring that family here. Thea cannot die."

She took a step toward the door. In the sterile hallway of the operating room, Nicolas's voice sliced through the air like a blade. "Miss Maddox, I want Thea to live more than you do. Kidnapping won't work."

For years, Nicolas had hoped to reconcile with Thea. He finally realized that dream, yet she kept facing danger. He would not let the person behind this get away. But right now, the priority was to ensure Thea's survival.

This was the first time Nicolas's hand trembled over the paper. Facing the doctor, he spoke with a seriousness tinged with fear. "Please, whatever it takes, you must save her life. I just need Thea to live."

Joyce was in tears. As the door to the operating room closed, Nicolas instructed Darwin to search the global bone marrow registry for a match for Thea. He then called Max.

On the other end, Max was taken aback. "Mr. Hendrix, how can I assist you?"

Even though Thea and Nicolas were close, Max didn't dare act presumptuously. He remained respectful.
