Chapter 176

Jarrod looked up, his eyes cold and unreadable.

In that instant, a sharp realization flashed through Elodie's mind.

Selma was here at the hospital too-right in the organ transplant registration area.

Sylvie shot Elodie a quick glance before heading to the registration desk. Elodie could clearly hear the staff explaining the queue and estimated wait times.

It was true-her uncle's spot had been taken!

Selma had stolen his place in line!

Elodie's chest tightened with anger.

Without hesitation, she spun on her heel and strode toward them.

"Procedures?" Elodie shot her a frosty look, no longer hiding her fury. "Your mother's only been admitted a few days, and now she's ahead of my uncle on the list? If it weren't for Jarrod, would you even dare speak to me like this?"
