Chapter 341



My heart skipped a beat, thinking about the tests Susie underwent today. "Is it bad news about the test results?" Fanny, hands stuffed in her coat pockets, shook her head lightly. "No, there's been a hitch with the donor."

I frowned in confusion. "Huh?"

"The donor was declared brain dead, in a vegetative state. The family was ready to let go, agreeing to donate all the organs, but then, at the last minute, they changed their minds," I caught Fanny's drift.

This donor was a perfect match for Susie. If the donation fell through, Susie would have to wait even longer.

And how long that wait could be was anybody's guess.

"Do you know why they backed out?" I asked.

Fanny pursed her lips. "No idea. Just got the notification. You know donor information is confidential."

Thinking of Susie's hope for a new lease on life made me wish she didn't have to face the disappointment of not going through surgery just yet.
