Chapter 454 Monitoring Scarlet

James looked over at Zacharias, who lay weakly on the hospital bed, his face drained of color and tension etched into his features. “Come on, take a seat,” Zacharias said, managing a weak. smile.

He extended his frail arm from under the blanket and lightly tapped the edge of the bed twice.

Even though there were chairs scattered around the room, Zacharias had a gut feeling that whatever James was about to say might not be easy to hear. So, he decided to show a bit of vulnerability beforehand.

James let out a heavy sigh as he took in the latter’s pallid complexion and the strained smile plastered across his face. Some of his frustration melted away, and he settled himself onto the edge of the bed.

“We’re still on the hunt for a kidney for Fanny,” James said slowly, his gaze locked onto Zacharias‘ face.

He had a hunch about what Zacharias might be thinking and saw this as a chance to probe a bit further.

Zacharias cast his eyes downward. “Thanks. Any updates on the kidney source?”

In truth, he was not optimistic about James‘ and Joseph’s efforts to secure a kidney donor. It seemed akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Nevertheless, they were running out of options.

As Zacharias sighed softly, James remained silent, allowing the room to hang in a heavy stillness. After a while, the former looked up and asked, “What should we do about Angela’s not answering your calls?”

He instinctively changed the subject, not wanting James to dwell on the issue of where Fanny’s kidney would come from. He was determined to do everything he could for her illness.

Upon hearing Angela’s name. James shook his head. “There’s nothing we can do. She’s probably in training now. I’ll try again at noon.”

Zacharias acknowledged and then said. “James, I think I can leave the hospital. Can you talk to Mom about it?

He wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and then avoid Scarlet and take Fanny to another hospital for kidney transplant surgery.

He had mentioned the idea of being discharged to Scarlet,but she flatly refused. Knowing her stance wouldn’t change, especially with his recent health issues, he decided not to push the matter further. Despite his ongoing struggles with his health, he made a concerted effort over
