Chapter 381
Scarlett took a few steps back and stared at Tamara with teary eyes.
“What if she makes unreasonable demands, Mom? Are you going to just agree to them?” she sobbed.
“No price is too high as long as it'll save your brother, and your marriage is no exception,” Tamara muttered through clenched teeth.
Scarlett slumped weakly against the chair as the bad feeling in her gut intensified.
Mom cares more about Raiden because he's the only son in the family. I will never be treated equally simply because I'm a daughter.
Veronique was at the medical base when she got the call from the military general hospital.
Instead of responding immediately after obtaining all the information regarding the situation, she ended the call and contacted Bailey.
“Hey, Bay! Did you know that Raiden got shot?”
Bailey was unaware of it, so she was utterly shocked when she heard that.
What? Raiden was shot? That doesn't make any sense! Who would dare assassinate him here in Chanaea? Even if someone was crazy enough to attempt it, who could possibly break through his lines of defense?
“Tell me what happened in detail.”
“The director of the general hospital told me that Raiden was attacked and shot. The bullet is currently stuck in his chest near his heart. The surgery would be extremely risky, with only a twenty-percent chance of success. He wants me to go help perform the surgery,” Veronique replied.
Bailey tightened her grip on the phone as she slowly understood what was going on.
Wait a minute. Is this that man's way of forcing the Fletcher family to agree to the bone marrow donation? Isn't this a little too much? How will I ever return the favor? It's true that I was the one who asked Raiden for help, but he didn't have to go this far! What he did was extremely dangerous! He could very well end up dead if things don't go according to plan! Oh, well... What's done is done, so there's no point in worrying about that now. Raiden risked his life to provide us with this opportunity, so we can't let it go to waste!
“Listen to me, Vero. You must be the one to perform the surgery for Raiden. However, you need to force the Fletchers to sign the bone marrow donation agreement before you operate on him.”
Veronique was shocked when she heard that. “Bay, are you sure it's appropriate to take advantage of them like that?”
Bailey let out a wry chuckle. “Do you really think Raiden was attacked?”
Scarlett took a few steps back and stared at Tamara with teary eyes.
It wasn't long before Veronique caught on and realized what she meant. “W-What? Are you saying he—”
