Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 1146:

Brady, done with the conversation, gestured toward the door. “I need to shower. Unless you have something else to say, please leave, Mom.” With that, he turned and headed toward the closet.

When being tough didn’t work, she tried a softer approach. “Donating bone marrow is risky, Brady! You just had surgery not long ago after the car accident. Your body isn’t strong enough yet.”

“How can you say that?” she pressed, panic creeping back into her voice. “No surgery is ever without risk.”
