Chapter 4 One Life for Another

A drop of tears fell from Helen’s eyes. She couldn’t help but choke, ‘Nina, don’t talk nonsense. I’m very

healthy. If you lie to Ashton,

how sad will he be?”

Ashton’s face froze. He could not believe what he had heard.

Liver cancer?

Helen was only in her twenties. Although her body had always been weak, how could she have cancer

at such a young age?

With a sad face, Nina took over the diagnosis paper and handed it to Ashton, saying, “Ms. Bauer was

afraid that you would be sad, so she told me not to say anything. With liver cancer at this stage, she

would only die if she didn’t have her liver transplanted.

“She had even prepared her final words, and she asked me to hide the diagnosis paper. But sir, I have

watched Ms. Bauer grow up since she was a child. I can’t watch her die!”

Ashton suddenly pulled the diagnosis paper over and saw that the diagnosis result of Helen’s illness

was clearly written on it. It was terminal liver cancer.

Ashton could not imagine how long Helen had kept him in the dark and how much pain she had

suffered from the terminal illness alone.

However, Ashton could not care about these things. Now, he only had one thought, and that was to

save Helen as soon as possible.

When Ashton was young, he had never felt the warmth of his family. It was Helen who had given him

the most company, and she had even risked her life to save him. He would never allow Helen to die!

Ashton clenched the diagnosis paper in his hand, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hand

because of sorrow. He said in a low voice, “If she can live after liver transplantation, let’s do it.

“I will immediately contact the medical institutions at home and abroad. I will definitely find a suitable

donor for you. Helen, don’t worry. You won’t die.”

Helen said with a trembling voice, “Ashton, you don’t have to do this for me. I know my own body veryThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

well. I won’t be able to wait until the day I find a suitable donor. In the last period of my life, I will be

satisfied to have you accompany me.”

At the side, Nina said, as if she had hesitated and finally made up her mind, “Sir, in fact, the hospital

has found a suitable donor for Ms. Bauer.

“Your wife is Ms. Bauer’s half-sister. The probability of matching the liver between the family is a lot

higher. The hospital has checked. Mrs. Mullen can donate the liver to Ms. Bauer…

Before Nina finished her words, Helen interrupted her in a hurry, “Nina, don’t say anymore. I can’t let

Debby make such a big sacrifice for me! I would rather wait for death than ask Debby to save me!”

Ashton was silent for a moment. He had never heard that a living person could donate her liver.

Although he believed that he was willing to exchange Deborah’s life for Helen’s, a life for another was

too much of a violation of ethics, and the hospital would not do it.

Ashton was a little hesitant and looked at the doctor next to him.

The doctor immediately stepped forward and said, ‘Mr. Mullen, there is indeed a precedent of living

people donating liver at home and abroad. However, it is not donating the entire liver, but only part of it.

*Liver can regenerate. If we cut off part of one’s liver and transplant it to others, generally, after a year

and a half, the donor’s liver can grow and restore its original shape.

“However, it is only under normal circumstances. At the same time, the doctors have to carefully

examine the donor and control the amount of the liver to be transplanted. Only then can the doctors

basically guarantee that there will be no accidents.”

Hearing this, Ashton felt relieved. According to the doctor, not only would Deborah not die if she

donated her liver, but she would for Another

recover after a year and a half. And Helen’s life could be saved.

Moreover, there was a precedent of living people donating their livers, so this operation had to be done.

Ashton could not wait for a moment. He ignored Helen’s crying dissuasion and asked the serv ant

beside him, “Go and check. Where

is Deborah?”

The serv ant replied, “Sir, Ms. Shepherd is outside the manor right now. She wants to see her

daughter.”

Ashton finally remembered that he had brought Alyssa over.

Ashton was worried that Deborah would not agree just now. Now, it seemed that there was a ready-

made chip.

Ashton looked around the living room and finally saw Alyssa curled up on the sofa. Alyssa had a high

fever. She started to talk

nonsense.

Ashton took a few steps forward, picked Alyssa up without any pity, and went out the door.

The wind whistled outside, and Deborah stood outside the iron gate, anxiously looking inside.

She finally saw Ashton bring Alyssa out, and her eyes lit up.

The serv ant opened the iron gate, and Deborah immediately rushed over.

Ashton raised Alyssa up a little, not letting Deborah reach her.

His voice was indifferent. “Deborah, do you want to save your daughter?”
