Chapter 208 The Top Trending Topic
Benefactor? Looking back, it seemed a bit sneaky. Raymond said, "Let's not dwell on things or people that ruin our mood on such a great day."
Feeling uneasy, Paige immediately guessed he might have seen Margaret and Xena.
The car headed straight to the hospital. At the hospital, Amelia was taking care of Luna in the VIP ward. But as soon as Paige and Raymond showed up together, Amelia's curiosity was piqued. "I'm so touched seeing you two together."
Paige was surprised. "Didn't you get enough of that yesterday?"
Amelia replied, "Today is even more surprising than yesterday." Then Amelia quickly added, "You guys haven't seen the news yet, have you?"
Paige asked, "What news?" She thought, 'Could it be that the video taken at the entrance of the Universe Group is already online?'
Amelia glanced at her phone and said, "Oh my God, it's trending now."
Paige said, "I'm just worried that public opinion might go south."
Raymond agreed, "That's a valid concern, but don't worry, I'll handle it. It's smart to be prepared."
Paige asked, "How are you going to handle it?"
Raymond didn't give a straight answer. "You'll know once it's done. Let's check on Mom first."
On the hospital bed, Luna was still asleep. Raymond walked over, gently tucked Luna's blanket, and sat down next to Paige. "She hasn't seen me for days; she might blame me for not taking good care of you."
Paige whispered, "The Sackler family caused this. I'll make sure they get what they deserve."
Raymond gently embraced Paige, and they continued talking by Luna's bed. It didn't take long for Luna to wake up.
Paige and Raymond helped her adjust the bed's height and gave her some water. Then Paige explained to her, "There were some things to deal with yesterday. Were you scared in the hospital?"
Although Luna's speech hadn't fully recovered, she was in good spirits when she woke up, but she couldn't sustain it for long. Her body needed painkillers for the pain, which easily made her fall asleep.
While she was still in good spirits, Luna could respond to Paige. She shook her head. She recognized the people taking care of her and naturally wasn't too scared. With limited waking hours, she didn't worry much about not seeing Paige around.
Luna gazed at Raymond. She had already noticed that Raymond was no longer in a wheelchair. Instead, he stood tall and handsome. Seeing this, Luna felt particularly comforted, and her mood improved significantly.Although she couldn't say much, she worried about Paige's marriage to a disabled person, thinking it might burden Paige. But now, Luna was naturally happy for Paige.
Paige noticed Luna looking at Raymond and explained to her, "His legs are fine now." Luna nodded with effort.
"Mom, I was in a wheelchair before for reasons beyond my control. My legs have always been fine. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth from the beginning." Luna smiled faintly at Raymond's apology. Just like Paige said, she always faced everything with kindness.
Raymond and Paige stayed with Luna for a bit. After Luna took her meds, she soon fell asleep. Raymond felt a bit heartbroken, knowing Paige must be feeling pretty bad inside. "Is there anything I can do for her?"
Paige shook her head. "With the best medical team around her, I've done everything I could. Now, we just have to wait."
Finding a compatible kidney donor wasn't easy. Especially when none of the family members were a match, it got even tougher.
Raymond suggested, "How about I get tested for compatibility too? Maybe there's a one in a million chance."
Paige looked at Raymond, surprised he would offer to get tested for compatibility with Luna. Paige shook her head. "That won't be possible."
Raymond comforted her. "It's good to have a little more hope."
Paige couldn't refuse Raymond's suggestion. There was a little more hope. She was very grateful. Maybe if it were someone else, they would refuse even if she asked. Not to mention others, even Xena, who was Luna's biological daughter, was very resistant and even refused.
Raymond got tested for compatibility at the hospital and then started preparing for the future. After all, Paige's concerns were not unfounded; it was always good to be prepared early.
Most of Paige's work was brought to the small meeting room outside the ward by Pearl. When Luna rested, Paige worked there.
Pearl kept an eye on the trending topics online, which were rising rapidly. More and more people were curious about Raymond and Paige's identities and stories.
From time to time, Pearl would read some interesting comments to Paige.
Netizen: [I want to see them get married on the spot.]
Paige laughed when she heard this. "It seems everyone thinks we are quite a match."
Pearl also laughed. "A handsome man and a beautiful woman, naturally a perfect match."
"Have the company prepare a press release. Once Hawke Corporation makes the announcement, we can release Universe Group's statement," said Paige.
Pearl said, "I didn't expect that attending a meeting at the company today would bring such an opportunity. Initially, no one had a specific plan, but it suddenly got on the agenda. Given the rising trend of this topic, it looks like Raymond's side will make an official announcement soon. On our side, I heard Amelia say that she had already told Kimberly to prepare when I came in. Once he finishes writing, he'll send it to me for your review."
Paige nodded. "Okay."
Paige and the others were in a good mood. Online public opinion was becoming more positive. After all, such a handsome man and beautiful woman were rare even in the entertainment industry.
By evening, they quickly reached the top of the trending topics. At the same time, the Sackler family also finally saw the news.
