Chapter 922 Seeing Their Affection
With the doctor's puzzled voice, the air suddenly became still.
The couple turned their heads simultaneously, eyes filled with confusion.
Why did the doctor's tone sound like he was unaware of this matter?
Sarah glanced at Saul on the ground, her expression complex, and said, "Doctor, you might not know, he... he just had a kidney transplant surgery."
Almost all the medical staff in the hospital knew about their situation, so she couldn't say it too clearly.
Antonio didn't notice anything wrong with her description and said coldly, "That's exactly why I took extra care of him, but I didn't expect him to have such thoughts!"
The doctor was even more puzzled upon hearing this and said with a conflicted expression, "Who told you he had a kidney transplant surgery? When Saul was admitted to the hospital, I was the one who took the emergency call. He had a tumor on his kidney, so he had a nephrectomy."
These words were like a thunderclap in Antonio and Sarah's hearts. Especially Antonio.
He couldn't believe he had been fooled by Saul for so long!
Antonio closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he couldn't hold back his anger and was about to hit Saul again!
'Saul, that damned person! He deserves to die!' Antonio was extremely angry.
Sarah quickly grabbed him and stopped him, saying, "This is fraud, the police are on their way, and they will make him pay for what he did. You're still injured, and if you hurt yourself, I'll be heartbroken. Please, listen to me, okay?"
She was genuinely worried about Antonio's wound. The previous hits seemed very forceful, and she didn't know how it was now.
Antonio's actions stopped abruptly, and he finally restrained himself.
Soon, the police arrived and took Saul away. The doctor and nurse, as the first witnesses, also went to give their statements.
Everyone left, and the ward suddenly became quiet.
Sarah let out a heavy sigh and turned to look at Antonio beside her.
Since earlier, his furrowed brows hadn't relaxed. She could clearly feel his suppressed anger and indescribable conflicted feelings.
Antonio really cared about who the kidney donor was.
Thinking about it, if it were her, discovering that the lifesaving benefactor she had given so much genuine care to was a fraud, she would also be very upset.
"Antonio," she held his hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I already met the kidney donor before and sincerely thanked her. She left Northwest Ridge after recovering."
"I didn't tell you before because I saw how good you were to Saul, and I also thought he had indeed donated a kidney to someone. So, I thought it was a good deed and didn't mind. I didn't expect him to be such a person!" Sarah was worried that Antonio would blame himself, so she made up a reason to make him think she had already thanked the donor. "Don't worry, the kind person has already accepted my gratitude. She was very happy to save your life. You don't need to feel uneasy or guilty, okay?"
Antonio was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a thing. So, that day when Sarah heard him say Saul was the donor, her reaction was a bit strange.
But Antonio never doubted Sarah's words. He pulled her into his arms and said emotionally, "Since you've already thanked her, let's leave it at that. You always handle things well. I was just too angry with Saul."
Sarah patted Antonio's back to comfort him, "You did what you had to do. He will be punished. Don't take it to heart."
Antonio was amused by her demeanor. He raised his hand and gently tapped her nose, "Alright, in your eyes, am I that fragile? I'm fine now. What about you? Were you scared?"
"A little bit. But he didn't seem normal just now, like he was drugged." Sarah snuggled into his arms, "If the doctor and nurse hadn't arrived in time, I really..."
"Sarah, it's okay now." Antonio kissed her forehead tenderly, "The police will investigate everything. It seems I need to stay by your side all the time from now on."
He sighed softly, "This hospital doesn't seem that safe now. Fortunately, my body is almost recovered. Once the follow-up results are out, we can immediately go find Eden. She will be fine, you have to believe in Eden."
At most, two or three days.
He now knew Eden's exact location. To avoid any accidents, the sooner they set off, the better.
Sarah responded softly.
The couple thought about Eden and didn't speak for a while.
After a moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Sarah withdrew from Antonio's embrace, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned to look at the door.
A nurse opened the door, "Mrs. Valencia, someone is here to see you."
Sarah was a bit surprised. Who would come to see her here?
Antonio was also puzzled. The two of them looked towards the door, only to see a man in a black trench coat walking in.
In a short time, it seemed like he had been honed. The previous naivety was gone, and the well-tailored outfit highlighted his tall and straight figure, exuding an elite aura.
Sarah stared for a while, "Bob?"
He had changed so much!
In her impression, although she knew the Morrison family had a notable background, she always subconsciously thought of Bob as the sunny and cheerful assistant.
Bob smiled warmly, "You don't recognize me?"
To Antonio, that smile was extremely irritating.
Antonio took a small step forward, blocking Sarah's view, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Morrison, how could we not recognize you? Wasn't it me who contacted the Morrison family to take you back home? So, did the Morrison family go bankrupt, or did you run away again? Why are you here in Northwest Ridge instead of taking care of family matters?"
Sarah listened to Antonio's tone, filled with undeniable jealousy, and felt like laughing.
She tugged at Antonio's fingers and said to Bob, "He talks like that, don't mind him. We're just curious, why did you suddenly come here?"
Brandon Morrison had recently passed away due to illness, and Bob had completely taken over the Morrison Group, becoming the new decision-maker. He should be very busy.
Bob looked at their clasped hands, a trace of bitterness flashing deep in his eyes. "I heard you were in trouble and came to see you."
When he was taken back, he thought Brandon was using the old trick of pretending to be sick to deceive him.
But unexpectedly, this time it was real.
Brandon was seriously ill. After Bob returned to the Morrison family, Brandon seemed to have fulfilled his wish and passed away shortly after.
Bob was completely unprepared and was greatly shocked. But there were too many people eyeing the Morrison family, so he had to pull himself together to take over the family business and deal with internal family conflicts.
The company was Brandon's lifelong effort, and he couldn't just watch it fall into someone else's hands.
Because of this, Bob quickly grew up in a short time.
Last week, he finally resolved the family issues. He had always been thinking about Sarah, and considering the time, Sarah was almost due. When he finally relaxed, he couldn't suppress his longing and worry.
He originally just wanted to secretly check if Sarah was okay, but unexpectedly, he found out that Sarah had come to Northwest Ridge, indicating something had happened. So, Bob rushed over, only to find that both of them were hospitalized.
As a result, what he saw was their loving scene.
