Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 237

Charlotte shook her head and said with a sad smile, "The only way is through bone marrow transplant. Even if the bone marrow is transplanted, it will still be life-threatening if an abnormal phenomenon occurred. The first month after the transplant surgery is a risky stage. If everything goes well, Sheryl can leave the sterile ward after three months."

Therefore, don't even mention if they couldn't find bone marrow, even if they could, it would certainly be torturing for an innocent and energetic child to stay in the sterile ward for three months.

Many children had suffered from all kinds of mental illnesses when they were in the sterile ward. Their illnesses were cured, but their souls were dead.

"Transplanting bone marrow..." Shane recited these three words. His jaw tightened and his fists clenched.

"I've tried it before, but it doesn't match, so I've been looking for Sheryl's..." Father.

Charlotte didn't say that out loud.

Shane suddenly reached out, his finger hooking the necklace around her neck.

Charlotte was startled. She subconsciously stepped back while clutching her necklace and looked at him in fear.

"The first time I saw this necklace was five years ago. At that time, someone drugged me, and I almost died in the storeroom. But out of my expectation, someone rescued me. I have been looking for her for a very long time. She said her name was Yuliana, and her birthday was exactly the number carved on this necklace."

Panicking, Charlotte stuffed the necklace back into her clothes.

Shane walked closer to her. "Charlotte, when is your birthday? Why do you have this necklace?"

"Sheryl is your child."

After saying that, she suddenly felt much more relieved.

She put her hand on his chest to prevent him from getting closer, not wanting to look at him. Her voice was soft, as if she was talking to herself...

"But I don't know what happened five years ago either. I didn't know that you're Sheryl's father until Anne told me. That day, you said you wanted to divorce me, so I didn't have the chance to tell you. I was afraid that you would think that I made up a lie to force you to continue our marriage." "I've never dared to tell you, and very few people know about this..."

"I know."

Charlotte's voice stopped abruptly. She looked up at him in disbelief.

Shane's gaze was intense, and the corners of his lips curled up coldly. "If it weren't for this matter, you never planned to confess to me?"

"How did you know? No, when did you know?" She blinked, her eyes welling up.

Was he joking with her?

"When you threw away the document, Cole happened to be following you. But by the time I found out the truth, you had already left with Rick. When you came back, both of you looked so close with each other, so of course I wouldn't admit that Sheryl's my child."

"Just like that?" She didn't trust him completely.

"On the day of your engagement with Rick, I intended to announce the news to the public, but Rick agreed to use all his shares to resolve this thing that I have always wanted to do. Therefore, I agreed to keep it a secret."

Charlotte felt nothing but dizziness.

At that moment, the door of the operating room was opened.

"Who's Sheryl's family?"

"It's me." Shane directly walked past Charlotte and said, "I'm the child's father."

"Well, she is now temporarily out of danger. She's diagnosed with leukemia, so she'll need to undergo surgery as soon as possible. You can decide whether to let her stay at the hospital or..."

"She'll stay at the hospital first. Could you arrange a bone marrow test for me please?"

The doctor had been looking down at his documents all the time. But when he heard this sentence, he raised his head and looked at him with a serious look on his face. "Child's father, even if your bone marrow can be transplanted to her, the operation may not succeed. Even if it did, the patient might not be able to survive. I still hope that you're mentally prepared. Don't be overly optimistic."

Shane nodded.

These words sounded somewhat unpleasant, but that was the truth.

Instead of pretending to say something nice, it was better to be blunt with them. They would just lose a life at worst.

Charlotte was not as calm and collected as Shane. When she heard the doctor said Sheryl might not survive, she cried her heart out once again.

Shane had to walk to her side and hold her in his arms.

"I can see that the two of you have a great relationship. Don't worry, we'll do our best. With two parents who love her so much, I don't think she'll give up easily."

"Thank you, doctor." Charlotte's eyes were red, and her voice was completely hoarse.

The doctor waved his hand.

Because of Shane's request, the hospital directly transferred Sheryl to the sterile ward.

"My fault?" Rick found it terribly ridiculous.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were in such great pain when you broke up with her, I wouldn't have thought of how to make her take care of you. And how could I've been hit by her and Shane? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have wanted to kidnap Charlotte..." Kendall choked on her sobs as he spoke.

She looked pathetic as she shed tears, like a stray animal that could only drink water and eat garbage on the street.

Of course, Rick's heart softened. But when he thought that Sheryl was still in the hospital, his guilt and self-reproach couldn't let him sympathize with Kendall.

"Leave River City."

"Rick!" Kendall lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes were already red from crying too much. Her hands were tightly holding onto his sleeves. "If you want me to leave, I will just die here, die here! Right here!"

Her hands trembled as she pointed to the wall.

Rick shook her off and said, "Up to you."

Kendall immediately stood up and charged towards the wall. Clenching her teeth, she allowed her head to smash into the wall.

It would just end in a blood bath, wouldn't it?

No matter what, Shane and Charlotte wouldn't just let her off the hook like this. The evidence handed to the court was enough to put her and the Stevens Family in hot water. It would be better to just die here.

The second when Kendall was about to hit the wall, Rick's pupils suddenly shrank, and he reached out to stop her. But even so, her head still hit his arm.

Kendall bounced back and fell to the ground. She lay on the cold ceramic floor and whimpered softly, her body slightly curling into a ball.

"I did all of this because of you. I don't want to become a criminal either, but you're in so much pain, so I want Charlotte to know that she's wrong.

I want her to make up with you..."

Rick let out a sigh.

He looked out of the window. A figure caught his attention.

"I have nothing to say to you. Let's wait for the announcement from the court of justice." Rick turned around and left.

It was time to put an end to it.
