Chapter 1472
After a few days of mental tug-of-war, Rosalie still refused to accept Theodore's liver. It was clear to see that her condition was deteriorating fast.
"Rose, I'm begging you! Go for the surgery," Theodore pleaded, unable to wait any longer.
If there really came a day where he hated her, the reason would be her stubbornness. She wanted to keep his liver at the expense of her life.
Both children were sprawled on the bedside, sobbing hard.
Rosalie's haggard face looked lifeless. She held Theodore's hand and said, "Theo, promise me one thing. After I die, please take care of Chelsea. I hope you can take good care of her. I'm leaving both children in your hands."
"I won't say yes," Theodore said agitatedly. "I won't take care of your daughter. If you die, I won't care about your daughter."
"Theo, don't be like this!" Rosalie knew that he was saying that to make her agree to accept his liver. "I really can't take your liver. That would be way too selfish of me."
"Aren't you being selfish, leaving your daughter in my hands and depriving Jake of his mother's love? At the very least, Chelsea enjoyed five years of her mother's love. What about Jake? How pitiful is he? What you're doing is incredibly selfish!"noveldrama
Theodore had no choice but to be harsh with his words.
In pain, Rosalie begged, "Theo, don't force me, please?"
"You're the one forcing me and the children!" Theodore bit out angrily. "See how pitiful the two of them are. Are you really going to let them see their mother die before their eyes? You're being way too cruel to them!"
Tears streamed down Rosalie's face as she looked at her two children. She shut her eyes tight in pain.
"Theo, I really can't take your liver. If anything were to happen, you'll die."
"I won't. Liver transplant technology is very mature, and I've found the best doctor for it. Nothing will happen."
"No! Even if there's only a 10% chance that something might happen, I can't take the risk. Theo, I really don't want to cause you any harm."
To Rosalie, taking Theodore's liver was cruel, too. She had been too cruel to him
in the past, and she couldn't bring herself to do it now. She couldn't get past herself.
Despite Theodore's repeated attempts at convincing Rosalie, she refused to budge.
Eventually, Theodore said to the two children, "Jake, Chelsea, let your mom rest. She's exhausted. Let's head out."
Theodore brought the both of them out of the ward.
After settling the children down in the lounge, Theodore wiped their tears away.
"Do you want Mommy to live on?" Theodore asked.
Both of them nodded profusely.
"Then later on, when you go back into the ward, tell Mommy to accept Daddy's liver. That way, Mommy will survive."
"But Mommy doesn't want it," Chelsea said. "We can't convince her."
Theodore caressed her face.
He then glanced at Jake. "Jake, we're counting on you for this. Help Daddy convince Mommy. She feels guilty toward you, so tell her that you want her by your side and that you missed her a lot over the years. You don't want her to leave you, so she has to accept Daddy's liver."
"But Dad, if you give Mom your liver, will you die?" Jake asked.
That was what Jake was most worried about.
Theodore smiled tenderly at Jake, a tinge of bitterness in his smile. "I'm just donating half of my liver to
Mommy. I won't die. What's moret
the liver is amazing and can grow back again. Even if I donate half my liver to Mommy, the half that I lost will grow back. Mommy's liver will grow, too. Both of us will have
complete livers."
"I see," Jake said, utterly relieved. So the liver can grow! He thought Daddy would
die or live with just half a liver after donating his liver to Mommy.
"But Mr. Spencer," Chelsea said. "If the liver can grow, why doesn't Mommy want your liver?"
"That's because she thinks that
taking my liver will hurt me and is too cruel to me. But I don't think so. just want to save her. So when you two goback to the ward later on, try to convince your mommy. Especially you, Jake. I'm counting on you. Please have a good chat with Mommy."
Since Theodore couldn't convince Rosalie, he had to rely on the two children.
Both of them nodded.
