Chapter 1528
Steven looked at Finn, his face flushed with anger, his expression darkening with fury. Having a father like Finn was humiliating. "What possible consequences could there be?" he sneered.
Finn's face fell at the question. For some reason, guilt gnawed at him, and a strange unease crept in. A part of him sensed that if he continued to push Steven, he might live to regret it.noveldrama
But there was no time to dwell on those thoughts. He couldn't afford to waste any more energy playing games with Steven and the others.
Whether it was Janine, Steven, or the others, they all seemed so cruel-hearted. He had told them that his daughter was ill and needed their help, but every one of them just stood by and did nothing. After taking a deep breath, Finn gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want things to get worse between us. All I'm asking is for you, as brothers, to step up and protect your sister right now.
"But you're all so heartless. The way you're acting now, you will definitely regret it later! You've brought this upon yourselves!"
"Nice speech! That's exactly what should be said to you. Abandoning your wife and children to raise a kid with your mistress-you're the one who's guilty of all this, and it's no wonder your daughter's sick." With that, Steven turned around and walked straight back to the company building, not bothering to waste any more words on Finn. Finn stared, fuming with anger as Steven walked away without a second thought. He gritted his teeth. "If I'd known you were this cold-hearted, I never should have had you with Janine!"
He was furious, blaming everything on how Janine had raised Steven.
Before reaching out to them, Finn had a pang of guilt toward Janine and the kids. After all, he had neglected them for 20 years. But now, thinking about his daughter's condition, he realized just how heartless they all were.
He had given them money and property as compensation, yet they acted as though it meant nothing, clinging to the past instead of moving forward.
After a moment of silence, Finn finally made up his mind and dialed a number. "Alright, I agree. Let's do it your way. My daughter can't wait any longer."
...
For the next three days, Finn didn't show up in front of Steven or the others. Steven paid no mind to Finn's sudden disappearance.
Life went on as usual, with everyone focused on their work.
Skylar was also preoccupied with her work every day.
That afternoon, Skylar had just finished work and was on her way home when she received a call from Joe.
"Are you off work?" Joe asked.
"Just finished, I'm on my way home now."
Joe's tone sounded slightly serious. "I'm at home waiting for you. There's something we need to talk about."
Skylar felt a moment of hesitation,
sensing the gravity in his voice. She stepped on the brake as she
stopped at a red light, not asking
what it was but simply responding
with an "Okay". en
Before long, she arrived home.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Joe sitting on the couch, drinking a glass of water. She walked over to him.
Joe looked up as she approached.
"I've got some information from
Murida. Finn's daughter, the one he had with the mistress, is suffering from kidney failure and needs a kidney transplant. Finn approached Steven and the others—not for their bone marrow, but for their kidneys."
When Joe spoke these words, his face darkened.
"Kidney transplant?" Skylar's face shifted with shock. She hadn't expected Finn to be so audacious as to ask Steven and the others for their kidneys.
"Yes. They've been searching
everywhere for a suitable kidney, but
none have matched. So, they turned to Steven and the others." Joe seemed disgusted by Finn's
shamelessness.
As a father, Finn's lack of responsibility was one thing, but this was truly below any decent boundary.
Skylar sat down and took a moment to collect herself, trying to calm her emotions. "He actually thinks he has the right to ask for their kidneys? Who does he think he is?"
