After Kaydron left, the casino manager promptly exited through the back door of the casino with his associates.

In the car, the manager dialed a number.

“It’s all set,” he said with a hint of flattery in his voice.

After hearing something from the other end, the manager kept agreeing, “Sure, sure.”

Once the call ended, the driver who had worked for Kaydron asked the manager, “Is this also instructed by that person from above?”

“Not exactly. It’s a good chance to pin the blame on Mr. Reed. Someone in the middle took initiative, and you don’t need to worry about it. Follow the original plan tomorrow, kidnap the target, and after the examination time is up, hand her over to Mr. Reed.”

“Understood,” the driver immediately complied, not probing further.

They all were aware that the person above was connected to the Shelton Family, and it wasn’t their place to question or discuss such matters.

If someone overheard, it could lead to serious trouble.

Meanwhile, Kaydron was oblivious to the fact that he was being targeted, not to mention a huge trap being prepared just for him. It was his unfortunate timing that made him an easy scapegoat for the

Shelton Family’s plan against Angela.

As for Fanny, she woke up early, restless about planning her successful return to Riverdon.

With no mood to attend school, she decided to take a leave, just like before.

Considering Florence had assigned people to follow her, she lost all desire to step outside.

Furthermore, James had said they would discuss returning to Riverdon today, but he and Scarlet left early in the morning without any sign of discussion. She was even clueless about their whereabouts.

Feeling uneasy, she decided to gauge Zacharias‘ opinion on returning to Riverdon.

After taking a deep breath, she knocked on Zacharias‘ door.

After a while, Zacharias‘ weak voice came from inside, “Come in.”

She entered to see Zacharias looking frail and pale, as if he had just managed to wash and

tidy up. His gaunt figure seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

The draft from the door caused Zacharias to sway, looking as if he was about to fall.

She quickly rushed over, helping him to sit in the wheelchair by the bathroom door.

“Zacharias, are you feeling unwell anywhere?” she asked with concern.

He weakly shook his head. “No.” His voice was hoarse and feeble.

As Fanny pushed the wheelchair out, she casually inquired, “Zacharias, do you know what James and Mom went out for?”

Zacharias was momentarily taken aback before asking, “Mom and James went out?”

He had been thinking about how to secretly visit the hospital without James and Scarlet knowing, unaware that they had already left. And with Fanny still at home, he realized today was the perfect opportunity to take her to another hospital.

Fanny pouted. “So, you don’t know either.”

Noticing Zacharias lost in thought, Fanny pondered how to ask him about returning to Riverdon or if he was willing to go back with her. Despite thinking it over, she couldn’t find the right words.

While she was troubled, Zacharias suddenly spoke up, suggesting they visit the hospital together.

Confused by the sudden shift in topic, Fanny asked, “Zacharias, are you feeling unwell or need a hospital check–up?”

“Feeling a bit unwell, accompany me, please,” he replied.

Fanny couldn’t say no, though she internally complained about Zacharias‘ demands. Remembering their kidney compatibility, she mustered some patience and agreed to accompany him to the hospital.

Soon enough, Fanny set off with Zacharias.

However, Zacharias insisted on going to a different hospital.

“Aren’t we going to Mercy Hospital, Zacharias? It’s not far, and you were treated there before, so they should be more familiar with your condition,” Fanny questioned.

Finding Zacharias‘ behavior a bit strange, Fanny raised an eyebrow.

Zacharias sighed and explained, “We’re going to a private hospital run by a friend of mine.

He says it’s good.”

Though still finding it strange, Fanny didn’t question further.

In the cab. Zacharias suddenly inquired about her health, leading her to suspect her exaggerated sickness act from the night before was too convincing.

She assured him she was fine.

He nodded and suggested, “Fanny, why don’t you also get a check–up today?”

At that moment, Fanny realized why everything felt odd.

Was he considering donating his kidney to me?

This thought secretly thrilled her, but she modestly agreed.

Her diagnosis of kidney failure was a recent event, and because it was in the early stages, there were no significant changes to her health. Yet, the condition hung over her like the sword of Damocles, always threatening to fall.

Aware that her match with Zacharias was likely successful, she couldn’t stop thinking about how to get his kidney transplanted into her.

Now that Zacharias had initiated the process, Fanny was thrilled, though she knew she had to conceal her excitement.

Feigning just the right amount of doubt, she asked, “Is it necessary? But Zacharias, I just had a check– up at Mercy Hospital.” Her recent health scare had alarmed Scarlet, leading to that check–up.

This pretext was perfect for nudging Zacharias to reveal the truth about their manipulated matching results.

As expected, Zacharias frowned upon hearing this.

He appeared contemplative, causing Fanny to wait anxiously, her heart racing with a mix of discomfort and eagerness.

Eventually, Zacharias broke the silence, saying, “Fanny, there’s something I need to tell you.” He spoke softly, ensuring others wouldn’t overhear.

Leaning in, Fanny wore a mask of confusion and concern.

“The matching results we got before might not be accurate,” Zacharias confessed, then, amidst Fanny’s shocked gaze, continued, “We need to redo the matching test at a private hospital owned by my friend.”

Fanny, pretending to be too surprised to speak, prompted Zacharias to sigh and ask, “Is that okay with you?”

She nodded, feigning comprehension, then started to object, “Zacharias, we don’t need to do it. Even if the match is successful, I can’t let you donate your kidney. Your health is too fragile.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She had no idea about the previous test, as it was Christopher who had taken the initiative to have the doctors do it during her check–up.

So, this time, of course, she couldn’t just agree to it!

Fanny was getting into the role, unaware that there was a car following them.

And in that car sat none other than James, Scarlet, with Hugh behind the wheel.
