Chapter 5 Expose

• Jessica's face turned pale as she bit her lip in grievance. She questioned, "Seraphina, how could you say that? It's all because of me that Orion's been ignoring you. I feel so terrible."
• Seraphina didn't want to waste any more time with her. She turned directly to the doctor standing nearby and demanded, "I want to see her test results for today."
• The doctor was stunned and hesitated to react. After all, the test result was a matter of patient privacy.
• Orion glanced at the doctor and spoke in a calm tone. He commanded, "Show it to her; Seraphina isn't an outsider."
• Jessica's expression turned grim, but Seraphina merely smirked. She soon held the report in her hands.
• She scanned it quickly, her face showing nothing.
• There was nothing wrong with the report. Jessica had severe kidney failure, and she was recommended for an immediate transplant of a healthy kidney.
• The doctor spoke up from the side. "The patient's condition is very serious. If she doesn't get surgery soon, her life will be in danger."
• Orion added, "Seraphina, if you're willing to donate a kidney to Jessica, you'll get half of the family assets after the divorce."
• Jessica glanced at Orion, shocked by his words, before quickly responding, "No, no, Orion, you've already sacrificed so much for me! I can't drag you down any further!"
• Orion was deeply moved. He said, "No. Your brother gave his life to save me. I won't abandon you!"
• Seraphina sneered coldly as she watched the scene unfold.
• Honestly, from the start, she hadn't believed Jessica's claim of kidney failure. As a woman, she could tell that Jessica's pale complexion was nothing more than makeup.
• If she were truly that ill, why would she bother with cosmetics?
• But none of that matters now. She could play along.
• "If your condition is so serious, then let's go ahead with the surgery right away," Seraphina said abruptly.
• "What? Are you saying you'll donate your kidney to Jessica?" Orion asked with a pleasant surprise.
• Jessica was equally shocked. She wanted to say something, but Seraphina cut her off. "Of course, but not with me. I've already brought someone with RH-negative blood, so don't worry. I've made sure there won't be any complications."
• Ever since Emeris discovered his daughter possessed the uncommon RH-negative blood type, he has closely monitored individuals with the same type across the country. That way, in case of an emergency, there would always be a match.
• Among them were a few struggling financially—people willing to exchange a kidney for the right price for a more comfortable life.
• "Really?" Orion's face lit up with relief. Seraphina wouldn't have to sacrifice herself with this arrangement, and Jessica would still get the treatment she needed. It was the best possible outcome.
• Jessica's expression darkened. Her illness was fake. It was merely a ploy to get rid of Seraphina. She had already arranged for the attending doctor to stage the surgery, but only gave her a fake scar. The plan was to sell off Seraphina's kidney!
• Seraphina's scheme collapsed when she found another donor.
• Seraphina's next words plunged her into utter despair.
• "Oh, I didn't trust the doctors here, so I called Professor Stanley from the Serenity Health Institute in Marisol. He'll be performing the surgery himself. He's currently in the director's office. "I'll get him."
• Jessica's attending doctor instinctively wanted to protest, but at the mention of Professor Stanley, he immediately fell silent.
• There was no arguing with that. Stanley was a world-renowned urologist, the top in his field. The attending doctor couldn't compete.
• Jessica felt uneasy. At this point, even if she wasn't sick, she might just fall ill from fear alone.
• Were they really going to perform a kidney transplant on her after replacing her attending physician?
• Her concern wasn't unfounded. Stanley gained global recognition for his expertise in kidney transplants. His surgical skills were unmatched, with a near-perfect success rate. His extensive knowledge of transplant procedures made him an authority in the field.
• If Stanley truly took charge of the surgery, Jessica had no way out. She had only bribed the attending doctor—there was no chance Stanley would play along with her schemes.
