Joseph did not directly answer Fanny’s doubts.

He first bent down and said a few words to Scarlet, then walked a few steps away with Fanny before saying, “Fanny, you should have less contact with Christopher in the future.”
As expected, when Fanny heard Joseph mention Christopher, she didn’t know how to react and could only lower her head and ask why.
With a sigh, Joseph said, “Fanny, he is secretly meeting with the lady from
- Northland.”
Fanny replied, “Joseph, I already know about this.”
She had known from the beginning of Christopher’s blind date that it was all Michael’s idea, and Christopher was not willing. In addition, he had explained to her about asking Michael to find a kidney source, so the last time Christopher was beaten was almost because of her, How could she not have contact with Christopher?
Surprised, Joseph fell silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Gregory came out from the emergency room.
Fanny also saw the doctor and did not want to continue talking with Joseph about this. She hurried over and asked, “Dr. Clinton, how is Zacharias doing?”
Gregory said, “He’s out of immediate danger, but he can’t keep going like this.”
Joseph walked over and overheard the conversation.
“We understand, Dr. Clinton,” he said.

Gregory glanced at them and left. Scarlet sighed with relief and then told Joseph about their failed attempt to persuade Angela to treat him.
“That wretched woman, Angela, wants Zacharias to die!” Scarlet said with tears welling up in her eyes.
Joseph sighed heavily. “If she won’t treat him, there’s nothing we can do. Mom, please don’t cry. We still have to go see Zacharias later.”
After a while, when Zacharias was wheeled out of the emergency room, the two of them followed alongside.
Suddenly, Gregory approached Joseph and whispered something to him. Joseph looked up, and Gregory said, “Let’s talk in my office.”
Joseph realized it was about Fanny’s kidney donation and quickly followed him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Gregory’s office and Joseph couldn’t contain his excitement as he asked, “Dr. Clinton, did you really find a suitable kidney donor?”
Gregory shook his head.
Joseph’s hopes were dashed in an instant, and he visibly slumped with disappointment.
Dejectedly, he asked, “Then why did you say that earlier, Dr. Clinton?”
He had been so thrilled because he thought Gregory had whispered to him about news regarding Fanny’s kidney donor.
Gregory sighed heavily, hesitated for a moment, and then began, “This isn’t something I should be discussing, but…”
Joseph anxiously interrupted, “Then why use the kidney donor story to

bring me here?”
Gregory didn’t address Joseph’s question directly and instead took a moment before asking, “Do you know the current situation of Zacharias?”
Joseph was taken aback. Why did Dr. Clinton suddenly bring up Zacharias?
Upon seeing his bewildered expression, Gregory continued, “If he’s rushed into the emergency room again, chances are he won’t make it back.”
“What do you mean?” Joseph had a sinking feeling in his heart.
Gregory sighed. “He was the one who suggested the kidney transplant.”
Joseph immediately understood what he meant. Stepping back, he nervously asked, “Are you saying Zacharias offered his kidney for Fanny?”
From what Gregory’s implying, is it Zacharias‘ idea in the first place? With his health already so fragile, there’s no way he can survive after donating a kidney! Does he really have no desire to live anymore?
Joseph felt the world closing in on him.
Seeing Gregory nod, Joseph struggled to breathe. But knowing that a kidney transplant could save Fanny, and considering Zacharias‘ perilous condition, he hesitated for a moment before finally asking, “Is it possible?”
“It’s not certain. We need to conduct a compatibility test first, and only if the results are favorable can the transplant proceed,” Gregory reminded, “You should begin with the compatibility test.”
Upon learning that a compatibility test was still required, Joseph let out a sigh of relief before responding, “I will take that into consideration.”
After his conversation with Gregory, Joseph left the ward feeling disoriented.

He went to visit Zacharias, who was surprisingly awake and engaged in conversation with Fanny.
Joseph hurried over subconsciously, only to hear that they weren’t discussing kidney transplants, which eased his worries.
Upon seeing Joseph’s troubled expression, Scarlet felt a sense of panic and suddenly inquired, “Joseph, what did Dr. Clinton say? How is Zacharias‘ condition?”
As soon as she asked this question, both Fanny and Zacharias stopped talking and looked at him nervously, just like Scarlet.
Joseph immediately felt a headache coming on and stated, “I will go see Angela again.”
Gregory even mentioned kidney transplant and compatibility, indicating that Zacharias was truly running out of time. However, he couldn’t bring himself to say it in front of everyone.
If he had to say it, it would have to be in private.
Upon hearing this, the others did not press further. Instead, Zacharias smiled at Joseph and casually remarked, “Joseph, Angela probably won’t change her mind.” /
Joseph felt uneasy but replied, “Take care of yourself. I’ll be back.“.
With that, he left the ward.
He attempted to contact Angela again but was unsuccessful, so he decided to find Yoanna’s contact information in the medical records and gave her a call.
Angela had visited Yoanna at the hospital before, and Joseph had noted their acquaintance. Now, he could use Yoanna to reach Angela.

“Who’s this?” Yoanna answered the phone without checking the caller ID.
Joseph was concerned that she might hang up upon knowing his identity, so he did not introduce himself directly. Instead, he said, “Miss Tuckson, I am looking for Angela Kins.”
Without any introduction, Yoanna, upon hearing Angela’s name mentioned, was not polite and continued to inquire, “Who are you?”
Joseph’s mouth twitched as he debated whether to be straightforward with her or not.
While he was still contemplating, Yoanna ended the call.
Yoanna was having a meal with Ava and Sophia.
After ending the call, she complained to her friends. “I don’t know who that was, calling me to find Angela.”
Ava asked, “If he didn’t disclose his identity, he must have some issues.”
Sophia pondered for a moment, then suddenly stated, “He didn’t directly contact Angela, but reached out to you, which means it must be because Angela does not want to speak with him.”
Yoanna thought it made sense and said after a moment, “Then let’s just ignore him.”
As soon as she said that, the phone rang again.
It was the same number as before.
She gestured toward her phone, did not answer directly, but informed the other two, “It’s the same person as before.”
Sophia reached for the phone, saying, “Let me find out who it is.”

Yoanna handed her the phone directly.
Upon answering the call, Sophia mimicked Angela’s voice and asked, “What do you want?”

On the other end of the line, Joseph was first surprised, then delighted.
He didn’t expect Yoanna to be with Angela. Just a moment ago it was Yoanna who answered the phone, but now it was Angela.
Ava and Yoanna also looked at Sophia in surprise. They did not expect her to be able to mimic someone else’s voice.
