NovelBarSEND GIFT COMMENT Mon, Nov 18 Chapter 265 94% As soon as Emmalie's tears fell, Duncan's heart softened. "What matching? We're not doing this. Thea has been heartless since childhood. She even handed you over to human traffickers when she was that young. Now it's tfor her to pay the price." He held Emmalie's hand tightly and turned to leave. But before he could take a step, someone blocked his way.
Nicolas stood behind a group of people, a mocking smile on his face. "Where do you think you're going, Mr. Hendrix?" "Mr. Hendrix, both matching and donation require consent. We're here, but if we refuse, you can't force us to comply, can you?" Duncan shielded Emmalie who was trembling behind him, refusing to let go. Although both were his sisters, Duncan had never before shown such fierce protection for Thea.
"Thea is your sister too. She's lying on the operating table, fighting for her life. Duncan, are you really going to erase Thea's chance at life just because you're scared?" Nicolas's voice grew colder. Though Nicolas hadn't been part of Thea's earlier life, he could guess from the Rowland family's current favoritism just how poorly Thea had been treated. They had never seen her as family.
"Do you think my contract is so easy to dismiss?" Nicolas waved a thin piece of paper in his hand. It was the project Max had been dreaming about.
Max becagitated. "Duncan, what did you say at hearlier? It's all for Thea. Do you really want to stand by and watch her die? She's our sister!" Without needing Nicolas to intervene, Max had already started pulling and dragging them. "Today, as the spokesperson for the Rowland family, I demand that anyone who dares to step out of this hospital never consider themselves part of the Rowland family again. How could you let Thea suffer without help? Has your conscience all gone?" Even Ivy chose not to side with Emmalie this time. "Emmalie, don't be stubborn with Max. It's just a blood draw. It won't hurt... I'll be right here with you, okay?" No matter what, Emmalie couldn't leave. Duncan might argue with his family, but he couldn't defy those watching them closely.
Nicolas waited until they had completed the matching tests before standing guard at the emergency room door. Before he left, he made sure to remind them. "Keep an eye on them. No one can leave until the results are out." The results cquickly. The doctor held up a report that boldly displayed Emmalie's name. Even Emmalie herself couldn't believe it, thinking, "The matching worked forand Thea? How is that possible? We have no blood relation at all.'
