Chapter 708

"The family donor has higher compatibility." The doctor adjusted his glasses. "We must act immediately."

Vivian Laurent clenched her phone. Theo's father had long passed away, leaving only Ethan Roscente and Sophia Evans as potential donors.

Ethan's voice was decisive when he answered. "I'll come for testing immediately. As for Sophia, I'll have her brought here."

The results came back quickly. Ethan's kidneys weren't compatible with Theo.

Sophia arrived in a white dress stained with Theo's blood. She struggled violently until a sharp chop to her neck rendered her unconscious.

"No match." The doctor shook his head.

Vivian stared at the report, her fingertips turning cold. Time was slipping away—Theo couldn't wait much longer.

"How long to source a kidney globally?" Ethan loosened his tie.

"I'll buy us time." Vivian pressed her lips together. "But the transportation must go flawlessly."

As Ethan turned to make international calls, Vivian suddenly stopped him. "What was your brother's blood type?"

"Same as mine. Type O."

Vivian's head snapped up. "Sophia is Type B, but Theo is Type A."

The air froze solid between them. The unbreakable laws of blood type inheritance hung like an iron curtain.

"Are you certain..." Vivian's voice tightened. "That Theo was really your brother's child?"

Ethan's jawline hardened. Theo did bear some Roscente features, but now every detail seemed distorted.

"We'll do a paternity test." He grabbed his jacket. "Now."

The hallway lights glared harshly. Vivian studied Ethan's tense profile. "If Theo isn't—"

"Save him first." He cut her off. "The child is innocent."

Memories churned in Ethan's mind—his brother's dying phone call, missing the birth during his recovery, the fragile infant he'd met upon returning. Each memory now clouded with suspicion.

If this was all a lie... had that fatal car accident really been just an accident?
