Ynda drove straight back to Moonbay Estate and waited for Charles until he finally came homete at night.
He looked a bit tired, unbuttoning his shirt as he nced at her by the door. “You’re still up<b>?</b>”
Ynda closed the door and lowered her gaze, stepping forward to help him with his tie. <fnc864> For original chapters go to find[?]ovel</fnc864>
Charles was used to her taking care of him, so he let her continue and asked in a calm voice, “You’re worried about William, aren’t you?”
She nodded. “The hospital’s been looking for a kidney donor, but I don’t know if they’ve found one yet.”
Charles rubbed his forehead. “There’s no rushing something like this.
Ynda watched <b>as </b>Charles pulled out a robe from the closet and walked straight into the bathroom, leaving his phone lying on the bed.
She’d been married to him for two years, always quiet and proper, never did anything out of the ordinary. So he never had any reason to doubt her.
The <b>Grant </b>family was like shackles to her, and her love for Charles was an even tighter shackle. They <b>all </b>thought she’d always be the docile<b>, </b>obedient doll. She lowered her gaze, staring at his phone.
When Charles came out and saw her still waiting, he raised an eyebrow and let out a soft chuckle. “Looks like you’re in the mood tonight,” he <b>teased</b>.
Ynda walked over to the sofa, picked up the suit he’d tossed on the floor, ying the perfect wife. “Charles, if something happens to William, I’ll be <b>really </b>upset.”
Charles <b>paused</b>, fingers still in his hair, and then carelessly pulled out a cigarette. “Honey, if anything does happen to William, I promise you, Sinir Group will take care of the orphanage. Would that make you feel better?”
Ynda’s heart sank. There was no point arguing with Charles about the kidney anymore; he’d already decided what he wanted to do.
<b>Charles </b>was cold and distant, and right <b>now</b>, he was only willing to take over the orphanage because of a sliver of guilt in his heart. He’d known from the start that the kidney he snatched was supposed to be for William.
She lowered her eyes and managed a small smile. “That puts my mind at ease. I’ll go get some rest now.”
Charles leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. “Still holding a grudge? Not even going to sleep with your husband tonight?”
“No, I’ve been having nightmarestely. I don’t want to keep you up,” she said, and then walked out.
The moment the door shut, all the warmth vanished from Charles’s eyes. His phone rang again; it was from the hospital. He lit his cigarette and asked, “Does she know about this<b>?</b>”

“I haven’t had the chance to tell Ms. Grant yet, came the reply.
“That’s fine<b>,” </b>Charles said coolly
“Mr. Sinir, the surgery is scheduled for two weeks from now. Is that alright?”
<b>“</b>As soon as possible,” he said, standing on the balcony and flicking ash from his cigarette, a faint smirk on his lips. Get the top specialists.”
“You can count on us, Mr. Sinir<b>.” </b>
Back in her bedroom, Ynda just couldn’t fall asleep. The kidney had already been snatched away by Charles’s side. If William missed this chance, he’d have to wait. He didn’t have that kind of time. I have to do something, she thought anxiously.
Early the next morning, Ynda found out Sinir Group’s surgery was scheduled in two weeks. She had to find <b>a </b>way for William to get that kidney before then.
Charles was taking this matter seriously. Unless something truly urgent forced <b>him </b>out of Beloris, he wasn’t going anywhere.
Ynda kept <b>drawing </b>on her <b>tablet </b>over and over until she finally settled on a workable n.
She contacted a friend abroad who worked in showbiz. When her friend heard the n, she couldn’t help but say, “This is pretty risky.”
Ynda took a deep breath, her eyes firm. I’m leaving things over there to you.”
“Alright, hope you can really pull this off, her friend replied.
A weekter, Ynda showed up at the edge of Charles’s bed, hugging her pillow. She took a sip from her ss of milk, and then ced the mostly full ss on the nightstand.
Charles watched as she slipped under the covers, his hand slipping around her <b>waist </b>in a teasing way. “Why the sudden visit tonight?”
She didn’t say a word, just curled up on her side of the bed.
<b>Charles </b>drained the rest of her milk andy down beside her. “Get some sleep. I’m tired too tonight.”
In the middle of the night, Ynda slowly sat up, carefully picked up his phone, and ced a call.
