    When Charlie made the call, Doris Young respectfully responded, saying, “Master, how may I assist you?”


    With a smile, Charlie replied, “I don’t have any orders for you, just what I mentioned yesterday. Are you free tonight? If you are, please join the Quinton family gathering. Although you all visited me during the New Year, we haven’t had a meal together since then, which is quite unfortunate.”


    Doris Young offered a reluctant smile and replied, “Master, why are you being so formal with me?”


    Charlie chuckled, saying, “This isn’t about formality, but about being polite! I’ve prepared a small gift for everyone. It’s not much, just a little something. If you have time, pleasee by and join us. If not, that’s fine too; I can send the gift to youter.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Doris Young quickly responded, “Master! How can you think of giving me something? Just tell me the time and ce, and I’ll definitely be there tonight!”


    Charlie said, “Alright, I’ll send you the details via WeChat.”


    Doris, feeling a bit awkward, replied, “Master, I might not be able to stay too long tonight, and I may need to leave early. I hope you can forgive me!”


    Charlie reassured her, “No problem at all. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your ownmitments.”


    Doris Young felt a wave of relief. Truthfully, given her current state, she had little interest in food. Her father was gravely ill in the hospital, and the thought of attending a dinner felt unnecessary to her. Sincest night, she had only managed a few sips of water and hadn’t felt any hunger. However, since Charlie was her boss and his invitation was so kind, she felt it would be inappropriate not to attend. So, she resolved to go and put her phone back in her pocket as she walked away.


    Upon returning to the ward, she heard soft sobbing from inside. Doris Young’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly opened the door. Inside, she found her mother crying on the sofa in the small living room outside the suite, while Walter, her college ssmate, stood in front of her mother with a smile on his face.


    Seeing this, Doris Young’s anger red, and she eximed, “Walter! Who invited you here?! What did you say to my mother?!”<fnec78> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? findnovel</fnec78>


    Walter turned to face Doris Young, a slight smile on his lips. “Ms. Young, I was just here to inform your mother about a recent update regarding the kidney source in the United States.”


    Before Doris could respond, he sighed and continued, “Unfortunately, Ms. Young, rh negative blood is exceedingly rare, and the kidney source in question is even scarcer. Currently, it is being sought after by a patient in France who is willing to pay a high price. Moreover, I haven’t had confirmation from the donor in a while, so they’re bing a bit uncertain.”


    Doris Young frowned and asked coldly, “What exactly are you implying?”


    Walter chuckled, “It’s quite simple, Ms. Young! This kidney source is a one-in-a-million opportunity. The donor is willing to sell a kidney for cash, and if you agree to my terms, I can arrange for the kidney removal operation in the United States today. We can then freeze the kidney and transport it to China, ensuring your father receives the transnt by tomorrow. But…”


    Walter continued, licking his lips, “If you don’t agree soon, the donor will likely sell to the French. Remember, people only have two kidneys, and if he sells one to the French, he won’t sell the other to me!”


    “So, you need to carefully consider my offer, because time is of the essence!”
