Chapter 970: Chapter 970: Matching Hearts
"How could it be congenital heart disease... this child..."
"But no matter what, it can still be treated."
"The child is already nearly six years old now, the risk might be a bit high if surgery is to be done."
Grace Thompson actually didn’t understand much of what they were saying, but in the end, she still caught the words "heart disease."
So it turned out that this painful illness had appeared in her body.
"Grace."
Charlotte Thompson’s words interrupted Grace Thompson’s thoughts, "Your illness will be healed soon, now you just need to rest well, be good and eat, and sleep."
"Okay."
Grace Thompson agreed, feeling very exhausted at the moment so she naturally closed her eyes following Charlotte Thompson’s movements and soon fell into a deep sleep.
However, sitting at the bedside, Charlotte Thompson couldn’t completely hide the expression on her face.
She originally wanted to reach out and touch Grace Thompson’s cheek again, but fearing she would wake her up, her palm just stopped in mid-air.
Such a kind and lovely child, now she could only lie in the hospital bed.
A sourness pressed on Charlotte Thompson’s heart, her mouth twitching into a wry smile.
Charlotte Thompson kept thinking, if she had done something wrong, why didn’t fate punish her directly instead of hurting the people she cared about the most.
It was like an invisible blade, relentlessly cutting at the places where she could least bear the pain.
The hand resting on her thigh involuntarily tightened, Charlotte Thompson pinched her somewhat sore nose tip and finally tiptoed out of the ward.
The temperature in the corridor was somewhat cool, causing Charlotte Thompson, who was lightly dressed, to shrink her shoulders slightly.
She took out her cellphone from her pocket and ended up unknowingly walking to the end of the corridor window.
Outside, the sky was a pitch-black, with Charlotte Thompson only able to see her own reflection in the glass.
She gently lowered her head and eventually dialed Henry Thompson’s number.
"Brother..."
As soon as Charlotte Thompson spoke, she realized her voice was terribly hoarse; she didn’t give herself time to recover, almost as soon as Henry Thompson answered the call, she told him everything that had happened today.
"Grace, she’s been diagnosed with congenital heart disease."
"What did you say?" Henry Thompson couldn’t believe his ears for the first time.
"Today, Grace suddenly fainted at home, Justin and I brought her to the hospital, where they discovered she has a heart condition."
Charlotte Thompson spoke painfully, each time she mentioned this matter, it felt as if a wound that hadn’t yet healed was being cruelly ripped open again.
"How could this happen... Which hospital did the examination?" Henry Thompson was immediately doubtful.
Why hadn’t Grace Thompson’s heart condition been discovered before?
"It was Vincent, someone you know," Charlotte Thompson said dryly.
After a moment of silence on the phone, Henry Thompson’s voice finally came through again.
"Is there any way to treat it?"
"Vincent said, the best option is to perform a heart transplant within the next couple of months," Charlotte Thompson slowly said.
How old is Grace Thompson now, to already need a heart transplant?
Upon hearing this, Henry Thompson’s brow furrowed tightly involuntarily.
"Charlotte, don’t worry, I will definitely find a matching heart for Grace," Henry Thompson said.
"I’m sorry, brother..."
Charlotte Thompson couldn’t help but apologize, "Did I cause more trouble for the Thompson Family again...?"
"Charlotte, what are you talking about? You are a member of the Thompson Family, even if the sky falls down, you have your brother to support you, don’t be afraid."
