Chapter 4

"Have him come to the hospital immediately for a transfusion!"

I floated in midair, nodding desperately.

Go! That's your flesh and blood! Your daughter!

But Grant Thornton suddenly laughed coldly, refusing without hesitation.

"Officer, whatever bastard Stella Johnson found somewhere just happens to have my blood type."

"I've been cooperating with the investigation. I'm tired now. I'm not going."

The female officer became anxious. "That's a human life!"

Grant Thornton leaned back in his chair. "Her life has nothing to do with me."

The female officer's expression changed, her voice tinged with anger.

"Mr. Thornton, a life is at stake. If you're willing to donate blood, we can send you there by car, and you can continue the investigation after the transfusion. I'm begging you."

Grant Thornton covered his chest and took a deep breath.

"Let's go."

The police car raced toward the city center hospital with sirens blaring.

I stood in the vehicle, watching the scenery flying past the window.

Annie, wait, just wait a little longer.

Mommy's bringing someone to save you.

The car screeched to a halt at the emergency building entrance.

Grant Thornton pushed open the door and strode inside.

Lily suddenly emerged from the hallway.

She wore an oversized hospital gown, her face deathly pale, throwing herself into Grant Thornton's arms.

"Grant! My chest hurts so much! Am I having a rejection reaction?"

Grant Thornton's footsteps stopped dead.

He immediately held Lily, urgently shouting at the nurses' station: "Get a gurney! Call the cardiothoracic director down here now!"

The female officer ran out of the emergency room.

"Where's Mr. Thornton? The child can't hold on! Her blood pressure has dropped to thirty!"

Grant Thornton held Lily, not looking back.

"Can't you see she's having heart rejection!"

"Stella Johnson created this karma, let her repay it herself! If she hadn't deliberately framed us, how could Lily have ended up like this?"

The female officer rushed forward and grabbed his arm.

"Save that child first!"

Grant Thornton forcefully shook off the female officer's hand.

"Fuck off!"

In the livestream that had never been turned off, the comments had completely exploded.

[Is this guy insane? The mistress kicked the child and caused such a huge gash, and now he's protecting the perpetrator?]

[This couple is truly disgusting. He really thinks he's protecting some innocent patient.]

Grant Thornton glanced at the dense stream of curses on the screen, his face darkening to the extreme.

He continued to protectively hold Lily, righteously warning the camera: "You don't understand anything! Lily is the victim of Stella Johnson's schemes!"

At that moment, several officers arrived.

The lead officer pulled out handcuffs, directly restraining Lily on the gurney.

"Lily Wade, you're under arrest for intentionally causing serious injury to a child!"

Lily trembled all over, screaming in terror: "Grant! Save me! I didn't hurt her, the kid ran into me herself!"

Grant Thornton flew into a rage, shielding Lily behind him.

"Are you crazy! She's a patient who just had a heart transplant! This is all Stella Johnson's conspiracy, she deliberately had that bastard stage this to frame Lily!"

The police showed no compromise.

"The suspect must come with us immediately! Mr. Thornton, please don't obstruct official business!"

Grant Thornton watched helplessly as Lily was forcibly taken into the elevator, unable to stop it, his chest heaving violently in anger.

He turned and ran right into the female officer.

"I'll give her the transfusion. I hope when she's fine, you'll release Lily!"

But the female officer glared at him.

"No need for a transfusion! The child is dead!"
