Chapter 456 Congenital Heart Disease
After months of peace and quiet, York Charlie’s nerves hadn’t slackened for a moment, and his sharp eyes were still glued to Moren Howard’s side of the story, lest the other side take advantage of his lack of preparedness to set off a wave of frenzy.
Ilya and Elena Lawrence’s due dates also came and went, and on this day the crowd was simply very uneasy, waiting at the door of the maternity ward.
It was early in the morning when both women’s waters broke and they were sent to the waiting room.
However, the labor did not go smoothly, and the doctors did not recommend a cesarean section because of their physical condition.
Moren Howard and Francesca Jones were both accompanied as family members in the delivery room, watching their beloved women struggle in the hospital bed, crying out with great vigor.
The two men were uncharacteristically pinched and kept encouraging their wives by their side, giving motivation with words of love.
The two were finally the ones to deliver the fetus, yet the bad news began.
Moren Howard and Elena Lawrence’s baby suffered from congenital heart failure and would not live for more than a month.
The news was enough to break the parents’ hearts.
Francesca Jones and Ilya, on the other hand, had a baby boy and were rejoicing in the newborn’s birth.
On Elena Lawrence’s side, it was a sad day.
Moren Howard looked on in pain, the flesh of his heart being sliced open with a knife.
Why should Francesca Jones get a healthy baby and they have to face its death? He wasn’t happy about it.
Why hadn’t the heart condition been detected during the labor and delivery test, but only after the baby was born?
In a fit of rage over the hospital’s unwarranted error, Moren Howard removed all the doctors and nurses from the OB/GYN department, making it impossible for them to work in the field for the rest of their lives.
Elena Lawrence learned of this and didn’t speak in favor of those people.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
That’s what they deserved, and they wouldn’t have gotten it if they hadn’t been dedicated to their jobs.
They had given birth to a very clean baby boy, who was now being monitored in an incubator, and occasionally taken to the operating room for a heart problem that required a lot of resuscitation.
With each resuscitation, Elena Lawrence’s heart felt like it had died once and come back to life again.
“Moren, I’ve never done anything wrong in my life, so why are you being so unfair to us. This is the only child I have, ah, he hasn’t even had a good look at the world yet, he has to face death.”
I don’t know how many times Elena Lawrence had cried today, all in all her tears were close to drying up.
“It’s not your fault.” Moren Howard hugged the other woman tightly in his arms, his words far-fetched and comforting.
Was there really such a thing as karma? Because he’d engineered the death of Blanche Capra’s child, his child would have to pay for it?
No, he didn’t believe in such absurdity.
If that was the case, then who was going to pay for the life of his dead brother.
“Moren, I’d rather it be me who dies than our child, think of something, think of something, okay?”
Elena Lawrence still couldn’t face the fact that her child was about to die, but wherever there was still the slightest possibility, she wanted to keep her child alive.
“I won’t let you die and I won’t let anything happen to our baby.” Moren Howard soothed.
In truth, he didn’t know if he could do it or not, there was a Mr. William abroad who was extremely good at doing cardiology repair surgeries, literally reaching a point where no one could match him.
If this expert could be found to treat the child, there might still be a slight possibility of their child surviving.
After thinking of this, he immediately used all the manpower and resources at hand, trying to find Mr. William in the needle in the haystack.
Unfortunately, Mr. William has always been a world-shunning existence, and it is simply impossible for ordinary people to contact him.
Moren Howard accidentally found out that York Charlie had a little friendship with Mr. William.
He did not have time to hesitate, nor did he pay attention to the grudges between the two men.
He decided to personally go to the Charlie family villa to ask for help, “Help me inform that Moren Howard is coming to see York Charlie,” he spoke to the bodyguard who was in charge of guarding the gate, without his usual overbearing posture.
“Okay.” The bodyguard was ordered to go inside the villa and circulate for him.
York Charlie and Blanche Capra were both confused when they heard the briefing; why would Moren Howard come to the door?
But the man had come to their door, for better or worse, they couldn’t do anything to turn him away, so they had their men bring him in.
“What do you want again?” Blanche Capra’s hostility towards him was obvious, after all, it was true that this man had killed her child, and she couldn’t forgive him in any way.
This man was the real killer of her child.
“I don’t want anything, I came here to ask you for something.” The pleading intent in Moren Howard’s eyes was obvious, not the slightest bit fake.
“Ask us? Joke, even your famous Moren Howard has a day to ask for something? And the ones you’re begging are actually us haters, don’t you think it’s funny?” Blanche Capra has no problem giving a dislike.
“You guys can do whatever you want about the past, I can apologize and make amends. I only ask one thing of you, help me find Mr. William and save my child.”
Now that Moren Howard is a father, he loves and cherishes his children, and revenge is out of his mind for now.
“William? What makes you think that begging me will help, that if you beg me, I must help you?” York Charlie spoke out sarcastically, frankly he didn’t want to do this favor.
Besides, Moren Howard had a vendetta against him for killing his son, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to ask him to do a favor for his enemy?
“As long as you do me this favor, I can turn myself in and I’ll give you whatever you want.” Moren Howard arguably lowered himself to the dust just to save his and Elena Lawrence’s beloved child.
This is probably the heart of a father, and he has experienced it in a tangible way.
York Charlie was silent for a long time, didn’t say a word, just sized up Moren Howard in front of him with great interest, as if he had really changed.
Nowadays, the person in front of him, fading away that full of revenge, but also really a bit of a father’s compassionate heart.
“York Charlie, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, he is just a child, he did not do anything wrong.” Moren Howard couldn’t help the other man’s silence and spoke up again.
Blanche Capra laughed as if she had heard a great joke, “Your child is innocent, but mine is not? You didn’t think you’d see the day when you used your underhanded tactics to kill my child, did you?”
“Blanche Capra, you can take this life of mine anytime you want, I just want my child safe.” Moren Howard is a loving father of sorts, and like Elena Lawrence, he is just as willing to sacrifice his life for his children.
Hearing this, Blanche Capra didn’t know how to feel, she didn’t have a deep friendship with Elena Lawrence, and there was even a relationship with Moren Howard for killing her child, wouldn’t it be whimsical to ask her to help them?
“Moren Howard, I can agree to your request, but I have a premise.” At this time, York Charlie suddenly loosened his tongue.
