NOVPUBChapter 1295: 586 Wipe Eyes_2 Chapter 1295: 586 Wipe Eyes_2 The woman across from Aubree Groove, upon seeing her, instinctively raised her hand to cover her face, trembling from fear.
She quickly realized the futility of her actions, and suddenly dropped her hand, staring coldly at Aubree.
Taking a few steps to face Aubree, she raised her chin, still ever the arrogant and elegant socialite.
The young lady before her, even dressed in solemn black, was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Her raven-black hair was dense like thick ink, her skin was fair and translucent, her eyes calm and serene.
The radiance emanating from her was as dazzling as daylight.
It deeply stung Xenia Groove’s eyes.
...
Blinking her dry eyes, Xenia managed to speak in her practiced tone, “Aubree, it has been a while.”
Her nails bit tightly into her palm, the sharp pain keeping her rational.
Aubree nodded, “It has indeed been a while.”
Aubree’s calm demeanor was like a dense needle piercing deeply into her heart.
Seeing her in such a sorry state now, was Aubree happy deep down?
Xenia forced a smile and said, “I have some good news to share with you.
I found my biological father, and his identity surprised me.
Do you know who he is?”
The young lady before her still wore her eternally calm and nonchalant expression, as if she didn’t care to know who Xenia’s biological father was.
She slightly nodded, “Congratulations.”
This was not the reaction Xenia wanted.
She curled the corners of her mouth and said deliberately, “Whatever you’ve taken from me, I’m going to take it back.
Your triumph won’t last long.”
Aubree raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?
We’ll see.”
Having spoken, she brushed past Xenia, leaving without looking back.
Xenia turned around, glaring at Aubree’s retreating figure resentfully, “Why can you take everything from me and still act so arrogantly?
There will come a day when I’ll take everything back, and that will mark your end.”
Xenia took a deep breath.
She couldn’t wait that long.
She returned to her apt, and dialed Stella White’s number.
“Let’s start the plan.
I can’t wait any longer.”
Xenia was eager to crush Aubree under her foot.
“Bella, I made your favourite sweet and sour ribs.
You haven’t been eating for days, and you can’t keep going on like this.” Verine Hayes entered with a meal box.
Xenia glared at Verine, which made her feel uneasy.
She touched her face, “Do I have something dirty on my face?”
“I didn’t expect you to resort to such means.
I must have underestimated you.”
Verine was stunned, “Bella, what are you talking about?”
“It’s okay.
Even if you deliberately kept it from me, I won’t blame you.
You’re timid and weak, that’s why you’ve ended up where you are now.
When I become successful, I’ll let you live a life of luxury.
After all, you gave birth to me.”
Verine walked over and touched Bella’s forehead, “Are you running a fever?”
Xenia slapped her hand away, irritatedly stating: “I’m great, feeling terrific.”
In the study of the Harts, Lorcan Hart said to Digby Hart, “Sir, should we inform Ms.
Aubree beforehand?”
Digby thought for a moment: “Let’s wait until we get the results.”
Lorcan nodded: “Sounds fine, I will arrange it now.”
The Artie Group’s main line of business was information technology.
When it came to maritime search and rescue services, Artie Group had the most advanced technology.
Therefore, as soon as the cargo ship had an accident, Digby had dispatched a rescue team.
Due to the complex terrain around Beverley Island, it would take a certain amount of time to get the results.
Lorcan’s phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and instinctively furrowed his brows.
He said to Digby, “Excuse me, sir, I need to take a call.”
With that, he pushed the door open and left.
The call was from the hospital.
The compatibility results were out.
Digby completely matched the criteria for kidney donation.
The hospital was calling to inquire about Digby’s willingness and the possible timeline for the surgery since the patient couldn’t wait too long.
Lorcan frowned.
He did not expect such a rare occurrence to actually happen: “What impact would donating a kidney have on the sir’s health?”
“Well! There will definitely be an impact, but there’s no need to worry too much.
Medical technology is very advanced nowadays, and once artificial kidney technology is developed, the impact will be minimal.”
The doctor was making empty promises, Lorcan Hart held his phone tightly: “I understand.”
He hung up the phone decisively.
Rubbing his temples, he made up his mind.
As Lorcan Hart turned around, he was startled by Nana Breezent standing behind him, which caused him to frown: “Ms.
Breezent, why are you here?”
Nana Breezent was holding a tray in her hands, she looked at Lorcan Hart with a frown: “Who is Digby Hart donating his kidney to?”
Lorcan Hart looked at the tightly closed study door, and lowered his voice to say: “Ms.
Breezent, you heard wrong.
The master would never donate his kidney.”
Nana Breezent looked deeply into his eyes: “I hope I heard wrong.”
Nana Breezent put the tray with tea into Lorcan Hart’s hands: “He refused to let me into the study.
I’ve brewed his favourite Wuyi Rock Tea.
Please take it to him.” With that, she turned around and went downstairs.
Lorcan Hart held the tray and opened the study door.
Digby Hart asked casually: “Has there been any news from the hospital?”
Lorcan Hart pursed his lips, and poured a cup of tea in front of Digby Hart: “No.”
Digby Hart glanced at him: “Don’t you know, when you lie, you tend to blink rapidly.”
Lorcan Hart’s hand trembled, spilling the tea, he immediately said: “I apologize sir, I was just…I just don’t want you to unnecessarily sacrifice a kidney.”
Digby Hart shook his head: “You’re wrong, I owe her this.
Arrange the operation.”
“Sir…” Lorcan Hart was getting anxious.
Digby Hart chuckled and shook his head: “You are still young.
It’s only a kidney, not the heart.
I won’t die.”
“But about the old man, let’s keep this from him for now, I haven’t figured out how to handle this yet.”
Digby Hart thought about the impressions he had of Xenia Groove, they were not good.
Perhaps, this was his punishment from the heavens.
——
Agave Rinto had already woken up, while Ricky Wood was severely injured.
Even if he survived, he ended up paralyzed, and would need a wheelchair for life.
Agave Rinto was recuperating these few days, Aubree Groove had deliberately kept the news about the happening at the company from him.
However, the truth would eventually come out, and Agave Rinto found out.
He ripped out the IV from his hand, ready to get out of bed.
Aubree Groove stood in front of him: “Are you trying to kill yourself?”
“There’s trouble at the company, I have to step up and take responsibility.” The pale man’s tone was firm and beyond doubt.
Aubree Groove looked into his eyes, “Do you trust me?”
Agave Rinto remained silent for a while, almost lost in her mysterious eyes.
“Of course I do.”
“Then you should rest and recover.
I will handle the company matters.”
Agave Rinto furrowed his brow: “But!”
“What ‘but’?” Aubree Groove rang the emergency bell by the bedside, and waited for the nurse to come and reset his IV.
After the nurse left, Aubree Groove pulled up a chair and sat down.
She adjusted the rate of his IV: “I am a member of the Rinto family, not only you should be responsible for this, I should too.
If you trust me, then take good care of yourself and wait for my news.”
Agave Rinto looked deeply at her: “Okay, I trust you.”
Aubree Groove asked: “Several years ago you hired a group of mercenaries to wipe out the pirates, are they still available?”
Agave Rinto nodded: “Of course they are.
What are you planning to do?”
