The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Janet put a call through to the hospital as soon as she got home.

She didn’t have all the money yet for Hannah’s medical bills, but it was good news that the hospital had found the perfect match liver.

Money was hard to come by these days. Janet had barely had time to work for it. From her calculations, the money she had wouldn’t be enough, but she still wanted to communicate with the hospital. She wanted to inquire if the operation could be carried out and she would pay the balance later.

“Hello, I’m the relative of the patient that needs a liver transplant. Her name is Hannah Stone. I want to make an inquiry. A perfect match liver has been found for her, right? How soon can she get the transplant?” Holding her phone pressed to her ear with one hand, Janet put all the food she had bought into the fridge with the other.

“Did you say Hannah Stone? Please wait for a moment. I need to check our database. Oh, I’m so sorry, ma’am. We were just about to call you. A few minutes ago, we received a call from our superior. The liver can’t be used for her anymore. The patient who wanted to be euthanized and donate the liver has decided to continue treatment instead. Since there’s no matching donor, you would have to wait.”

The vegetable Janet was holding fell to the floor as soon as she heard this news.

It was a bolt out of the blue for her. She suddenly froze like a statue.

“Why did the patient have a change of heart? How come? Why? No, no… I didn’t mean… But…” The shock was too much that Janet could barely think straight, let alone speak coherently.

A patient, who had overheard her conversation with the nurse moved close to her and shook his head sympathetically. “Young lady, you should go back home. There’s no point wasting time here. I have seen a lot of cases like yours. Believe me when I say that they are just lying to you by saying that the donor decided to continue treatment instead. They must have given the perfect
