Chapter 611

My mother sighed and smiled at me and Quentin, saying, “Look at you two, making such a big deal out of nothing. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you myself.”

My mother went to the kitchen as she spoke.

Quentin didn’t say anything; he just sat wearily on the sofa.

I pursed my lips and followed my mother to the kitchen.

After dinner, Quentin had no intention of going back. He wanted to spend more time with my mom here.

I saw Quentin accompanying my mother, so I went to Reynaldo’s place.

When I arrived at Mikaela’s ward, I found Mikaela in a coma, with Reynaldo by her bedside, his eyes slightly red.

Kimberly was also there, comforting Reynaldo.

My heart skipped a beat as I walked in quickly and asked, “How is she, Mom?”

Upon hearing my voice, Reynaldo quickly turned around to look at me and said, “Esmeralda, how did you come here?”

“You didn’t answer my calls all day today; I was a little worried.”

Reynaldo seemed to have just remembered his phone, and he instinctively reached for his pocket, only to find it empty.

At this moment, Kimberly picked up a phone from the foot of the bed and said, “Reynaldo, your phone is here.”

Reynaldo took the phone without even looking at her.

He turned on his phone and indeed found many missed calls on it, most of which were made by me.

He frowned and said, “When did my phone go on silent mode?”

I glanced at Kimberly without leaving a trace and said, “Maybe you pressed the wrong button by accident.”

Reynaldo also glanced at Kimberly, his face showing no emotion.

He put away his phone, took my hand, and said, “Sorry for making you worry.”

I shook my head and looked at Mikaela on the bed, “What’s going on? How is Mom?”

Reynaldo pursed his lips and whispered, “The situation is not very good. Even though Mr. Palmer gave my mom a new kidney years ago, there have been some rejection reactions over the years.”

“I could perform surgery back then, so I must have also done a compatibility test, right?” I asked, puzzled.

Reynaldo said, “It’s done, but even if the matching is successful, there may still be some rejection reactions.”

After listening, I couldn’t help but think of my mother’s situation, and my heart felt heavy again.

“What about now? What did the doctor say?”

“Now the other kidney is infected, and the kidney Mr. Palmer switched to also won’t last long.”

The doctor’s advice was to “find a more suitable kidney source for the transplant surgery.”

I felt uncomfortable for a while in my heart, unexpectedly having to undergo a kidney transplant surgery just like my mom.

Finding a suitable kidney donor can be quite difficult.

Reynaldo’s forehead was marked with weariness, and there were bloodshot eyes in his eye sockets.

I asked him, “Have you eaten?”

He did not make a sound.

I sighed and said, “I’ll go buy you some food to bring up. No matter what, you need to take care of yourself.”

Reynaldo squeezed my hand and said, “Let’s go down together.”

I smiled at him and said, “Okay.”

Reynaldo looked at Kimberly again and said, “Could you please watch over here for a bit longer? My mom just woke up, and I need to call her.”

Kimberly didn’t say a word, her hand clenched tightly at her side, her eyes full of resentment.

Reynaldo seemed to have no energy to care about her emotions.

He was holding my hand and about to go out when Kimberly suddenly took a big step and stood in front of me.
