Lucy’s eyes lit up. “That would be wonderful! Whoever it is should consider themselves lucky to be a match for you. But why would Adam step outside to talk about it?”
Carly frowned. “I don’t know.”
Out in the hallway, Leo said in a low voice, “Mr. Alvarez, we’ve found a matching heart for Ms. Carly.”
Adam’s eyes flickered with excitement. “Who’s the donor?”
Leo hesitated, his lips pressing together, reluctant to speak.
Adam frowned. “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Leo silently handed over the sealed file. “You should take a look.”
Adam tore open the envelope. The moment he saw the name inside, his eyes widened. Shock flashed across his face. “Celine?”
Leo nodded. “Yes, that’s right. Ms. Celine’s heart is a perfect match for Ms. Carly.”
Adam hadn’t thought it would be Celine. How could it be? He had been searching for a donor for Carly, knowing her condition was critical. However, he never expected the match to be Celine.
Leo lowered his voice. “Mr. Alvarez, what now? You wouldn’t actually make Celine give up her heart to save Carly, right? Still, without Celine, Carly won’t make it either. What should we do?”
Adam was faced with an impossible choice; he didn’t know whether to choose Carly over Celine. He smirked, then after a long silence, said, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Leo nodded. “Understood.”
When Adam returned to the room, Carly looked up at him and asked, “Adam, where did you go? Did you find a match for me?”
