Chapter 761 Chairman James
Coleman sat there numbly like an old monk for a long time before he spoke, "You don't have to say anything more. If you want to know something, just ask directly."
Yan Huai: "Why do you do this?"
Coleman: "Because I had no choice..."
Coleman lost his wife at an early age and raised his eldest son alone. He met his current wife Leah in middle age and re-entered the marriage hall. Leah is intellectual and elegant, and he likes her very much.
After they got married, they lived a very loving life. Not long after, Leah became pregnant. Routine prenatal checkups gave all the positive results, and Coleman was very much looking forward to the birth of his second child.
After the youngest son was born, he was found to be a rare Kidd negative. One month later, he began to have fever and hepatosplenomegaly, and was diagnosed with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL).
Coleman was almost in despair. He knew that stem cell donations of special blood types were extremely rare and the probability of a successful matching was almost impossible.
But Keller Hospital brought him good news, but the requirement was that he help with an operation.
Coleman knew very well that the liver donor for that operation was forced and deceived. She thought she was going to have a liver cancer removal operation, but he had no choice and he had to do it.
The operation was also recorded by KL's people and became a handle to control him.
After the operation, his youngest son successfully underwent a stem cell transplant and his condition stabilized.
Then, Leah confessed to him that she was from the Morenson family.
Morenson is the surname of the chairman and several directors of KL Group.
He has been tied to the KL Group since then.
He had imagined countless times the day when his behavior would be discovered, but now he was relatively calm. "Look... what a perfect trap. From the encounter, to the child's illness, to the 'life-saving straw'... everything is linked together. I have completely become a puppet locked deep in KL's medical system."
"So," Yan Huai's voice cut in coldly, without any sympathy, "someone at KL Group needed a new liver, and they chose my mother? A healthy, blood-type-matched 'living liver source bank'?"
Coleman closed his eyes in pain and acquiesced.
"What about the surgical plan?" Yan Huai asked, his tone leaving no room for evasion.
Coleman's voice was hoarse: "The plan...is to remove part of Mrs. Xie's liver during the operation and then secretly transfer it to Keller Hospital. Everything will be done perfectly."
Since the liver can regenerate, Mrs. Xie is old and her liver will not recover as quickly as that of a young person, but this can all be explained as the sequelae of a liver transplant.
“Does the Morensen family, who control the KL Group, really have a family FHL?”
Coleman nodded, then shook his head and said, "Leah said that there was no such thing before. Starting from the previous generation, her father had several brothers and sisters, three of whom were sick, including James, the current chairman of KL. Although her generation has paid special attention to genetic screening, four sick children were still born for various reasons. She was lucky not to get sick, but her children..."
The KL Group set a trap for Coleman and concealed Leah's identity, which resulted in them not doing targeted genetic screening. Alternatively, the KL Group hoped that Leah would give birth to a sick child in the hope of controlling Coleman.
"So who are we going to transplant my mother's liver to this time?"
"...James."
James underwent a stem cell transplant in his early years, but due to various complications and medication reasons, liver failure was inevitable, and his other organs also had some problems to varying degrees.
Due to his current physical condition, he is unable to undergo a second stem cell transplantation operation, and cannot survive the chemotherapy and myeloablation required before the stem cell transplantation. He can only undergo repairs.
Yan Huai: "Have you decided when to have the surgery?"
"According to the original plan, they are waiting for news from me in the next few days."
“Where are their surgeries taking place?”
"New York."
The flight time from Philadelphia to New York is about two hours.
"Then pretend that what happened today never happened. Tell them a date as promised, let's say the day after tomorrow."
Coleman saw through Yan Huai's intention and said, "They are very cautious and will wait until the liver arrives before performing the operation."
It is extremely unrealistic to let James die on the operating table.
"But what if something unexpected happens and the liver arrives late, missing the golden time?"
If there is a delay on the way and the surgery is done after the liver arrives and is checked, it is easy to miss the best time for liver transplantation, resulting in the liver source being unusable due to unqualified indicators.
In other words, if there is a delay on the way, the liver source may arrive on time, and the other party may not check it so carefully in order to transplant it as quickly as possible.
Coleman paused, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
Yan Huai said, "Do as I say."
After hesitating for a moment, Coleman nodded and said, "I can obey your orders, and I can also be your tainted witness and hand over all the hard evidence I know about KL Group's human experiments. In exchange, you need to ensure the safety of my family and not let them fall into KL's hands."
Yan Huai: "Deal."
"Can I ask a question?"
"what?"
"How did you find out all this?" Coleman asked.
Everything was fine before.
It seemed that a strange woman came this morning, who seemed to be Mrs. Xie’s biological daughter. In the afternoon, Yan Huai took Xie Shu away.
Yan Huai smiled and said, "I have to thank you for discovering that Ilia was not my mother's biological daughter. Coincidentally, my biological sister was investigating the matter and saw at a glance that there was something wrong with my mother's condition."
In order to make the play complete, he actually matched Xie Shu and Ilia Yanhuai.
If he was bolder, he could just fake it. Anyway, the livers of Yan Huai or Ilia would not be used during the operation.
Coleman: “…”
Yan Huai handed Coleman's phone over, "Call your wife back. She can't get in touch with you and might be worried. Do you know what to say?"
"..."
……
Wen Liang didn't receive the message from Yan Huai until the next day.
Just as she guessed, there was something wrong with the director of the sanatorium, Xie Shu's illness was fake, and he has now returned to the manor to recuperate.
Xie Shu and Old Wilson were particularly grateful to Wen Liang and invited him to visit their manor.
So, after leaving Professor Bob, Wen Liang went to Wilson Manor.
The car drove into Wilson Manor and stopped in front of the main building. The butler had been waiting at the door and respectfully opened the door for her.
"Miss Wen, the gentleman and the lady are waiting for you in the living room." The butler bowed slightly and led her in very respectfully.
The light in the living room was warm and bright. Xie Shu was wrapped in a soft cashmere shawl, half leaning on a comfortable recliner, and his complexion had recovered a lot.
Old Wilson was sitting on the armchair next to her, holding a document in his hand. When he saw Wen Liang come in, he immediately put the document down and stood up.
"Wenliang, you are here."
Xie Shu also sat up straighter immediately, a genuine smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Wen Liang eagerly: "Good boy, come and sit down!"
