Kaman Dorrance slowly turned to Matthew upon hearing this, "What did you say?"

Matthew glanced at the person in the crystal coffin and said to him with a heavy heart.

"I just helped her up and saw stitches around her heart. I cut the stitches and saw that her heart... was gone."

Kaman Dorrance didn't believe it, so he went closer to take a look.

He swayed immediately, and if it weren't for his cane supporting him, he would have almost lost his balance.

"Gu Siting, where did her heart go?"

No wonder the Gu family kept preventing them from taking her away; they were probably afraid they would discover that her heart had been removed.

Before Gu Siting and Madam Gu could speak, Ling Yan knelt down in front of Kaman Dorrance with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Uncle, Vivi's heart... was transplanted into me."

"Transplant it to you?" Kaman Dorrance coldly looked down at Ling Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, crying pitifully.

"Why should I give it to you? My daughter's heart... Why should I give it to you?"

Ling Yan sobbed uncontrollably as she spoke.

“I have a heart condition, and Vivi saved me time and time again. Without her heart transplant, I…”

Kaman Dorrance slowly lifted Ling Yan's chin with his cane, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

"She transplanted it into you?"

Ling Yan spoke, each word distinct and tearful.

"Weiwei was looking for a heart to donate to me, but she couldn't find one until after Weiwei's accident..."

Kaman Dorrance's gaze was as cold as ice, and his voice was chilling and intimidating.

"So, you took her heart and implanted it in your own body?"

Ling Yan trembled under the murderous gaze of Kaman Dorrance, and the words she had prepared vanished in his presence.

Madam Gu also became nervous and stepped forward to explain.

“Weiwei and Lingyan have always been best friends, like sisters. Weiwei has always hoped to cure Lingyan’s illness, so…”

She didn't want to speak up for Ling Yan, but if this matter were investigated, the Gu family wouldn't be able to escape responsibility either.

There is a Chinese saying: "Our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents."

Kaman Dorrance glanced at Madam Gu and Gu Siting, then looked coldly at Ling Yan, who was kneeling on the ground crying her eyes out. "Even if she's dead, none of you have the right to take anything from her."

“Ling Yan’s condition was very serious at the time. She would have died without a heart transplant…” Mrs. Gu explained.

“My daughter is dead, so why…” Kaman Dorrance slammed his cane on the ground, asking angrily, “Why should she be allowed to live on with Vivi’s heart? What is she anyway?”

Her only daughter died, and then someone removed her heart.

Even the news of her death was suppressed for several months before it reached his ears.

Ling Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled at the cold voice and lowered her head, crying even more bitterly.

Gu Siting was about to speak when Madam Gu stopped him.

Mrs. Gu explained gently, "Mr. Dorrance, Vivi had been trying to save her. After her accident, Ling Yan was also in critical condition, so they had no choice but to donate Vivi's heart..."

"No matter how unavoidable it may be, I cannot accept... my daughter being treated like this."

Karman Dorrance was filled with anger and grief, and was determined not to hear any more explanations.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I..."

"I don't need your apologies." Kaman Dorrance looked coldly at Ling Yan, who was crying uncontrollably, unmoved by her tears. "I only need you to give it back the way you took it!"
