Chapter 761 Chairman James
Coleman sat there numbly like an old monk, and after a long while he finally 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 early in his life and raised his eldest son alone. He met his current wife Leah in his middle age and re-entered the marriage hall. Leah is intellectual and elegant, and he likes her very much.
After the two got married, they lived a very loving life. Not long after, Leah became pregnant. Routine prenatal checkups all went well, and Coleman was very much looking forward to the birth of his second child.
After the youngest son was born, he was diagnosed with the 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 that the liver donor for that operation was forced and deceived. She thought she was going to have a liver cancer removal surgery, but he had no other 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.
Morensen is the surname of the chairman and several directors of KL Group.
He has been tied to KL Group since then.
He had imagined countless times the day his actions would be discovered, but now he was relatively calm. "Look... what a perfect trap. From our encounter, to the child's illness, to the 'lifeline'... everything was linked together. I've become a complete puppet locked deep within KL's medical system."
"So," Yan Huai's voice cut in coldly, without a trace of sympathy, "someone at KL Group needed a new liver, and they chose my mother? A healthy, blood-type-matched 'living liver source'?"
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 cracked. "The plan...is to remove part of Mrs. Xie's liver during surgery and then secretly transfer it to Keller Hospital. Everything will be done perfectly."
Since the liver can regenerate, Mrs. Xie's liver will not recover as quickly as that of a young person because she is old, but this can all be explained as a sequelae of liver transplantation.
"Does the Morensen family, the controlling family of KL Group, really have a family history of FHL?"
Coleman nodded, then shook his head. "Leah said it didn't happen before. Her father had several siblings, three of whom were sick, including James, the current chairman of KL. And in her generation, even though they've paid extra attention to genetic screening, four children with the disease were still born for various reasons. Luckily, she didn't get the disease, but her children..."
KL Group set a trap for Coleman and concealed Leah's identity, which resulted in them not doing targeted genetic screening. Alternatively, KL Group hoped that Leah would give birth to a sick child in the hope of controlling Coleman.
"So who will my mother's liver be transplanted to this time?"
"...James."
James underwent a stem cell transplant in his early years, but due to various complications and medication reasons, he inevitably suffered liver failure, and his other organs also had some problems to varying degrees.
Due to his current physical condition, he cannot undergo a second stem cell transplant surgery and cannot survive the chemotherapy and myeloablation in the early stages of stem cell transplantation. He can only undergo repairs.
Yan Huai: "Have you decided when the surgery will be performed?"
"According to the original plan, they are waiting for news from me in the next few days."
“Where are their surgeries located?”
"New York."
The flight time from Philadelphia to New York is about two hours.
"Then pretend today's incident never happened. Tell them a date as promised, let's say the day after tomorrow."
Coleman understood 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 window?"
If there is a delay on the way and the surgery is done after the liver arrives and is inspected, 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 and the liver source arrives on time, the other party may not conduct a thorough examination in order to perform the transplant as quickly as possible.
Coleman paused, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
Yan Huai said, "Just 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 irrefutable evidence I know of KL Group's human experiments. In exchange, you need to ensure the safety of my family and prevent them from falling 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 seems 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 is not my mother's biological daughter. Coincidentally, my biological sister was investigating the matter and noticed 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. After all, Yan Huai's or Ilia's liver would not be used during the operation.
Coleman: “…”
Yan Huai handed Coleman's phone over and said, "Call your wife back. She can't reach you and might be worried. Do you know what to say?"
“…”
…
Wen Liang didn't receive news from Yan Huai until the next day.
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 expressed their special thanks 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 was already waiting at the door and respectfully opened the door for her.
"Miss Wen, the master 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, his complexion looking much better.
Old Wilson was sitting on the single sofa 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're here."
Xie Shu immediately sat up straighter, a genuine smile on his face, and eagerly extended his hand to Wen Liang: "Good boy, come and sit down!"
