Chapter 153 Fake Death to Hide the Truth
A moment later, Stefan's eyes showed that he seemed to have made up his mind. Finally, he gavein. He knew that if he continued to argue with Martha now, she would mistake him even more. And he also knew that Martha asked him to have a bone marrow match first because she wasafraid that he was unwilling to save their child. But would he say no to saving his child? Definitely not. He would do anything to save Jimmy, even ifit took his life.It was a pity that Martha no longer trusted him. When he thought of it, his eyes became more determined. Then he said, "Okay." He would grant her request if his blood test would relieve her. Martha was surprised at his consent. Stefan, once haughty, was now willing to make concessions. Was he still the arrogant andobnoxious man he used to be? Perhaps, he just wanted to offset his guilt and make himself feel better. Since Stefan agreed to take the blood test, things went smoothly as expected. The three wenttogether to a phlebotomy room. Soon, a doctor drew Stefan's blood and spoke to him, "Take a good rest. The result will come in aweek." Stefan frowned slightly and asked, "Can it be faster?" The doctor looked at him and replied rigorously, "At least three days." As Martha heard that, her eyelids drooped; her face changed slightly. That meant they had to know it in three days. Martha wished it would be a good outcome this time. Martha concealed her concern in her eyes and slightly clenched her fists. Rupert, standing beside her, sensed her concern. He patted her on the shoulder and said softly,"Don't worry. Three days soon pass." Stefan noticed Rupert's movement, and looked at him with a cold look in his eyes. However, Rupertnovelbin
ignored him, as if Stefan was not there. Martha did not give him a glance all the way; she only looked at Rupert and nodded. "Well." Martha responded softly and turned to leave the room first. Jimmy was left alone in the ward, and she was so worried about him that she wanted to get back tohim. After Martha left, Rupert nodded to the doctor and said, "I will come to get the result then." "Great." Rupert got the reply and left. Stefan looked sullen. His eyes were full of obscure emotion. He followed Rupert and left the drawing blood room. Looking at Rupert's back, Stefan suddenly called out to him- "Rupert." Rupert stopped at the sound and remained put. He did not think he needed to speak to Stefan, but, perhaps, Stefan wanted to learn something,especially about Jimmy. He had taken care of Jimmy for four years in U Country. Nobody would know Jimmy better thanRupert did. If Stefan wanted to have a talk with him about Jimmy, he would like to tell Stefan about it. After all,Stefan was Jimmy's real father, let alone he was the last person who could save Jimmy. Rupert, who had not heard from Stefan for some time, could not help frowning. "What's up?" Stefan looked more sullen. He clenched his fists tightly and asked in a low voice, "How did youbring Martha away?" It was not hard to hear the faint anger in his tone. Stefan did feel angry, for he would not have been absent from Martha's life so long had it not beenfor Rupert's taking her away. He did not even know anything about their baby.
Rupert was slightly taken aback by his words; He did not seem to expect such a question. Still, Stefan had no right to be angry, did he? Soon, Rupert gave his answer- "At that time, when I arrived at the operation room, the doctor who was bribed by Hollie was aboutto inject a lethal dose of medication to Martha. Fortunately, I stopped him in time. However, Marthahas been at the last gasp." "How did you know she might die there?" Stefan's heart ached at that. He walked in front of Rupert and stared at him decisively. He mustknow all about Martha that he did not know before. Hollie's plan was so perfect. How could Rupert know that Martha was in danger? And four years ago, he saw Martha's dead body with his own eyes... She was cold, not breathing. It was impossible that Rupert could bring her back to life. Stefan was sure that there must be something that he did not know. Rupert sneered at the man who stood before him with an anxious expression. "Because Martha had anticipated it when she was hospitalized. She asked me to get herdischarged early, but it was too late. Before I took her away, she had been sent to the operatingtable by you... At that time, I had her sedated without hesitation." "It would stabilize her blood pressure and heart rate in extremis. When her body gets weak to someextent, it will be put into a state of suspended animation... Thus, I made a play-dead game." Play dead... Stefan had a moment of enlightenment. The truth came out. So, Martha was not dead at the time. She was still alive but without vital signs. "After you saw her 'dead body', I went to the hospital and took her away. In fact, I transferred her toa prearranged hospital and made her survive." As Rupert finished, the scenes of four years ago emerged in Stefan's mind. In retrospect, since leaving the hospital, he had met Rupert again at Martha's gravestone. He had never doubted if Martha's body had been cremated, and had never thought that there wassomething wrong.
If Rupert had not taken Martha away, he would not have missed her for so many years, and theywould not have been in such a bad relationship, right? Stefan grew angrier at the thought of it. He strode forward and seized Rupert by the collar. Hisquestioning sounded in the corridor- "Why did you do that? You know what? Because of you, Martha and I missed each other for fouryears!" Rupert's lips curled in a sneer, as if he had just heard an ungodly joke. "If I hadn't, she would have been killed by you!" "You didn't trust her at all four years ago. She stood no chance to survive." "Even if she fortunately escaped the doom in the operation room, what was the next? Hollie wouldcontinue scheme to put Martha to death, wouldn't she?" Stefan's pupils constricted. At that moment, he lost all his strength. He loosened his grip, and failed to utter a word. Rupert was right. If Martha hadn't been taken away, she would have died four years ago... Now, he had no right to reproach Rupert.
