Chapter 220 Thankful for Him
When Martha heard his words, her eyes turned red as tears welled up in them.
Finally...
There was finally hope.
But she didn't know if Jimmy could pull through tonight.
Martha looked at the door of the emergency room. 'Jimmy, you have to pull through. Someone'shere to help...'
Rhys turned to look at Stefan and regained his indifference. The mixed feelings in his eyes just nowhad disappeared.
Rhys said without any emotion, "I have no interest in your money and properties of the Harrisonfamily. As for your life..."
If he wanted it, he would've had someone assassin Stefan long ago. He didn't need to wait untilnow.
Rhys made a deliberate pause.
Stefan remained calm with a frown, waiting for Rhys' following words.
No matter what Rhys' condition would be, he would agree to it without any hesitation.
He didn't know and didn't want to know why Rhys agreed to save Jimmy.
What mattered was that there was hope for Jimmy and he could do anything to get it.
Except for letting Martha marry Rhys.
Rhys smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "If I killed you, she would hate me for the rest of her life. It'snot worth it."novelbin
Trading Stefan's life for Martha's hatred wasn't worth it.
When Stefan heard this, there were complicated emotions in his eyes.
He glanced at the woman next to him and his eyes dimmed.
Would she hate Rhys if Rhys killed him?
She shouldn't.
She hated him to the guts and must wish he were dead.
But he'd rather have her hate him. It was better than her feeling nothing at all for him.
Thinking of this, Stefan smiled bitterly and felt worse inside.
He asked in a hoarse void, "So you want nothing?"
Rhys chuckled and his eyes were cold, "No. I want you to remember that you owe me a life."
"I want you to remember that the man you hate the most now is the one you should be the mostgrateful to."
'The man I hate the most is the one I am most grateful to.'
Stefan frowned.
He had mixed feelings. The man he hated was going to become his son's savior.
"It doesn't feel good, does it?"
Seeing Stefan's face darken, Rhys laughed out.
"This is more interesting than watching you die."
However, to Martha, the conversation between the two was...
Just an excuse.
Rhys said he wanted to take revenge, but he didn't want Stefan dead at all.
There was gentleness and relief in her eyes as she watched the two men in confrontation.
None of them knew that the relationship between them was starting to change.
Something was different. Rhys didn't want to kill Stefan probably because...
Stefan was his only family by blood in this world now.
For a man who had lacked love from his parents, nothing was more desirable to him than family'slove.
He hated the Harrison family, but at the same time, he wanted to be admitted into the family
It revealed his crave for family affection.
However, Rhys would never admit it. He would make up an excuse to cover his true desire. Forexample, he tried every means to humiliate Stefan.
Looking at Rhys, Stefan's eyes were deep.
Rhys cleared his throat and looked at the emergency room. He turned around and left withoutsaying anything more.
He had promised to save the boy. But it wasn't up to him whether the boy could survive tonight.
Stefan knitted his brows.
Rupert stood opposite him and had guessed what happened after hearing their conversation.
If Jimmy could pull through, everything was going to change.
He had always been a tough little guy. Rupert believed he could make it.
Half an hour later...
The operation light turned off and everyone was nervous, staring at the door.
The doctor walked out and Stefan and Martha immediately approached him.
Martha tried to keep up her spirits, fearing she might hear bad news. She clenched her fists andwas having butterflies in her stomach.
Stefan was the same. He asked in a low voice, "Doctor, how is Jimmy?"
The doctor took off the mask and panted with sweat all over. Then he smiled, "He survived anotherlife danger."
Martha closed her eyes.
The tears She had been holding back fell down her cheeks.
Jimmy lay in bed and was wheeled out by the nurses.
Martha stared at the little boy without blinking and followed behind.
She walked all the way to the ward and watched as the nurses wheeled Jimmy in. She staggeredand couldn't stand firm anymore. She was about to fall backwards.
Rupert was right behind her but he was one step late to hold her.
Stefan held her in his arms. She was so weak and thin.
He could tell she hadn't had much sleep for a long time from her pale face. And now she passedout.
Stefan felt extremely sorry and grabbed her hand.
Nothing was important but her and Jimmy's safety and health. He was willing to do anything to keepthem healthy.
