GoodNovelChapter 1122:
The doctor shook his head regretfully. “Mr. Hampton, you need to find a solution quickly.”
Corey’s mind reeled. He felt as though death had sneaked around, its icy blade poised at Gemma's throat. He
needed to find a solution, but he had none. Even if Alicia were willing to sacrifice her heart, he couldn't accept it.
While he might not be a good person, he couldn't bring himself to hurt someone who had shown him kindness.
Reflecting on the situation, it felt like his retribution was catching up to him. And it was swift.
On the hospital bed, Gemma lay quietly, frail and slight. Two tears traced paths from the corners of her eyes,
vanishing into her hair.
In his desperate quest to accelerate the chip development, Corey sought out Dorian, prepared to acquiesce to
any demand—even if it meant pleading with Alicia to return to her family.

Though Corey refused to accept this cruel reality, helplessness drove him away from the hospital, his spirit in

grief.
Hope flickered faintly. Corey recalled sothers in the country who shared Gemma'’s blood type. Even if they
were more challenging to deal with than Caden, he resolved to give it a try.
After confirming their locations, Corey booked a flight for the following week. Without hesitation, he dialed
Alicia’s number.
Yet, Caden’s languid voice drifted through the line. “What is it this time?”
Though connected by phone, an ocean of difference separated them—Corey in his solitude, Caden basking in
contentment.
“I want Gemma to stay at your place for a month,” Corey said softly. “Is that okay?”
Caden, holding Alicia close, responded with measured calm, “So, Gemma stays at my place, and you get an
excuse to cover and see Alicia every day, right?”
Corey explained, “I won't disturb you. | just want Alicia to spend stwith her.”
Detecting the strain in Corey's voice, Caden fell silent for a few moments before agreeing. “I'll send someone to
pick her up.”
