Chapter 1271
After a pause, Harriet continued, “And I blame myself for not finding the truth early. As for Riley, if she had relied on me and told me the truth earlier, then maybe I could have saved her as soon as possible. I hope that from now on, she can trust me, and our relationship will never change!”
What she said was very touching enough to mislead others to believe that the relationship between her and Riley was sound.
However, Zephyr was not interested in Harriet’s acting. After the bodyguards drove the reporters away, he hurriedly got in the car with Harriet.
As soon as they got in the car, Zephyr said expressionlessly, “I have done what you asked. We will go to the hospital later, and you will have a check-up and prepare to transfuse your blood to Hendrick.”
Harriet’s face changed. “Are you telling me that all you have done is for Hendrick? Have you never cared about me?”
Zephyr said indifferently, “What are you talking about? You harmed your sister and used your son. Do you think I should care about such a bad woman?”
“So, you think I’m unforgivable, right?” asked Harriet.
Zephyr didn’t respond, as if he had completely ignored her. He just slowly closed his eyes and had a rest.
Seeing this, Harriet suddenly laughed, but the laughter was harsh. “Zephyr, you are so cruel to me and Riley. I’m afraid you’ve never fallen in love with anyone in your life. You only love yourself!”
Zephyr suddenly opened his eyes and said, “You’d better not mention this name in front of me, otherwise I will make you unable to say any word for the rest of your life.”
Harriet’s pupils suddenly shrank.”Aren’t you afraid that I refuse to transfuse my blood to Hendrick?”
“Since I’ve helped you, whether you will do that or not is not up to you. Even if you don’t want it, I can still achieve my goal,” said Zephyr calmly.
Harriet felt a chill. She always knew how cold-blooded this man was, but she had dreamed that he would fall in love with her one day.
In the past, she envied his tenderness and affection for Riley. But now she knew how ridiculous she was.
Perhaps all his love for someone was exhausted when he was with Riley. So, he had never cared about Harriet for these years.
They headed to the hospital. Harriet followed Zephyr out of the car and was forced to live in the VIP ward Zephyr prepared for her.
“You need to stay here for a few days. After the check-up, the hospital will arrange the operation for you and Hendrick. You are free to go wherever you want to go after that,” said Zephyr
Harriet pursed his red lips and listened quietly without raising any objection.
Then, a nurse presented some documents about the check-up and the operation to Harriet. She signed his name on them.
Soon, Harriet followed the nurse to do the check-up, while Zephyr left.
In the car, he pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, looking tired. A strong sense of fatigue filled him.
If he had to apologize to someone, it must be Riley. However, to save Hendrick, he had no choice.
Zephyr thought that Riley had failed him before. Therefore, he told himself that there was no need to feel sorry for Riley.
After returning to the Scott residence, Zephyr’s parents, Jeffery and Mariah came over and asked, “How is it? Will Harriet transfuse her blood to Hendrick?”
“She is doing a check-up in the hospital. Even if she refuses to do it, I could make her transfuse her blood to Hendrick,” said Zephyr.
Hearing this, Mariah finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she murmured, “She should have provided her blood to her son unconditionally! After Hendrick gets better, you must divorce her. Such an evil woman can’t be a member of our family!”,
Hearing this, Jeffery had no objection and obviously agreed with her.
He also felt it was dangerous to get along with Harriet. The Summer family was really disgusting. Since they were so shameless that they could frame their daughter, it was possible that they would harm others.
Zephyr’s father felt it was beneficial to end all relationships with the Summer family. It was better for Hendrick to stay away from his malicious mother.
“Can Hendrick be cured after the blood transfusion?” Mariah asked uneasily.
“According to the doctor, it is very likely that he can be cured. If transfusing into Harriet’s blood doesn’t work, I have no choice but to find another way. I will contact foreign doctors to see if there is any treatment plan,” said Zephyr.
Mariah cried and said, “What a poor boy! Harriet doesn’t deserve to be his mother at all. If she had transfused her blood to Hendrick earlier, he wouldn’t have suffered so much pain! Even Riley was willing to donate blood to Hendrick, but his mother…”
“Let’s stop talking about that.” Jeffery reminded her.
When they went to the hospital, they accidentally learned that in addition to the three medical staff in the hospital, there was another person who donated blood for Hendrick’s treatment, and it was Riley.
After knowing that Riley donated her blood to Hendrick, Jeffery and Mariah were shocked for a while.
Mariah seemed to realize something and didn’t continue.
Zephyr said indifferently, “Well, I’ll go back to my room and have a rest first.” Then he walked towards his room. However, after entering the room, he took off his clothes tiredly and walked into the bathroom, letting the warm water run down his exhausted body.
In the courtroom, he was just in the public gallery, but every second he spent there made him uneasy.
During this trial, Riley only looked at him a few times. She just cast Zephyr several cursory glances. He even hoped that she could look at him more times, but in the end, Riley paid little attention to him as if he had been invisible.
Zephyr lowered his head and gently brushed where his heart was with his fingers. Once, he pressed Riley’s hand firmly against his chest and said to her, “Riley, I will be yours forever. You’re the only one I love for the rest of my life. If you don’t love me, then my heart will die and never
