Chapter 6 Steward, will you stop it?
The slap was so hard that Nora fell to the ground. And the well–prepared breakfast went to waste.
Steward shouted, “Why did you hurt Ann?!”
The slap was made in the same place as the last one a few days ago. Her face had quickly turned red and swollen,and her mouth was bleeding.
To her surprise,Nora didn’t feel a thing.
In the past, for her, it was the happiest thing to live together with Steward,seeing him have breakfast she made. But now, the pain he brought her made her numb.
She denied, “No,I didn’t hurt her.”
Steward grasped her wrist tightly as if he wanted to break it and then dragged her toward the gate.
He had been accustomed to walking in the darkness, so he could walk in the house without guidance. He dragged Nora like a lifeless doll, without any caring,
At that time, Leo had already been waiting outside the gate. He was, actually,not surprised by Steward’s rudeness but he still asked Nora politely, “Mrs. Mandel, do you need a new pair of shoes?”
Nora’s slippers were no longer on her feet,and she was standing barefoot on the stone path in the yard.
Steward yelled at her without patience,“Hurry!”
She shook her head to Leo and smiled, “Thank you for your kindness.“Then she went into the car.
She thought to herself that if Steward believed that torturing her would make him happy,then she would just accept that. At the hospital…
Ann was lying in the bed in the ICU,looking very pale.The doctor said seriously, “The patient’s waist has been hit by a huge impact,and the kidney damage has caused heavy bleeding.It is necessary to do the kidney surgery as soon as possible!”
On the way to the hospital, Steward had kept his cold face. And at the moment, he was extremely angry.He finally released Nora,and pushed her in front of the doctor. He said coldly and firmly “Her kidney might be a match for Ann!”
Nora gasped and started screaming, “Steward,will you stop it? How could you do this to me?”
Ignoring Nora’s sad face,he said without caring, “Yesterday, you pushed Ann down the stairs in the restaurant. It was all recorded by the security camera!”
“I NEVER pushed her!She must be lying!”
“Ann is still not out of danger now!Did she take her life to frame you?“Steward said and then turned to the doctor, “Use her kidney right now to save Ann!”
But the doctor shook his head and said, “Mr.Mandel, the kidney transplant operation could be successfully done only when Mrs. Mandel’s kidney matches for Ms Edith.”
Nora went to do the blood test and soon got the results.
“Great!Mrs.Mandel’s kidney matches!“the doctor said.
Steward asked in a delightful voice, “Please start the surgery right now!”
“No!“Nora took several steps back until there was no room for moving back. She leaned against the wall and shook her head,begging, “Steward, you have to believe me!I did not push her!I did not!”
At this time,Leo played the surveillance video where a woman,on the stairwell, pushed another woman down the stairs… Nora could not believe her eyes. The woman who pushed Ann in the video looked exactly like her. She wore the same clothes and the same haircut, and they were pretty much the same in height.
The waitress in the restaurant is the witness, so now what else can you say?“Steward sneered coldly.He really hated her for being such a vicious and stupid woman.
“The woman in the video was not me.She’s not…“Nora couldn’t understand the current situation and she started to have a headache.
“Did she really push Ann?“Nora thought, but she couldn’t think of anything about it.
She believed that she would never do this!
“It is my kidney,so I have the right not to give it to Ann. “Nora said.
“You have no choice, Nora. You should thank God that people can still be alive with only one kidney. You giving the kidney to Ann
benefits all.“Steward said.
After hearing this, Nora’s face turned pale,terribly pale.
But if human beings could not live with only one kidney,what would Steward do?Nora thought, “Maybe he would never care
about my life.”
Ignoring her refusal, Steward confined her to a ward and a few bodyguards were sent to guard it.The surgery was scheduled for
tomorrow.
Nora was quivering at the corner of the bed with her head in her hands. It was impossible for Steward to release her. But now she
had no phone and no one could help her.
At night, Ann pushed the door and left the ICU she was supposed to stay in.
