Chapter 210: Identities Exposed
Late in the night, inside one of the rooms, a woman had gone mad, shouting at everyone in sight.
"I told you I don’t want to be treated! I don’t care if you’ve got the bone marrow. I’m not stepping out of this room!" she yelled, glaring at the doctors and the tall man standing in front of her, who remained unfazed.
"You’ve been saying the same thing every day, and I’ve been listening," the man said calmly. "But you know nothing’s going to change. You can keep repeating it; we don’t mind. Now listen to the doctors and cooperate with the tests. Tomorrow, you have a bone marrow transplant procedure."
"I am not cooperating!" she retorted angrily, taking a step toward him. "Aiden Shaw, stop using my last name and get the hell out of here!"
"Then tell me what last name I should use," he replied calmly.
"You—" Before she could finish, her legs gave out, and she began to collapse. Aiden swiftly caught her in his arms, her weak body barely standing with his support.
"Even your body knows it’s time to stop," Aiden said. "I told you, everything happens the way I want it to. You should be thankful I’m keeping you awake. I could just as easily ask the doctors to keep you sedated until all of this is over, and we’re back."
She breathed heavily, clutching at his chest, her trembling hand scratching at his shirt as if wanting to dug out his skin with what little strength she had left. "Why... don’t you let me be?" she whispered hoarsely. "I... hate... you..."
"I know that well. You can rest assured," he replied, lifting her effortlessly and placing her into the wheelchair. Turning to the doctors, he said, "She’s lost all her strength. Just go ahead with what needs to be done. She won’t be able to resist or throw anymore tantrums."
