Chapter 5
My mentor pushed up his glasses.
“Uh…”
He considered his words carefully, choosing the most diplomatic approach.
“This is an important test result. The hospital can’t afford to make a mistake.”
Before he could finish, Henry grew furious.
“If you’re so concerned about mistakes, why are you letting South change the results? You’d better give me a satisfactory explanation, or I’ll sue your department!”
I entered the scene just in time to witness this
Henry charged toward me, but my mentor quickly got up, yanked him away, and shouted, “Call security!”
Yuna quickly forced a smile.
“Doctor, my brother is just very upset. Please help me fix the results. We won’t blame South for the changes. I’m just really anxious; my flight’s at 11 PM.”
My mentor frowned and looked at me.
“Didn’t you tell her about the results in advance?”
I crossed my arms.
“I left the test report with them, but it looks like they didn’t look at it.”
Yuna’s smile instantly froze.
My colleagues, now gathered around me, protectively patted my stomach and whispered,
“After everything they’ve done to you, you’re still wondering whether you should donate bone marrow to them.”
“You must be a reincarnation of a bodhisattva. Why would you risk your life to save someone so heartless?”

Yuna stumbled back and collapsed into a chair.
Only Henry remained angrily ranting.
“Well, South, you’re even using your colleagues to deceive us. Just wait, your whole department is going down, everyone is going to be held accountable.”
His threats were ignored by everyone in the office.
Because Yuna was now clutching her nose, which was bleeding.
One drop.
wo drops.
Quietly falling onto her pristine white dress.
Yuna completely panicked.
Her eyes went red with fear and anger as she tried to cover the bloodstains on her dress.
She looked up at me in horror and fury.
“It’s you! You did this!”
No one responded.
Everyone’s gaze towards her held a trace of sympathy.
And that was when she completely broke down, tears streaming down her face.
Security was called in to drag her out of the office.
Yuna didn’t make it to the overseas tour.
Her family spent the following days rushing to arrange tests.
Without a doubt, the results were confirmed.
And only then did they realize the full extent of what they had done.
The day they found the test report,
Mom called me.

When the phone picked up, her crying voice came through, sharp and sudden.
South, you did this on purpose!”
“They always said you had a dark mind, but I didn’t believe it. Now I finally see it.”
“You deliberately provoked us, trying to sever our relationship with you. You don’t want to save your
sister!”
At that moment, she no longer thought that only I could save Yuna.
Because with their financial and human resources, they were confident in curing her.
she dropped the act and ruthlessly scolded me.
I silently hung up the phone and blocked her number.
In the end, they turned to my mentor again, the most authoritative figure they could find.
The next time we met was at the hospital.
Yuna had been admitted.
Sean grasped the mentor’s hand and said boldly that no matter how much it cost, he would do
anything to cure his daughter.
He asked the mentor to skip the line for a bone marrow test, offering a bribe that was much larger than the one he had given me that day.
The mentor, helpless, returned the bribe and told them that there v…s currently no suitable donor and they could only proceed with conservative treatment.
He then suggested that they organize family and friends willing to donate bone marrow to get tested,
to see if a match could be found.
Sean eagerly extended his arm.
“Test mine. It’s my own daughter; I’m sure I’m a match. I’ll donate.”
The mentor glanced silently at me.
Sean followed his gaze and awkwardly pressed his fist to his lips upon seeing me.
Hipped through the folder and began to read the potential risks of bone marrow donation, as was
putine.
After finishing, I looked at Sean steadily.
“Given how risky bone marrow donation is, are you still willing to go through with it?”
“Do you want to lose your wife as well, after donating?”
Sean’s face flushed.
But he still stubbornly turned his face away.
“I’ll donate!”
I sarcastically tugged at the corner of my mouth, then directed my gaze to the East family standing
behind him–Yuna and her mother.
Yuna was the one who was unashamed.
“No need to talk further, I’ll donate.”
“There’s no helping it, I’m double–standard like this. Of course, you can’t compare with my sister
here.”
“Are you in too?” I asked my mother.
