Chapter 205: Biological Father

"What?" Wendy wasn't able to process the words.Her mind went completely blank.

Standing in a daze, she looked at Leo's lips move, but there was no sound.

There was an annoying buzzing in her ears.

'Mentally prepared? What should I be mentally prepared for? Didn't Leo say that Ray would be fine as
long as his fever was gone?' Suddenly, Wendy felt dizzy.

Black spots were swimming before her eyes.She swayed, and her legs buckled.

"Wendy!" Ryan was shocked.

He quickly grabbed hold of her in order to prevent her from falling.He noticed that her eyes were
closed, and his heart filled with cold dread.

"Wendy! Wendy! Leo!" He turned to Leo.

"She has fainted due to anxiety.We need to get her to the hospital as well."

Leo wrapped Raymond in the quilt and carried him in his arms.

Ryan carried Wendy in his arms and strode out.

As soon they walked into the living room, Josie rushed out of Precious' bedroom with panic written all
over her face.

"Ryan! Leo! Precious' fever is back! What should we do?"

"Let's take her to the hospital as well!"



Finally, they all went together to the hospital.Wendy wasn't unconscious for long.She came back to her
senses before they could reach the hospital.

"Ray? Ray..."

"He's right here."

Wendy struggled to sit up from Ryan's arms.

The interior of the car was dark.

When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw Leo holding Raymond in his arms.Ryan took her
hand and guided it towards Raymond.

Subconsciously, Wendy grabbed Raymond's hand.

His hand was thin and small, and it was hot to touch.

Wendy's eyes turned red, and tears outlined her eyelashes.

How she wished that it was all a bad dream! But now she realized that it was just the beginning of her
nightmare.

Wendy held Raymond's hand tightly as if it was her lifeline.She leaned her head on the quilt as her
body started to tremble uncontrollably.

No one spoke a word.

The atmosphere was quite depressing in the car.

Once they reached Hopewell Hospital, they were met by a team of doctors and nurses.



Leo had called ahead and explained the situation.

Raymond was immediately wheeled in on a stretcher for a series of examinations.

Wendy was so worried that she automatically followed the doctor who was looking after Raymond.

Finally, the doctor came to a conclusion.

The buzzing was back in her head, and Wendy vaguely caught some of the words the doctor was
saying.

"Wound...Infected...Chemotherapy...Bone marrow transplant..."

"So you're saying that as long as we find the right bone marrow, he is likely to survive, right?"

The doctor nodded and said, "Yes, that is correct.So the most important thing right now is to find a
bone marrow donor.Ideally, any person related to him has a high chance of being a suitable donor.So
we would suggest that you call anybody related to him for the tests.As long as there is hope, we will try
our best."

Ryan frowned, and his mouth formed a thin line.

He made a prompt decision.He called Luke and said, "Get Ruben, Eris, and Oakley to the hospital right
now!"

"It's useless,"

Wendy murmured, her eyes lost focus.

"Ruben and Eris...I've already tested them.They don't match.My sister and I tried too.We also do not
match."



"Then Oakley! Get Oakley here!"

'Yes!Oakley!' Wendy blinked, and finally, there was some hope in her eyes.

It was like a flame before it would extinguish.

Desolate and bright.

However, the feeling of expectation lasted for less than half an hour.

Because Leo got the paternity test report from the doctor.

When Wendy read it, her last hope was trampled.

It was clearly written in the report that Oakley was excluded as the biological father of Raymond.

'Oakley is not Ray's father! That means Oakley was lying, ' Wendy thought with confusion clouding her
mind.

"So, Oakley is Ruben and Cacia's pawn to slander me.He was not the man who had slept with me four
years ago.Then, who and where is Ray's biological father?'

Wendy was desperate.

In the morning, Anson rushed to the hospital as soon as he got the news.He went to see Precious first.

Precious' temperature was gone, but she hadn't regained consciousness yet.

After seeing that she was okay, Anson asked about Raymond.

"How is Ray?"

"He's in the ICU."



Josie's eyes turned red.

Anson couldn't keep from scolding her.

"Josie, why did you do something like this?"

"I did not intend to hurt him.I just wanted to scare Wendy so that she would leave Ryan."

Anson was angry and worried.

Yesterday, he had gone to attend a party.

His friend's grandson had turned one month old.

But never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Josie would kidnap Raymond in his absence.

And by doing so, she had made a mess of things.A child's life was hanging in balance.

Anson paced back and forth in the ward.But, after a while, he couldn't take it anymore.His conscience
was not allowing him to.He started to walk out of the room.

"Honey, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Ray."

After hesitating for a while, Josie asked the nurse to watch over Precious.

She proceeded to follow her husband.

"I'll come with you."

Anson stopped and said, "No! You have already done too much damage.Wendy must hate you.You'll
be looking for trouble if appear before her.Wait for me here.I'll be back soon."



"No! I'll come with you.Anyway, this is all my fault."

It was true that she hated Wendy.But in her heart, she knew that Raymond was innocent.She felt
awfully guilty of what she had done.

Anson looked at her and hesitated.

"Okay, but don't talk too much."

"Okay."

Just as they were about to leave, Precious groaned.She then frowned and opened her eyes.

"Precious! You're awake!"

Josie and Anson rushed towards her.

"Grandma..."

"Yes darling, it's me.I'm here.Are you in any pain? Is your head still hurting?"

Precious shook her head.

All of a sudden, she remembered what had happened.Her eyes widened, and she sat up straight in her
bed.

"Where's Ray?"

“Where is he? Daddy promised that he would bring Ray back."

"He's here.He's in the hospital..."



She pushed Josie as tears rolled down her plump cheeks uncontrollably.

"Grandma! You are not nice! You hurt Ray.You are a bad grandma!"

"Precious..."

"I don't want to see you," she yelled and started to sob angrily.

Anson held Precious in his arms.

"Precious.Hush now, child.Don't worry.I'm here."

"Grandpa, I want to see Ray.I want to see him now!"

"But..."

"No buts! I want to see him!"

Anson sighed and said, "Okay.Your grandma and I were going to see him.We'll go together."

"Okay!"

Raymond was in the ICU, and no one was allowed to enter, including his family.So everyone was
waiting outside in the corridor.

They had stayed up all night, and it showed on their faces, especially Wendy's.She looked as if death
had washed over her, and she would faint again any moment.

"What did the experts say?"

Luke looked at Wendy and shook his head.



"Their diagnosis is the same as the doctors here.We can only give him chemotherapy for the time
being.We need to wait for the right bone marrow donor."

'The right bone marrow donor.Where do we find the right donor?' Everyone was lost in their thoughts.

At that moment, Roger suddenly straightened.

"Roger, what happened? What are you doing?"

There was a myriad of emotions on Roger's face.He looked intently at Ryan and said, "Ryan, only you
can save Ray!"

Ryan was stunned.

Everyone who heard Roger was stunned.They all looked at Roger with wide eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Roger?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Roger took a deep breath and finally spilled the secret that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Ryan, this is the truth.You are Ray's biological father!"
