She looked up at me and said, "I had never seen him before, but I knew that he was the one who deceived my father. He threatened my father with this incident. At first, my father brought that girl home because she had a compatible heart to treat my illness. The girl was the same age as me. He told my father that I could have the operation after the girl died. My father agreed because he thought she had an incurable illness. However, my condition was deteriorating quickly and I couldn't hold on for any longer. So, he told him the truth and then suddenly raised the price. Originally, he only asked for three million dollars, but in the end, he asked for ten times more. My father had no choice but to embezzle the company's fund, which is why he ended up in prison. It was all Sebastian's fault. He's not a good person, so you really have to be careful of him!"
I froze after hearing that. Then, I looked at her and asked, "Is that child really dead?"
She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes red. She nodded and replied, "Yes, my father said that he buried her, but..."
The remainder of her sentence was suppressed by her sobs.
I didn't continue asking. Did the children who never returned to their village end up like this too?
Wendy's words made me realize that what Sebastian was going to do might not be as simple as I thought. Thinking of this, I called Bobbie after I walked out of the ward.
He picked up the phone very soon and said in a hoarse and crude voice, "Hello, what's the matter?"
"Abby's examination results are out. I have a few questions, if we would like to proceed with the operation, she must have an ID card and birth registration, as well as her parents' signatures. How are you going to take care of these?" Wendy told me that illegal surgeries couldn't be done in the hospital, so I wondered how they intended to get around this.
