Seeing Darcie so upset, Patricia said, “Can you help my friend, Young Master Henderson? Poppy is a charming and lovable child. She will only live for six months if she can’t find a suitable bone marrow donor.”
As she said those words, her eyes filled with tears.
“This is your problem; I really can’t do anything about it,” Percy said as he picked up his cup of tea and took a sip.
Darcie got to her feet and bowed to him as soon as it was apparent that he had turned down her request.
“I apologize for bothering you, Young Master Henderson.”
Then, she walked to the door in a daze while Patricia also got up.
She cast a quick glance at Percy before chasing after Darcie.
“Let’s think of something else, Darcie.”
Darcie sobbed in Patricia’s embrace after leaving Percy’s apartment. “I believed there was a glimmer of hope for Poppy. Now… I’m at a loss for what to do.”
Patricia was also furious, but she didn’t have the power to force Percy to perform the surgery.
“Darcie, the hospital should also be on the lookout for suitable bone marrow. There will undoubtedly be some suitable donors among the world’s population. Alternatively, you can contact Poppy’s father or any relatives on her father’s side. The likelihood of a suitable donor being related by blood is higher,” she added after some thoughts.
Darcie wiped away her tears as she heard this. Donating bone marrow was not something that could be forced. “All right, I’ll try to contact them.”
She was used to kneeling and begging for help, so she didn’t mind doing it again.
After that, they left the Coast Side Apartment.
Percy dialed Isaac’s number, and it took a long time for the call to be connected.
“What’s the matter?” Isaac’s tone was frosty and impatient.
“Are you in a bad mood without your personal secretary?” Percy burst out laughing.
He had been informed by Nikola that Isaac had transferred Patricia to his company, specifically his office. As a result, Isaac could see his personal secretary on a daily basis.
Isaac was sitting next to Adeline in the car at the time. She sprayed so much perfume that he almost choked on it.
“Don’t beat around the bush.” He was annoyed by the fragrance, which is why he vented on Percy.
Percy had a close relationship with him, so he was accustomed to it and didn’t mind Isaac’s mannerism.
“Ise, do you know who just dropped by my house?”
Isaac was completely uninterested and responded coldly, “I’m going to hang up. I’m busy.”
“Wait! It’s Patricia who came to my house.”
After Percy had finished speaking, he deliberately kept silent. Isaac, who was on the other end of the line, did not hang up after hearing his statements, which made Percy laugh.
“Haha… Aren’t you preoccupied? Go ahead and handle your business. We’ll talk after you’re done.”
Isaac’s face was pale because he had been exposed and he said, “I’m not really busy right now. I am free to speak.”
“Pfft…” Percy couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer. The only person who could get Isaac to stop doing anything was Patricia.
“Go on.” Isaac was clearly agitated, and he wanted to know what was going on as soon as possible.
“She and her friend came to beg me to donate bone marrow.”
“Bone marrow?” Isaac frowned.
Percy, of course, would disagree. His current condition prevented him or his body from being harmed in any way. Furthermore, his job was extremely dangerous; his life could be in danger at any time. As a result, he could only stay in good shape by maintaining good physical fitness.
“Yes, it’s the daughter of one of her friends, Darcie. Darcie looks pitiful. If I hadn’t… I almost agreed.”
“Well, I see. I’m hanging up,” Isaac replied.
The car was parked in the parking lot of Arnold Manor. Isaac led Adeline into the main building just as Old Mr. Arnold rolled his eyes when he saw the two of them at this point.
“What’s the matter, Phillip? Are you not feeling well again?” Old Mrs. Arnold exclaimed.
