Caden Lockwood’s mother has heart disease, and she is particularly rare blood type, the panda blood. More than a decade ago, she already had a heart transplant, but one heart couldn’t grant her a long life.
If a suitable heart match isn’t found for another transplant, his mother might soon pass away and leave this world.
Therefore, ever since his mother successfully had the first heart transplanted, Caden Lockwood has been helping to find a suitable heart.
Yvonne Rhodes and Evelyn Morgan were the suitable candidates he found.
But he never considered using Evelyn Morgan as a heart donor because she is very healthy.
Making a healthy person lose their heart is simply taking her life.
Yvonne Rhodes, however, was different. She was already ill and wouldn’t live long anyway; he spent money to maintain her life, hoping that when she eventually passed away, she could donate her heart to extend his mother’s life.
But unexpectedly, Yvonne Rhodes fell in love with him.
She agreed to donate her heart, but demanded to become Caden Lockwood’s wife.
Having already fallen in love with Evelyn Morgan, Caden Lockwood naturally refused this condition. Unexpectedly, Yvonne Rhodes couldn’t accept it and directly jumped off a building.
Therefore, when Caden Lockwood saw Yvonne Rhodes die on the spot after jumping, he felt both responsible and guilty.
At the same time, he was also afraid that his mother might do something to Evelyn Morgan in order to survive, that’s why he was so devastated.
Though his relationship with his father was not good, his mother always treated him very well.
He didn’t want his mother to die and at the same time, he couldn’t let Evelyn Morgan die.
Now, Caden Lockwood is stuck in this dilemma, unable to get a good night’s sleep.
"What?" Seeing Caden Lockwood not speaking, L continued, "Are you planning to make Jessica Rhodes or me donate a heart? Ha! Caden Lockwood, why is your mother’s life so precious?"
"I’ve never thought of using a normal person’s heart to save my mother’s life!" Caden Lockwood finally spoke, "Whether you believe it or not, back then, I did approach her with a purpose, but when I saw her helpless expression, I didn’t want her to have an accident, that’s why I adopted..."
"I’m sick of your pretentious act!" L interrupted Caden Lockwood, "Do you think if I tell Evelyn, she’ll believe you didn’t get close to her for her heart?"
Upon hearing this, Caden Lockwood’s face turned as dark as if stained with ink.
Staring at L’s Monkey King mask, Caden Lockwood was rendered speechless again.
He knew Evelyn Morgan wouldn’t believe him.
No matter what he says, she wouldn’t believe him!
So, he kept it from her all along, not wanting her to know any of this.
He never wanted to hurt her.
Never, ever!
"This kind of practice of extending one’s life at the expense of others’ is something I’ve only seen with The Lockwood Family!" L sighed, "Caden Lockwood, is this what you call buying life with money?"
"I’ve said it before." Caden Lockwood enunciated each word, "I will absolutely not use Evelyn’s heart to save my mother’s life!"
"Too fake." L shook his head, not believing a word Caden Lockwood said, "Do you believe it yourself? Would you be so kind as to purely adopt Evelyn?"
Caden Lockwood didn’t say anything. Anyway, L didn’t believe him, and was filled with repulsion and hatred towards him; whatever he said was almost useless.
"Caden Lockwood, if you don’t sensibly leave Evelyn, I guarantee I’ll reveal to her your true intentions for getting close to her!" L threatened, "And also, there’s a blood feud between our two families!"
