Chapter: 852

Lukas was stunned after hearing Joey's words and his eyes narrowed.

This kid was really something.

Joey rolled the toy car in his palm and then placed it on the floor.

As soon as he released his hold on the toy, it sped up and rushed forward, bumping into Lukas’ feet.

Lukas bent down and picked it up with a smile. He then raised his head to look at Joey. When he saw Joey's deep eyes staring back at him, it reminded him of someone stubborn, his memory gradually flashing in his mind.

“Let me tell you a story."

Joey's eyes blinked with curiousity and he silently waited for Lukas to begin.

Lukas walked toward the little child, handed him the toy car, and smiled. He reminisced a scene that had happened many years ago. He sat down next to Joey and spoke in a low but warm voice.

"Thirty years ago, there was a poor girl whose parents died when she was young and she was raised by her grandparents. But one day, the girl received a call from her grandmother, saying that her grandfather was gravely ill and needed an operation as soon as possible. It would cost a lot of money. At the time, the girl was still in college and worked part-time to cover her living expenses.

How could she come up with such a large sum of money to save her grandfather?"

Joey was confused. He couldn't figure out how this girl's story was related to Victor's, but he didn't interrupt. With his chin resting on his hand, he continued to listen.

"At that time, she read the news about selling kidneys, so she decided to sell her kidney and use the money to help her grandfather.

Fortunately, through the help of her friends, she found a buyer immediately. And this buyer was a young man from a wealthy and well

-known family. Because of a hereditary illness, the young man's kidney had always been in poor condition. As he grew older, one of his kidneys deteriorated to the point where he needed kidney transplant. At that time, the young man's mother met the girl and set up a meeting, and both of them were overjoyed. Soon, on the day of the appointed operation, the girl suddenly received a call from the hospital. The doctors said they failed to save her grandfather's life and he died."

Joey's eyes widened in shock as he processed the story.

“And then?"

Lukas fixed his gaze on Joey.

"Then the kidney transplant was canceled. With his family's background, the young man had little trouble finding a suitable kidney. Everyone assumed this situation would end this way, but no one expected the young man's condition to suddenly get worse. The young man's mother had no choice but to beg the girl to save her son. The girl and the young man were around the same age. She couldn't bear seeing the young man's mother begging for help. Besides, her grandmother was in her eighties. She thought that if she didn't have money, she wouldn't be able to save her grandmother if she became ill. As a result, she agreed."

Joey lowered his eyes and pouted.

“She's stupid..."

"Yes, she was a silly girl." Lukas nodded.

"However, that was the best option for her in that situation."

“Did the young man survive?"

Lukas smiled, “The girl stayed in the hospital to recover for a long time. The young man's mother specially arranged a VIP ward for her.

Back then, the rich young man was staying in the VIP room next to the girl. There was a time when the young man threw fits and drove everyone out of the ward. The girl happened to pass by and saw it.
