As Angela stepped out of the doorway, her eyes caught Jonathan's figure lingering outside.
Picking up her pace, she greeted him with a smile. "Why aren't you waiting at the hotel?"
Across from the examination hall, where they had all gathered earlier, a nearby hotel had been their morning refuge. Angela had ventured into the exam hall, leaving Jonathan with the rest of the group.
"I just came down." Jonathan clasped her hand warmly, his gaze filled with warmth as he asked, "What are you in the mood for?"
Nearby, Yarrison touched his nose as he observed the exchange, his attention briefly shifting to Oliver, who was skilled at being one with the wall. Yarrison couldn't help but wonder, Oliver has been following Jonathan and Angela for a while now. I have no idea what other benefits he has, but he definitely is on his way to getting diabetes.

"Anything is fine," Angela replied as she wasn't picky about food. Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Yaxley should be joining us soon. Shall we wait and dine together?"
Jonathan nodded in agreement, his demeanor as amiable as ever.
"Yarrison, you're here too." Angela turned her attention to Yarrison, her smile genuine.
Returning the smile, Yarrison replied, "Yes, indeed. I had a few errands to take care of."

Jonathan's glance at Yarrison triggered a memory of the two police officers stationed at the hotel.
"The police found drugs in Kaydron's car and claimed that you were the one who provided them. Therefore, two police officers have arrived to investigate, and we need to cooperate with them," Jonathan briefed Angela on the urgent situation concisely.
Angela's reaction was swift and intense. "What?" She was taken aback by Kaydron's audacity. Not only had he thwarted their plans earlier, but now he was trying to implicate her in a serious drug-related
matter.
However, Angela quickly reasoned that without evidence, Kaydron's accusations would carry little weight. "It's likely that Florence instructed Fanny to do it," Jonathan speculated, sharing his suspicions with Angela.
Feeling responsible for implicating Angela in this matter, he felt the need to explain it to her.
Understanding the gravity of the situation and appreciating Jonathan's need to inform her, Angela nodded in acknowledgment. Before she could respond further, Yaxley came into view, prompting her to ask, "Should I finish my meal before cooperating?"
Jonathan agreed, confirming, "I've already talked to him. We'll see them after we finish eating."
Assured by Jonathan's guidance, Angela nodded in agreement and turned her attention to Yaxley, who had just emerged from the gate. "Yaxley! Over here," she called out, signaling him to join them.

Yaxley acknowledged Angela's call and joined the group as they gathered.
With everyone assembled, they exchanged a few words before proceeding to the other side.

On this side, where the examination hall stood desolate, the opposite was teeming with restaurants and hotels, offering ample choices for lunch.
As the group savored their meal, Fanny meticulously reviewed the plan with James one last time, ensuring every detail was in place before relaying it to Christopher.
With everything confirmed, James departed to purchase the plane tickets, leaving Fanny with a sense of satisfaction.

Florence had upheld her end of the bargain, ensuring the compromising photos were entirely erased.
With no leverage remaining, neither Florence nor Kaydron could threaten Fanny upon her return to Riverdon.
Just as James departed to secure the tickets, Zacharias approached Fanny, his troubled expression evident even from a distance. "Fanny."
As Zacharias entered the room, he closed the door behind him, prompting Fanny's mind to race back to the compatibility test they had undergone the
previous day.
She remembered the doctor's words about the results being available today, and the anticipation of potentially finding a suitable kidney surged within her.

Yet, Fanny knew she had to temper her emotions and tried her best to mask it. Even if Zacharias brought news of a match, she couldn't afford to appear too
eager or hopeful.
The possibility of a successful transplant couldn't overshadow the need for composure since there was a chance Zacharias could have a change of mind
before the transplant.
She didn't want to lose out on something minor like this.
After her internal words, Fanny greeted Zacharias calmly, "What's wrong,
Zacharias?"
As the words escaped her lips, Zacharias was consumed by a wave of guilt. The morning had been spent grappling with conflicting emotions, torn between remorse for his family and regret for not trusting them sooner.
However, his foremost concern lay with Fanny.
Despite Joseph already informing her of the initial failed match, Zacharias had
subtly hinted at the possibility of an error, inadvertently sparking hope in Fanny's
heart.
Now, just a day later, he found himself tasked with crushing that hope. It was a daunting prospect, fully aware of the pain he was about to cause. Nevertheless, Zacharias understood the necessity of confronting the truth head-on.
"Fanny, the matching results are in," he finally uttered, his grip on the wheelchair's armrest betraying the turmoil within him. Each word was measured, an attempt to maintain his composure amidst the storm of emotions raging
inside.

Fanny's eyes lit up almost instantly at the mention of the match, but she quickly masked her excitement, lowering her eyelashes to conceal her emotions. "Zacharias, is the result the same as before?" Fanny asked, her tone laced with
feigned anticipation and concern. "It would be best if it's the same as before, Zacharias. You're weak; you shouldn't donate a kidney to me."
Zacharias felt another pang in his heart, touched by Fanny's selfless worry for him. With a nod, he replied, "Yes."
But Fanny was taken aback, momentarily stunned into silence. She raised her head to gaze at Zacharias with wide eyes, as if searching for any hint of
deception in his words.
Did I mishear? Am I hallucinating? Shouldn't he be answering no? Seeing Fanny lost in disbelief, Zacharias continued, "I apologize, Fanny. I misspoke earlier. The result this time is the same as before. It's not a match."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently clasped Fanny's hand, offering what little comfort he could.
To Fanny, it felt as though she had just heard the cruelest joke from the depths of
hell.
After a moment, she forced out a slightly embarrassed smile. "Zacharias, there's
no need to apologize. It's for the best that the match failed. Even if it had
succeeded, I wouldn't accept your kidney."
At this, Zacharias simply shook his head with a sigh.

"I owe you an apology, Fanny. When I return to Riverdon, I will do everything in
my power to find a kidney donor for you."
The little glimmer of hope in Fanny's heart had vanished, especially now that
Zacharias dropped the bombshell on her. She felt a bit lightheaded. Experiencing both physical and emotional discomfort, she didn't bother to maintain her facade, opting instead to lower her head and express her gratitude casually. "Thank you, Zacharias."
Observing her sadness, Zacharias chose to say nothing further and left..
