A shadow appeared in front of Eddy, demanding his attention. He slowly raised his head, sadness
lining his eyes.
Anne gazed at him from above, shocked at his reaction.
Having gone through so much, Eddy was now more mature than an adult. Knowing that Bob's heart
would be put inside his chest made him anxious.
With a downcast expression, Anne stretched her hand towards him. Holding her hand, he was guided
towards his room.
As he settled down on the bed, Anne crouched in front of him, looking into his eyes. He stared back,
unmoving. All of a sudden, his eyes started to water, and tears slowly spilled down his cheeks.
"Mom. If it weren't for me, would Bob have died? Do you think I'm cursed? Otherwise… I wouldn't get
sick all the time! Why am I always troubling you?" Eddy choked through his sobs.
Anne bit her lip as her heart stung at his words. She tightened her arms around him, shaking her head.
"Where did you hear these words? How could you think this? You are my life, our treasure! How could
you be cursed?"
"Then why am I always sick? I've been causing you trouble and involving Bob in this mess." His small
figure clung onto Anne's, trembling between sobs.
"Eddy, how can you think so? You inherited the blood disease. If you want to blame anyone, blame us!
It's our fault, it has nothing to do with you!
Besides, it's a very rare illness, which makes you special as compared to others!
When you met Bob, he was already in a critical condition. He couldn't have lived any longer. It had
nothing to do with you. How could you think it was your fault?"
Eddy blinked, his eyes red and swollen. He looked at her and thought for a while, then asked, "Are you
telling the truth?"
Anne had no choice but to nod. "When have I ever lied to you? What I said is completely true!"
Eddy threw himself at her, putting his arms around her neck, and burst into tears.
He didn't want to get sick, he didn't want Bob's heart and he certainly didn't want to cause his family so
much trouble!
"Eddy, listen to me carefully. He is indeed not with us anymore, but if his heart gets replaced in your
chest, he will live on through you. Your life will not only be yours but also Bob's. You should live a
wonderful life for both yourself and him. This is the only way you can make him happy in heaven,
right?" Anne gently rubbed his shoulder, coaxing him in a soft voice.
He tilted his head, lost in thought at her words. After a long pause, he nodded and spoke in a serious
tone. "Mom, you're right. After I take Bob's heart, I won't be alone anymore, I'll have him with me!"
His words stunned Anne as she stared at him in awe.
She mumbled an encouraging reply, but couldn't remember what she had said. Eddy's words were still
playing in her mind.
It was easy for everyone to understand. If Eddy's heart was Bob's, didn't hat mean Bob's spirit would
still live on with Eddy…
Looking at her lost expression, Kevin couldn't help but step forward and touch her shoulder. He
whispered, "Your face is so pale. What's the matter?"
He took out a phone and placed it in Anne's pocket. Back at the hospital, she had been so anxious that
she had smashed her phone.
Slowly raising her head and looking at Kevin, Anne frowned as she said, "If Eddy accepts Bob's heart,
he will never be alone anymore. He will live with Bob!"
Kevin raised his eyebrows, nodding slightly. To a certain extent, that was true.
What are you trying to say? He asked in a gentle voice.
"Bob's parents are extremely sad. Although his mother didn't have a miscarriage, her situation is not
hopeful. Do you think we could take Eddy there?" she questioned. She felt that it was their fault in this
matter, making her feel guilty.
They had inescapable accountability for Bob's early death. Not to mention his eagerness to help and
give his heart to Eddy.
A single thought kept repeating inside Anne's mind. 'If Bob hadn't made the decision, his parents would
have never agreed to donate his organs!'
The resentment and startling madness in his father's eyes made it very clear to Anne that they wanted
to see her suffer!
"We can try." After a moment of silence, Kevin said weakly, "Any kind of excitement wouldn't be good
for Bob's mother, now that she's pregnant. We'd better discuss it with his father."
That had been Anne's exact thought. Selma was going upstairs when she heard them talking. She
snorted and said, "We offered them financial support but they didn't accept it. They even insulted us.
Now, why would you let my grandson be humiliated by them?"
Selma stomped upstairs, not waiting for their reply.
Looking at each other, Anne and Kevin shook their heads and sighed, not taking her seriously.
After they had informed Eddy, he was sensible enough to agree to be respectful towards Bob's parents.
Since he was the one getting their son's heart.
Anne was relieved to hear this. Eddy had always been so considerate.
At the hospital, she asked a nurse to inform Bob's father of their arrival.
His parents were penniless now but still needed to stay at the hospital. Sam had wanted to help them,
but Anne and Kevin wouldn't let a man facing a lawsuit pay for Bob's parents. Therefore, it was Kevin
who was supporting them financially.
The parents were aware of this, but as soon as they thought about Bob's death, they couldn't forgive
Kevin and Anne.
The father was confused after the nurse informed him of their arrival. Following the nurse out, he
looked around to find no one outside.
"Sir!" A young voice caught his attention from behind.
Bob's father turned around to find Eddy. He hadn't expected to see him at all!
Eddy stared wide-eyed at him. The father was stunned, a slight frown on his face.
'If it weren't for this child, Anne and Kevin wouldn't have brought so much misfortune for us and Bob
would still be here!
This child is the root of all our problems!
Yet...'
Bob's father stood frozen in one place, his hands trembling on his side. His hair was a dazzling white
color, sticking out in random directions.
"Sir, although I haven't had the operation yet, I know Bob has given me his heart. Because of him, I will
not be alone anymore but have him live on within me!" Eddy stepped forward and gently held onto the
fingers of Bob's father. There was a rush of mixed feelings as he felt the boy's soft hand.
A sharp pain cut right through him and he closed his eyes, being reminded of how Bob used to hold his
hand.
It was such a familiar and unforgettable feeling. It felt like a dream!
"Although Bob is gone, I promise to take good care of you two since I have his heart."
As soon as his childish voice reached his ears, Bob's father opened his eyes with a complicated look
on his face.
Eddy looked up at him through his lashes. His lower lip trembled as he spoke, his voice breaking.
"Mom told me that even though Bob is gone, putting his heart in my body will allow me to live for him!"
Before he could finish his words, Bob's father was on his knees, tightly holding him in his arms. He held
him tightly, rubbing his back.
As he closed his eyes shut, tears rolled down his cheeks.
He thought to himself, 'Bob is indeed not with us anymore, but giving his heart to this little boy will allow
his spirit to live on!'
The heart was the source of a person's life. It was ironic that despite his death, Bob could stay alive
through Eddy.
In the distance, Anne and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief looking at the scene in front of them. Struck
with a sudden thought, Anne said, "The heart is the most important organ of a human body. After the
transplant, people sometimes change.
It's not uncommon to inherit something from the previous owner."
Kevin responded with a gentle smile, putting his arm around her shoulder. He said in a low voice,
"Didn't Eddy say that? Bob is alive in a different way. Although we may not be able to see him, he is
right in front of us."
His heart allowed him to live beyond his grave!
Anne's heart skipped a beat hearing that as she lowered her gaze. That was a comforting thought for
everyone!
After a long time, Bob's father finally let go of Eddy. He held his hand and guided him towards the ward.
Glancing at each other, Anne and Kevin immediately followed behind.
Inside the ward, Bob's mother was looking at Eddy with disgust. 'It's all Eddy's fault!'
"I was there in the operating room and heard when Bob agreed to give Eddy his heart. Our child's heart
will beat once again inside this boy. Maybe it's a way for Bob to keep on living," Bob's father addressed
his wife in a low voice.
She closed her eyes as tears welled up and coursed down her cheeks onto the pillows. 'Is it another
way for Bob to live?'
If their son could be alive once again, she wanted Bob to be there in front of her. She wanted to hear
him call her 'Mom' once more, Instead of him leaving only a heart.
"I am sorry that Bob is gone, but I will take care of you. I believe that Bob's heart will allow me to do the
same." The child was tender and soft-hearted. Despite his weak being, he was able to penetrate the
bottom of people's hearts.
This was the real strength of a child!
Gritting her teeth, Bob's mother let out a whimper. She suddenly opened her eyes and angrily shouted
at Eddy, "I don't want to see you. Get out of here!"
"Calm down, calm down. The doctor said that you can't be agitated." Bob's father quickly reminded her,
seeing her outburst and her face turning pale.
She couldn't help but cry harder. Her cries getting louder. She wept, "Bob is dead. That's the reality.
Don't try to persuade me otherwise. Another way for him to live? You already have the heart of my
child, so go live your life. You don't need to appear in front of me. It only made me feel worse."
Bob's father shook his head in disappointment. He let out a heavy sigh and walked out of the ward with
Eddy. Anne and Kevin quickly turned around and hid from them, having noticed the situation inside the
ward.
