The paramedics ran while pushing the wheelchair to the Emergency Room. Christian was taken to the hospital as soon as he passed out. The mother looks so worried. In these three months, Christian has been admitted to the hospital twice.
Christian Gibson, son of wealthy businessmen Alan Gibson and Linda Portman, has had a heart defect since childhood. Tetralogy of Fallot is a condition in which the heart has birth defects such as a septal defect–a gap between heart chambers and stenosis–a narrowing of valves of blood vessels from heart to lungs.
Of course, with the wealth owned by Alan Gibson, Christian has always received excellent care since childhood. However, Christian's condition still cannot be normal like children's. His condition is severe. He couldn't even be too tired, so his heart could still beat.
Over time, Christian grew into a handsome young man, although his body was weak due to his condition. Various kinds of treatment have been carried out. But it did not make Christian recover from his illness. Every day Christians must take drugs to survive. One day, Doctor Nick Brown saw Christian's condition was no longer possible, and the way for Christian to survive was with heart transplant surgery.
Christian refuses that. He didn't want to take someone else's heart while trying to live. But his parents wanted their son to get well. As a result, Linda and Alan secretly waited for someone will donate a heart for their son. They have been waiting for a year. But there was never any news about a suitable heart donor for Christian.
"Darling!" A man's voice startled Linda. There was a middle-aged man with sleek makeup, like a CEO of a big company. He is Alan Gibson, owner of Gibson Holding Company and father of Christian Gibson.
Linda approached her husband and hugged him. She sobbed as she lamented the condition of her son.
"Honey, how is this? Christian, how can we keep Christian. I don't want to lose him," Linda whines.
"Calm down, Honey. He'll be fine," said Alan. "Our child is a strong child."
No parent can bear to see their child suffer. This time is already very used to Christian's condition suddenly dropping. But they still don't want to lose Christian. They both love Christian very much. There was no way they didn't try their best to cure their child.
It wasn't long before the Doctor came out of the room. Linda and Alan immediately approached the Doctor.
"How is our son, Doctor?" asked Linda. Her face was covered with clouds. She didn't care anymore what to do now. But she hopes that there is still hope for Christian.
The Doctor's face showed deep concern. But he still has to do his job well.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. We can't buy time. We have to perform an operation to save his life. Otherwise, he won't be able to survive. Maybe within a month, it's uncertain," said the Doctor.
Linda's face immediately turned angry and sad. Which mother can accept this condition? "How can you say that, Doctor! My son must not die! My son must live. He is only twenty-five years old. He still has much to do!"
"Darling, calm down." Alan rubbed his wife's back. He knows this is hard. But getting angry won't solve anything.
"Calm down?" Linda is entirely out of control. "How can you ask me to calm down, Honey? Our child is said to be dead. For me to be at peace? I gave birth to him! I can't just let him die!"
Linda's voice was so loud that it disturbed the other hospital visitors.
"We'd better talk when you've calmed down." The Doctor suggested that it was challenging to discuss with Christian's parents. "We will do our best to continue to look after the patient. Excuse me."
The Doctor returned to the room while Linda Portman and Alan remained silent. Linda was devastated. How to get a heart donor. They've been waiting all this time, and neither one fits Christian.

Natasha is sitting in front of the mirror. She looked at her, who was so beautiful, wearing a wedding dress. Today is her wedding day to Phillips. Her face was delighted. It radiates a ray of happiness that cannot be hidden.
"How long are you going to keep smiling?" A girl with short hair and fashionable clothes stood beside Natasha.
Natasha licked her lips. She did not care about the words that came out of the mouth of Ellen Kim, her best friend, and Philips. They were in the same school. It so happened that Ellen helped Natasha organize this wedding.
"Why are you silent?" asked Ellen again. "Say something. Are you happy to be marrying Phillips?" asked Ellen.
"Of course I'm happy. We've been dating for a very long time. You know what I longed to be a wife the most?" said Natasha.
Ellen smiled when she heard Natasha's words. She is also happy with her best friend's marriage. But from the expression on her face, Ellen looked so uneasy.
"What are you doing, Ellen?" asked Natasha. Since a while ago, her best friend looked so restless.
"We've waited too long. Did Phillips call you?" asked Ellen.
Natasha nodded. She showed her phone, which contained a message from Phillips. "He said someone's car broke down on the road, and he was trying to help," Natasha replied.
"Ahh, why is he so stupid? He knows he's getting married today, but why is he helping other people's cars instead?" Ellen grunted.
Natasha just smiled. She knew that Phillips was too kind and easily felt sorry for others.
"I will wait for him faithfully," said Natasha. And Natasha's words got harsh scorn from Ellen.
"You're the same. Don't be so nice to other people. If you feed a dog, it will be loyal to you. But humans aren't necessarily. You can't count on your kindness. They won't care," said Ellen.
Ellen did have a pretty bad temper. That girl is too brave. Not like the meek Natasha.
A few moments passed, and Natasha's phone rang. The girl immediately picked it up because it was seen on the screen as a call from Phillips.
"Hello, Phillips. Have you finished helping someone whose car broke down? Ellen has been upset waiting for you for a long time," said Natasha.
But the answer from the caller made Natasha silent. Ellen's phone even fell to the floor. Her tears suddenly fell.
Ellen, who saw that, of course, panicked. "Tasha, what's going on? Why did you throw away your phone?" implored Ellen.
Natasha's hands were shaking so badly. The smile on his face instantly turned to sadness. "Phillips..."
