: Baron only gave a light smile as he sat down at Natalie's side . " Your recovery will take time . Don't push yourself ." 51 +10 Free Coins " I can wait , " Natalie murmured . Her eyes darkened . " But I want to know - whose skin is on me now ? " When she'd woken , Shauna had told her the grafts had worked , even that her face had been slightly adjusted . Natalie had been stunned . Finding compatible donors wasn't simple , and Yvonne was supposed to be dead . Who else could have given ? Baron's smile widened faintly as he told her the truth of Yvonne's staged death .
Natalie stiffened , worry rushing in . " If Yvonne gave me everything , what about her ? Will she have aftereffects ? Where is she now ? " Baron knew her heart too well . If Natalie saw Yvonne's condition , guilt would eat her alive . " She's being looked after , " he reassured softly . " Her body needs time , but she'll recover . I'll find skin for her too . Don't worry . " Natalie's brow furrowed . She had read enough to know - one couldn't give away all their skin without courting death . And the aftermath of grafting was brutal . Even a minor infection could kill . A life for a life .
Her chest tightened . " Baron , don't lie to me . Tell me the truth . Can Yvonne live ? Can she truly be well ? " " She can ." He caught her bandaged hand gently , voice lowering . " Before Yvonne agreed , I already reached out to the black market . Three other donors matched you . I didn't take all from Yvonne - 1 split the grafts among four . She's my sister now . You think I'd use her life to buy yours ? I know you'd never accept it . " Natalie's eyes widened . " Really ? " " Of course . I still have the records . Want to see ? " She nodded quickly . These people had saved her .
She needed to know them . Baron handed her his phone . On it were three profiles . To her surprise , they were all from one 1/2 18:30 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 118 The Stone Family family . " A family ? " : 51 +10 Free Coins " Yes . Quite a coincidence . " His lips curved faintly . " They aren't ordinary folk either . Merchants . They don't lack money , but they've dedicated themselves to charity . They even founded a relief foundation after losing a young daughter to illness . To honor her memory , they've given and given , for years .
Their eldest son recently took over the family company , still learning the ropes . " Natalie listened with quiet awe . " When I'm stronger , I want to thank them myself ." " You will . " Baron's gaze softened . Seeing her alive again , with hope in her eyes , made everything worth it . Their name was Stone . In Murica , the Stone family was no small force . Though they kept a low profile , their fortune was vast - a hidden power in the business world . Baron himself had been surprised they'd consented to donate .
But in the urgency of Natalie's condition , there'd been no time to question fate . Now it all rested on her recovery , on whether her body would accept the grafts . After a little more talk , fatigue claimed her . Baron tucked the blanket closer . " Rest . We'll have all the time in the world to talk later . " " Alright . " Her lashes fluttered closed . He stayed a while longer , watching , before leaving for Yvonne's room . She had woken earlier , but pain made every breath heavy . When Baron entered , she tried to rise instinctively . He pressed her shoulder gently down . " Stay put .
Heal . You've suffered enough . I'll have the housekeeper bring you good food to build your strength . " Yvonne's lips curved faintly . " Mr. Gunn , I'm not a child ." " You're my sister now . My real sister . From today on , your name is Yvonne Gunn ." 2/2
