Chapter 517: Why Should I… Give You My Daughter’s Heart

Hearing the words, Cayman Dorrans looked at Matthew and asked, “What did you say?”

Matthew took a look at the woman in the crystal coffin and anxiously said to him, “I helped lift her up and saw the sutures over where her heart should be… so I asked one of our men to cut the thread and found that her heart is missing.”

Cayman Dorrans did not believe it and took a look himself.

He swayed and would have almost lost his balance if not for the cane.

“Gu Siting, where is her heart?”

No wonder the Gu Family kept on stopping him from taking her away. They must have been worried that they would find out that her heart had been removed.

Without waiting for Gu Siting and Mrs. Gu to speak, Ling Yan kneeled down in front of Cayman Dorrans and said, whilst sobbing, “Uncle, Weiwei’s heart has been transplanted into me.”

“Transplanted into you?” Cayman Dorrans looked down at Ling Yan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying pitifully.

“Why should I give you my daughter’s heart?”

Ling Yan sobbed and said, “I have a heart disease and Weiwei has saved me time and time again. If not for the heart she gave me, I…”

Cayman Dorrans lifted Ling Yan’s chin with his cane, forcing her to look into his eyes.

“She gave it to you?”

Ling Yan said, with tears in her eyes, “Weiwei was looking for a heart that could be transplanted into me but she never found it, until after something happened to Weiwei…”

Cayman Dorrans’s eyes were as cold as ice and his voice was threatening, “So you removed her heart and put it inside yourself?”

Ling Yan shivered at the murderous look in Cayman Dorrans’s eyes and she could not utter a single word.

Mrs. Gu was also nervous and explained this to her. “Weiwei and Ling Yan have always been good friends and Weiwei has always hoped to cure Ling Yan, so…”

She did not want to speak up for Ling Yan but the Gu Family would not be able to get away with this matter if she didn’t.

“There is a saying in Hua Land, that the body, hair and skin belong to the parents[1].”

Cayman Dorrans threw a look at Mrs. Gu and Gu Siting, then turned to Ling Yan who was kneeling on the ground and crying. “Even if she is dead, none of you are qualified to take away anything from her.”

“Ling Yan was seriously ill at the time. If she had not received a heart transplant, she would have died too…” Mrs. Gu explained.

“My daughter is dead, why…?” Cayman Dorrans slammed his cane against the ground and asked furiously, “Why did she survive with Weiwei’s heart? Who does she think she is? ”

His only daughter was dead and her heart was removed.

He had not even heard the news of her death for months.

Ling Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered at the cold voice. She lowered her head and cried even harder.

Gu Siting was about to speak when Mrs. Gu stopped him.

Mrs. Gu explained in a gentle tone, “Mr. Dorrans, Weiwei has been trying to save her. Something happened to her and Ling Yan is dying too, so Weiwei’s heart was transplanted…”

“No matter how desperate I am, I just can’t accept my daughter being treated like this.”

Cayman Dorrans was both angry and sad, and he did not want to hear any explanations.

“Uncle, I am sorry, I…”

“I don’t need your apology.” Cayman Dorrans looked at Ling Yan, who was crying, and was not moved by her tears at all.

“I just need you to return what you have taken!”
