Austin nodded. "True, not everyone is like Yara, adored by all her teachers."


    Mentioning his other niece, Yara, seemed to soften his expression.


    Even though Yara''sst name was Ji, she was also the pride of the Cunningham family.


    Kitty''s face brightened, unable to hide her pride. She lifted her chin a bit. "Of course, my daughter is exceptional."


    Austin chuckled. "She''s already set to be the lead researcher at Prestige College''s Department of Mathematical Sciences, and she hasn''t even graduated yet. The Cunningham family must have some good karma to have such a genius."


    Kitty nodded, then quickly shifted the conversation. "I know my older sister is against the idea, so I had George reach out to her daughter."


    "And?" Austin asked.


    Kitty waved her hand, a look of resignation on her face. "I just got off the phone with George. He said my niece refused to meet me, saying she has no connection with strangers."


    Austin had been starting to think highly of this top achiever, considering if she had any potential, she might be brought back to the Cunningham family for nurturing. Now, it seemed... she inherited her mother''s cold nature?


    Kitty looked towards their father lying on the hospital bed and sighed. "How much longer can Dad hold on? It''s just a simplepatibility test, but my sister and her daughter... Well, let''s just keep waiting for another opportunity. After all, we can''t force these things."


    Austin frowned deeply; his father''s situation was critical. The doctors had said the chances of a match were higher within close family members. Everyone in the Cunningham family had been tested, but none were a match.


    The hospital''s bone marrow database had been scoured, matching thousands of pairs without sess. Finding a match among strangers seemed almost impossible.


    To save Donald, they had to rely on familial ties.


    After a moment, he said, "I''ll talk to my sister again, but as for her daughter Austin''s eyes narrowed, a cold glint shing. "She doesn''t have a choice but to meet us. After all, she has the Cunningham blood in her veins."


    Kitty''s lips curled up slightly, choosing not toment further.


    Austin missed Kitty''s expression. After a brief pause, he continued, "By the way, about Yara..."


    Kitty, seeing Emmitt mention Yara, smoothly pulled out a preparedpatibility result from her bag, interrupting him. "This is the test Yara Oluntarily did at the hospital.


    Unfortunately, it''s not a met


    swney


    Austin was momentarily surprised, but then felt a sense of relief. "I never intended for Yara to undergo the test. I didn''t expect her to do it on her own... such a good kid."


    Kitty, taken aback but relieved, had been worried Emmitt would insist on Yara getting tested.


    Although the doctors had said it wouldn''t harm her physically, who could guarantee it? She wouldn''t let her daughter suffer regardless.


    "Yara wanted to do her part," Kitty added.


    "Mhm." Austin nodded.


    Just then, there was a knock on the hospital room door, interrupting them.


    Kitty put the results back into her bag before heading to the door, speaking, "It might be Georgeing back. You can ask him about my sister''s daughter in detail, Emmitt."
