Serious health condition

Nicholas's smile wavered for a brief moment, but he quickly regained his cheerful demeanor as if he were unfazed by the dire news. "Yes, but I have a very rare blood type—O negative. It's quite tough to find a suitable donor,"

Ava couldn't believe he was still smiling at this serious situation as if it was not a big deal. The doctor had clearly said that he had only a year to live without a transplant. What if he didn't find a donor in time? How could he still be smiling?

"Do you know how serious your condition is?" she asked with a mix of surprise and concern.

"The doctor might have scared you," Nicholas said dismissively, his demeanor casual. "They are like this – enjoy giving tension to others. But don't worry. I am not going to die so soon." He chuckled. "I'll get a suitable donor soon," he said with confidence as if he had already found a donor.
