"Renal failure," said Jasper flatly. Ivan's expression changed.
When he was about to comfort Jasper that the disease could be cured, Jasper smiled.
"My parents are aged, so they are sad. The doctor has explained to me -- I can take the dialysis treatment right now. If it becomes worse, I will get a kidney transplant. If I could wait for a suitable renal source, I still could survive. Besides, I don't lack money, so the dialysis cost means nothing to me. I just need to wait for the suitable donor."
After Jasper finished her words, Jason widened his eyes and said, "You are so optimistic. Just now, I can tell your parents are truly sad. If you told them those words, they would be sadder. Your parents are aged, so of course, they hope you're always well."
Jasper, who was smiling, put away his smile.
"I know it certainly. But if I looked sad, my parents would suffer more. Besides, this disease could be cured. It only depends on God's plan for me. If I got a certain kind of cancer, I must die, but this one is much better than those cancers."
Ivan felt optimistic as well as upset. In the end, he heaved a sigh.
"As a doctor, I don't care about the death, but you are so optimistic. I truly don't know what to remark. Has the doctor told you how serious your sickness is? Do you need the renal transplant as soon as possible?"
"Nope. It's not that serious yet, but it'll become worse bit by bit. I need to do dialysis every month. Now I've been waiting in the line of the renal donation list for a matched kidney. However, I'm quite rich. If I couldn't wait for a suitable renal, I could get renal from the black market. Anyway, there are always some people who can do anything for money. If I felt guilty, I could give the donor more money."
Jasper added in a lower voice, "I still want to live on. I can't face death so peacefully. There are a lot of ways for me to live on. Please don't worry about me. If you always looked upset when facing me, I can't stand it at all."
"All right. Since you are so optimistic, we'll just shut up."
Jason heaved a sigh. He grew up with Jasper. They never had been seriously sick before, so they never thought of taking good care of their health.
Now, Jasper suddenly had encountered such a matter, Jason felt that he should cherish his life and people around him who were nice to him.
After they were silent for a moment, Jasper said, "By the way, could you guys do me a favor, please? My younger sister ran away from home with her child. It's quite difficult for her to take care of a child by herself. Please help me find where she is."
Ivan immediately said OK. Jason also said yes while feeling a sense of guilt.
Later, Jason and Ivan comforted Jasper's parents. They said they would also help Jasper and they were ready to do the renal matching test.
If they could donate the kidney to Jasper, they would do it based on their friendship, which made Jasper's parents quite grateful.
After the two men left the ward, Jason drove back home. He thought about Selena. Jason tried to call her on the phone.
He dialed the secret number that they both knew before. Jason didn't have hope at the beginning, but much to his surprise, the call was connected.
Then he heard Selena's voice.
"Hello, Jason. Why did you suddenly call me?"
Selena had been settled down in Sweden with her son right now. They were in a city with mild weather. She liked staying there very much.
She had bought a two-story house and hired two servants to take care of her and her son.
She was leading a plain life without any excitement.
Suddenly she received a call from Jason, so Selena was quite surprised.
Since she went back until she left, she didn't call Jason to tell him about her decision.
She wasn't willing to tell Jason that Elliot had found the truth. She would rather leave in silence.
"Selena, I know you've left so suddenly because you are afraid they would find the truth. Now, something happened to your family. If I still hid it from you, I guess you might be quite upset in the future."
Upon hearing Jason's words, Selena was confused.
"What on earth happened? Jason, please directly tell me."
"Your brother, Jasper, is sick. He fainted two days ago. Just now, the checkup of the hospital showed that he got renal failure. He needs to take the dialysis treatment monthly and wait for a renal donation... You may also know the worst-case scenario, I guess. However, Jasper is quite emotionally stable and optimistic. As long as he could wait for the suitable renal, he would be fine. But you know, this kind of matter relies on luck. I guess you must want to see him. I wonder if you would choose to come back. However, I believe I should inform you about this matter."
Upon hearing it, Selena almost dropped her cell phone. She looked extremely pale.
In her opinion, Jasper was always strong and tall. He even didn't get a cold all year round. Suddenly, he was seriously sick -- he got renal failure and needed to get a renal transplant. Selena could hardly believe it.
"Is it quite serious now? How's Jasper doing now? How about my parents? Are they quite upset now?"
"Your brother is physically stable now. His sickness was found at the right time. The monthly dialysis treatment should ease his symptom, but his kidneys would fail step by step. He must need a renal transplant. Jasper knows about it. He's quite an optimist. We'll also try our best to help him. The worst case of scenario will be to looking for a suitable renal source for him in the black market. As for your parents, they are quite upset now. We comforted them and they should be better."
"Thank you so much for informing me about this matter, Jason. I'll go back to see my brother. I'll also do the matching est for him. If I can donate a kidney to him, I can repay the favor that the Holland family has been raising me for so many years."
Selena loved her brother deeply, so naturally, she was willing to donate her kidney. Jason nodded in understanding.
After they talked more about Jasper's current condition and Selena got to know the details, suddenly she thought about something.
She asked, "By the way, Jason, I know Ms. Bradley and you are going to married. Do you truly like Ms. Bradley? Will you invite me to your wedding in the future?"
In fact, Jason still hesitated, wondering if he should marry Miranda. However, Miranda had been pestering him and she treated him truly.
It was so rare for one to treat another person so truly. After what happened to Jasper, Jason believed that he should cherish the loving ones around him, so he answered, "Probably in the next one or two years. After we've decided the date, I'll inform you."
Upon hearing Jason's answer, Selena swallowed back the words that she wanted to tell him.
Last time on the phone, Miranda directly said that Jason and she hadn't met each other on Jason's grandpa's banquet, which made Elliot misunderstand Selena. Selena couldn't understand why Miranda hated her so much.
However, judging from Jason's words, Selena could tell that Jason liked Miranda.
Hence, she decided not to tell Jason about it. Otherwise, it might impact his relationship with Miranda.
Anyway, if she explained to Elliot what happened, she didn't think her foster mother would believe her.
They hung up the phone later. Selena kept hesitating at home.
She wondered if she should call Elliot and tell her that she was willing to do the renal matching test for Jasper. If it matched, she was willing to donate a kidney.
On the other side, after Ivan went back home, he secretly entered his study and directly dialed a phone number.
Immediately, he heard a man's voice from the other end of the line.
Ivan told the man everything that happened with Sierra today. Then he also mentioned what was going on online, which was from his assistant Ben's report.
Georgia had a worse reputation online right now. A lot of netizens believed that she was a scheming woman.
"Robert, everything goes according to your plan. Sierra has exposed her true colors today. Next, she must try her best effort to make this will illegal. Should I help her with this and disclose a fake flaw of this will to her? I don't want her to do something desperate like a corner beats, such as using Wesley and Mrs. Simpson to achieve her goals."
"I've already arranged a person to help Sierra. You don't need to care about this matter."
Upon hearing Robert's answer, Ivan nodded.
He thought about what happened today and asked, "You faked dying. Now no one knows about the truth except me. You also didn't tell Georgia. Do you know Travis Armstrong is always with Georgia nowadays? Georgia is pretty upset now. In case Travis took the chance and gained her heard, your wife will be stolen soon if you still sit and watch without doing anything, Robert!"
