Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 223 Payne Didn’t Want to Die

The following day.

In the hospital.

"Mr. James, your son doesn’t need to change his kidney." The doctor explained to Jafar.

"In Mr. Payne's case, he needs someone to match his bone marrow. He doesn’t need a kidney

transplant."

Jafar listened and waved his hand.

"Then find someone who can match my son’s bone marrow."

There was an unmistakable trace of impatience in the doctor's eye.

"Mr. James, you haven’t known what I mean. There were millions of people in our data, but if you want

to have a successful bone marrow match, there were several conditions, one of which is to find his

relatives, and relatives were more likely to match his bone marrow."

Mrs. James did not speak at all. She and Jafar might have a hidden problem from now on. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"You and your wife don’t match with his bone marrow," said the doctor, looking up hesitantly at Payne.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Payne's face changed momentarily, but he was silent and taciturn.

Mrs. James's eyes were sour, and her well-maintained hand pressed gently against her nose. She

hung her head and said nothing.

Watching his wife and son, Jafar grew upset.

"It is not a terminal disease. Why look so upset!"

Mrs. James suddenly raised her head. The eyes that had been lively in youth were still charming even

in old age. But the eyes that were charming to her husband now glared fiercely at him whom she had

always admired.

The doctor had heard something about the James family.

He was an expert of leukemia, and the patients he had contacted include those from the rich and

powerful circles, or friends of the media. After hearing about the James family, he hesitated to ask if he

still had brothers or sisters.

But now, looking at the family's different faces... The doctor warned himself that it would be better not to

provoke such a feud, and said at once.

"Well, we will be actively looking for a bone marrow match with Mr. Payne, and you can mobilize your

relatives and friends to come to the hospital for a check-up.”

“Actually, the success rate of match between non-relatives was not high. But in 2006, there was also an

exception. A teacher successfully donated his kidney bone marrow to a child.”

“That was hard to say whether Payne would be so luckily. But... Don't get your hopes up. If... If you

have any family members in the family, as them to get a match."

What the doctor said was true. The James family were not stupid. Payne's lips were white.

"And, Mr. Payne, from now on you will have to go through the hospitalization formalities. In your current

situation, you have to get chemotherapy, and during that period of chemotherapy, it would be great if

you could find a successful bone marrow donor."

"Chemotherapy?" Mrs. James, who had not spoken, screamed, "Doctor, Payne won’t have

chemotherapy. He can't get chemotherapy."

The doctor looked at the woman who grasped his wrist, and frowned, "Mrs. James, calm down, and let

go of your hand."

Mrs. James then let go of her hand gripping the doctor's wrist, said with panic, "Doctor, Payne can’t

have chemotherapy, resolutely not!”

"Mr. Payne's present situation would be serious if he doesn't receive chem. Chemotherapy is not

terrible..."

Before the doctor finished, Mrs. James retorted excitedly.

"How could that not terrible! My nephew died because he can’t get through the chemotherapy!" Then

she spoke with great firmness.

"In short! Payne would not accept chemotherapy!"

The doctor twisted his eyebrows. What he was afraid of most was the patient who was not reasonable.

Although he did not like it, he had to explain it clearly to Mrs. James.

"I'm going to check in."

After the doctor left, Payne walked dazedly to the window.

Mrs. James was trembling. "Son, I would find a matching bone marrow donor for you. Your father said

as long as we give the other party more money, the donor would agree. Don’t be afraid.”

She shook her hand and tried to take her son's.

The next second!

Payne, who was standing at the window, suddenly turned around and grabbed Mrs. James's hand as if

it were the last straw, pleading. "Mama! Mom! Just tell me where my little sister is; you know it, don't

you? Mom? Mom? Tell me! Say something!”

Payne then knelt down in front of Mrs. James. "I beg you! Mom! I beg you! I don't want to die! I'm

young, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!! Mama, mama, tell me, OK?"

He knew how hard to find a matching bone marrow donor was!

And the success rate would be lower if they were not relatives!

He dared not wait!

Mrs. James looked at her son who had no hope of survival. Her eyes filled with tears, and in a twinkling

of an eye, the tears rolled down her face. She covered her mouth and said nothing.

"Mother, even though Grace has cut all ties with us, she is still your daughter. She can give up anyone,

but not her own mother!”

“Mom, she can't have been out of touch with you for three years, can she?”

“Grace must have contacted you, hasn’t she? You must know where she is, don't you?" Payne looked

at Mrs. James in front of him nervously,

"Mother, don't you cry so much. Could you say something?"

Mrs. James could not bear it any longer. She covered her mouth and gave out a whine and then said to

Payne with tears in her eyes, "Payne, if you were Grace, would you still recognize me as your mother?"

She closed her eyes in pain... She didn't care about Grace and even gloated over her misfortune. Now

she couldn’t wait to slap herself!

Payne was stunned... His mother's words hit him like a hammer in the heart.

"Payne, listen to me. Your dad and I would use all the contacts and we'll cure you at all costs.”

“You were our only son. You were the only son in the James family. No matter what, your father

wouldn't leave you alone.”

“We'll ask for the best doctor for you. We will spend more money on finding the right bone marrow for

you..."

“Money, money, money! Mom! You know it is more difficult to find the bone marrow matching me from

those irrelevant people than to find a needle in the sea!”

“Mom! Only Grace can save me. Grace can match my bone marrow. You go to find Grace now."

Mrs. James’s tears fell down and she choked up.

"Payne, you know what, even if we did find Grace, would she be willing to save you?”

“And don't you forget, Grace... has suffered a lot there, and... she only has one kidney! Is she strong

enough to give you another bone marrow transplant?"

"I..." Payne was stunned!

Grace had only one kidney!

And he had forgotten that.

He closed his eyes in despair. Payne looked ashen and his lips trembled, trying to say something, but

he still didn’t say those selfish words.
