Chapter 383
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Jasonâs expression had an unfathomable struggle written across it.
âSelena and my parents went behind my back and set a surgery date for this weekend. Sheâs giving me one of her own kidneys. I heard it from the doctor and scolded Selena for hiding this from me, even with my own parents. I donât want Selena to donate a kidney for me. I donât want it...â
He repeated several times and Georgia understood.
Selena was planning on donating her kidney, but as her big brother, Jason didnât want her to.
Jason spoke up again.
âYou are siblings. Why would you refuse her kidney? Isnât it normal for brother and sister to help each other?â
Jason knew privately that Selena was being so selfless because she loved her brother. That was why she had no regrets.
As someone who knew that much, he wanted to persuade Jasper to take the donation, or Selena would be upset about it.
He understood how much guilt Selena felt towards the Holland family. She wanted to repay them for raising her with her own kidney.
âSelena is my little sister. I know that a person can survive healthily after donating a single kidney, but I donât want her to suffer. Thereâs been news on the black market. I donât want to put Selena through such a thing.â
Jasper was also looking at it from a brotherâs perspective. He didnât want his own sister to have to struggle through physical problems when she got on in years and her kidney started acting up. Two kidneys were always better than one. Jasper didnât want Selena to sacrifice her own body.
That was why emotions were tense between brother and sister. Both Georgia and Robert understood, but the two didnât know how to persuade them.
Both siblings seemed to have the right view of things, so might as well not butt in.
Robert changed the subject entirely.
âDidnât you say you were starving to death waiting for us for so long? Letâs go out and eat. Youâre probably going insane cooped up in hospital.â
Jasper smiled and nodded, his mood seemingly improving significantly.
They took Jasper out of the hospital and drove straight to M Garden, a restaurant under Georgia.
Naturally, Georgia had her own compartment at any time. As the owner, it was also the biggest compartment.
As the group sat, M Gardenâs boss came over to greet them personally and took their orders before leaving.
After that, Jasper turned to Robert curiously.
âJason didnât explain things clearly over the phone. Why are you going for a full body checkup, Robert? You didnât fall ill out of nowhere like me, did you?â
At that, Georgia and Jasonâs faces both changed. Robert himself, though, was calm.
âI didnât jinx you, right? Canât be, you fell into bad luck along with me, then?â
Jasper looked at Robert, itching to know what had happened.
Georgia briefly explained Robertâs experience of being experimented on in human lab.
âWe donât know if itâs serious or not, so we have to go for a full body check and see if thereâs any issues. I hope the report come up with no problems.â
Georgia prayed for such a result, but she was really uneasy.
Sometimes, she hated her instinct. Right now, her instincts were telling her that the results of the checkup wouldnât be good.
Jasper spoke pityingly towards Robert.
âI canât believe it. You too. Look at me. Not even thirty yet, no children, no wife, and Iâm almost dead. Thankfully, in the 21st Century, this sort of disease is salvageable. If it had been in ancient times, Iâd be waiting to die, and no matter how much money I have, itâs useless... this sickness has taught me to cherish those close to you and not treat life some game. From now on, I should just wise up and marry a wife. Best if she loves me, and then I can stay at home with my wife and children, living like my Mom and Dad. Might be nice too.â
Jasperâs positivity had Robert smiling too.
âLooks like my luckâs a bit better than yours, though. Iâm almost thirty now, and I have a wife and children. Even if something happens with my body, I can die with no regrets.â
That had been a teasing remark towards Jasper, but Georgiaâs face sank as she pinched Robertâs arm.
âWhat kind of talk is that? Canât you read the room?â
Jason and Jasper started laughing.
âSeems like Robert, once a man among men, has fallen to his wife. Tsk tsk tsk...â
The two teased, while Georgiaâs face went red with embarrassment.
She was just too sensitive and consciously got angry and fearful from Robertâs words.
âWhen are the results coming out, then?â
Jasper asked concernedly, and Georgia turned to him, replying.
âMaybe tomorrow afternoon. I hope itâs not a huge issue when the results come out.â
The four ended up chatting away, going from where Jayson could be hiding now to how to get more information out of Sierra.
They ate lunch like that, in leisure, then drove Jasper back to the ward.
Jason stayed in the hospital to talk more with Jasper, then drove back to his own place.
Georgia and Robert drove back the house as well. After all, Elsie and Annie were still there, and Ivan was waiting too. The two couldnât delay too long outside.
On the way back, Robert saw Georgiaâs tense expression and hugged her to him, his tones soothing.
âDonât be afraid. I already checked it up with you. If anything is the issue, weâll face it together then. No matter what, Iâll do my best to live on and stay with you and Annie.â
Georgia forced a smile and broached another important question.
âSince Jaysonâs gone and Sierraâs in our grasp, what about your mother and Wesley? When are you going to pick them up and take them back?â
âIâd wanted to take them today, but then we went to the hospital. Iâm also afraid that somethingâs up with my body, so I didnât take them back today.
Letâs wait until tomorrow. When the results come out tomorrow, Iâll put them in the mansion. Iâm just afraid you wonât be used to it.â
Robert didnât know how to open up with Georgia about his mother and Wesley, and how to talk about it without making Georgia upset or sad.
His mother was mentally unstable right now. She could be taken care of directly, but during the minutes she was sober, Robert was sure that sheâd be furious with Georgia, saying all sorts of vicious, toxic things. That worried Robert a little, and he didnât know where to put his mother.
As for Wesley, he was his son, after all. He couldnât put him somewhere unfamiliar just for Georgia and Annie. He was planning on taking Wesley back.
He just didnât quite have the nerve to ask Georgia about it.
With his male instincts, heâd been avoiding the discussion and planning on just up and waiting another day to take them back. But Georgia had asked about it directly, and Robert could only give the answer that heâd thought of for the moment.
âLetâs have your mother stay in the mansion for now. Itâs easier for security. As for Wesley, I get a feeling of closeness from him. It might be from a previous love, but we werenât in a relationship back then, and I wonât mind.â
Robert felt like Georgia was being too generous, which made him feel like something was off.
But as a man, it wouldnât do to push her about it.
Since his wife was letting up this much, Robert gave her a thankful kiss.
Georgia lowered her head, a bemused emotion churning in her gut.
Of course she wasnât okay with Robertâs mother. But she also knew that Robertâs body could develop issues at any time right now. Even if they were small issues, she was still worried.
So she couldnât help but soften up and cherish every minute they had instead of squabbling over Robertâs mother.
It would be such a waste of the time they had gotten back to be together.
After all, theyâd been through too much torment. Every second was precious to her now.
Coming back to the mansion, Robert started playing with Annie, while Georgia went alone to the bedroom.
She closed the door, then gave Travis a call.
After it went through, Georgia put Travis to the question.
âI know youâve been hunting Jayson Mathis alongside Sarah for the past year, Travis. I wanted to ask you if Jayson had a lab for human experiment.
What experiments went on in there? Are the people involved in those experiments still around? Do you have any idea?â
