Chapter 284 Sarah’s Invitation Card
Chapter 284 Sarah’s Invitation Card
After she gave birth to the baby for three months, the baby suffered from acute leukaemia. She had done the matching herself and sought other matched types in the USA hospital but she could not find a suitable donor. So, Selena went back to her country and sought the matched type in the marrow bank.
Of course, her greatest hope was on Jasper. She hoped that Jasper’s marrow matched her baby.
She was in a mess after she came back for half of the month, she had not yet organized everything. She intended to call Jason initially and asked for his help but she did not expect her brother to find her.
“Jasper, let me stay outside can or not? I need your help but I don’t want daddy mommy to worry about me. I should have called you earlier but I am too busy after I come back. I plan to tell you everything after I settle them.”
Jasper definitely would not allow Selena to stay outside alone but his sister seemed to need his help. So, he skipped the topic and asked his sister.
“What’s so urgent? Just tell me, I will help you.”
Selena had drafted her words earlier, she spoke to her brother.
“Jasper, I have given birth to a son. He is almost four months old now but he suffers from acute leukaemia a month ago. He needs matched marrow but I can’t find any in the USA. So, I can just come back and search for it. Mine is not suitable for him. Jasper, can you undergo the marrow matching test? You’re my brother, maybe you can be the donor.”
His nephew had suffered from a serious illness. Although Jasper disagreed to let his sister give birth to the baby, he was worried at the moment.
“He is your son, I will definitely agree to donate my bone marrow. I will go to the hospital now and see whether mine is matched with his. Oh yeah, why don’t you inform daddy mommy? Maybe they can
donate too? Let them do the test in the hospital. In addition, we have so many relatives in the Holland family, I will ask them to check up in the hospital. We also have hundreds of thousands of employees work under our company. I will put a notice in my office, if there is any matched type, I will award the person a few million Yuan. Then, there will be a lot of people undergo the matching test in the hospital, you must find a suitable bone marrow for your son among the huge number of donors.”
Selena cried and shook her head. Her secret would be exposed if she really did that. Her brother did not know the relationship between them but her foster parents knew it clearly. She thought and came out with an excuse.
“Jasper, you do it first can or not? I don’t want daddy mommy to worry about me. I’m so wilful and give birth to a baby, my baby is even sicked now. I don’t want them to think that I’m useless. If your bone marrow is not suitable, then we just execute the method you mentioned just now, ok?”
Selena almost cried and begged him but Jasper was stubborn.
“Cannot, it’s my fault that I ask you to abort the baby, I don’t respect your opinion at that time. However, it involves the life of the child now. That is your son, my nephew and daddy mommy’s grandson as well. If we can undergo the matching test earlier, we can save him. You have made a wrong decision. Selena, trust my decision. Don’t waste any time finding the matched type. You must listen to me.”
“Jasper, please don’t.”
Selena knelt on the ground and cried suddenly. She did not know how to explain the reason behind it, so she could just kneel in front of her brother. Then, she buried her head in his brother’s knees and cried loudly. Selena cried so sadly, Jasper never saw her be so suffered before. His heart cracked.
“Do you have any difficulty? Selena, just tell me. I know I did something wrong last year. Tell me your difficulty, then I will not force you.”
Selena begged her brother with her swollen and reddened eyes.
“Jasper, there is a reason behind that I can’t tell. Just let me do whatever I want and give me some days. You go and go the matching test first. If yours is not suitable, then we change to another method, ok? It just takes a few days to get the bone marrow report, is it ok?”
Jasper was soft-hearted. His sister never begged him in such a sorrowful way.
“Alright. It’s late now, the hospital is closed already. I will do the test in the hospital tomorrow morning. Which hospital will your baby go to? I will contact the dean of the hospital and ask them to prepare earlier.”
Selena said out the name of the hospital in which her son stayed. Jasper was relieved then.
Since he could not tell his parents directly, he could not inform the employees to undergo the test too as it would have alerted his parents. But he could ask Robert and Jason for help.
However, looking at his sister’s pattern, Jasper decided not to say out his method. He could compromise not to inform his parents but he felt uneasy to undergo the test alone.
“I don’t know what is the reason you don’t want to go home and inform our parents about it. Selena, do you still stay outside after your son gets the suitable marrow and recovers? Listen to me, let me bring you home at that time.”
Selena did not dare to go home, she even wanted to leave stealthily but she could not tell her brother about it. So, Selena lied to him.
“Jasper, I will. After my son recovers, I will follow you go home.”
Selena felt suffered to lie to her brother. Jasper did not notice that, he was satisfied.
“Don’t forget your promise. It’s late now, you rest well. I will go home now, don’t come with me anymore,” Jasper stood up and wanted to leave. Selena sent Jasper out. Before Jasper left, he responded suddenly.
“You kept hugging my nephew just now, I haven’t seen his face. Can I see him?”
Selena was stunned but she could not reject his request. So, she brought her brother to the bedroom. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
In the bedroom, a baby slept on the bed. He had a ruddy complexion, he closed his eyes tightly.
“Why babies always look the same?”
Jasper sighed at his sister. He thought his sister would give birth to a good-looking baby but the baby looked the same as the babies he saw before.
Selena laughed at his words. Actually, it was because her son had not yet opened his eyes. After he opened his eyes, Jasper may find the difference among babies. However, she did not want Jasper to suspect anything so she just smiled.
“The baby has not yet grown up. They look like that when they are born. You can see his features clearly after some time.”
Jasper was uninterested in that. So, he went to the door and wanted to leave. Before he left, he asked unpleasantly.
“The members of the Holland family have big eyes and aquiline nose, why don’t I find the features on his face? Do you have any photos of him when he opens his eyes?”
Selena definitely had the photos but she did not want to show him. She revealed a helpless smile.
“I seldom take photos of him. Jasper, you can see him opening his eyes when you visit us next time. Then, you can see his features.”
Selena had said that so Jasper could not help but leave. He did not want her to send him downstairs. Jasper straight away entered the lift and said goodbye to Selena.
After Jasper went home, he was hesitant when looking at his parents. He suppressed his words when thinking of Selena’s crying face.
‘Forget it, just wait until I get the marrow report,’ Jasper went to his bedroom and took a bath. He called Jason after he wore the bathrobe.
“It’s late now, I almost sleep. Why do you call me at this time?”
Jason grumbled, Jasper straight away criticized him.
“Don’t you have a business trip in G City? According to your nightlife, it’s impossible for you to sleep early.”
“Don’t mention any nightlife. I asked others to prepare for my happy hours but Miranda showed up suddenly. I had asked a woman into my room but Miranda gave the woman money in front of me. Then, the woman left directly. What should I do? Do you think she really likes me? Why will she like a flippant man like me?”
Jasper laughed after hearing Jason’s complaint.
“She’s so adorable. Or else, you just accept her love. All in all, you have to marry someone and give birth to a baby for the Murphy family. Miranda looks like a proper woman, she likes you some more, isn’t it a perfect solution?”
“I don’t like her, that’s the point. I don’t have any lust for her, she even ridiculed me just now. If I’m angry, she will compensate for my nightlife but I don’t have any lust for her. How can we marry and give birth to a baby?”
Jason had chased Miranda out. He had now cleared his lust.
He just wanted to enjoy his nightlife in G City but he did not expect Miranda to follow him. Since he got to know her affection for him, she always showed up in front of him and chased away all the women beside him.
Miranda had helped Jason before, so he could not scold Miranda. He had thrown tantrum on her in the hospital last time but he regretted it afterwards. Miranda was five years younger than him, he thought that it was inappropriate for a man to treat a woman in that way.
‘But am I going to tolerate with her forever? Will I be a monk forever?’
Jason had not thought of a solution to cancel their relationship. After Jasper laughed and spoke some words, he voiced out his intention.
“There are approximately a hundred thousand of employees in your company including the workers from all over the cities and towns, right?”
“Yes, why do you ask this kind of question suddenly?”
Jason could not understand his intention.
“You just put a notice in your company and all the branches, ask them to do a bone marrow matching test in the hospital. I will take responsibility of the fees and labour work. Among such a huge number of people, if someone has a matched type, I will award the person five million Yuan. Then, there must be a lot of people go for the matching test.”
Jason felt that it was just an easy task for him, he agreed immediately but he was curious.
“You never bother others’ issue. Who is sick this time? I believe that it must be an important person for you.”
“Yes, important for me. You don’t have to ask for the answer from me now. I will tell you after a few days. You just arrange first, it is related to a life, do it as soon as possible.”
“Alright, I will ask my assistant to arrange it.”
Jason agreed. After they hung up the call, Jasper thought of Robert.
Robert had a company as large as his. Robert even had a large number of employees. However, he did not know whether Robert would help in the condition.
However, it was his nephew, Jasper would not give up any hope. He called Robert. Once Robert picked up his call, he straight away said out his intention.
Meanwhile, Robert agreed without hesitation.
“I will arrange it, don’t worry.”
Jasper smiled.
“I’m so worried before I call you, I’m afraid that you will reject my request. I’m so happy that you agree. Robert, we are always best friends, thank you for helping me.”
“I misunderstand you all before. It’s me who is too narrow-minded. I should apologize to you all.”
Robert’s voice was emotional, he had experienced a lot of betrayals in the past. So, he was wary of everyone around him once he went back. He thought that his friends and fiancée had cheated on him
before.
But after he was kidnapped, he realized that those people treated him sincerely. Of course, he would change his attitude.
They spoke a few words. Jasper and Robert finally became reconciled.
He even asked Robert out afterwards. He would invite Jason and a few friends to enjoy together and restore their relationship. Robert agreed.
Jasper did not state the specific time. After he settled his sister’s issue, only he would have the mood to enjoy.
While for another side, after Robert hung up the call, Sierra approached him.
“Robert, I have received an invitation card. It’s about a charity dinner which I’m personally invited to attend but I don’t want to go out recently. Can I reject it?”
Sierra’s characteristic was gentle and kind. She thought that if someone invited her and she did not want to attend, she must inform Robert about it.
Robert was easy with that.
“If you want to attend, then go. If you don’t want to attend, just ignore it. You can decide everything by yourself in the future, we, as the members of the Simpson family don’t need to engage in social activities.”
However, after Robert said that, he took a look at the invitation card in Sierra’s hand.
He had received an invitation card too recently, it was from the Duran family. The person who took charge of the Duran family now was a young woman. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Duran
family, her name was Sarah Duran.
He never met Sarah before but he heard others saying that she was tactful and had cruel means. She wanted to develop the Duran Group in her country now.
It was rational that she sent the invitation card to him but she sent one more to Sierra personally. ‘Does Sarah want to have a business cooperation with the Simpson family?’
Robert thought in that way while Sierra observed his expression.
During the incident of the attack of the scoundrels, she left at the moment. ‘Robert does not ask me about it, then he might not see me leaving.’ Sierra was then relieved.
Just then, Robert’s phone rang. He took the phone and picked up the call.
“Mister, the DNA report of you and Annie is out.”
