Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 383 The Torment of the Past Year

Jason’s expression had an unfathomable struggle written across it.

“Selena and my parents went behind my back and set a surgery date for this weekend. She’s 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 don’t want Selena to donate a kidney for me. I don’t want it…”

He repeated several times and Georgia understood.

Selena was planning on donating her kidney, but as her big brother, Jason didn’t want her to.

Jason spoke up again.

“You are siblings. Why would you refuse her kidney? Isn’t it normal for brother and sister to help each other?”

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.

“Selena is my little sister. I know that a person can survive healthily after donating a single kidney, but I don’t want her to suffer. There’s been news on the black market. I don’t want to put Selena through such a thing.”

Jasper was also looking at it from a brother’s perspective. He didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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.

“Didn’t you say you were starving to death waiting for us for so long? Let’s go out and eat. You’re probably going insane cooped up in hospital.”

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 Garden’s boss came over to greet them personally and took their orders before leaving.

After that, Jasper turned to Robert curiously.

“Jason didn’t explain things clearly over the phone. Why are you going for a full body checkup, Robert? You didn’t fall ill out of nowhere like me, did you?” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

At that, Georgia and Jason’s faces both changed. Robert himself, though, was calm.

“I didn’t jinx you, right? Can’t be, you fell into bad luck along with me, then?”

Jasper looked at Robert, itching to know what had happened.

Georgia briefly explained Robert’s experience of being experimented on in human lab.

“We don’t know if it’s serious or not, so we have to go for a full body check and see if there’s any issues. I hope the report come up with no problems.”

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 wouldn’t be good.

Jasper spoke pityingly towards Robert.

“I can’t believe it. You too. Look at me. Not even thirty yet, no children, no wife, and I’m almost dead. Thankfully, in the 21st Century, this sort of disease is salvageable. If it had been in ancient times, I’d be waiting to die, and no matter how much money I have, it’s 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.”

Jasper’s positivity had Robert smiling too.

“Looks like my luck’s a bit better than yours, though. I’m almost thirty now, and I have a wife and children. Even if something happens with my body, I can die with no regrets.”

That had been a teasing remark towards Jasper, but Georgia’s face sank as she pinched Robert’s arm.

“What kind of talk is that? Can’t you read the room?”

Jason and Jasper started laughing.

“Seems like Robert, once a man among men, has fallen to his wife. Tsk tsk tsk…”

The two teased, while Georgia’s face went red with embarrassment.

She was just too sensitive and consciously got angry and fearful from Robert’s words.

“When are the results coming out, then?”

Jasper asked concernedly, and Georgia turned to him, replying.

“Maybe tomorrow afternoon. I hope it’s not a huge issue when the results come out.”

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 couldn’t delay too long outside.

On the way back, Robert saw Georgia’s tense expression and hugged her to him, his tones soothing.

“Don’t be afraid. I already checked it up with you. If anything is the issue, we’ll face it together then. No matter what, I’ll do my best to live on and stay with you and Annie.”

Georgia forced a smile and broached another important question.

“Since Jayson’s gone and Sierra’s in our grasp, what about your mother and Wesley? When are you going to pick them up and take them back?”

“I’d wanted to take them today, but then we went to the hospital. I’m also afraid that something’s up with my body, so I didn’t take them back today. Let’s wait until tomorrow. When the results come out tomorrow, I’ll put them in the mansion. I’m just afraid you won’t be used to it.”

Robert didn’t 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 she’d be furious with Georgia, saying all sorts of vicious, toxic things. That worried Robert a little, and he didn’t know where to put his mother.

As for Wesley, he was his son, after all. He couldn’t put him somewhere unfamiliar just for Georgia and Annie. He was planning on taking Wesley back.

He just didn’t quite have the nerve to ask Georgia about it.

With his male instincts, he’d 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 he’d thought of for the moment.

“Let’s have your mother stay in the mansion for now. It’s easier for security. As for Wesley, I get a feeling of closeness from him. It might be from a previous love, but we weren’t in a relationship back then, and I won’t mind.”

Robert felt like Georgia was being too generous, which made him feel like something was off.

But as a man, it wouldn’t 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 wasn’t okay with Robert’s mother. But she also knew that Robert’s body could develop issues at any time right now. Even if they were small issues, she was still worried.

So she couldn’t help but soften up and cherish every minute they had instead of squabbling over Robert’s mother.

It would be such a waste of the time they had gotten back to be together.

After all, they’d 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.

“I know you’ve 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?”
