I've Been There Before

Chapter 221 The Truth as it Is

The bedroom was quiet.

There was a dead silence and the atmosphere was a little scary.

Suddenly!

“Son, what did you ... say?

Mrs. Grace opened her eyes wide and looked at Payne expectantly, expecting that she had just misheard what he had just said.

Payne pursed his lips, “I have been diagnosed with leukemia.”

His lips were pale ... Although the doctor said that it could be treated without any major issues, but he knew clearly in his heart, the best way to get rid of the disease was to get a kidney transplant.

Mrs. Grace could not stand it, and her body trembled. She barely managed not to fall over by leaning onto the wall beside her,

Standing by the side, Jafar was reading the three report sheets that Payne had left behind, and looked up in the middle of the day and asked.

“What's up with these two blood matching reports? How did you get a sample of me and your mother?”

Payne looked up abruptly, looking incredulously at the face in front of him that bore a resemblance to his own, someone who he was very familiar with, “Dad! I've got leukemia! At this point, you're not concerned about my health, but on how did I get your samples and the blood matching report!"

Mrs. Jane rushed over, “Son, son! Don't get agitated, how could your father not care about you."

Jafar knew that he was being unreasonable, so he quirked an eyebrow, “I'm asking about this report form because your mother and I haven't had this type of compatibility test before, something doesn’t make sense.”

Payne clenched his fist, “Didn't you and mom both done your semi-annual physical examinations last week? I asked a friend to keep an eye out of you guys.”

Jafar understood. He wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, “Why are you sneaking around? You can just tell us; do you think that we wouldn’t have gone through the medical test just to help our own son?”

“Your father is right, would we put up with our own son suffering?"

Payne, now feeling only bitterness, closed his eyes. His fists clenched tightly, and then opened his eyes abruptly.

"If I didn’t take your samples and entrust someone to check it, how can I be sure that when you guys go and have a compatibility test, you guys won’t be selfish and refuse to save me and not try to use some methods to change the result?”

“Payne, Payne James, what are you talking about! You're the only son your father and I have!” Mrs. Jane looked at her son in front of her in shock, her ears still reverberating with her own son's accusations ... This is her son! How could she be seen that way by him!

“Payne, how can you say that about your mother and father? Are Mom and Dad so selfish in your eyes, that they won't save their own flesh and blood?”

Mrs. James was in tears, but Payne was unmoved and sneered.

“Isn’t it the truth? Aren't you guys selfish?

What about Grace?

Isn’t Grace your own flesh and blood too!

Didn’t you guys don’t care about her too?”

“That’s, that's ...”

“What's that? That's because the Shaw family is too powerful and you were forced to abide to Caden’s threats, right?”

Payne looked at Mrs. James with a sneer, “How dare I trust you?”

Suddenly a wind produced by a fist hit towards him, “How dare you!” Jafar looked at him fiercely.

“Jafar, Jafar, don't beat him, don't beat him!” Mrs. Jane, distressed for her son, quickly stood in between the father and son to prevent the father from fighting with him.

“Payne is sick! He's also anxious, its leukemia! What do you want him to do? He's just a kid, he hasn't had his own family yet, and he's facing death, how can he not be anxious? It’s not like he acts like nothing happened!

Jafar! Payne is our son, our only son!”

Jafar took a deep breath, “Payne, you shouldn't think about your parents like this, your mother and I are your parents!”

Payne gritted his teeth and no longer spoke back, as if he was thinking of something. Then, he looked up and immediately asked him, “Dad, you must know where the Grace is, right?”

He looked at his biological father in front of him full of hope.

Jafar pursed his lips and did not speak.

Payne reached out and grabbed Jafar's sleeve, “Dad, the only one who can save me in our family is Grace. Please tell me where the Grace is!”

“What are you babbling about, you haven’t check if she is compatible with you or not, how do you know she'll be a successful match?”

Jafar asked.

Mrs. James helpfully said, “That's right. It's not possible that she will be a successful match for you even if you find the Grace.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jafar waved his hand, “It's late, you go home and rest first, I'll use my connection with others to find you someone compatible to donate a kidney for you tomorrow. There are so many people in the country, there is no way they can’t find it? If there is none in our country, we will search for it abroad, dad will save you.”

“Payne, don't stay up late, listen to your father, go back to sleep first, a big matter like this, mom and dad will sure help you.” Mrs. Jane was heartbroken for her son, but knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she could only let her son rest first and not use any more of his body and energy.

She stretched out her hand towards Payne.

“Grace can really save me! Grace was confirmed to be a successful match! Grace is the only one who can save me!" Payne understood what his father was saying, but he didn't dare risk it.

Kidney sources were plentiful, but what if, what if there wasn't a match for him?

He didn't understand why his father didn't seem particularly nervous when he had such a serious and terrible disease.

Payne shouted agitatedly, “Grace left a sample at the blood bank when she was eighteen, and she told me that if there was anyone in the world who had a disease that happened to be a successful match for her, she would be willing to save someone's life.

Grace compatibility, I ... I have already checked from the big database. Only Grace can save me, and she is my biological sister.

Dad, tell me, where is Grace?"

Mrs. Grace, who was standing at the side as white as a sheet of paper, suddenly became agitated and said, “Impossible!”

“What’s impossible? Mom! Do you want me to be cure of or not!” Payne asked eagerly.

“Impossible ... In this world, how can there be such a coincidence?” She did not believe it, she did not believe it, she did not believe it!

“What do mean by a coincidence? Grace is my sister, the chances of being able to match up successfully between relatives are normally high.”

Payne could not understand what does his mother's abnormal behavior now means, it is too weird.

‘Payne!” Mrs. James suddenly reached out and grabbed Payne's clothes with a firm grip, “Are...are you sure?”

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

“Mom, what's wrong with you?”

“Grace, Grace is not my daughter.” Mrs. Jane's face was pale, and after saying this, she seemed exhausted and collapsed softly on Morpheus.

“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!”

“It's true. Grace is not my daughter, you do have a sister, but it’s not her, when I gave birth, it was a natural deliver. At that time, I was conscious, a girl was born, and there was a nurse who was responsible to clean up the new baby. When she was done, I asked her to hold the baby girl for me to see, my daughter whom don’t have a mole on her sole, but Grace have a mole on her right foot.

I don't dare to tell anyone, I thought about taking her to the hospital for a DNA test, but your grandfather loves her so much, and she was brought up by your grandfather since she was little. She is already smart at a very young age, if I do take her there, and when your grandfather knew it...

Your grandfather didn't like me in the first place.” She was also afraid that if she did have a DNA test, people might find out and speculate indiscriminately about what she was doing with another man.

“She's a girl anyway, and at the time I thought that it wouldn't affect you. Then she got herself in, and I was kind of glad that I didn't stop her."

Payne was startled.

Suddenly, there was a snort of smugness, “You're too presumptuous, do you think that my father is a person who would raise someone else’s granddaughter?” Jafar said while standing on the side.
