Bone marrow transplant!
I was taken aback. “Let’s get Jared. Since he’s Summer’s biological father, his bone marrow should be a match, right?”
Ashton nodded slightly and spoke, “I have something to tell you. Jared had been heavily injured in prison earlier today.”
“Did he get into a fight?” I was shocked. Since Jared entered prison, he had been living fine with the Crest family’s support. How did he get beaten up?
“It must’ve been Uncle Zachery. He must’ve gotten someone to beat Jared up as he was upset by what had happened to Summer,” Ashton replied.
I was in a daze—I could not believe it. “Why would Dad think of getting someone in the prison to…” However, when I thought deeper, I remembered how he became very protective of Rebecca when he found out that she was part of the Moore family.
I knew that Zachary was an impulsive person. When he heard that Jared had caused Summer’s illness, it was in his character to beat Jared up.
Soon, I knocked out in Ashton’s arms, likely due to the meds.
I was woken up shortly by a dream of the scene where Renee passed away on the hospital bed. Ashton was not around, and I was worried about Summer, so I went to her ward.
Cameron was there with her. “Why are you here? Go back to your ward and rest. You need the rest now,” she advised me.
I nodded in response while turning my gaze to look at Summer, who was sound asleep. She resembled her mother more as she grew up, though she was pale due to her sickness.
Cameron gestured for me to head back. “Mom, I’m fine. I couldn’t sleep anyway. Let me take a look at her a while more,” I pleaded.
