I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 221

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!”
