I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 223

The following day.

In the hospital.

"Mr. James, your son doesn’t need to change his kidney." The doctor explained to Jafar.

"In Mr. Payne's case, he needs someone to match his bone marrow. He doesn’t need a kidney transplant."

Jafar listened and waved his hand.

"Then find someone who can match my son’s bone marrow."

There was an unmistakable trace of impatience in the doctor's eye.

"Mr. James, you haven’t known what I mean. There were millions of people in our data, but if you want to have a successful bone marrow match, there were several conditions, one of which is to find his relatives, and relatives were more likely to match his bone marrow."

Mrs. James did not speak at all. She and Jafar might have a hidden problem from now on.

"You and your wife don’t match with his bone marrow," said the doctor, looking up hesitantly at Payne. "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Payne's face changed momentarily, but he was silent and taciturn.

Mrs. James's eyes were sour, and her well-maintained hand pressed gently against her nose. She hung her head and said nothing.

Watching his wife and son, Jafar grew upset.

"It is not a terminal disease. Why look so upset!"

Mrs. James suddenly raised her head. The eyes that had been lively in youth were still charming even in old age. But the eyes that were charming to her husband now glared fiercely at him whom she had always admired.

The doctor had heard something about the James family.

He was an expert of leukemia, and the patients he had contacted include those from the rich and powerful circles, or friends of the media. After hearing about the James family, he hesitated to ask if he still had brothers or sisters.

But now, looking at the family's different faces... The doctor warned himself that it would be better not to provoke such a feud, and said at once.

"Well, we will be actively looking for a bone marrow match with Mr. Payne, and you can mobilize your relatives and friends to come to the hospital for a check-up.”

“Actually, the success rate of match between non-relatives was not high. But in 2006, there was also an exception. A teacher successfully donated his kidney bone marrow to a child.”

“That was hard to say whether Payne would be so luckily. But... Don't get your hopes up. If... If you have any family members in the family, as them to get a match."

What the doctor said was true. The James family were not stupid. Payne's lips were white.

"And, Mr. Payne, from now on you will have to go through the hospitalization formalities. In your current situation, you have to get chemotherapy, and during that period of chemotherapy, it would be great if you could find a successful bone marrow donor."

"Chemotherapy?" Mrs. James, who had not spoken, screamed, "Doctor, Payne won’t have chemotherapy. He can't get chemotherapy."

The doctor looked at the woman who grasped his wrist, and frowned, "Mrs. James, calm down, and let go of your hand."

Mrs. James then let go of her hand gripping the doctor's wrist, said with panic, "Doctor, Payne can’t have chemotherapy, resolutely not!”

"Mr. Payne's present situation would be serious if he doesn't receive chem. Chemotherapy is not terrible..."

Before the doctor finished, Mrs. James retorted excitedly.

"How could that not terrible! My nephew died because he can’t get through the chemotherapy!" Then she spoke with great firmness.

"In short! Payne would not accept chemotherapy!"
