“Put a jacket on, at least. Wearing this little; do you want your body to get even worse? You’re this old now, and getting sick would make both your parents and your friends and family worry. Smarten up.”
Jasper had to shoot an amused glance at Robert.
“Why do I feel like you’ve changed? Fussing worse than an old hag.”
As Jasper said that, he spoke towards Georgia.
“What are you two doing here, Georgia? Have the test results come out? I thought they were coming out at night. It’s not even noon yet. Aren’t you too nervous now, coming to the hospital this early?”
“No, we actually came to see another friend. You know him too. Aston Powell, now also my cousin.”
Georgia smiled and briefly explained the situation with her mother. She hadn’t told Jasper about it yet.
But she didn’t speak about Aston and Kayden, only stating that Aston was sick, in hospital, and her cousin.
“Oh, so you only dropped by along the way. What a sorry bastard I am. My friends aren’t even visiting when I’m in hospital, and only stopping by because they were going to see someone else in the first place.”
Jasper joked, to which Robert could only apologize.
“That’s my fault. I was planning on coming an hour early before the results came out in the pm to talk with you and visit, but since we came earlier in the morning, we decided to come by. We were going to stop at the hospital to see you anyway.”
That appeased Jasper, and Robert finally broached the topic of Selena.
“We just stopped by your room. Why’d you argue with Selena? She wanted me to persuade you to accept the kidney donation and says that your body’s worsening more than normal. I’m not going to force you, but I feel like you’re pushing back too hard. Is there some other reason?”
“There’s no other reason, I just don’t want to. But Selena and my parents are both forcing me to agree. Looking at it, it seems like if I don’t, they’re ready to knock me out, toss me into the operating room and go through with the surgery anyway. That’s why I’m so passed.”
Georgia and Robert were even more confused.
But as outsiders, they couldn’t very well force the matter with Jasper.
After all, they couldn’t really say anything about the burden getting a kidney from Selena would put on Jasper.
Robert could only stay and chat with Jasper, and relieve somewhat of the loneliness from staying in hospital.
The two finally took Jasper and Selena out to M Garden for lunch.
But the siblings kept quiet, and Selena almost didn’t say anything. Jasper chatted about casual subjects with Georgia and Robert, then went back to the hospital after lunch.
In the afternoon, when it was almost six or seven, several reports finally came in from Robert’s checkup.
Naturally, it was because Georgia had put him through a full body check.
Every organ, every important part of the body had a corresponding report, so the results weren’t fully out yet.
Georgia could only wait patiently. She hadn’t even opened the few reports that came out first, instead keeping them in her hand.
Robert stayed by her side all throughout.
They’d thought all the data would be released at around seven.
But the doctor in the hematology department ended up coming out and apologizing to them.
“There’s some data here that I and my subordinates find unusual. Miss Lane, Mr. Simpson, could you wait a while longer? The results we’re looking at are a bit strange, and we don’t know if there’s a problem with the instruments.
“Mr. Simpson, could we draw your blood to check again? I feel like some part of the process has gone wrong.”
The doctor’s words had Georgia going pale. She was nervous as could be, while Robert spoke calmly.
