Chapter 316
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 316<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat \u2026 do you mean?\u201d Payne was surprised. Grace turned around. He quickly grabbed her arm tightly and said, \u201cDid you really find a donor?\u201d<\/p>\n
He stared at Grace nervously. Grace lowered her eyes when noticed Payne\u2019s nervousness, anxiety, and hope.<\/p>\n
The hope of survival.<\/p>\n
She smiled and answered, \u201cYes, I did. You won\u2019t die.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pulling his hand away, she seemed to have made up her mind.<\/p>\n
When she walked to the door\u2026.<\/p>\n
She smiled at him. He would never forget that smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cPayne, stay strong and enjoy your life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, the door was closed.<\/p>\n
Payne didn\u2019t even have time to say \u201cthank you\u201d.<\/p>\n
The next moment, he called Mrs. James excitedly, \u201cMom, I\u2019m saved! I won\u2019t die!\u201d<\/p>\n
He was overjoyed.<\/p>\n
Mrs. James couldn\u2019t believe it. She kept asking, \u201cReally? Who is so kind?<\/p>\n
I must show my thanks to the donor.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll call your ruthless sister. She actually refused to save you!<\/p>\n
Even a stranger was willing to do it.<\/p>\n
She should be guilty!\u201d<\/p>\n
Payne blushed. He said with embarrassment, \u201cMom, don\u2019t do that. Grace found the donor for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. James was surprised at first. Then she said, \u201cWhatever. She is not the doctor. She found a donor for you just because she doesn\u2019t want to donate her own bone marrow.<\/p>\n
Do you think she did this for you?<\/p>\n
She did this for herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Payne\u2019s face turned even redder. \u201cMom, I\u2019m tired. I must hang up now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not long after, his attending doctor came and told him that he could have a bone marrow transplant.<\/p>\n
Payne hesitated for a moment, but he didn\u2019t ask who the donor was.<\/p>\n
The doctor only said, \u201cYou\u2019re lucky. From today onwards, I\u2019ll prescribe antibiotics for you as preoperative preparation. You have to take this. After your body indexes return to normal, I\u2019ll arrange an operation for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctor added, \u201cI need to talk to your family. The result would come out one month after the operation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss James, are you sure you want to donate bone marrow?<\/p>\n
Although a person with only one kidney, medically speaking, can still live.\u201d The nurse in charge explained to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who lack a kidney usually have poorer health and can\u2019t lift heavy things. They would easily get exhausted and suffer from some symptoms.<\/p>\n
You should know those symptoms beforehand.<\/p>\n
It is said that human body can regenerate bone marrow. The bone marrow is like leeks and will grow again.<\/p>\n
But your health condition\u2026. Before donating, you need to be injected with growth factor for four to five days in a row. We will collect hematopoietic stem cells. Then normally the donor will have a fever for one to two days.<\/p>\n
But your condition is special.<\/p>\n
Moreover, surgery can fail, and the collection of hematopoietic stem cells is not entirely safe. There is still a small risk. Although it is small, it can\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, your condition is indeed unusual.<\/p>\n
Miss James, are you sure you\u2019re going to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. I\u2019ll take responsibility for any consequences.\u201d She picked up the pen and signed her name on the donation letter\u2014Grace Shaw, the name on her ID card.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t your surname James?\u201d The nurse was surprised.<\/p>\n
Grace said indifferently, \u201cMy grandfather\u2019s surname is James. I have changed mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse was puzzled\u2026.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
When Grace returned home, she saw a man at the door.<\/p>\n
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she resisted the urge to leave and walked to him. \u201cI know you have called me and texted me.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said slowly.<\/p>\n
He stared at her with his dark eyes. \u201cOK,\u201d he said in a low voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you call me back?\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cYou broke your words first. You agreed to let me think about it, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Why was he here?<\/p>\n
She meant he bothered her.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t deny that.<\/p>\n
His eyes still dark, he asked,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did you go?\u201d<\/p>\n
But she was too naive.<\/p>\n
Caden, you made my heart beat again, and then you pushed me to hell.<\/p>\n
You wanted me to stay by your side for the rest of my life, but you were still selfish and bossy like before.<\/p>\n
You never changed!<\/p>\n
And you never would!<\/p>\n
The man who cooked for her every day was a liar!<\/p>\n
The man who warmed her feet every day was a liar!<\/p>\n
The man who kept saying \u201cyou mean the world to me\u201d was a liar!<\/p>\n
\u201cLiar!\u201d At the entrance, she said sadly.<\/p>\n
He was a liar!<\/p>\n
It was his plan!<\/p>\n
His care and love were part of his plan!<\/p>\n
He never changed. In his eyes, this was just a game. Only he had the right to say \u201cstop\u201d.<\/p>\n
He was acting. He was mocking at her.<\/p>\n
Now that she had done what she should do, she could relax and have a good rest.<\/p>\n
In the dark night, her eyes were filled with despair and exhaustion\u2026. She was just so tired.<\/p>\n
Vivian arrived at Grace\u2019s as scheduled. Grace poured a cup of hot water for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe James Group is on the right track now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRecently you have been working hard for me.\u201d Grace took out an equity gift letter and handed it to Vivian.<\/p>\n
\u201cSign your name.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivian picked it up in confusion. She sat straight and scanned it. After a while, she said seriously, \u201cYou\u2019re going to give me 5% of James Group\u2019 shares?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSign it. You deserve it. You know me well. Once I make a decision, I won\u2019t change my mind easily. If you refuse it, I\u2019ll donate all the money to the poor in your name.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you doing this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace chuckled. \u201cI won\u2019t give it to you for free. I hope you can continue working for me and help me earn more money.\u201d<\/p>\n
After all, she knew Vivian well. Her words dispelled Vivian\u2019s doubts. Vivian heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and took out a pen to sign. \u201cI\u2019ve signed it. Don\u2019t regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace grinned and shook her head, \u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1521","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
