Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 157~ Brothers

"Jason?" Lora remarked, her eyes widening in shock. "You're the donor?"

Jason nodded, stepping closer to the bed and answered, "Yes, I'm the donor."

Ryan glanced at Doctor Steve and the doctor chuckled, saying, "Your brother came through to have some tests a week ago and the results were ready today. His stem cells are a match for yours, Ryan and he offered to donate and help you with your treatment." ##Flashback to a week ago.##

Jason went to see Doctor Steve to have a medical test. He looked at the Doctor and said, "I'm Ryan's brother and I'm here to check if I can donate my stem cells to him."

Doctor Steve smiled and replied, "That is so kind of you. However, I would like to know if you have any medical history. Do you also have a heart problem like your father? Even if you're a match, you can't donate your stem cells if you have a medical condition." Jason shook his head, saying, "No, I don't. I recently had a medical check-up. I'm as healthy as a horse."

"Then we can have the test. If all goes well, you might turn out to be a match for Ryan Kingsley. The results will be out in a week," Doctor Steve responded.

After they got some cells from Jason, he glanced at the doctor and requested, "Can we keep this between us? I don't want anyone to know that I had done the test. I also don't want to give Ryan false hope in case I'm not a match." Doctor Steve smiled and replied, "Sure. I'll call you when the results are out."

Jason left the hospital, hoping that his stem cells would match Ryan's. Since he couldn't be with Lora, he wanted her to be happy with the man she loved.

Jason had heard that Diane and his father were a match for Ryan's stem cells but they couldn't donate because of their medical conditions. So, he thought since they were half-siblings, perhaps he would also turn out to be a match.
