Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter 325: I Love You

The day for Payne to receive bone marrow transplantation was imminent.

He had changed into a hospital gown and Mrs. James was by his side.

"Payne, don't be nervous. Nothing will happen," Mrs. James comforted him, but her son remained silent.

Looking at her son's thin cheeks, she couldn't help curse Grace again.

"If it weren't for that kindhearted person whose bone marrow matches yours, Grace would have almost killed you."

Payne seemed to be annoyed.

"Mom! Stop!"

"What's the matter with you?

Mom loves you. Why are you yelling at me?"

"Mom, stop scolding Grace like that."

"Why can't I scold her? She doesn't care about her family at all."

Mrs. James hated her daughter from the bottom of her heart.

It had been proven that she was wrong about Grace's identity back then. That girl was indeed her daughter.

However, after knowing the truth, Mrs. Jane still treated her son differently from her daughter.

After all, she raised her son from his childhood, so she was closer to him.

As for Grace... At the thought that she took away the entire property of the James Group after returning to S City, Mrs. James couldn't help loathing her. The property should belong to Payne.

In addition, she had pleaded Grace several times, but that girl refused to donate her bone marrow to her brother. In Mrs. James' view, Grace was an extremely cold-blooded person who didn't care about her family.

However, at this moment, Payne's mind was a mess.

He had already seen a glimmer of hope, for someone was willing to donate bone marrow to him. He wouldn't die, nor would he risk losing his life at any moment.

He should have relaxed, but as time passed, he became more restless.

The paramedics had informed him that the anonymous donor was about to start donating bone marrow.

He reached out and pulled the nurse's sleeves.

"Wait... can... can you tell me the name of the kind person who donated the bone marrow?"

"Sorry, that person is unwilling to reveal his name." The nurse smiled kindly and continued, "Don't worry. You will be fine. Just take good care of yourself." With that, she turned around and left.

Payne was even more upset. Mrs. James noticed that her son was a little upset. She thought that Payne might be too worried.

"The paramedics have said that you should rest assured.

"Son, don't think nonsense. Mom will always be there for you."

As she tried to persuade him, Mrs. James thought of something that made her sad.

"Jafar is really a bastard. His son is going to have the bone marrow transplant surgery, but he did not even show up.

Perhaps he is having a good time with his mistress. I hope he dies miserably..."

Hearing Mrs. James' curse, Payne became more agitated. He suddenly got up from the bed and was about to leave.

"Son, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Jane chased after him.

Payne walked faster and faster.

"Wait for me."

Mrs. James took her valuable handbag and chased after him.

However, Payne started to run and he bumped into the nurse he met just now.

"Wait a moment! Take me there!" he roared in a low voice,

"Please take me to the operating room where the surgery will be carried out."

He looked flustered. The nurse seemed to be frightened. "Take your hands off me first. The donor is unwilling to reveal his name."

"Please take me there, okay?" Payne's tone softened and he pleaded.

The nurse was a little swayed, but she still shook her head.

Payne refused to let her go. "Is the donor my sister? Her name is Grace."

He wasn't stupid. How could there be such a coincidence? His sister had just come to see him, and then a donor appeared that day, whose bone marrow successfully matched his.

These days, he kept deceiving himself that things were not what he thought. The donor must be someone else.

However, he had noticed that things were too coincidental.

He wanted to survive and pretended not to know anything, but he would recall his sister's words every night.

He asked his mother to bring over a locked diary. He opened it and looked at the contents.

The diary recorded the childhood of Grace and him that he had long forgotten.

The handwriting was childish. At that time, he didn't even know all the Chinese characters. He gave phonetic transcriptions of some words, and a few sentences he wrote were even incomprehensible. In an adult's view, the contents of this diary were funny and childish.

However, they reminded him of the past.

His daily life was recorded in the diary. Sometimes, he was jealous that Grace got praise from their grandfather again. Sometimes, he would record what books Grace read and what movies she watched... After reading through the whole diary, he suddenly realized that he had recorded every event he had as a child, and Grace was always by his side.

He still remembered that Grace told him when they were young, he once helped save her from gangsters.

He looked at the diary of that day, which read: Today is my happiest day, for I protected my sister. It turned out that protecting my sister would make me so happy. From now on, I will always protect her.

The writing blurred, for his tears had fallen onto the paper. His heart wrenched with pain when he looked at the oath that he would protect Grace and make her happy forever. He regretted throwing away this diary at will after he had discord with Grace.

"My sister only has one kidney. She can't donate bone marrow to me."

Payne continued, "Please take me there. I won't force her to donate bone marrow to me anymore."

The nurse looked at Payne's pale and haggard face. This man had been greatly tortured by the illness. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt sympathy for him.

Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice rang out from behind him.

"It's a good thing that you still remember that Grace is your sister. I am relieved that you still care about her."

When Payne heard the familiar voice, he was shocked. Then he looked up and murmured, "Caden..."

Wearing a cold look, the man stood three meters away from him. He then asked, "Where is your ward?"

"It's..." Payne wanted to answer, but he suddenly remembered that Grace was taking the risk to donate bone marrow for him. "Caden, you came at the right time. Grace is about to donate her bone marrow. Hurry up and bring her out!"

Mrs. James was dumbfounded.

At first, she was confused, but then she slowly understood what was going on.

A sense of guilt engulfed her, but when she looked at her son's haggard face, she reached out and held his hand.
