Chapter 89 The Cost of Protection

All Sean wanted was for Mommy to get better as soon as possible.

Baron looked at his son and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

“If your mommy knew what was in your heart, she’d be really proud of you. But I can’t go against her wishes. If I really used your skin, she’d never forgive me.”

“Daddy, isn’t that why you brought me and Susie here in the first place? For Mommy’s skin graft surgery? Susie’s a girl she can’t have scars. But I’m a boy. I can take it. As long as you don’t tell Mommy, she won’t know.”

Sean’s words made Baron hesitate.

He had planned to go out and search for a compatible donor. But Natalie’s condition was deteriorating. If they couldn’t find a donor in time, the risk of infection – even death — was very real.

It wasn’t a hypothetical.

And yes, part of the reason he’d brought the kids from the island… was exactly for this.

“Daddy, don’t hesitate. Go ahead and test me and Mommy. I won’t stop you from going to find another donor, but at least have a backup plan. What if something happens while you’re away and she needs an emergency graft?”

Baron sighed. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, the boy had a point.

He crouched down to look Sean in the eyes.

“Skinning someone hurts. A lot.”

“I’m not afraid. My life belongs to Mommy. What’s a little skin compared to that?”

Sean’s gaze was steady, shining with clarity and determination – and that moved something deep inside Baron.

“…Alright. I’ll run the test on you and your mom right now. And if it’s a match, I swear I’ll do it in a way that doesn’t hurt you too much.”

“I trust you, Daddy.”
