Bone marrow transplant!
I was taken aback. “Let’s get Jared. Since he’s Summer’s biological father, his bone marrow should be a match, right?”
Ashton nodded slightly and spoke, “I have something to tell you. Jared had been heavily injured in prison earlier today.”
“Did he get into a fight?” I was shocked. Since Jared entered prison, he had been living fine with the Crest family’s support. How did he get beaten up?
“It must’ve been Uncle Zachery. He must’ve gotten someone to beat Jared up as he was upset by what had happened to Summer,” Ashton replied.
I was in a daze—I could not believe it. “Why would Dad think of getting someone in the prison to…” However, when I thought deeper, I remembered how he became very protective of Rebecca when he found out that she was part of the Moore family.
I knew that Zachary was an impulsive person. When he heard that Jared had caused Summer’s illness, it was in his character to beat Jared up.
Soon, I knocked out in Ashton’s arms, likely due to the meds.
I was woken up shortly by a dream of the scene where Renee passed away on the hospital bed. Ashton was not around, and I was worried about Summer, so I went to her ward.
Cameron was there with her. “Why are you here? Go back to your ward and rest. You need the rest now,” she advised me.
I nodded in response while turning my gaze to look at Summer, who was sound asleep. She resembled her mother more as she grew up, though she was pale due to her sickness.
Cameron gestured for me to head back. “Mom, I’m fine. I couldn’t sleep anyway. Let me take a look at her a while more,” I pleaded.
It was the reality. In the face of death, those with money could extend their life, even if it’s only for a day. On the other hand, those without money were only left with one choice—surrender their life to fate.
“Mom, did you hand over all the projects of J City to Nick?” I asked as Nick came to my mind.
She nodded. “Most of the projects of J City are from the Harrisons. His father passed not long after I got married to him. Nick was still too young at that time, so I had to take over the management of Cruise Corporation. Since Nick has grown up, it’s only right for me to hand the business over to him. Why did you ask suddenly?”
I stared into a blank space, thought for a moment, and told her, “When Summer’s situation starts to stabilize, I plan to bring her to J City to help with her recovery. The weather there is more suitable for recovery compared to K City, so she might recover faster there.”
She processed that thought and nodded. “Okay. Zachary and I will let the doctor know. We’ll transfer her to J City and arrange for her surgery to be performed there once we’ve found a suitable donor. Zachary and I could retire in J City too. However, Fuller Corporation is doing very well now, I think you should talk about this with Ashton too.”
