“I knew you were sick, so I came back for you. I’ve tested for it. I can donate my kidney to you. The surgery will be arranged right away. From now on, you won’t have to languish under sickness anymore. Once the surgery is complete, you’ll still be the young master of the Holland family, and still be my bright shining star of a big brother. I don’t want to see you in this tortured state anymore. That’s why I came back.”

At Selena’s words, Jasper’s expression was quite shaken.

He looked at his sister, momentarily struck with emotions too complicated to voice.

He’d really been the most angry because he’d thought after all the concern he’d devoted to her, she left just like that, as if she didn’t even see him as her big brother. As if she cared nothing for family.

Or, perhaps, that it was only one-sided, that the deep sibling care that he had for her was never reciprocated by her, so she could leave on a whim.

But at this moment, knowing he was sick, Selena had come back to endure his wrath all just to donate a kidney to him.

Jasper fell silent for a long while.

“I can actually buy a kidney from the black market. I don’t want yours. It’s healthier to have two kidneys. I don’t want you to suffer. Do Mom and Dad know about this? Tell them I don’t agree.”

Selena suddenly stood, bending over to hug Jasper on the bed.

“You’ve been so good to me, big brother, but I could never pay you back anywhere. Now you’re sick, and I’m healthy. Even donating a kidney to you won’t affect my body that much. And don’t worry, from now on, I’ll train my body well. I’ll eat three regular meals, and I won’t torture myself. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be responsible for your meals too from now on, until your body checks come back completely normal, and you develop good habits again…”

Selena wept as she spoke, her hot tears dropping onto Jasper’s neck. He felt burned, and for some reason, a strange emotion starting roiling inside him.

He didn’t even dare reach out to hug her back, and suddenly didn’t know what to do about the situation. It was eerie.

She’d never been this intimate with him before.

Jasper thought it was a bit strange, and felt a little awkward as he finally pushed Selena away.

“You’re hugging me too tight; I can’t breathe.”
