Shane pulled a chair and sat down. "Tell me honestly, since your return to Canada, how often have you been smoking? How much alcohol and coffee did you drink?"
"I..." Yvonne opened her mouth when she heard his questions, but she was speechless.
When Shane saw her like that, he knew what the answer was. He was angry and distressed, "I knew you didn't do what I told you to."
"I'm sorry, Shane."
"What's the use in apologizing? You’re only hurting your own body." Shane pointed at her.
Yvonne lowered her head. "I don’t know what else to d o. I want revenge and I have so much hate in me. I can't live a normal life until I get revenge. Every time I think of Jacqueline and Henry, I can't sleep. I can't calm down. I can only calm myself down by smoking and drinking. Do you get it?"
"I understand, but your body..."
"It'll be okay, don’t I still have another kidney?" Yvonne smiled and pretended like everything was okay.
Shane could not smile at all. "You do still have another kidney. People who have only one kidney won’t die, but their health will eventually deteriorate to the point that they can’t even do tasks that require very little strength. Besides, your other kidney is transplanted so your health will only deteriorate even faster."
Yvonne's face went pale for a second. "So what should I do now? My kidney is already in its end-stage."
"You can only change your kidney." Shane looked at her seriously.
Yvonne was shocked. She then broke into a smile, " Where would I get a kidney transplant? You know..."
"Dominic, or Jacqueline." Shane narrowed his eyes.
Yvonne was startled,."What did you just say?"
"Organ transplants between bloodlines have a low rejection rate and a high adaptation rate. Dominic and Jacqueline are related to you, so their kidneys might b e a match," Shane said.
Yvonne bit her lower lip with her teeth. For a long time, she could not calm down.
She didn't expect Shane to consider those two people.
"You don't want to?" Shane asked Yvonne when he noticed that she was not speaking.
Yvonne's mouth moved. "No, I'm just thinking that they may not be a match. My condition is completely inherited from my biological mother, so Dominic may not be of any help at all. As for Jacqueline, we have the same father but we have different biological mothers. So the possibility of being a match is very small." "I understand, but it's not impossible. Let’s run a test o n Dominic first. As for Jacqueline, she won’t be able to escape a death sentence if she gets arrested. We can run a test on her before her execution. If she turns out t o be a successful match, the organs of executed prisoners can actually be donated in accordance with the law." 1
After Shane said that, he looked at her to seek her opinion.
Yvonne was silent for a while. "If I don’t get a kidney transplant, how many years can I live after my health starts deteriorating?"
"No more than ten years, and you’ll be living in pain," Shane replied earnestly.
Yvonne closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I understand. Let’s proceed with your advice."
If she could live for more than ten years, it did not matter if she found a matching donor or not, because b y that time, Theo would be an adult already.
But just ten years would not suffice. Theo would only b e fifteen years old after ten years, she would not be ready to go just yet.
What if Henry married another woman and gave birth to other children?
She wanted to live and be Theo's support. She would never allow anyone to take anything that belonged to
Theo.
"It's good that you agree. You can get someone to send Dominic here secretly." Shane smiled with relief when Yvonne finally agreed with him.
Yvonne nodded and took out her cell phone to ask the two guards who were watching Dominic to tidy him u p and bring him over.
"Okay." After the call, Yvonne put down the phone.
