“No, he didn''t. It''s him. He''s the one who revealed Leia''s secrets to the press and ruined her life back
then," Jason assured him. After all, he was in the know of this matter.
Johann shook his head and said, "They say even tigers would look after their cubs. Leia''s father is
more vicious than a tiger. What a misfortune to have such a father."
"Dr. Park, what''s wrong with you? Are you starting to feel sorry for Leia?" Jason asked teasingly.
"She doesn''t deserve my sympathy after everything she has done in the past. But having a father like
him..." Johann heaved a sigh. Someone worth one''s sympathy was also worth one''s detest. It was
probably what it meant.
It was a misfortune for Leia to have such a father. However, everything she did and all the pain others
had suffered because of her was detestable too.
"But she has a pair of foster parents who were kind to her. To be fair, she''s much happier than the
others," said Jason. However, Leia did not know how to appreciate and protect what she had now. That
was why she ended up like this.
"You''re right!" Johann agreed with him. Not every orphan was able to be adopted into such a wealthy
family.
Although Leia was born miserable, she grew up much happier than the other kids who were born in
their biological families.
After the nurse taught Dexter how to fill the form, she brought the information, walked toward Johann,
and said, "Dr. Park, the form is filled. He can pay for the medical bills now, then he can proceed for the
medical examinations."
"Let me take it. I''ll be paying the bills." Jason took the form from her and headed to the payment
counter.
"Let''s go. Bring him to do the check-ups," Johann said in azy tone.
Then, they brought Dexter to the examination room.
There were many examinations to do on him. Considering that Dexter might be suffering from
malnutrition as he had been homeless for such a long time and was addicted to alcohol in the past.
Hence, other than having apatible blood type and liver anatomy, aprehensive assessment of
his health had to be done too. They would have to check if his liver was functioning properly ande
up with a conclusion to see if he was suitable for a liver transnt.
Dexter was able to jump the queue for several examinations because of Johann. It only took them half
an hour to finish all the examinations.
The next thing was to wait for the results.
Dexter sat on the bench in the hospital, waiting for his results. He could feel the uneasiness building up
in him. After all, 250,000 was much more than 20,000.
He was hoping that he could get that 250,000 without threatening his own life.
However, Johann told him that his past experiences and habits might have affected his liver functions.
That was why he told him not to be too positive about it.
"Uh..." Dexter spoke to Jason.
Jason looked at him and asked, "Mr. Shaw, what''s the matter?"
"I''d like to meet that girl," said Dexter. He did not have sympathy for Leia, but it was normal for a father
to see his daughter, right?
Besides, it was Leia who gave Dexter the chance to make so much money. That was why he wanted to
see how Leia was doing now.
Jason shook his head and rejected him without a second thought. "No."
"Why?" Dexter frowned. He was still carrying the bag and refused to let go of it.
"Ms. Norman refuses to see you," Jason told him the truth. There was no need to ask Leia about it.
Jason knew she would certainly be unwilling to see Dexter.
After all, Dexter was the one who ruined her reputation. Judging from Leia''s personality, she must hate
Dexter.
Leia could even go as far as poisoning Queenie, who was always so kind to her. She was heartless.
That was why her hatred for Dexter would never fade as time went by.
Moreover, Jason also knew that Leia refused to have Dexter''s liver.
"I''m her father!" Dexter argued querulously.
"If you want everything to go smoothly, it''d be best not to see Ms. Norman now. She can''t handle any
emotional shock now," Jason said in a stiff voice. He could not see the feelings and affection a father
should have for his daughter in Dexter''s eyes.
Even though they were in such a situation now, all Jason could see was greed.
Leia was no more than a cash cow to Dexter.
"Fine. How much longer do I have to wait for the results?" Dexter kept thinking about the 250,000
dors.
"Dr. Park is rushing them. Please wait." Jason nced at the time. He reckoned that it would take at
least another half an hour for the results to be released.
Dexter fell silent again.
Half an hourter, Johann brought the medical results with him and came to them.
Jason stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Does he qualify for a liver transnt?"
"Why are you more concerned about this than he is?" Johann seized the chance to make fun of him.
Jason was not concerned about it. It was because Luke would have to find someone else if Dexter was
not able to go for the transnt, and Jason would have a lot of things to follow up with.
Who would like to handle troublesome matters? Jason rolled his eyes and said, "Looking at you, it
should be a yes, right?"
“Yes. Leia is lucky enough. The screening results reveal that he''s healthy enough to ept the
transnt. He can proceed with the hospital admission." Johann went straight to the point.
Dexter, who stood beside him, smiled with satisfaction and asked Jason for the money, "Can you give
me the remaining 50,000 now?"
"Here you go." Jason took a stack of cash out when he noticed how eager Dexter was.
Many people were walking down the corridor. Dexter quickly took the stack of money, stuffed it in his
bag, and said, "Don''t you know you aren''t supposed to let others see this?"
"You wanted it so badly." Jason was rendered speechless. How would he dare to give it to himter
since he was so anxious about it?
Johann shook his head helplessly when he saw the greedy look on Dexter''s face. Then, he handed the
patient admission form to Jason and said, "Come on. Let''s go to the ward."
"I''d like a private ward." Dexter did not forget about that. He was carrying so much money in his bag. It
would be unsafe if he were to share the room with the others.
"I''ve got it all arranged. Let''s go." Johann led him to the in-patient department himself.
Jason headed to the payment counter and queued up with the patient admission form in his hands. He
informed Luke about the news.
Luke replied to him: [Don''t let Leia find out who the donor is.]
[Noted.] Jason replied. After he paid the bill, he came to Dexter''s ward. Johann was standing at the
door while a nurse brought the hospital gown, water bottles, and other necessities.
The nurse even got him a fresh bouquet as he was staying in a private ward.
Dexter picked up the hospital gown happily, strolled to the bathroom, and said, "I''ve never worn such
new clothes before..."
Jason and Johann were at a loss of words when they heard what he said.
"Done with the admission procedures?"
"Yeah. Should I pass the form to you or the nurse?" Jason asked.
"Give it to the nurse. She knows what to do." Johann crossed his arms in front of his chest and replied
in azy tone.
"By the way, don''t tell Leia who''s the liver donor when you inform herter," Jason reminded him of
what Luke said.
"Leia''s not dumb. She''ll figure it out." Johann narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have something in
mind.
"Don''t take the initiative to tell her, then," replied Jason.
"It''s troublesome to help Luke to do things." Johann looked at him. "Don''t you think so?"
"But you''re still willing to help him, huh?" Jason handed the form to the nurse who had just finished
tidying up the ward and said to her, "I''ve already paid for the admission fee. Just call the phone number
written on it if there''s not enough money in his bank ount. Don''t ask him toe here himself."

"Luke''s an interesting man," said Johann.
