Dexter thought about it for a moment. He was open to the idea now that he knew it would not kill him. However, he
still had some reservations.
"Why don't you and your wife give your liver to her? Didn't you say that you love her?" he asked.
"Neither of us is a match. An immediate family member has the highest pairing success rate, so we came to talk to
you," Jack said.
"I'll think about it." Dexter was still a little scared. He was worried that they were lying to him.
If he gave Leia his liver and died from it, it would not matter how much money he had.
Luke noticed his hesitation and said coldly, "Leia is not doing well. If you need more time to think about it, we might
not need you later."
Dexter was shocked. Leia's life or death had nothing to do with him.
However, if he hesitated and Leia died, he would not get any money.
Dexter gritted his teeth, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay. However, I want to sign an agreement with you. If the
transplant fails, you'll still pay me. If the matching fails, you'll also still pay me 10 percent of the money as
compensation for my time."
"No problem," Jack agreed.
"Also, I want this number." Dexter stretched out five fingers. "Seven digits."
'Five million?'
He had no shame.
Luke's gaze was cold. He did not agree to his terms. "What you're asking for is five times the black market price. It
seems like a better option for me to buy from the black market. At least I would have a guarantee of the success of
matching."
He just wanted to frighten the man in front of him and prevent him from demanding an exorbitant price.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, they would never buy organs from the black market.
Dexter was stunned after hearing what he said. He frowned and replied, "Isn't the best chance with immediate
family members?"
"It's possible as long as the blood type is the same. You used to drink alcohol all the time and that has had a great
impact on your liver. Maybe we'll find something wrong with your liver during the examination and the transplant
can't happen. Even then, we'll be at a loss since we still have to pay you 10 percent of the money." Luke used his
business skills to start bargaining with him.
The risks he mentioned may indeed exist.
Dexter was an alcoholic. His liver may have been damaged by it.
"In that case, I want this amount. Seven figures." He frowned and raised a finger. He asked them for a million.
"200,000 dollars. If the transplant happens, we'll add 50,000 dollars for the aftercare. If the matching is
unsuccessful or your liver has problems and the transplant can't happen, we'll give you five percent of the sum as
compensation. Otherwise, that's the end of this conversation," Luke said.
Ordinary people could get 200,000 dollars from a year of working. They were being generous with their offer.
Dexter calculated in his heart. If the transplant succeeded, he would get 250,000 dollars.
250,000 dollars was enough for him to last for a long time. He could even use this to build a good relationship with
Leia. Maybe she might even take care of him in the future. He was happy with the offer.
He clapped his hands, nodded, and said, "Deal. I want a ten percent deposit. I don't want a check, I want cash."
"No problem. Someone will pick you up for a check-up at the hospital tomorrow. After signing the agreement, ten
percent of the money will be given to you." Luke agreed on Jack's behalf.
The amount was close to what they agreed on.
"Love the efficiency, tsk tsk. If Leia had gotten together with you, that amount would be much more. Tsk, what a
dumb girl." Dexter knew a little about Leia. After all, she was his biological daughter.
He was always on the lookout to see if there was a way for him to make money from her. As such, he knew all the
stupid things Leia had done in an attempt to get together with Luke.
If they had gotten together, he would not have to live in the shelter now.
Luke's expression darkened. He and Jack looked at each other.
After the matter was discussed, there was no more they needed to discuss with Dexter. Hence, the two left directly.
After half an hour, Jack returned to the Norman family's residence.
Queenie was waiting anxiously in the living room. She wanted to follow them to the shelter but was stopped by Luke
and Jack.
They said that the place was not suitable for her.
Queenie had no choice but to wait at home.
When she saw Jack walk in, she quickly stood up to greet him. "Dear, how did it go? Did you find Dexter?"
"We found him. Tomorrow, Luke's men will send him to the hospital for a liver function test and a matching test."
Jack noticed how anxious Queenie was and sighed.
Leia did not deserve Queenie's kindness.
That girl was cruel and ungrateful.
She was a remake of Dexter...
"That's good. I hope the matching goes well so that Leia doesn't have to suffer anymore," Queenie muttered. She
noticed that Jack did not seem like he was in a good mood. She asked, "Were there any issues when you were
there?" "Dexter wouldn't dare to cause trouble. Money is all he cares about. Luke settled it straight away. If the
match is successful and the transplant goes through, I'll give him 250,000 dollars. I've discussed this amount with
Luke so that I can avoid being caught by my political enemies. He'll pay the money for me first. I'll include some
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminterest to pay him back after I retire," Jack said.
"It should be the vase..." Queenie nodded, 250,000 dollars was not too much.
After all, Leia's current treatment costs had accumulated to more than one million.
The Norman family was still getting by comfortably.
"We have Luke to thank," Queenie said as she hung Jack's coat on the hanger. "He's heading home?"
"The kids are waiting for him at home. He left after sending me back. Tomorrow, Dexter will go to the hospital.
Maybe he'll meet Leia. You should stay home. Leave it to Luke's men," Jack said. Dexter was not a good man, so he
did not want Queenie to meet him in case he triggered her.
"But... I'm worried about Leia..." Queenie said reluctantly.
"Why are you worried about her? She's lucky to have someone to give her half their liver. You can't handle Dexter.
He's a horrible man. Listen to me. Stay at home and don't go," Jack said. He and Luke thought the same.
"Okay..." Queenie frowned. She thought of how Leia resisted Dexter's liver that morning...
"Will the hospital tell her who the donor is?" she asked worriedly.
"I don't know. The hospital will follow the standard procedures. It's useless to worry about so much. Leia isn't stupid.
If the matching is successful, she should be able to guess who's the donor." Jack analyzed. From Queenie's question,
he knew that Leia was unwilling to accept Dexter's liver.
"Uh..." Queenie was worried.
"Luke will find a solution. We have a good son-in-law..." Jack could not help but sigh. In the car, Luke told him that he
would take care of everything so that he and Queenie did not need to worry about anything.
Leia resisted their goodwill, but she was also afraid to die.
If she insisted on being stubborn, he was more than happy for her to suffer for two more days. After that, she would
most definitely agree to their plan.
However, Luke had his terms.
After Leia recovered, Luke requested for him and Queenie to not intervene in whatever came next. He wanted her
to tell him the truth about what happened.
