CHAPTER 19
“She needs adequate rest. And how is the search for a kidney going?” the nurse asked and both Landon and Kimberly were shocked.
“I would need a transplant?” she asked in shock and turned to look at Landon who was as well astonished.
“Oh, my bad. I never knew the doctor never said anything to you.” She said worriedly and Peter shook his head.
“He already talked to me,” Peter responded and all eyes fell on him.
“And you didn’t say a word?” Landon stated in surprise.
“Can you please excuse us?” Peter said to the nurses and they left the ward. Tears rolled down Kimberly’s eyes uncontrollably. She didn’t know what to say.
After the nurses left, Peter turned to look at Kimberly with tears in his eyes.
“You don’t have to worry baby. Everything is settled, you would get a kidney okay? You don’t have to worry.” He said and she shook her head.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Why exactly were you keeping it from me? I need to know why.” She said and Peter bowed his head.
“I don’t want you worrying in this state you are.” He responded and Kimberly shut her eyes. She was hurting but she couldn’t express how much.
“So, do you have a donor?” Landon asked and Peter sighed.
“I wouldn’t advise we talked about that in front of Kimberly. We can move outside to talk about it.” Peter stated and Kim furrowed her brows.
“No, I won’t allow you. Why can’t you say it in front of me? You know I wouldn’t like it right?” she asked and Peter looked at Landon for assistance.
“Baby, please let’s talk about this outside. I will let you know what you need to know okay?” Landon said and Kim shook her head in tears.
“promise me you two won’t do anything stupid.” She said holding Landon’s hand firmly.
“I promise. Nothing of such.” Landon said looking at Peter, who nodded sluggishly with a fake smile on his face.
“We Will be back baby,” Landon added walking out of the ward.
Peter nodded his head at Kimberly accompanied with a warm smile before walking out of the ward too. He met Landon at the door waiting for him.
“So who is the donor?” He asked looking at Peter.
“I am the donor,” Peter responded and Landon’s mouth dropped open.
“What? That is a stupid thing to do Mr. Peter.” Landon stated in shock and Peter shook his head.
“No, it is not. I am trying to save my daughter, that isn’t a stupid thing to do.” He replied and Landon shook his head.
“No, Kimberley would never agree to this. This is a high risk to take. You are young and undergoing surgery now is risky. And how sure are you that the other kidney is functioning well.” Landon said and Peter scoffed.
“you shouldn’t be scared of any of that. I don’t have a second kidney.” Peter said and Landon’s eyes widened.
“what? How did that happen? So what were you thinking of putting yourself as the donor?” Landon bombarded him with questions.
“My joy is to know my daughter is alive and happy. If I die now, I know died for my daughter. Please understand this.” He said and Landon bent down tiredly.
“I can’t let you. It means you are hurting Kimberly even more.” Landon muttered in tears and Peter sighed trying not to burst into tears.
“You don’t have to tell her before the surgery. After few years, she would forget about me and you two would be happy together.” He said and Landon stared into space.
He didn’t know what to say or do.
“what if this is the only option? What if we can’t find another donor on time?” Landon thought.
“you don’t have to think about it so much okay? I have made my decision and it is so fine by me.” Peter uttered.
“I don’t know Mr. Peter. This is a very rash decision, I don’t think Kimberly wants this.” Landon muttered.
“That doesn’t matter. What we want for her is that she becomes fine okay? Let’s not keel discussing this, I believe you understand me.” Peter said and Landon nodded reluctantly.
“Have you told Mrs. Racheal?” Landon asked feeling great pity for her.
“She was there when the doctor said it, and when I told him to take mine. She isn’t bothered, forget about her. That is part of why I don’t want to live anymore.” He said and Landon breathed out loud.
“I am so sorry Mr. Peter.” Landon compensated.
“It’s fine. All you have to do to make me happy is to make Kimberly happy. Then I will be pleased with you.” He said and Landon nodded.
“so what do I tell her?” he asked.
“tell her that we have someone already. Someone she doesn’t know, who wants to donate cos of the money.” He said and Landon nodded.
They both walked into the ward and met Kimberly’s eyes shut.
“I think she is asleep,” Landon whispered and Peter nodded.
The door of the ward opened and the doctor came in looking all sweaty.
“Congratulations, we found a donor.” He said and Landon and Peter exchanged looks
“Who is it?” they questioned each other.
