Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 978 It’s Really Genetic Disease

He needed to know if she inherited Trenton Gardner's kidney failure.

If she did, she could be cured if she was caught early. Otherwise, if they dragged it out and couldn't replace a kidney, she must be in trouble.

After all, Trenton Gardner had a peculiar constitution, and he hadn't found a kidney yet.

What if she, too, inherited Trenton Gardner's peculiar system?

Jared was afraid to take that risk, so the only thing they could do now was to catch it early and prevent it early.

Amber laughed at the man's serious expression, wondering what he was worried about. "Sometimes people do get sick, but I certainly won't. Don't forget I'm still taking my health pills. Elias Lansdale gave me a brief health check before I was prescribed. He didn't say anything was wrong with me, which means I was too healthy to be like Makayla Gardner. Makayla Gardner suffered from sudden illness, either because she inherited it from Trenton Gardner, or because she suffered as a child, and I don't have either of those, so I am fine. Don't worry."

She patted the man on his shoulder and told him to relax and not worry too much.

But she did not know that even when she said so, the man was still worried.

Because she was Trenton Gardner's daughter.

"Like you said, Elias Lansdale gave you a brief examination, not a full one, so if anything were to happen, he wouldn't have found it. We'd better get a full checkup." Jared looked at Amber and said seriously. Amber furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, "Why do I get the feeling that you think something's wrong with me? You don't really think there must be something wrong with me, do you?"

She leaned a little towards him, her eyes fixed on the man as if to read something in his face.

But the man hid it so well that there was no strange look on his face.

So, Amber looked at him for a moment, but still saw nothing.

"How could I possibly think you were sick?" Jared put his glass down, then took her hand, "I wish you be healthy more than anyone. I just saw what happened to Makayla Gardner, and I was worried that you might, too. This Makayla Gardner thing really scared me this time."

Jared lowered his eyes and said in an unemotional voice.

He was really scared.

But not by Makayla Gardner, but by what she said.

He really didn't realize that she could have inherited that if she hadn't just started talking about genetic diseases.

Amber stared at the man for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "That scares you? When did you lose your nerve? That's not like you."

"Because I was worried about you." Jared gently touched her face and looked into her eyes and there was something in there that she couldn't read.

Amber was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Do you have to let me do a complete physical examination so you can rest assured?"

She believed that he had asked her for a full physical because he was worried that the same thing might happen to her because of Makayla Gardner's sudden incident.

But somehow, she had a sneaking feeling that something was wrong.

It was as if he did it for more than one reason.

But she could not tell from the man's face whether it was what she thought.

After all, there was nothing wrong with his face but concern for her.

Well, maybe she was overthinking it, and maybe he was simply concerned about her health.

Just as she was worried about his health from smoking.

Relieved, Amber smiled at the man again, "If that's what's bothering you, then let's go."

Jared nodded and smiled when the woman finally relented and agreed to a full physical, "Okay, we'll go in the morning."

He would not rest easy until he knew her condition soon.

Seeing that, Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt warm in her heart.

After her parents died, there were very few people in the world who cared about her.

The three of the Lyon family, plus grandma and Jere and grandpa, made a total of six.

But these six people, with their own families, their own lives, their own busyness, could not pay attention to her all the time. Even at times, it was normal for them not to contact her for more than ten days. So, it was Jared who was there for her that really touched her and warmed her.

Thinking of that, Amber suddenly grabbed him around the waist and curled herself into his arms.

The man paused for a moment, then realized what she was doing, so he smiled and hugged her back. Then he patted her on the back and said softly, "What's the matter? What are you doing it so suddenly?" "Nothing," Amber said from the man's arms, eyes closed but smiling, "I was just thanking you."

"Thank me?" Jared raised his eyebrows, "For what?"

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Amber brushed her head against his chest, "Except for you, I don't think anyone would have thought so much of me."

Jared turned very soft and gentle, "I am your man, and it's my job to do this for you, just like you care about me and worry about my health, I also feel the same, so you don't have to thank me. All right, you haven't eaten much yet. Have some more."

With that, Jared gently pushed her away from him.

That was the first time he had voluntarily stopped hugging her.

After all, he was not a man who would easily stop in the middle of intimacy.

If she approached him, he would never let her go easily.

So, it was kind of rare.

Amber laughed, picked up her fork, and continued eating.

Jared, on the other hand, had lost his appetite and was holding his phone and tapping.

When Amber asked him, he said he was answering Ben some business questions.

Amber did not doubt his words as he looked grave and serious. She ate her meal quietly and didn't disturb him talking business with Ben.

Although she wondered why he didn't talk to her on the phone. But maybe Ben was busy and couldn't talk.

Relieved that Amber's attention had completely shifted, Jared checked his phone.

He had just reached out to Elias Lansdale, asking Elias Lansdale for information about Trenton Gardner's kidney failure, particularly his genetic history.

Jared's lips went straight and his heart sank as Elias Lansdale replied. His hand clenched as if he was about to crash the phone. Even the breath in his body was suppressed. Elias Lansdale said that Trenton Gardner's kidney failure did run in the family, and it ran high, almost one in every three generations.

The last one was Trenton Gardner's great-grandfather.

This discovery was made after Trenton Gardner was first diagnosed with kidney failure and reported to Elias Lansdale's hospital after he went home and did some research. Sure enough, it ran in the family, not one of those random first-generation failures.

Jared bit his back tooth in anger.

He had no idea that there was such a disease in the Gardner family!
