Whatever It Takes
“What happened to him?” interrupted Sasha.
“I have no idea. Even the top management are joking about it. Do you think it’s because Mrs. George’s
been away for too long? You know. His needs were probably left unfulfilled for too long,” suggested
Luke awkwardly since that was almost everybody’s guess at the office.
Sasha blushed a little when she heard Luke, while Sebastian had trouble believing what the assistant
said.
“Anyhow, I still need you to look into it for me. Who knows, some might have happened in Jetroina that
we’re unaware of. It’s been a while since we last heard from Yamada, isn’t it? Keep an eye out, Luke,”
reminded Sebastian before hanging up.
Luke did as he was told the moment the call ended and found out that there was indeed something
fishy going on. Solomon’s itinerary showed that he was supposed to be flying to Moranta, but instead,
the destination had been changed to Jetroina.
“Mr. Hayes, for some reason, Mr. George is heading to Jetroina.”
When Sasha and Sebastian received the news, their faces immediately hardened.
Since Sebastian had business in Jetroina, he decided to fly there personally. Actually, he did not have
to do that, but he did so for Solomon’s sake.
“Even if you were to meet Solomon there, I don’t think he’s going to just tell you what’s going on with
him. That’s just how he is. The man never opens up to others, so you might have to figure out some
other way to get to the bottom of things,” reminded Sasha.
In response to that, Sebastian said nothing but chuckled instead before heading off. Does that mean I
have to coax him?
After tending to his business in Jetroina, Sebastian made his way to Sinch Enterprise. What the man
did not expect to see there were the panicky looks on the Tsurka brothers.
“Mr. Hayes, to what do we owe the honor?”
“Here, have a seat, Mr. Hayes. What can we help you with?”
The brothers were so nervous that they were sweating all over, for they feared Sebastian even more
than their adoptive brother. To them, not only was Sebastian a titan in the business world, but he was
also a highly respected man in Jetroina.
Seeing how tense the two were, Sebastian raised a brow at them and wondered if it was because
Solomon was not around. “Where’s Solomon?”
“What?” As expected, the brothers were stupefied by the question. “Is he supposed to be coming over
as well? We have no idea.”
So he’s not here after all. Where could he be then? Is he with Haruto?
Sebastian suddenly remembered Haruto since the Jetroinian physician was Solomon’s only friend
there.
Immediately, Sebastian got into his car and made his way to Haruto without even calling first.
Clang!
When Haruto saw Sebastian, he was so shocked that he dropped the stainless steel plate in his hand.
“Why are you so surprised to see me? What happened to him?” questioned Sebastian with a stern
face.
“What? I…” Haruto was at a loss for words, for he could not believe how fast Sebastian managed to
catch on.
In the end, the physician decided to invite Sebastian into the consultation room to tell the man
everything.
Even though Sebastian had always maintained his calm demeanor, he choked on his coffee when
Haruto told him the truth.
“Are you okay, Mr. Hayes?”
After quickly pulling out his handkerchief, Sebastian wiped his mouth and regained composure. “Sorry
about that. So what’s the situation now? Have you figured out what the problem is?”
“We just had the operation yesterday, so the result isn’t out yet. However, I have to be frank with you,
Mr. Hayes. It doesn’t look good. Compared to a normal person, his hematopoietic function is still not up
to standard,” explained Haruto.
“Not up to standard? What does that mean?” inquired Sebastian with furrowed brows.
“The man has insufficient blood cells. I thought the condition was a side effect of his bone marrow
donation and that he could recover from it. But after the operation, I realized that his condition wasn’t
getting any better. On top of that, his kidneys had also been affected, causing him to be deficient in
protein. That is why he couldn’t have children.”
With that, Haruto took out a few medical reports and showed them to Sebastian.
After going through them, Sebastian’s face turned even grimmer. How did it get so serious? Usually,
people would suffer from anemia if they lacked healthy red blood cells, but in Solomon’s case, his
fertility was affected instead. It seems like the poison really did a number on him. This is all that witch’s
fault!
Upset, Sebastian slammed the reports onto the table.
