Kevin returned to the hospital room with Jasper’s test results. Bradley was still unconscious, andEsther sat in a chair, tightly holding his hand.

Esther looked up. Kevin was reluctant to tell her the truth, which was reflected in her reddened
Jasper’s liver was not a match for Bradley’s transplant, an expected outcome.
“Jasper’s liver isn’t suitable either. But don’t worry. We’ll keep searching.”

Kevin had mixed feelings. He thought perhaps things would not be as smooth as they had hoped. Afterall, it was a liver! Finding a suitable one for transplantation was truly difficult.
