Jane realized she was letting her emotions get the better of her and took a deep breath to calm down. “So, what did the doctor say?”
“The doctor says this kind of genetic disease can only be watched carefully. A real cure is nearly impossible. There’s maybe a tiny chance if we can find matching stem cells.”
“But right now…”
The butler didn’t finish the sentence.
Both Sebastian and Robbie had tested positive for the same genetic issue. The Ratcliff family had no matching stem cell donors at all.
Jane’s eyes narrowed.
Matching stem cells…
Wasn’t this the perfect excuse to push Reese into having another child?
This was about Robbie’s life. There was no way Reese would be able to turn her back when it came down to saving her son.
If that was the case, Reese would definitely agree to have another baby with Sebastian.
And once she was pregnant, Jane could insist that Reese stay home “for the baby’s health.” She could get her to quit her job at BlackOak, too.
That would take care of what Leslie wanted as well.
“Grandma, am I going to die?” Robbie’s small hand tugged at Jane’s sleeve, his face paper-white as he caught on to their conversation.
“Of course not, sweetheart.” Jane brushed his cheek, her voice gentle. “The doctor said as long as we find the right stem cells, you’re going to be just fine.”
“There’s nothing to worry about, Robbie. If your mom gives you a little brother or sister, we can use the baby’s cord blood to help you get better.”
Robbie’s eyes lit up for a second, but then the hope faded.
If that happened, wouldn’t that mean his parents might stay together and not get divorced?
He glanced at the test report in Jane’s hand. As much as he wanted Reese to still be his mom, saving his own life mattered more.
The butler, unable to keep quiet, spoke up. “But ma’am, even if Mrs. Ratcliff gets pregnant, there’s no guarantee the new baby won’t have the same genetic problem.”
