Chapter 244 Ernest Johnson's Decision!
When Kyle heard that, he quickly chimed in, "My mom is right! Let's sell Ryder's kidney. Even though he's useless, his kidney should fetch a good price."
Sarah frowned and defended Ryder. "You guys are going too far. How could you say that?"
Karen, irritated, retorted, "Shut up, you little brat! What do you know?" She then turned to Josh with a flattering smile. "What do you think?"
Josh rubbed his chin and nodded, "Kidneys could work, but at the current black market price, one kidney goes for $100,000, so both of his kidneys would be $200,000. How will you make up for the rest of the money?"
A hint of bitterness flashed in Karen's eyes as she continued, "Ryder has corneas and a liver, right? They should also fetch a good price!"
This conversation shocked Sarah and surprised Dominic’s family. They knew Karen looked down on Ryder and harbored a deep hatred for him. However, they didn’t know she hated him this much.
However, they had no sympathy for Ryder.
Because in their eyes, their own lives were more important, especially in such a life-or-death situation.
If sacrificing Ryder, that waste, meant it would save their own lives, that would be the best outcome.
Dominic also chimed in, saying, "I support my second sister's decision!"
Josh, who witnessed this scene, smirked with amusement and said, "Great! I agree with everything you said. But even if you sell all the parts on your body, you can only get a maximum of $500,000. That leaves $500,000. How about you guys decide among yourselves who should package and sell their parts?"
"Huh? Um..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
It didn't matter if bad things happened to Ryder.
But absolutely under no circumstances could anything bad happen to themselves.
Josh's cold gaze fell on Dominic and his family.
Dominic felt a chill down his spine and quickly shouted, "Josh, I'm already in my forties, I’m almost fifty. I smoke and drink regularly, and my organs have been in bad shape for a long time. They're practically worthless. Don't look at me!"
Ruth quickly followed up, saying, "Me too! I... I was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer last month. It has spread, and no one would want my organs for free."
As for Herman Simmons?
Josh didn't even bother to give him a second glance.
After all, he didn't expect that idiot to say anything!
When Karen saw Josh's gaze on her, her legs began to weaken, and she trembled, saying, "I'm older than Dominic, so I'm practically worthless. You should find someone younger!"
Josh nodded, his gaze cold, and asked, "How about this? Choose one of your children to survive, and we will sell the other one’s parts, which I can value at $500,000!.
"Huh?"
Karen suddenly froze and asked, "Josh, can we do something else?"
Josh shook his head decisively and said, "It's one of the two choices. Otherwise, you're dead!"
When Kyle, who was nearby, heard that, he immediately shouted, "Mom! Why are you hesitating? I'll definitely survive because I'm your son, the child you love the most!"
Karen was first stunned, then she nodded and said, "Right! I... I choose Kyle to survive!"
Then, feeling a bit guilty, she glanced at Sarah and said, "It's not that I'm being heartless, but I have no other choice. I have to make this decision!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Sarah looked at Karen and smiled self-deprecatingly, asking, "Mom! I want ask you a question. I know I can't compare to Kyle in your heart, but still, there should be limits.
Karen glanced away and said, "What's the point of talking about this now? Besides, both you and Kyle owe your lives to me, so in a way, I have the final say. We can only choose one, and I’ve chosen the one who’s more important. I don't see anything wrong with that!"
Kyle chimed in, "Mom is right! Stop being so self-absorbed, Sis! There are some things Mom won’t say, so I’ll say it. In Mom's eyes, you’re not even as good as my little finger! And after you die, the SR Group that’s under your control will eventually fall into my hands according to the inheritance order. Ha! I didn't care when I was just a marketing manager under you. But now, I’ll become the CEO of SR Group!"
Sarah looked at Kyle in disbelief. She never imagined he would utter such unforgivable words. After all, Sarah had taken care of him since he was young. She had stood up for him when he was bullied in school, used her pocket money to cover his expenses, and even hid the trouble he had gotten into. Over the years, Sarah had developed a protective nature towards him. But what had she gotten in return? When faced with life and death, he had said those hurtful words. It was beyond heart-wrenching.
However, what hurt Sarah even more was Karen's lack of rebuttal to Kyle's words. She seemed to silently agree. Sarah had once blindly believed that this family would get better and that her efforts would lead to success and recognition from everyone. But in the end...
Feeling desolate, Sarah remained silent in the corner. After a long while, Ernest, who had been quiet, took a deep breath and said, "If it’s possible, I’ll replace Sarah. Is that okay?"
This statement came as a surprise to everyone. After all, Ernest was known to be timid and afraid of trouble. He was overly cautious about his health, rushing to the hospital for even minor ailments and getting medical check-ups twice a year. He was afraid of losing his life. No one expected him to step up for Sarah at this moment.
Karen frowned and shouted, "Ernest Johnson! Have you gone crazy?"
Ernest seemed unusually calm and determined. "I'm not crazy! I realized a long time ago that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a father to Sarah. If I can do something for her in the end, it will be worth it." After speaking, he turned to Josh and said, "Leave my daughter alone! If you need anything, come at me!"
