Mr. Cook was so upset after one visit to the former Apple chief executive's home that he offered to give a part of his liver to Mr. Jobs. 

Steve Jobs had suffered cancer since 2004 and by 2009 needed a liver transplant. Mr. Cook found that they shared the same blood type.

But it was not to be – Mr. Jobs refused directly to even consider the proposal. "Almost before the words were out of my mouth. ''No', he said, 'I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that.'" said Mr. Cook.

"I said 'Steve, I'm perfectly healthy, I've been checked out. Here's the medical report. I can do this and I’m not putting myself at risk, I'll be fine.'

"And he doesn't think about it. It was not 'are you sure you want to do this?' "It was 'no, I’m not doing that!' He kind of jumped up in bed and said that. And this was during a time when things were just terrible. "Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them."

Mr. Jobs - who was opposed to operation - went on to have a liver transplant in March 2009. He resigned as Apple chief executive in August 2011 and died in October at the age of 56.
