Chapter 65 How Could He Have Terminal Cancer?
Sion Carroll was a little gloomy, and upset and displeased that was inexpressible.
But under such a situation where it had happened, reality didn’t permit him to think otherwise.
After all, he had slept with Nevaeh Burns last night…
He felt sorry to her, so he would be responsible for her no matter what would happen in the future.
Besides, Nevaeh was the one he always wanted, wasn’t she? Ever since she saved his life in the earthquake the year, he has been telling himself to spoil her for life.
Contemplating the staff moved the divorce agreement in front of him, Sion hid the emotion in his eyes and slowly picked up the pen.
At this point, his phone suddenly rang, which interrupted the process.
Being brought up short, he stopped his signature.
Hearing the phone ringtone, Aurora Robertson’s eyelashes quivered for an instant. Then she saw Sion set his pen aside and choose to answer the phone first.
She frowned unconsciously, wondering why he couldn’t sign before he answered the phone.
Nobody expected that the sound of Ariana Knowles’s crying would come out as soon as the phone went through.
“Sion, your dad… he suddenly became badly ill and was in hospital now! I… I need you to come here now!”
At those words, Sion’s face suddenly changed and he stood up at once.
And Aurora also heard clearly Ariana’s words standing beside Sion. She immediately opened her eyes widely and felt her heart was put in her throat!
“What happened?”
Sion shot her a look with a sort of clouded face, “I don’t know. Let’s go to the hospital first.”
“OK… But…”
Aurora realized that they were going through their divorce proceedings in court.
However, Sion didn’t give her time and turned on his heel. Seeing his departure, Aurora had no time to do anything else and immediately kept up with his pace after apologizing to the staff.
…
Outside the emergency room of the Halberk Central Hospital,
Ariana looked at Sion and Aurora hurrying up, and she struggled to stand up.
“Sion, Aurora…”
“Ariana!”
Promptly supporting Ariana’s body and making her sit on the nearby chair, Aurora helped her wipe off the tear on her face.
Sion frowned and gazed at Ariana’s pale face. He asked in a low voice, “Ariana, what happened?”
“I don’t know.” With tears coming uncontrollably, Ariana gripped Aurora’s hand, which seemed to make her feel supported.
“He collapse suddenly and was sent to the emergency room as soon as we got to the hospital. The doctor hasn’t come out yet…”
“How long has he been in there?”
“An hour and a half.” Staring at the lights on in the emergency room, Ariana’s sight was blurred, “What… what should I do if something happens to him?”
“It won’t happen, Ariana.” Aurora sat closer to Ariana to allow her to lean on her shoulder and consoled, “He’s going be fine.”
She gave Sion a pretended casual glance when she said these words to Ariana.
Although Sion seemed to be calm and collected, the sadness and worries in his eyes had given him away. So Aurora knew that he must worry about his father.
Even if his relationship with his father was sort of indifferent. But the man who was in the emergency room was his real father.
Sion, Aurora, and Ariana waited outside the emergency room. Although Sion was a doctor in this hospital, he had to wait outside because he was patient’s family.
The minutes were ticking away. Half an hour later,
the lights in the emergency room finally went out!
With the emotions of tolerance and misgiving in his eyes, Sion quickly stood up.
Noticing the doctor was coming out of the emergency room, Aurora helped Ariana to her feet and walked her to ask the doctor.
“Dr., Is my father all right?”
Sion looked at the doctor wearing a mask in front of him. He didn’t know him well, but he thought he had met him in the hospital.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
That doctor didn’t show a look of relief. He looked at Sion, then also looked at Aurora and Ariana, finally, he shook his head at them.
Seeing the doctor’s movement, Ariana could hardly stand. If Aurora hadn’t held her hand tightly, she would have fallen down to the ground.
“The patient’s diagnosis is advanced HCC. For the time being, it’s not life-threatening now. But his families need to prepare mentally, ’cause the condition… isn’t good.”
“Advanced HCC?”
Sion’s voice was so deep and helpless, which made others feel depressed.
The doctor nodded silently. After a long time, he added, “The cancer cells have spread around the body. We’ll develop a treatment plan as soon as possible, but… his families should be mentally prepared.”
After finishing the diagnosis, the doctor left.
His words weren’t blunt, but everyone could understand what he wanted to say… Bailey Carroll’s condition wasn’t good, and he won’t be much longer.
At this moment, Ariana lost all her strength and power and could hold on any longer.
“How could… how could he have Advanced HCC?”
She was all tears, looking up to see Aurora and Sion in front of her.
“He… he was planning to retire when you have a baby, then he can stay home and help you take care of his grandchild!”
“How could…”
“He hasn’t waited to see you and Aurora have a baby yet…”
Aurora’s heart was broken by Ariana’s murmuring, and her eyes became red.
HCC…
She had never expected this kind of horrible illness would happen to her family.
She had been regarding Bailey as her real father for so long.
And he had always supported her since she married Sion.
Was she going to lose her second father?
Aurora couldn’t help herself looking at the man standing there without any movement.
It seemed that Sion remained his calmness. However, no one knew that his heart seemed to be crushed by a boulder, and he almost couldn’t breathe for that sense of instant suffocation…
