Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
My aunt is actually in a critical condition? But wasn’t she fine when I left the country five years ago? Why is she suddenly in a critical condition?
But Sandy wouldn’t lie to , I trust her on this.
Nurous questions and shock lingered in my mind. I suppressed my grief and put down the phone with trembling hands.
At that mont, my two kids Nicole and Winnie, walked out of the room one after another. Both of them looked sleepy, but it was the attentive Winnie who noticed that my mood wasn’t right. “Mommy, what’s wrong? Why do I feel like you’re about to cry?”
I sniffled and held back my tears. I held the two kids’ shoulders and said, “Mommy suddenly has sothing on and needs to go out. You two stay at ho and take good care of yourselves. There’s milk and oatal in the cupboard. Warm it up and eat it, be good.”
“Mommy, don’t worry!” Nicole blinked her big eyes at .
Fortunately, both my kids were very sensible, allowing to settle my matters with ease.
I quickly changed my clothes and when I opened the door, the tears that I have been holding back finally fell from my eyes.
Ever since my mother passed away, my aunt was the family mber that treated the best. In my heart, she was just like my mother. When my stepmother and stepsister bullied , it was always my aunt who protected .
But now, my aunt’s life was in danger. She has taken care of since I was young, but I didn’t even know how she had spent the past five years. A huge wave of grief engulfed , making it hard for to breathe.
No more delays, I told myself. Luna, you’re the best doctor in the world, and you’ve brought countless patients back from the dead. Our top priority now is to hurry to the hospital and find a chance of survival for my aunt!
When I raced to my aunt’s ward, the whole family was looking at .
My father, stepsister Shana, her stepmother, Vela, and aunt’s daughter, Sandy, were all gathered around the bed. At this mont, the person lying on the bed had a respirator placed onto her face. She was on the verge of death, as if her life was slowly draining away.
Shana crossed her arms before her chest and deliberately ridiculed with a cold snort. “Aunt is already so ill, yet you’ve only co now. How heartless!”
Father also looked at with disgust, as if I were his enemy and not his daughter.
I didn’t have the ti to deal with them. I quickly walked to the bed, squatted down, and held my aunt’s hands.
My aunt turned around and looked at with a pair of cloudy but gentle eyes. She said with difficulty, “Luna, it’s great… to see you before I die…”
Before she could finish her sentence, my aunt started coughing. She looked weak and uncomfortable.
“What’s going on here?” I frowned anxiously at Shandy.
Five years ago, my aunt was still very energetic. It had only been five years, how did she beco so sickly and withered?!
Sandy wiped her tears and answered in a hoarse voice, “After you left the country, Mom found out that she had late-stage liver cancer… She refused chemotherapy and only relied on dicine to survive until now…”
Aunt was actually in the late stage of liver cancer?!
However, liver cancer was not an incurable disease. At least to , there was still a chance to completely cure it!
“Why didn’t you tell ?!” In a mont of desperation, I practically shouted these words.
Seeing that I had lost control of my emotions, Sandy also started to cry. She explained, “Mother didn’t want to tell you. She was afraid that you would worry…”
However, if she didn’t tell , she was depriving herself of the best opportunity to cure herself!
I gritted my teeth.. Just as I was about to tell them that my aunt could still be saved, my father’s angry shout interrupted . “That’s enough! Parsi only has this little bit of ti left! She didn’t leave it for you to repent!”
