“That is also a good idea.” There was no other way in this situation.
Jeffery and Eddie had joined forces to be completely ruthless. Even if Loredana was pregnant, they could still get her in.
At this moment, Maxina walked in supported by medical staff.
Cormac looked at the doctor who followed her and asked, “How is she now?”
“All of the tests are done. We will not be able to make a treatment plan until the results come out.” The doctor said. He wanted to say more but hesitated, as if he was worried about Maxina, and then said, “Let’s discuss this outside.”
Maxina sat on the bed without speaking. She knew her condition.
Cormac followed the doctor outside. After making certain that Maxina couldn’t hear them at all, the doctor said, “The patient’s condition is not optimistic. If she has a strong desire to survive, there are some medicines that can be used as treatment even right now. It might take long, but it won’t harm her body that much. It should be no problem for her to live for a few years, if she… but I think her attitude is comparatively negative.”
The doctor was not afraid of the patient’s illness, but he feared that the patient was going to give up and not have the will to survive.
“Thank you. I understand. Then I will leave her treatment in your hands.” Cormac said slowly. He was afraid that Maxina had this attitude because seeing Garrett die had made her let go the hatred in her heart and she didn’t have much desire left to live.
This doctor was quite young and had studied abroad for many years. He specialized in terminal illnesses. He looked young but was very capable. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, “Of course, this is what a doctor should do. The director is also taking special care for this matter. We will definitely do our best.”
He paused and then said, “I have other patients to see, so I will take my leave first.”
Cormac nodded. After the doctor left, he stood in the corridor not returning to the ward. Instead, he bowed his head and pinched between his eyebrows. Maxina’s attitude made him very uneasy. Her son died and she avenged him by killing Garrett. But had she ever thought about Loredana?
Loredana was also her daughter. She followed her through so many hardships, now that she was relieved of her pain, had she ever thought about what was going to happen to Loredana?
Cormac thought that Maxina was too selfish and thought only about herself, not about her daughter.
He let out a heavy sight, then turned and walked into the ward.
Maxina’s complexion seemed sick, her figure was skinny, her eyes were sunken, looking dim and lifeless.
Seeing Cormac walk in, she pulled a smile on her face, “Thank you for not letting Loredana know.”
Cormac looked at her, “Do you still care about her?”
Maxina was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t expect Cormac to suddenly say such a thing, “She… is my daughter. Of course, I care about her.”
Although, Cormac was dissatisfied with Maxina’s behavior, he still couldn’t disrespect her because she was Loredana’s mother. “If you still care about her then cooperate with the doctor for treatment and stay with her for a few more years. Don’t make her sad.”
“She is living quite well now…”
“If her mother dies, would she still be able to live well?” Cormac interrupted her and asked.
Maxina opened her mouth but then swallowed whatever words she was about to blurt out.
“I hope you can live well for her.” After saying that, Cormac turned and left the ward.
Boyce looked at Cormac’s back, probably knowing what the doctors had said to him. He comforted Maxina, “He has been busy lately and has a lot of things to do. Don’t take offense. However, he is right. For your daughter, you must actively cooperate with the treatment and spend more years with her. I think you also think the same way, right?”
Maxina said nothing. Indeed, she felt that it didn’t matter if she was alive or dying. She had already avenged her son.
As for Loredana, who had suffered a lot in her past, Cormac treated her very well now. Loredana was definitely going to have a good time in the future, so she had no regrets.
“I am tired.” Maxina didn’t want to talk anymore.
Boyce naturally knew that this was her way of telling him to leave. He was an outsider and had no choice but to leave first.
There was a nurse for her there. Maxina had someone to take care of her, so Boyce just left.
Cormac left the hospital and went to the company. After parking the car, he received a call from Armand.
The video that was circulating online of Loredana killing had been controlled already. Several media outlets who had posted the video had been held accountable. For a matter that the police hadn’t even released any evidence for, they came to the conclusion by themselves which constituted civil liability for spreading rumors. Also, several people who specifically attacked Loredana with hate comments were also taken to court.
“The results will be out today.” Armand vowed solemnly.
Cormac was very satisfied with this speed. He stepped into the lobby, “They must be asked to apologize publicly and issue a statement.”
“I know. The court session will start soon, I will hang up the call first.” Armand’s voice came over.
Cormac lowered his phone and Abbott hurried over.
“Jeffery and Eddie are here.”
Cormac didn’t seem to be surprised. His steps remained steady as he walked into the elevator. Abbott followed him into the elevator and stood besides him, “They are in the reception room right now, will you meet them?”
Cormac curled his lips and asked with a cold smile, “Why won’t I meet them?”
Abbott said carefully, “If they are coming here, they must be trying to force you.”
They didn’t catch Chloe, did they have a way out seeing them?
Cormac didn’t explain himself, he only said lightly, “Do your work.”
Abbott stopped, then he turned around and went towards the office area, clearly he couldn’t help in this matter, so he would go and do the work he was good at.
Cormac opened the door to the meeting room, the moment he opened that door, the sun shone through the window at him, who was wearing a black suit.
Jeffery and Eddie were sitting and chatting on the black genuine leather couch, when they heard the door open, they turned to look, Cormac was lit up by the sunlight, they couldn’t see his face expression clearly, but they could see that this tall figure must be Cormac.
The two of them went quiet.
Cormac stepped towards them.
Jeffery spoke, “Have you thought about it?”
The reason he was there was because Eddie went to fetch him, he said that since this was already done, they needed to solve it soon.
It was obvious that he mentioned first for Chloe to marry Cormac.
Eddie had agreed, if he backed out now, it wouldn’t be fair to his friend.
And just like Eddie said, they didn’t have a way out anymore.
Eddie just received a call, he knew that Cormac had sued the media that were spreading the news about Loredana being a murderer, he didn’t dare to interfere anymore, he was afraid that Jeffery might get a clue, so he could only ask Jeffery to talk to Cormac.
It wasn’t really talking to Cormac, but more like pushing him.
Cormac sat down on the sofa, he crossed his legs elegantly, his calm eyes were on Jeffery, without any emotions.
When Jeffery met Cormac’s eyes, he stunned, this kind of distanced and calm look made him uncomfortable, he had said that uncountable times already, but he was going to repeated once more, “This is for your own good, why is she acting in collusion with Victoria? You are her husband, if she thought about you, she wouldn’t have put you in this tough spot, don’t you think?”
