“Perhaps due to her years of hardship and homelessness, Robyn’s health has deteriorated significantly,”
Tara continued. “I looked into it, and Robyn quit her job and began seeking medical treatment the moment John arrived in Sharnwick City.”
“The total cost of her surgeries for her various organ failures has already exceeded several million dollars.”
“However, there are still many unresolved health issues, and she needs to continue with surgeries and treatment.”
“The recent surgery she had probably cost around three to four hundred thousand.”
“As a token of gratitude, I gave them a $50,000 bank card, hoping it would help a little.”
Bethan sighed quietly. She couldn’t believe Robyn’s health was in such bad shape based on her appearance.
After Anne’s death, it appeared that John’s life had also been extremely difficult…
With this in mind, she asked Tara, “Help me think of a way to compile a detailed medical history for Robyn.”
“I have a well-known general practitioner as a friend.””
Perhaps she can assist.”
Rachel had treated many diseases related to organ failures while treating patients in a vegetative state, if she remembered correctly. Perhaps she could assist John and Robyn in their time of need.
“Alright, I’ll ask my assistant to send the information to you now.”
After thinking for a while, Tara agreed to share the information with Bethan. She was aware of how close Bethan and Anne were when Anne was still alive and she understood that Bethan was trying to make up to John and his daughter.
However…
After a slight pause, she looked at Bethan, “I heard John and Robyn are living together and Robyn is helping John to take care of his daughter now. Legally speaking, Robyn is John’s sister but she’s not his biological sister…”
While she was talking, she closely observed Bethan’s expression.
“As Anne’s best friend, are you sure you are okay with it?”
Honestly speaking, she was not trying to create any trouble intentionally. She was just afraid that all Bethan cared about was making up to John and did not consider what could happen when a non- biological brother and sister lived together.
Giving Bethan Robyn’s information could actually harm Robyn, instead of helping her. After all, Bethan was willing to killa person for Anne. There was no guarantee at all that Bethan could not control her emotions and felt unhappy one day when she realized the relationship between John and Robyn.
Bethan did not answer the question immediately. After a moment of silence, she looked at Tara. “I know you mean well asking that. It’s just that…”
She continued talking after smiling bitterly, “I think Robyn is a good person and I think John only treats Robyn as his sister. Even if he has other feelings for her…”
It was followed by another moment of silence.
As she raised her head, she said, “Even if he has other feelings for her, I’m still willing to help Robyn if Robyn treats Sammie well and helps Anne to take care of John and Sammie.”
Because of her selfish actions, Anne lost her life. She could not bear to take away John’s happiness again because of her own feelings. More importantly, she believed that would be what Anne would do too.
If she died without any notice in the future, she hoped Brettley would meet a nice woman to replace her in taking care of her children and Brettley. Thus, she was in no place to criticize the relationship between John and Robyn.
Of course, she would be disappointed if John and Robyn were together because it was only half a year since Anne passed away. Theoretically speaking, she could understand it but as Anne’s friend, she would feel sorry for Anne.
Then again, everything happened because of her, so she had no right to judge or criticize John.
Tara remained silent and thought hard after hearing that. After a while, she exhaled deeply and said, “Alright. I understand it now.”
While they were talking, the elevator reached the top floor of the hospital, the floor where Andy’s ward was.
Since Tara knew where the ward was, she walked in the front and led Bethan to the ward.
Meanwhile, Andy was chatting with Gwen and Stefan in his ward.
He held Gwen’s hand and said, “I have no idea you two have been through so much. And I also have no idea…that Luke actually could come back alive after his death.”
As he talked, he looked to the side to glance at Stefan.
“When will your brother wake up? As Gwen’s father, I really want to thank him. Without him, you’ll never be here today. Gwen will continue to live with sorrow and regrets. And I will He sighed and continued, “Your brother is really our savior. I wish to thank him personally.”
Stefan smiled bitterly, “I also wish to do that. But I can never talk to him face to face.”
As both of them shared the same body, neither could talk to each other face to face.
When they were in their mother’s body, they were the closest brothers. However, they had never met each other after they were delivered. Until the day, Steven was arranged to take over Luke’s body.
Never ever again, they would have the chance to meet each other now.
And that was the biggest regret Luke had in his life.
Stefan had a disappointed and sad look after saying that.
In order to console him, Andy smiled and gave him a suggestion. “Even if you can’t see him personally, you can still communicate with him. Technology is so advanced now. You can use your phone to take a video to record what you want to say to him. Then when he appears the next time, we can tell him you left him a message on the phone and he can do the same to reply. Isn’t that almost the same as communicating face to face?”
While Gwen was away, Andy had been keeping in touch with Gwen through phone conversations and video calls. He did not think he should be restricted from communicating when people could not meet each other. As long as they could see each other or hear each other voices was a good way to maintain communication.
That was why he never insisted on asking Gwen to come back to see him. As an open-minded father, he understood Gwen has her own life and he should not ask Gwen to stay with him just because he wanted Gwen to accompany him.
“You’re right. That’s a good idea,”
Stefan smiled.
Steven appear.
Gwen smiled and held his hand. “Just record one video. I’ll tell Steven to watch it when he appears.”
After a moment of silence, Stefan nodded and smiled,”
Alright.”
Gwen and Andy still did not understand how split personality worked. In fact, whatever he was doing now, Steven was aware of it. It worked the same way. When Steven took control of the body, he also knew everything Steven did.
His regret was that he could not hold Steven’s hand and communicate with him like every normal person.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Then they heard Tara’s cheerful voice.
“Gwen, may I come in?”
Tara asked.
Gwen quickly let go of Stefan’s hand and answered, “Please come in.”
After getting the permission, Tara winked at Bethan and opened the door.
Gwen did not notice Bethan was behind Tara and only thought Tara came here alone. She asked, “Hey, Tara. Did you give John the money?”
Tara nodded, “I did. But he refused to accept it at first because he thought it was too much.”
Gwen sighed, “But he saved my father and I actually think seventy-four thousand dollars is not a lot. I really want to bring my father to meet him and thank him for saving my father. But after how the thing with Anne ended, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Because John knew her and Luke.
When Anne passed away, John chose to cut off all relationships with everyone which strongly represented how he felt. He resented and hated everyone. If he knew the man he risked his life saving was Gwen’s father, he probably hated himself for doing it.
In order to avoid that, Gwen could only ask Tara to help her out to give compensation to John.
Suddenly, she looked at Tara and asked, “Did he sense anything?”
“No. But I bumped into Bethan when I was downstairs,”
Tara smiled.
Gwen widened her eyes and got nervous. “Bethan? Did she see John and Robyn?”
“I did,”
Bethan answered abruptly.
Bethan smiled and jumped out from Tara’s back when she heard Gwen’s worried voice.
“Gwen, you are my best friend. How could you keep me in the dark when you know about John? What were you thinking?”
Bethan asked and pretended to be angry.
