“What did the doctor suggest?” she asked in a hoarse tone.
“The doctor suggested taking the surgery. Others treatments all have quite limited effects. Dad doesn’t want to do the surgery.” Cormac left Loredana’s arms and looked at her under the dim light, “He’s quite stubborn.”
Hence, he couldn’t do anything.
Jayden said that he was so old, and he was unwilling to do the surgery on his head.
Loredana stroked his face, “Is there any conservative treatment for him?”
Cormac nodded.
“I’ve already sent people in the mansion to clean it up. We can move in tomorrow.”
“Wah… Wah…” The baby suddenly started crying on the bed.
Cormac wanted to stand up. Loredana took the chance to stand up.
“I’ll hold him,” said Cormac. Probably he had been sitting for a long time and Loredana was sitting on his lap for a while, his thighs were numb. He bent over and rubbed them. Loredana squatted down, helping him rub.
Soon, he felt much better. He carried his son. The baby wasn’t hungry or didn’t pee. He just wanted to be held. As soon as Cormac held him up, he stopped weeping.
Cormac had already carried him quite often, but he still wasn’t skilful enough.
Loredana said that she would go check on the other two kids, so she left.
Maxina had just finished bathing them. They were in pyjamas. Loredana pulled them to sit down on the bed and said, “I have something to tell you guys.”
“What is it?” Amanda threw herself into her mother’s arms. Loredana held her up and put Amanda on her lap.
Andres sat next to them as an adult and asked, “What happened? I could tell no one had an appetite when having dinner. After dinner, Grandpa Kevin went to Grandpa’s room. He hasn’t come out yet.”
Loredana rubbed his head and said, “We’ll move in the Mendelsohn Mansion tomorrow. We used to stay there before.”
“I don’t mind,” Amanda said, “As long as you will also move in.”
“Of course, we all will move in,” Loredana held her and said, “Amanda, from now on, you must care more about Grandpa, OK?”
“I love and care about Grandpa a lot.” Amanda had become mature. However, Loredana didn’t tell her directly, so she still didn’t get that her grandfather was sick.
However, Andrew realized something and asked, “Is Grandpa sick?”
Otherwise, why would their mother suddenly remind them about it?
Loredana reached out and held her son in her arms. She didn’t deny or admit it. Instead, she said seriously to him, “Grandpa is getting old. He will be quite happy if Amanda and you are always by his side. From now on, you should accompany him and talk to him more.”
“Mommy, no worries. We will,” said Andrew obediently.
“Mommy, where is Aunt Renee?” Since Theresa had changed her appearance and got a new name, they had been calling her Aunt Renee instead of Aunt Theresa.
Theresa didn’t eat much for dinner. She went out after dinner. It seemed she had received a call from Armand.
Loredana didn’t know what happened exactly. However, she could guess that it might have something to do with Elizabeth.
After knowing that Jayden got sick, she didn’t have much energy to care about others’ businesses.
Theresa received a call from Armand after dinner. He said his phone was dead earlier, so he didn’t saw her message until he turned on the phone again.
Hence, he called her right away.
Elizabeth’s head was injured. Although she didn’t have any danger, she was in a coma for a long time. So far, she hadn’t woken up yet.
Listening to Armand, Theresa could tell that he was not well. Although he insisted that he was fine, Theresa could tell from his tone that he was upset.
She was worried about him, so she headed to the hospital.
When she arrived, Armand was sitting on the bench in the corridor. He lowered his head, looking quite frustrated.
“Hey, Armand,” Theresa called him.
Armand looked up and saw her. His dimmed eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and asked, “Why are you here?”
Theresa walked to him. Originally, she was worried about him, but she answered, “I’m here to see Mrs. Bernie.”
Armand felt a bit disappointed. He thought that she came over because she was worried about him, “She’s in the ward,” he said.
“You haven’t eaten anything until now, have you?” Theresa could tell that his voice was hoarse.
Armand said, “I haven’t had time yet.”
“I’ll buy some food for you.” Theresa turned around. Armand followed her, “I’ll go with you.”
Theresa didn’t respond, just tacitly approving it.
They walked shoulder-by-shoulder. It was evening, so there weren’t many people in the corridor.
Out of the hospital, they went across the road to a noodle restaurant.
Armand ordered a bowl of beef noodles. He asked, “Theresa, have you had dinner yet?”
Theresa sat down and answered, “I’ve had it.”
Armand nodded and asked again, “Are you thirsty?”
Theresa said, “No, I’m not.”
Armand tried to find a subject to talk to her, but he didn’t know what to speak. Suddenly, he blurted out, “There’s an accident today. Let’s deal with the divorce tomorrow.”
Theresa clenched her hands under the table. She looked quite calm, “Are you so eager to divorce me?”
Armand looked at her, “Aren’t you ready? I’ve been a drag for you for such a long time. I can’t drag you any longer.”
“Now you’ve realized you are a drag to me, so do you want to compensate me?” Theresa couldn’t keep calm anymore.
She was so angry with his words.
“What do you want?” Armand was quite generous to her. He was willing to give her no matter what she wanted.
“What else do you have?” He had left all his money to her. She wondered what else he still had now.
Theresa took a deep breath. She was afraid that she would lose control if continuing talking to him. She stood up and was about to leave.
