Chapter 36
I had been with Abigail for a long time, so I knew her very well.
She was a proud, high and mighty female celebrity. She was used to being adored by everyone around her. She found it humiliating that I was the one who mentioned the divorce and wanted to dump her. So, she didn’t want to let me go and humiliated me with those men as a way to get pleasure from my suffering.
If she hadn’t acquiesced to it, Joshua wouldn’t have been so bold to humiliate me and flaunt their relationship in front of me.
“How could she do that?” Sophia snapped as anger flashed across her face.
Meanwhile, I just smiled and shook my head. I didn’t care or resented Abigail. I was calm, as if none of this had anything to do with me.
“I made peace with it a long time ago. Whatever she does has nothing to do with me.”
I sounded so calm that Sophia looked at me worriedly, as if she were afraid that I might do something reckless.
“Samuel, no matter what happens, I’ll always stay by your side to support you.”
Sophia smiled encouragingly, and it filled me with warmth.
At this moment, George came in with a box of sliced fruits. He smiled at me and complimented, “You look pretty good! It seems like you are recovering well!”
I smiled at him and asked, “Is that so? Then tell me the truth, how many months do I have?”
The atmosphere became tense. George and Sophia exchanged glances before they suddenly burst into laughter.
“Samuel, stop talking nonsense! The surgery was a success, and you’ll at least live until 90 years old!”
George placed the fruits on my bedside table and patted my shoulder as he smiled and gave me encouragement.
I didn’t say anything. I just looked at him silently.
He often told me not to be discouraged and not to give up. If I didn’t believe in myself, then there would be no point in having the surgery at all.
However, I had always been a pessimist. I just didn’t believe that my rare and complicated disease would suddenly have a breakthrough in such a short time.
Perhaps what they told me was just a white lie.
After the surgery, whether my disease could be cured or not remained uncertain.
Sophia hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for several days just to take care of me. She had been sleeping on the folding bed in the hospital for three days straight, and her eyes were puffy.
Feeling deeply moved, I looked at her and gently urged, “You should go home and get a good
Feeling deeply moved, I looked at her and gently urged, “You should go home and get a good
rest.”
“What about you? I need to take care of you.” Sophia shook her head and didn’t want to leave.
I smiled and waved my hand as I said, “It’s okay. Didn’t George say I’m fine now? You should go home and sleep. Your eyes are red. If you wear yourself out, who’s going to take care of me?
After she heard what I said, her cheeks turned slightly red. In the end, she nodded and agreed.
I tried to sit up in bed after she left, but I felt a sharp pain through my body. It made me realize that what George and Sophia told me was just their way to comfort me.
I didn’t expect that my disease could be cured at all. However, the surgery gave me a little extra time to stick around in this world. That way, I could help Kayla fulfill her last wish.
Kayla had a lot of friends at the sanitarium. Some were waiting for a bone marrow match, while others were waiting for a heart transplant.
