When George Brown’s test results came back, everyone’s faces were stony as they looked at the test results for a long time without uttering a word ……
Elena Bush looked at the few bucket-sized words on it and her feet swayed, “Late stage liver cancer ……?”
How is this possible!
She didn’t want to believe it and immediately grabbed the test report and looked at it again, line by line.
But no matter how much she denied it, the results that had been printed on it were as if they couldn’t be erased and were at the same time deeply imprinted in her mind.
She glanced subconsciously at the reactions of Logan Brown and Cornel Brown, who stumbled and fell back onto the sofa, looking as if the sky was falling.
And Logan Brown’s form swayed unconsciously, startling her, and she immediately stepped forward to narrowly hold his side.
“Are you all right?”
“Fine.”
“But ……”
Elena Bush looked at him still unsettled, “It’s okay, it’s not like there’s no cure is there? Or maybe there’s hope for Grandpa?”
She tried to convince Logan Brown to let go of his worries or whatever, but she couldn’t even lie to herself halfway through the sentence.
“Stop it.”
Cornel Brown cut her off, his face a little pale, “We all know what this is going to look like, and we were more or less prepared for it before that.”
Elena Bush’s lips fluttered slightly.
“Logan ……” Cornel Brown looked over, “Now you should know why I asked you to do a fake scene with me?”
George Brown’s days were numbered, and all he could do was to make him go away with peace of mind and without him having to worry about what was going on between them.
Logan Brown gave him a faint sweeping look, “Do you think by doing that grandfather will have believed the illusion before him?”
He was old, but his heart wasn’t, he knew everything!
Cornel Brown was speechless, but then his face went cold again, “Whatever the case, the show has been done and we have to keep doing it, even if Grandpa knows and he doesn’t say anything!”
It was better than him and Logan Brown being indifferent in front of him as if they were strangers, which in his eyes would only exacerbate his unpleasant mood and make his condition worse.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t oblige you.” The man said coldly.
At those words, Cornel Brown breathed a small sigh of relief.
Elena Bush, distracted, looked away from the two men, all that came to mind were George Brown’s words and the fact that he was always holding himself together.
Yes, as he had said, he had known about his condition for a long time, he had just never brought it up, and now ……
“Logan,” she spoke softly.
Logan Brown looked over immediately, his face worried and wondering if she could take such an unexpected situation.
“I ……” Elena Bush hesitated, half a second before finally spitting out a full sentence, “Can I ask Kent to send Harvey over tomorrow to see Grandpa? ”
She was afraid ……
If it was late, it would be something she would regret for the rest of her life, at least until then George Brown would have to be happy.
Logan Brown nodded wordlessly and took her small hand and circled it tightly in his arms saying, “Everything is up to you, do what you want to do, no need to ask my opinion.”
“Mmm .”
Elena Bush nodded and they looked at each other.
Cornel Brown, who had been left out on one side, cleared his throat unnaturally and said, “Elena, I’m glad you have this heart.”
At least this way it seemed to him that George Brown’s mood was at least on her mind.
Elena Bush smiled, “It’s all just for Grandpa, like you said, even if we go, we have to make it a happy one ……”
Cornel Brown was speechless for a moment, waving his hand in silence as he got up and left the living room.
Elena Bush watched his fading back until he was out of sight before she unsteadily withdrew her gaze and said, “Logan Brown, how much longer does Grandpa …… have?”
“I don’t know.” He shook his head, maybe it was a year, a few months, a few days, or maybe …… it was tomorrow ……
No one knew.
Elena Bush was slightly red-eyed, “So are we going to tell Grandpa?”
“Hmm.” Logan Brown responded, “We’ll send him to the hospital tomorrow to cooperate with the treatment, no matter what else, it’s not hopeless is it?”
Elena Bush nodded heavily, her body nestling into his arms as she did so.
“You’re right, no matter what, there’s still hope in the end.”
Besides, they didn’t need to worry about the cost of medical treatment, everything was just the best.
Not that Elena Bush didn’t have other things in mind, she always felt that this would be a glimmer of hope and would save George Brown from having to suffer through his illness.
Logan Brown stroked the top of the little woman’s head, an indulgent smile flashing under his eyes.
“Elena, don’t worry, Grandpa will be fine.”
His voice was soft, and he wasn’t sure if he was reassuring her or himself ……
Elena Bush didn’t answer again, just held Logan Brown tightly and gave him silent strength.
It wasn’t clear how long it had been before she got up and gestured, “I’ll go give Kent a call.”
“Hmm.”
Logan Brown reluctantly let go of his hand and Elena Bush dialed Kent’s number a moment later, just as Harvey happened to be thinking of Elena Bush, and the call was a lifesaver, making him pick it up.
“Elena Bush, you remembered there’s still me and your son, didn’t you?”
Elena Bush squeezed her palms, not really in the mood for jokes, and got straight to the point, “Are you available now? If you’re free, you can drop Harvey off at the Browns, but if not, I can pick him up.”
Kent could hear something wrong in her words and was a little worried, “Did something happen?”
“Yeah.”
She nodded, not denying it.
Kent followed suit and immediately withdrew his playfulness, then said in a deep voice, “Wait for me then, I’ll send you the man now.”
“Thanks.” Elena Bush took a deep breath and felt better at the sound of his voice, “It’s a long story, so send him here first and I’ll tell you more about it later.”
“It’s okay, it’s not important for me to know why, it’s important for you.”
Kent softened his voice.
Elena Bush smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Harvey was so happy to hear that his mum wanted to see him that all his frustration was gone and he jumped into Kent’s arms and urged, “Uncle, let’s go, mum can’t wait!”
“Okay, okay!”
Kent was at his disposal and did not forget to take Blanche out with him before he left the door.
