In the corridor outside the hospital room, Sydney watched Wesley's troubled expression.
Sydney couldn't help but reassure him, "She'll be okay."
Wesley let out a soft sigh. "Sydney, I'm really not lying to you. My mom really—"
"I know," Sydney interrupted. "I believe you now."
Rebecca had fainted right in front of her, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Later, the doctor performed a CT scan and MRI for Rebecca.
When the results came in, the doctor pointed to the findings and told them, "The patient shows enlarged lateral ventricles and widened sulci, with clear signs of cerebral atrophy in the frontal lobe. The MRI also indicates atrophy in the hippocampal area."
Although Wesley didn't fully understand the medical jargon, he could guess the implications.
"So my mom really has dementia?" he asked.
The doctor nodded. "Based on the current results, yes."
Wesley felt his body sway in the chair. With Sydney wanting a divorce and his mother having dementia, the double blow was almost too much to bear.
Sydney quickly supported him.
Wesley turned to her, his gaze blurry. He gently patted the back of her hand. "Thank you."
After leaving the doctor's office, they entered the hospital room.
Rebecca, who had just woken up, saw the worried expressions on their faces. "What's wrong? You both look so glum. Did someone upset you?"
Wesley walked up with a smile. "Mom, you're in the hospital. How could we be happy?"
"I'm fine," Rebecca replied. "I feel better now. Let's go home."
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
