Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 838

“You always cook the kids’ favourite dishes. Why are you so enthusiastic today?” Jayden raised his head and looked at Coral.

For a moment, Coral didn’t know how to answer.

Jessica chimed in, “Coral always cares about the kids. Now, she has finally realized she needs to care about us.”

Jayden heaved a sigh. He could tell from all their expressions that they had known about his health issue, “I hide it from you just because I’m afraid you would be like this.”

None of the adults at the dining table had the appetite. Only the children didn’t know anything about it. Amanda picked up some food for him, “Grandpa, are you unhappy today?”

Jayden rubbed her head, “I’m not unhappy. Even if I wasn’t happy, I would be happy as soon as seeing you, Amanda.” After that, he looked at others and said, “Let’s eat.”

“Let’s start eating.” Dolores didn’t have any appetite, but she still urged others to eat. She didn’t want the atmosphere to be so stressful, which wasn’t good for Jayden’s sickness.

Firstly, he must have a good mood, which helped cure him.

After dinner, Dolores carried the baby upstairs. Matthew went upstairs as soon as he came back home. He said he had some urgent businesses to deal with, so he didn’t come downstairs for dinner. Dolores knew that it was because of Jayden’s condition.

She pushed the door of the bedroom open. The room was completely dark. The curtain wasn’t pulled down in front of the window. She saw a black figure sitting there. She walked over and turned on the lamp on the nightstand. The yellow light lit up the bedroom. She put down the baby on the bed. The little fellow hadn’t slept yet, but he didn’t cry after being put down.

Dolores walked to the window and sat on his lap. Matthew wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing his head in her arms. She held him and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

Matthew was silent for a long while.

Dolores could clearly feel that he was slightly trembling. His lips and cheek that were clinging to her were icy cold.

Feeling sorry for him, Dolores kissed him on the forehead. She knew that he was the most upset one after knowing that Jayden had cancer, “No matter what, our children and I will always be with you. I also want to transfer the tailor’s shop in City C to Theresa.”

Theresa had the capability and she should something belonging to herself.

In fact, Dolores had such a thought for a long time. It was just because there wasn’t a good chance before. Right now, she would take a chance to do it, and Theresa shouldn’t refuse.

“I’ll stay home with our children. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll be by your side and take care of Dad.” She held his face with her hands, making him look into her eyes, “I’m so upset when seeing you so frustrated.”

Matthew pushed her hands away, pressing his head in her arms again. He said hoarsely, “Just let me calm down.”

Dolores kept silent while holding him.

After a long time.

“He got advanced lung cancer. It’s spreading. There’s a shadow in his brain now,” Matthew muffled in her arms.

According to the doctor, the cancer cells might have spread in Jayden’s brain, which was quite dangerous. If not, he could make another three to six months. Otherwise, if it had been spread in his brain, he could only have another one to three months.

It was cruel news.

Dolores had been fully prepared, but her eyes were still reddened. She had thought that they should have one or two years. Much to her surprise, it had become so serious.

“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.” Matthew left Dolores’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.

Dolores stroked his face, “Is there any conservative treatment for him?”

Matthew 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.

Matthew wanted to stand up. Dolores took the chance to stand up.

“I’ll hold him,” said Matthew. Probably he had been sitting for a long time and Dolores was sitting on his lap for a while, his thighs were numb. He bent over and rubbed them. Dolores 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 Matthew held him up, he stopped weeping.

Matthew had already carried him quite often, but he still wasn’t skilful enough.

Dolores said that she would go check on the other two kids, so she left.

Jessica had just finished bathing them. They were in pyjamas. Dolores 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. Dolores 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.”

Dolores rubbed his head and said, “We’ll move in the Nelson 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,” Dolores 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, Dolores 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?
