"How's Mrs. Green, Doctor?” Jacob asked at once.
The doctor looked from Jacob to Nicole, but Samuel was not there, and for a moment he hesitated.
"Where's Mr. Green?”
"He's resting,’ Nicole whispered. "I'm his wife Nicole and Laurel's daughter-in-law. You could tell me, doctor.”
“Yes, yes, this is our lady. You could tell her.’
Jacob hastened to agree.
The doctor, who knew Jacob and naturally believed him, said in a low voice, "Miss, let's go to the office and have a talk.”
"My mother-in-law...”
"Fine for the moment.”
The doctor's words were a relief to Nicole.
The two men entered the office one after the other.
As the door of the office closed, the doctor sighed and said, "Miss, Mrs. Green is in a bad condition.
“What exactly happened?”
Nicole was more or less prepared, but she was not at ease when she heard this. She had little contact with Laurel, but this time, she felt that this woman was very wise and kind. No matter what her previous attitude was, she was really nice to Zoe.
The doctor sighed and handed over Laurel's healthy report.
"Mrs. Green's health was not so good when she was young, and I don't know what happened then. She may have taken a lot of folk prescriptions, which is not approved by doctors. After all, many medicines in folk prescriptions are toxic, which will make people collapse after years of taking-in. Moreover, I have examined Mrs. Green's body carefully, and found that apart from the room toxicity in the folk prescription, there is other toxicity that has been surrounding her. Although it has improved in
recent years, it still hurts her in the core"
"Can it be treated?"
Now Nicole understood what it was. Laurel's body could have been tampered with just like Joseph's.
She wanted to know now if there was any way Laurel would get better.
The doctor shook his head and said, "It's too late."
“What do you mean?”
"Mrs. Green's health is not good. Now look here.”
The doctor pointed to Mrs. Green's X-ray picture and said, "She's got cancer here, and it's already spread around the body, and it's advanced.”
"Is this advanced liver cancer?” Nicole froze.
The doctor nodded.
"The liver is the least pain-sensitive organ in the body, but once a person feels the pain, it's already too late. The medicine Mrs. Green had been taking for years had already eaten into her body. After the metabolism, the liver is the first to be attacked and persecuted. Now all the toxins accumulated in the liver couldn't get out, so it becomes cancerous, which is very common in medicine. If I have found it a few years ago, there might have been salvation, and now..."
The doctor hadn't finished, but Nicole got the message.
There was a sudden pang in her heart.
At her age, she really couldn't face death bravely, let alone the people around her would leave her anytime and anywhere.
"Doctor, please, will you please save her? We will cost as much as we have.”
Nicole's request was every family's request, but doctors sometimes failed to do it.
"Miss, I think you'd better discuss it with Mr. Samuel. Mrs. Green should have no problem with chemotherapy now, but her life won't last long and it won't make much sense.”
The doctor's words were a direct death sentence for Mrs. Green, which was cruel to Nicole.
She did not know how she got out of the office, but when she saw Jacob's worried eyes, she suddenly asked calmly, "Samuel is on the rooftop, isn't he?"
"Yes!"
"Bring me a light blanket."
Nicole's words made Jacob shocked, but he did not delay and sent for a thin blanket.
Nicole stepped up to the roof.
A handsome man on the rooftop, smoking a cigarette, was a bit shocked when he saw Nicole.
Nicole paid little attention to him, but went straight to Samuel and found him asleep on the rooftop, feeling indescribably sad and distressed.
This man always treated himself badly.
She went to Samuel's side and covered him with the thin blanket she held in her hand, to keep out some of the cold wind.
Mike seemed to know Nicole's identity and asked hesitantly, "Are you Samuel's beloved?”
"You are?"
“My name is Mike, Samuel's good friend.’
Mike happily held out his right hand.
Nicole shook his hand politely and then whispered, "How long has it been since he took a good rest?"
"He said he hasn't slept for three days. Samuel was tough when he was in the army, now since he is faced with so many things, he would not shrink back, but he is aman. A man has his limits. I don’t want to interfere in you too much, but I hope you could be distressed for him. He is not easy.”
“I see, thank you."
Nicole never took her eyes off Samuel.
