My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1591

Chapter 1591: Proper Arrangements

When Ayan asked his question, he could feel just how impactful it was.

Dr. Ellis also let out a heavy sigh and then said, "I won't say something as heavy as 'be mentally prepared,' but you need to understand that at this age, it's very normal for people to face life and death. Of course, it's hard for family members to accept, but sometimes, in some situations, living can be more painful."

Dr. Ellis informed Ayan that the old Simpson's current condition involved significant changes in sleep patterns and decreased appetite. The next stage would involve physical pain, and gradually, all aspects of his health would deteriorate until even getting out of bed would become difficult.

This process wouldn't be short, nor would it be excessively long; it really depends on the individual's physical condition and bodily functions. Some might face the end tomorrow, while others might last a year or more.

Hearing Dr. Ellis' words, Ayan remained silent throughout.

He fell into deep contemplation, his mood understandably very grim.

Seeing this, Dr. Ellis tried to comfort him: "Ayan, for someone of the old Simpson's age with similar conditions, he's actually doing quite well. Because of your companionship, his spirits are high. Also, thanks to your cooperation, he still doesn't know the full extent of his condition. Rest assured, the hospital staff will keep it that way; only I know the full details and won't let the nurses find out."

The Simpson family is wealthy enough to invite top doctors from around the world, no matter the cost. Ayan could gather these medical experts together, but some conditions can't be cured by money or doctors alone.

Given the old Simpson's advanced age, surgery isn't a viable option for treating his condition. Even if they spent the money, the chances of success are slim. Even if the surgery were successful, the postoperative pain would be immense. Dr. Ellis arrived at this conclusion after careful consideration.

Both the Simpson family and Ayan have great trust in Dr. Ellis because he considers these issues not only from a medical perspective but also from the viewpoints of the family and the patient.

Although Ayan had mentally prepared himself for conservative treatment from the moment they decided on it, facing the reality still left him feeling lost and overwhelmed.

Currently, only Dr. Ellis and Ayan know about this situation. Ayan hasn't figured out how to break the news to the rest of the Simpson family.

Dr. Ellis suggested, "If they can't manage their emotions well, I think it's best not to tell them for now. Given the old Simpson's current condition, it's not the right time."

Ayan simply responded with a low "mm," naturally following Dr. Ellis' advice and not telling Fletcher or Talia.

He talked with Dr. Ellis for quite a while, but the old Simpson still hadn't woken up.

During this time, he took a few work-related calls. By the time he finished dealing with work matters, more than two hours had passed since he arrived at the hospital.

It was then that the old butler came to inform him, "The old Simpson is awake."

Ayan nodded upon hearing this and took a deep breath as he looked out at the sky before walking into the room where the old Simpson had just come out of his bedroom.

Seeing Ayan, the old Simpson asked wearily, "Why are you here? Have you been waiting long?"

The old Simpson checked the time; he knew how long he had slept but couldn't understand why he still felt so tired after such a long sleep. He tried to control it, but drowsiness is hard to fight off; even if he used toothpicks to prop his eyes open, he couldn't stop them from closing.

Watching the old Simpson yawn, Ayan's expression grew serious. He sat beside him and responded softly, "I just got here a little while ago. I thought you knew I was here and got up just for me."
