Darren's figure shuddered violently. The disbelief in his eyes instantly grew.
Even though Gareth was disobedient, he knew Gareth would never lie about such things. He looked at Gareth in fright and asked, "What illness is it?!"
Gareth just said it was a severe illness! What is going on?!
Darren's heart beat faster than before, and his gaze was intertwined with intense worry.
Now, he had utterly forgotten about Elisa. His mind was filled with Julia.
It was only natural for them to get sick, especially when he and Julia were at such an age. Getting sick was inevitable.
Therefore…
Her illness…
Darren looked at Gareth's cold face and grew more flustered. Gareth mentioned a severe illness. It can't be…!
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt. My wife is so kind. How can she get a terminal disease?!
"Say something!" Darren urged Gareth as he looked at Gareth anxiously.
Gareth looked at Darren coldly and enunciated the words. "Lung cancer."
'Boom'
Gareth's words were like a bolt from the blue. It struck Darren and took him a long time to recover. For a long while, he even thought he had misheard.
It was as though the words didn't register. Darren's body froze, and he only looked straight at Gareth after a long time. "What… did you say?"
"Lung cancer."
Gareth enunciated those two words again. His tone was still as solemn as before.
Darren suddenly staggered, and the changes in his eyes were displayed at once.
"Your Grandma… had done nothing but good deeds her whole life. How can she possibly have such a disease?"
