Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644

That was Gabriel’s typical style. He dropped her off at the school gate.

Final exams had ended, and summer break had started. But Rebecca had signed up for summer classes like a lot of the other students had, so the campus was still bustling.

She searched for Vance in the crowd, planning to remind him of getting his grandmother a checkup early. But saying it directl felt strange.

She saw him walking with another boy and hurried over, pretending to pass by.

“Rebecca!” he called out. “Why are you running so fast?”

She turned around. “Oh, I didn’t notice you.”

The boy beside Vance spoke. “Those dark circles are really bad. Did you stay up night playing games?”

Rebecca did get dark circles when she didn’t sleep well. But his comment gave her an idea.

“I really didn’t sleep well last night because an old lady in our neighborhood got sick,” she lamented, making up a story. “So, any elderly person shows abnormal symptoms, they really need to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

She sighed. “This old lady had symptoms before, losing weight really fast. People like to keep fit, but if someone suddenly lose a lot of weight, it’s a warning sign. Also…”

Irene hadn’t gone grocery shopping at all. She had gone to the hospital.

She had never expected to get this illness. She had thought any discomfort was just because of old age until the community held free checkups for seniors.

The doctor had suggested further tests and left her a number. Last week, she went in and received the diagnosis. She knew anything with the word “cancer” was hard to cure.

The doctor, whose last name was Horton, had suggested hospitalization. She had refused, unwilling to waste money or trouble her grandson. But the doctor had been persistent and called again, finally persuading her.

By the time Vance got home, she was already at the hospital.
