The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966 What Tumor

She immediately thrashed, trying to get off the bed, but Victor grabbed her in the next instant.

Tessa: “What are you doing? Are you really going to give me stomach reduction surgery?”

“You’d actually believe that mouth of his?”

At this moment, Victor clearly regretted asking Abraham for Lewis.

What the hell had he asked for…

When he was leaving, Abraham had even said that his mouth was beyond annoying. He had also said: “I already have an Eddie; why would I possibly want a second mouth like that?”

Victor felt he must have been out of his mind at the time.

Besides, he wasn’t that familiar with Eddie, so he figured, how annoying could one person’s mouth really be?

But now,

he really wanted to send Lewis back to Abraham…

“Then what do you mean?”

Victor: “I…”

Tessa: “You’re not talking? Do you really think I eat too much?”

At this, Tessa’s eyes instantly turned red. “You have so much money, are you afraid I’ll eat too much? Am I going to eat you into poverty or something?”

Victor’s head was starting to ache.

“No.”

He wasn’t good at explaining to begin with, and now with Lewis stirring things up, he was at a loss for words.

He shot another glare at Lewis.

Lewis finally realized he had messed up, instantly freezing like a quail in the doorway.

Tessa: “Then what do you

mean?”

“I

suspect you have a tumor.”

Tessa: “.”

Lewis, Silas: “…!

་་

As soon as Victor said this, everyone’s expression changed.

A–a tumor?

Tessa was even more panicked. “Wait, why would you suspect that?”

A tumor? How could that be? “I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere!”

If I had a tumor, I’d definitely feel really sick, right? But she didn’t feel that way at all, and Victor was just saying she had a tumor. How did that make

any sense?

Lewis: “…

He blinked, looking at Victor, then at Tessa.

“That’s not right. If it were a tumor, you shouldn’t be able to eat. How could you be eating so much?”

“You can eat, sleep, and run. Does that look like someone who’s sick?”

Tessa: “Exactly! I don’t seem sick.”

Victor saying she had a tumor just made Tessa go numb. She was terrified, but her immediate reaction was that she couldn’t possibly be sick. What nonsense was he talking?

Victor’s expression was grave. This time, he didn’t speak. He just took Tessa’s hand and guided it to a spot on her abdomen.

Tessa: “What are you doing?”

“Feel this. It’s hard right here.”

Tessa: “…”

Following Victor’s words, she carefully felt the spot. The moment she did, her expression changed.

Why was there a hard little lump in the middle of her stomach, about the size of a ping–pong ball?

“What is this?”

Tessa went numb all over. She looked blankly at Victor. Victor didn’t speak. Tessa shivered. “Do I really have a tumor? No… I’m perfectly fine. Why would I have a tumor?”

Lewis: “That’s one hungry tumor.”

Silas: “Can you just shut up?”

Was this something to joke about? Silas was truly exasperated with Lewis’s mouth. He’d say anything, but this was the one thing you don’t just chime in on. Did he even get that? Forget it….

If he understood, their brother wouldn’t have spent all these years making Silas beat him up over that mouth. Too bad all those beatings hadn’t changed a thing…

Tessa was truly panicking now. “Does the tumor need surgery? I’m scared!”

At the mention of a knife, Tessa’s tears started to fall.

Victor: “Don’t be afraid.”

At this, the doctor, Percy, nodded. “Yes, no need to be afraid. You don’t need surgery right now.”

Tessa sniffled and looked at Percy. “Do we have to wait for it to get bigger before operating?” Percy nodded. “Yes. And it’s uncertain if we’ll need to operate at all.”

Uncertain if we’ll need to operate? What did that mean? It gets bigger, but it’s uncertain? Was it a fatal tumor?

Tessa panicked even more and burst into tears. “I’m still so young! I don’t want to die!”

Victor’s expression changed instantly. He shot a death glare at Percy.

Percy: “Wait, what are you all talking about?”

He had been focused on examining Tessa this whole time and hadn’t heard a word they’d been saying.

Victor: “We were asking you about the surgery for the tumor.”

“Huh? What tumor?”

When he heard Victor and the others had been discussing a tumor, Percy’s expression froze.

He was the type of person who, when he worked, tuned everything else out. In other words, no

matter how noisy the environment, it never affected his concentration. Once he was in work mode, he could block out whatever anyone said and focus completely on his task.

The moment he said that, the air in the room froze once again.

Victor: “I’m telling you…”

Between Percy and Lewis, he was really at his limit.

Percy: “You suspect she has a tumor in her stomach?”
