At the hospital.
Ceres stood outside the emergency room and paced back and forth. She did not expect that Caleb would faint from anger due to her words.
Roy immediately rushed over when he got the news. Because there were many things to do in the company today, he had been busy working and had not gone home yet.
"Is he okay?"
When Ceres saw Roy running over, she felt relieved.
"I don't know yet. He has been there for more than an hour." Ceres was a little regretful. Even though Caleb was hale, he was still an old man. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said that. I actually made him faint in anger!"
Ceres patted her head as she spoke.
"Alright, don't blame yourself. I know you didn't mean to."
Roy comforted Ceres.
"Roy, tell me the truth. Is he sick or not? The person you sent told me that he went to the hospital several times. But when I found out that he was hale. He looked energetic when he blamed me! So, is he sick or not?"
Roy could not help but sigh, "He is indeed sick."
"What has he got?"
"Tumor."
Ceres's heart sank. She asked cautiously, "Cancer?"
Roy nodded. "He doesn't want others to know about it. He is so proud. Few people know about this. I wanted him to tell you directly, but he refused."
"Why?" Ceres felt that Caleb had a strange temper.
"Maybe he wants to maintain the image of a strong father in front of you. He doesn't want you to think of him as a sick man. That's my speculation. He didn't tell me why."
Ceres didn't know what to say.
She had forgotten that she talked a lot about George with Caleb. Caleb was proud all his life. He probably didn't want to lose.
After a while, the doctor came out from inside.
Roy and Ceres immediately stepped forward. "Is he okay?"
"It's not a big deal. He hasn't eaten enough food in the past two days. He had low blood sugar and was too angry, so he fainted."
Ceres heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Caleb was fine. Otherwise, she would have been blamed harshly for enraging her father.
"However, Mr. Roy, we still suggest that Mr. Caleb immediately be hospitalized for systematic treatment. Cancer is not terrible. Mr. Caleb was diagnosed in the early stage. Maybe he doesn't need to undergo surgery."
The doctor looked at Roy worriedly.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Ceres was a little confused.
