When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Countdown to Heartache

Sierra was sharp enough to sense that something was off.

When Oscar realized he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, he told her the truth about Lily’s real condition. In that moment. Sierra felt as if the sky had fallen; she couldn’t accept this reality.

“How could this be? I’ve already developed the medication; it was supposed to cure Grandma,” she said, her voice strained. If by does it have to be cancer, and tohy has it spread?

I’m really sorry.”

Oscar was visibly distressed. Lily didn’t just have any cancer, she had lymphoma, a tough one to beat. Initially, because she was uncared for, her skin deteriorated, mistaken at first for bedsores, before they realized something was seriously wrong

By the time he took a sample for testing, it was already cancer Lymphoma spreads fast, and despite using the best medications available, he couldn’t contain it; there currently weren’t any drugs specifically for lymphoma.

“No! I don’t believe it”

Sierra shouted, unable to accept the outcome. Why is this happening?

Lily had never done anything wrong in her life. Why am I being punished like this while those heartless people are still living well? I’ve tried so hard just wanting grandma to live, why is it so hard?

Jonathan had never seen Sierra like this before; it felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest.

He quickly walked over and embraced her, “Sierra, calm down!”

Sierra pulled away from his grasp and looked at him accusingly, “You knew about this, didn’t you?”

No wonder his mood had been off; so he had been keeping this from her, too.

Jonathan didn’t argue but simply said, “Grandma is worried about you; she doesn’t want to see you upset. It would break her heart to see you like this.”

At his words, Sierra swayed slightly, Jonathan wanted to reach out to steady her but stopped himself.

Once she seemed a bit calmer, he spoke again, “Grandma wants you to be happy; that’s her wish. Don’t worry her, Sierra.”

Sierra remained silent, her head bowed as tears fell to the ground, creating ripples. Each tear seemed to strike Jonathan’s heart, causing him intense pain.

This was a foreign feeling for him; he had never felt this kind of agony for anyone before.

When Lily woke up, Sierra had completely calmed down and was sitting beside her bed with a smile, “Grandma, I’ve arranged with Dr. Zahn for your discharge; we’re going home.”

Since Lily didn’t want to see her sad, she’d stay cheerful

Lily’s time was limited, and she didn’t want her grandmother to spend her last days alone in the hospital.

Seeing Sierra’s demeanor, Lily knew she was aware of everything and reassuringly patted her hand, “Good, let’s go home.”

Jonathan had already completed the discharge formalities. He stood at the door for a while before entering, “It’s all set; let’s

With that, he gently lifted the frail elderly woman into a wheelchair.

“You guys go ahead, I need to see Dr. Zahn for some medicine, Sierra said.

Jonathan knew Sierra had some things to ask Oscar, so he nodded and went ahead with Dickson, pushing Grandma downstairs.

“Dr. Zahn, how long does my grandma have?”
