Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 262

At a private medical center in Mathines.

Walking towards the ward, Stanley asked about her mother's condition, "How's her condition now?"

Hearing that, his subordinate, who was in charge, answered, "Mrs. Jones's condition is stable now and she is asleep. Dr. Meyer has been waiting for you. He wants to discuss the details with you."

After a while, they arrived at the ward. Through the window, Stanley noticed that her mother was looking emaciated, lying in the bed silently. If it weren't for the life detector beside her, he would have thought that she was dead.

Staring at Ember who had been ill for a long time, Stanley pursed his lips tightly, clenching his fists. After a long while, he turned around and went to the doctor's office.

"Mr. Jones, your mother's condition gets worse as her organs are deteriorating day by day. If we do not perform the transplantation surgery as soon as possible, I'm afraid that she may..."

Dr. Meyer suddenly paused.

Standing in front of the window, Stanley looked calm. With a sullen expression, he asked, "How long can she survive if she doesn't do the transplantation?"

"Less than a month." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"For the past year, I've spent a lot of money on your center to fund your research, and now one year has passed, but your team has not made any progress in medical technology. Dr. Meyer, I'm very disappointed with your team."

In fact, Stanley had already started funding this medical team right after Ember's ailment was discovered. At that time, Dr. Meyer and his team firmly believed that they would be able to develop

the best medicine to treat Ember, but they failed to do so after one year.

Therefore, Dr. Meyer, who was over 40 years old, felt a little embarrassed. "Mr. Jones, all the organs of your mother are failing, and we also found some malignant tumors inside her body. In fact, whenever Mrs. Jones has a problem, my team would stay up all night, trying our best to save her. Mr. Jones, you can blame me if you want, but you can't question my team like this!"

"You don't want me to look down on your team?" Stanley said with a sneer, "Well then, tell me about your treatment plan!"

Glancing at him, Dr. Meyer sighed and told him to sit down. After that, he took out all the medical history records that belonged to Ember before explaining them to Stanley. After half an hour of listening, Stanley was increasingly depressed, making him crave for a cigarette.

"That's enough!"

Interrupting Dr. Meyer, Stanley stood up, pulling his tie. He then asked for a cigarette from his subordinate, litting it up, and started smoking.

After a long while, he asked with his eyes closed, "How long will she live if she doesn't get treated now?"

Upon hearing that, Dr. Meyer remained silent, pursing his lips. After a while, he replied, "Two months at most."

Instantly, his words made Stanley's heart skipped a beat.

Meanwhile, looking at Stanley's back, Dr. Meyer eventually decided to tell him what he really thought. "Mr. Jones, I still have the organ compatible diagnosis book you brought to me a year ago in my drawer. Since Mrs. Jones's condition is getting worse now, I think it's time to bring that compatible organ donor to the hospital for the surgery."

Hearing his suggestion, Stanley looked at his trembling fingers that were holding the cigarette at the moment.

"That person is by far the closest compatible liver and kidney donor to Mrs. Jones. Their compatibility of the heart is even as high as ninety percent. So, Mr. Cruz is the best candidate among the tens of millions of people as no other organs are more suitable than his for her. Please make a decision! If the surgery is not done as soon as possible, Mrs. Jones will suffer."

Without any hesitation, Stanley opened the door and entered the ward. The next second, his expression suddenly changed, filling with anger. Without warning, he slammed the door before striding toward the man in the ward.

Shocked, Oscar immediately reached out his hand to stop him. "Mr. Jones..."

"F*ck off!" Stanley ignored him, and without warning, he punched his father in the face.

"Stop!"

Seeing Stanley's action, Ember spoke weakly, struggling to get up to stop him. Meanwhile, with protruding forehead veins, Stanley withdrew his hand, and in the next second, he strode toward Ember worriedly. "Don't move!"

Although she only moved slightly, she was panting, feeling tired. After a while, she spoke with a pale face, "You can't beat him up! He is your father!"

Suppressing his anger, Stanley replied, "Fine, I won't hurt him. So, can you please lie down and stay still? The doctor said that you are extremely weak now."

Hearing that, Ember twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh, but then, she coughed in a low voice as she was feeling unwell. Seeing that, Stanley panicked, and immediately, he was

about to call the doctor. However, Ember stopped him, saying, "I... I'm fine. Stanley, can you go outside for a moment? I want to talk to your father..."

Ignoring her request, Stanley shook his head with a smile, "I will not leave you alone with him."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. After all, we're now in the hospital. Your father will not dare to hurt me. If anything happens to me, I believe that you won't spare him!"

Comforting her son, Ember patted his hand.

Upon hearing that, Stanley pursed his lips tightly.

Despite that, Ember looked at him with determination as if she would not change her mind.

After a long while, Stanley stood up straight, glancing at his father, who was standing at the end of the bed, before leaving.

Right after he left, Isai turned to look at Ember who was sitting on the bed. Seeing that, she immediately looked at Oscar.

"Oscar, you should go out as well," Isai ordered.

"Yes."

After Stanley and Oscar had left, it became quiet again in the ward. So, Ember looked at Isai with her hollow eyes, noticing that he still looked serious and dangerous even he had now grown older.

"We have been staying together for thirty years. Because of you, I have become like this. All this time, I have hated you so much that I even thought of killing you... But now, I don't have much time left and not even a few days to live. Soon, I will be able to escape from you! That's why I asked Stanley to stay away for a moment so that I can say my last few words to you."

"Isai Jones, I would never forgive you even after I die." Ember scolded.

Hearing her words, Isai remained calm, showing no emotion. Looking at her pale face, he sneered, and without warning, he stepped forward and held her hand. "You won't die. As long as I live, I won't let you die." Immediately, Ember was disgusted by his words. Using all her strength, she shook off his hand. "I would've escaped from you a long time ago if it wasn't for Stanley! I just didn't want to leave him behind. But now, since he has his own family already, I have nothing to worry about anymore. So, please let me go and don't step into my life ever again! I don't want to live anymore!"

Seeing her reaction, Isai smiled, rubbing her cheek, and said. "Shh... Don't worry too much. All you need is to have a good rest. Later, I will discuss your treatment plans with the doctor." "Clap!"

The next second, Ember slapped him in the face.
