Chapter 42 Grandpa Had Cancer

“Hurry, let’s go to the hospital. Uncle Joe said that Grandpa had fainted. They are rescuing him.” Nancy finished her words tremblingly..

Jacob is already old, and his health condition is not good.

She couldn’t imagine whether Jacob would be able to come out well once he entered the emergency room.

She is afraid.

She is so scared.

However, at the traffic light, Nancy discovered Nicholas didn’t turn.

“Nicholas, go to the hospital. Where are you going? Nancy became angry.

She turned pale angrily.

Nicholas held his hands on the steering wheel calmly.

Compared to Nancy’s panic and nervousness, he didn’t seem affected and was always calm.

“Nancy, don’t worry. I knew Grandpa. He may not be sick.”

“When I was young, Grandpa often used a trick of being sick to deceive me. I was fooled many times. Grandpa probably didn’t want us to divorce, so he used this trick again.”

Nicholas thought that after he said this, Nancy would feel more at ease or calmer.

However, her reaction was completely unexpected.

Nancy stared at him very angrily. Her voice was even more angry, “Nicholas, what do you mean?”

“I don’t care whether Grandpa deceived you or not, and I don’t care what guesses you made. Even if Grandpa pretends to be sick, I will immediately rush to the hospital.

“Turn around and go to the hospital right away!”

Her life could no longer withstand any assumptions

Jacob was not in good health. When she saw him today, she felt he was exhausted and aged a lot.

If it was true, she couldn’t imagine it

Therefore, she did not allow something to happen to Jacob.

Even if it’s fake, even if Jacob is lying to her, she is willing.

However, she had to go herself to confirm that Jacob was healthy.

When they arrived at the hospital, Nancy rushed straight up.

When she saw the lights in the emergency room were on, she instantly went limp and almost fell.

“Dad, Mom, how is Grandpa?” Nancy’s voice trembled unbearably.

For some reason, she had a terrible feeling.

Moreover, she also strongly felt that she seemed to lose something again.

Seeing that Sarah and Albert were outside the emergency room with serious expressions, Nicholas knew that something terrible had happened.

“Why did Grandpa suddenly end up in the emergency room?”

Nicholas looked at the bright red letter, and his heart suddenly beat fast.

Albert stood aside. His eyes were bloodshot as if he had aged a lot instantly.

“Mom, tell me. Are you hiding something from us?” Nicholas was keenly aware of something.

Sarah raised her head and said lowly, “It’s already happened. I couldn’t hide it any longer. Besides, it’s time for you to find out.”

“Grandpa’s illness has never improved. He has end-stage liver cancer. A month ago, the doctor issued a critical illness notice, saying that Grandpa…

Sarah’s voice trembled, and she could not continue to speak.

Albert came over to support her and continued, “That’s why Grandpa brought forward his 80th birthday. He was afraid that he wouldn’t make it to that day. He didn’t want to leave any regrets.”

“He didn’t let anyone tell you both.”

Nancy cried and leaned against Nicholas’ arms. She trembled so much.

She would not have believed it if her father-in-law hadn’t told her this.

How could that grey-haired, warm, and kind Jacob, who loved her, diagnosed with liver cancer?

By the time she knew it, it was already late.

Why?

Why did she only know now?

“No…” Nicholas shook his head. He looked at Albert with red eyes. “I don’t believe it. You lied to me!”

“Since I was a child, Grandpa liked to lie to me about being sick so that I would be obedient. It’s the same this time, right? I know that he doesn’t want me to divorce Nancy. I’ll listen to him. If he recovers, I won’t divorced. I will live happily with Nancy for the rest of my life.”

“I’ll listen to him in everything.”

Albert knew they couldn’t accept it for a while, but what he said was true.

“Nicholas, Nancy, I didn’t lie to you. This is true. You can ask the doctor to check the medical records if you don’t believe it. Three months ago, Grandpa was diagnosed with end-stage liver

cancer.

Nicholas’ eyes were scarlet, and he looked at Albert coldly while asking, “Three months ago? Since you already knew it, why didn’t you tell us? Why did you hide it from us?”

“Albert!” Nicholas shouted his name angrily in front of him.

“Albert, he is my Grandpa and your father. Why did you hide it from me? Why?” Nicholas shouted with his veins popping out on his face angrily.

“I know that you are resentful towards Grandpa. You hate him for separating you and that woman. You hate him for not letting the illegitimate child in. But he is your father. How can you be so cruel? Do you still have humanity?”

Nicholas already hated his father.

In this way, the hatred became more and more.

He reached out and grabbed Albert’s collar, almost punching him.

Then, Sarah rushed over, grabbed Nicholas’ hand, and explained with red eyes, “Nicholas, I know. you hate your father, but you can’t blame him for this matter.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Grandpa won’t let us tell you. Otherwise, he won’t receive treatment.”

“We have no choice but to hide it from you.”

Sarah cried after she finished speaking.

Nancy also cried very sadly.

“Since Grandpa has been treated, why is it still like this?” Nicholas asked feebly.

“Grandpa is already old. Who can escape end-stage liver cancer? The treatment just relieves some pain and extends his life a little. Do you think Grandpa can be cured?”

Although, everyone cannot accept this fact.

However, this is a cruel fact.

Nicholas squatted on the ground, held his head, and stared at the bottom..

Nancy knew that he felt sad. He felt sorry that he thought Grandpa was joking and he misunderstood Grandpa.

She walked over, hugged Nicholas, and comforted him gently, “Grandpa won’t blame you. I really hope what you said in the car is true.”

“I hope Grandpa lied to me. I hope this is all false.

“I hope Grandpa will still call my name when I wake up.”

“Even if Grandpa holds a crutch and wants to hit you ten or twenty times, I won’t stop him. I would rather you be beaten by Grandpa.”

As Nancy spoke, her tears poured.

“I am willing, too,” Nicholas said.

Nancy nodded, and her tears started to pour down.
