TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter One hundred and thirty-five
The churning blades of the helicopter rotated faster, and the vehicle glided smoothly above the city’s towering skyscrapers towards the hospital. Cameron looked out the window, enthralled by the breathtaking view of the landscape that his seat offered. It was going to be short, and he was pained by that. Before they knew it, they started their descent on the hospital rooftop, where a big ‘H’ sign indicated the helipad. With practiced accuracy and precision, the internationally recognised and decorated retired Air Force pilot put the big bird down without any hassle, with officials on the helipad opening the door on both sides. As the elevator slowly fell floor by floor, Cameron’s mind couldn’t help but get flooded with anticipation and anxiety. Even without seeing his sick mom, his soul was already getting filled with sadness at what he might meet, and in a corner of his heart, he prayed that his elder brother would not be there. They got inside the hallway and walked to the desig

The whole Myers family couldn’t help but cry as they became reunited with Cameron, the second son, after fifteen years, especially under these circumstances. “Where’s Nolan?” Cameron asked amidst sobs. “As usual, he’s out on another conference in the Maldives. He’s trying to get the government to score a contract that would bring Singer’s islands and archipelagoes to a whole new level of tourism, just like the Maldives. “He’s trying his possible best, you know? And he misses you.” “I doubt that,” he countered, his voice lowering to almost a whisper so he wouldn’t hurt his mother any further. The doctor on duty came inside the hospital with a nurse, carrying a tray containing some glass bottled liquids and some syringes with a plate of food beside it. “Good morning, Mr. Myers,” the doctor greeted. "Morning, doctor,” both father and son replied in unison. The doctor, confused and shocked, looked at the both of them with questioning eyes. “Oh, he’s my son. The prodigal son,” hi

The doctor staggered and readjusted his step, walking faster to match up with Becca’s speed, as she didn’t look ready to release any of the two men from her grip. She walked briskly, ready to do anything possible in the whole wide world to bring her mother back from the verge of oblivion and nurse her back into the best of health. On getting to the ward, the attending doctor was already there, with the nurse by his right hand, checking the administration of proper medicine. He looked surprised to see Doctor Pella in the room, accompanied by the acclaimed Cameron Myers. He tried to hide his expression, albeit unsuccessfully. “What have we here? The popular Doctor Pella?” "Yes, it is me, in the very flesh,” he answered while making his way to the screen, monitoring her readings. “This disease seems to be in the final stages. Have you tried angioplasty?” "Yes, we have. The artery keeps contracting after the surgery. The one we did previously was able to buy her just one more week.

Cameron had left the office for more than a week, and Lana could confess in front of the whole wide world that she missed him, and she was sure he would feel the same. It was another boring, monotonous day at the office, despite the fact that the office workers tried their possible best to make her interested; she couldn’t help but wonder how much space Cameron took over in her heart. To bond with them in Cameron’s absence, Lana volunteered to drop the children off at school, meeting with the school principal to know how her children were faring. She had smiled widely at Lana; her presence was so warm that it had melted Lana’s heart. They had had a lively conversation that morning discussing entirely uncharted topics that they wouldn’t dare touch at the parent-teacher association meeting. Now, as she drove to work with the engine screaming under the hood, she wondered if she should take a drive to go visit Sally but decided the stress wasn’t really worth it; Cameron would be back

The surgery was a confirmed success, and Cameron couldn’t hold back his joy when the doctor told him that the antibodies in her system had completely adjusted to the biomechanical heart and that she would be up and functioning in less than two weeks. He checked his calendar, noticing his schedule but knowing fully well that he had two weeks to spare, or so he thought. Reaching home to the castle, Becca had been instructed not to break the news to the workers around the house until Mrs. Myers was fully awake and the doctors had confirmed that there would be no long-lasting effects. The biomechanical heart transplant was one of the first in its head, and so the doctors had to pay keen attention to every little detail in her vitals, ranging from blood level to cholesterol level, to heart rate, to pulse control, to even how the newly pumped blood reacted to her body. To prevent the heart from wearing off and starting to degrade in her system, the doctors had agreed that the heart was o

In a bid to solve the workers’ problem, Cameron took out his personal funds and forwarded them to the accountant, who paid the staff using the appropriate channels. He decided to confront his brother when he saw him at home, but he was well away from anybody’s earshot. Aidan, who was a college student at the time, came back home rocking a new time piece that had just been released the previous week. Of course, he could afford it and more, and no one would question him, but Cameron knew just where the money came from. He walked over to his brother and admired the watch for a brief moment. “I want to see you, brother.” “What’s that? Is it something serious?” Aidan asked, hands in his pocket, as he moved in the direction his brother went. “It’s just a little something at the office.” Aidan smiled. “I know you’re hyped out about this office and all, but I told you times a number, office stuff remains in the office and is to be treated there, not in our private space.” “Well said, b

He was unsure of how the blonde girl was going to react to his offer to sit and talk to her. He didn’t even know where he was going to start from in a manner that wouldn’t sound offensive, but his inner gut told him that she needed help.Pulling up to the chair, he asked politely, “Can I take the chair?”“To any other table you want,” she replied, eyes glued to the tablet she was scrolling.“Are you sure about that?” he asked, really hoping she would say no and he could stroll back to where he was with a free mind.She looked up, wanting to shush the disturbance in front of her, but stopped at the last minute and said, “You’re the guy with the expensive coat, isn’t it?”“The coat is not as expensive as you think,” he teased. “You looked like you wanted to say something the other time before I left. Am I right or wrong?”“Not totally right, but you are not completely wrong either.”“Okay,” he said, looking around and motioning to the attendant at the cafeteria. The attendant, a clean-c

Cameron took caution and almost spilled the coffee in his mouth on her, swallowing it in a rush to avoid the reaction, “What? What did you just say now?” “You heard me, Master Myers, I am dying.” “Dying of what?” “COPD, otherwise known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,” she sniffed. “Tell me more about it,” he told her, completely losing interest in the coffee. “The doctor said it’s a term that encompasses two main conditions, namely, chronic bronchitis, which is the inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes, leading to a persistent cough and mucus production, and emphysema, which is the damage to the air sacs in the lungs, causing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.” “Oh my God, that’s so serious. Since when did you come about this?” “I really don’t know. It has been in my system for a long time, but I thought it was just the usual cough or common cold that happens to us, so I resorted to self-medication, which made matters worse until I was rushed h
