Chapter 1397'What would he do if he knew it was a scam?'"Uh...It's getting stuffy in here. I'm going out for some air." As soon as Brad saw his mother coming, he winked at her secretly, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed to leave.Luke stood up to follow.Brad pointed to the next ward, "Daddy, I'm going to spend some time alone with a friend in the next room. Wait here. I'll be right back. Okay?"Brad had no qualms when he lied, "He had lost all his hair. He thinks he looks ugly. If people see him like this, he will cry."Hearing this, Luke frowned and did not follow.He knew Brad would be happy to have friends playing with him at times like this.Then Brad moved towards the door. When he closed the door, he mouthed his mother, "Go ahead!"Brad had done his part. The rest was up to his mom!Luke took out his phone and called the Athana hospital again, "Where are you? You haven't left yet? What are you waiting for? Listen, if you can't arrive here on time, you'll be fired!"
Chapter 1398Eileen said, "I can call Ruben and ask him to come here to explain everything to you. Don't you know me well?"Luke stared at her and said, "Didn't you say that you were willing to marry him for repaying him and the sense of guilt?"She nodded, "I said so indeed! I said that on purpose because I wanted to deceive you! I'm a human, not a stone. After you did so many things for me, how could I hurt your heart? How could I choose to marry Ruben at such a time? Didn't you feel that it was too sudden?"Luke said, "If one falls in love, it's not surprising whatever one does."Luke's heart beat fast. What she had said took him by surprise. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.Eileen felt helpless.Luke's gaze became deep and meaningful gradually. He became serious and said, "So you deceived me in such a way?"Eileen said, "I knew that you hated being deceived and Merlin's disease was your taboo, but I had no other choice! I deceived you. You believed and left deci
Chapter 1399Eileen thought about it. 'Sherman is right.'Eileen hung up. The sadness and dissatisfaction were erased from her mind. She sneered.'I have felt wrong for eight years while he has just experienced it for several months. I'm still angry with him. How dare he want me to go to the airport to stop him?''I have given him an out, but he even wants to swim all over me!''Does he think that I'm the same as before?''I ask him to stay not because I want to rekindle the romance but because I can't take care of Brad anymore.''Even if he will leave tomorrow, I won't stop him.''I will tell him my condition and ask him to take care of Brad. Then I will have nothing to worry about.'That night, Luke called Kingsley to drink.At 9 p.m., Kingsley hadn't arrived yet. Luke had arrived first. The table in front of him was filled with wine. He beamed with pleasure.Kingsley arrived and sat opposite Luke. Kingsley asked, "Why are you so happy today?"Luke said, "I'm very happy..
Chapter 1400Hearing that, Sherman burst into laughter and couldn't wait to call Eileen.Kingsley stopped her.It was 3 a.m. Eileen must have fallen asleep.The next morning.When Eileen was eating breakfast, her phone rang. She answered the phone.Sherman said on the phone, "Luke had a chat with Kingsley last night. Luke said that he wouldn't forgive you until you went to the airport to stop him and express your feelings to him."Hearing that, Eileen sneered and didn't bother to know more about it. She just asked, "Are you available at noon?"Sherman asked, "What do you want?"Eileen said, "I know a new restaurant. Brad would like to have a try. Let's go there together."Sherman agreed immediately, "OK."In the restroom, Brad was talking on the phone with Luke. Luke said, "You are becoming a skillful liar."Brad said, "I learn it from you!"Brad shifted responsibility and said, "As for pretending to be sick, I also learn it from you."Luke criticized, "Why do you learn c
Chapter 1401"Sherman is shopping with Eileen. They are going to have coffee and lunch. Eileen has a blind date today."Luke's brow furrowed. His Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn't believe that. "Didn't she mention me?""Yes."Kingsley suddenly remembered something.Luke's face softened as he heard this. "What did she say?""Eileen said she had made it clear to you yesterday, but you didn't accept. That means rejection. You want to leave, and she has no right to stop you and can't stop you. She's afraid that she can't make you change your mind even if she wants to, so she has decided to give up."Luke's face turned cold when he heard this.He curled his thin lips and cursed, "Damn it! This woman has no perseverance at all! Where there's a will, there's a way. She doesn't even have the persistence. How can she succeed?"He turned back while pulling his suitcase and walked towards the exit of the airport.Kingsley's eyes were full of amusement, but he held back his laughter, foll
Chapter 1402Luke frowned, at a loss what to say, stammering, "Well... Um..."Eileen ignored him and turned her back on him."It's all my fault! I didn't mean to say that yesterday. I'm so happy. I just want you to care about me so that I can be relieved. Don't be angry with me, OK?" He could do nothing but try to please her with sweet words. The others were shocked to see him grovel.This was different from the plot he had expected. It could be described as a sharp turn.Sherman's shoulders couldn't stop shaking. She just couldn't stand it!Why didn't this man treasure the chance? He refused Eileen but now came to apologize. What a fool!Sherman wanted to laugh but she fought it back. Her stomach hurt!Eileen still didn't look at him, facing the window indifferently.Brad looked on with interest, suggesting, "Dad, tell Mom how much you love her. I saw the heroes do that in TV dramas."Luke's face stiffened. He then went down on one knee and said, "I owe a woman too much, a
Chapter 1403Her chest heaved.Suddenly, she had an impulse to give in, but she knew she couldn't."Do you know why I tricked you into coming back?" she asked, pushing him away."Because Brad can't leave his father. You told me that."Eileen said, "That's just one of the reasons. There's another one."Luke's heart pounded as he asked, "What do you mean?"He thought, 'She must have found that she can't live without me and that how good I am. She wants to make up with me.'"I have cancer."Eileen said slowly, "It's in the middle stage, so you have to come back and take care of Brad. I don't have the energy to take care of him anymore."Luke raised his eyebrows. "I already promised you that I will stay, and you're still tricking me?"Eileen looked at him.Luke didn't believe that she had cancer.After a moment of hesitation and a slight frown, she mustered up the courage to take off her wig.Instantly, Luke froze, thunderstruck.After a while, he regained his composure, his
Chapter 1404To be honest, a good-looking person always fitted in well with any style.With a shaven head, he looked dangerous, attractive, and refreshing."It's up to me."Sitting by the bed, Luke looked at her deeply and said word by word, "Don't worry. I won't let you die." "You're my woman. I'll protect you! Even Death can't take you away from me!"Eileen's emotions were churning as she heard this.From the moment she was diagnosed, she had forced herself to be strong and calm.Because she knew that she could only rely on herself.Yet now, hearing his words, her mental armor broke, revealing her weakness."Three top medical teams will come over from different countries this afternoon. Prepare yourself. It's a tough battle, but we'll win."Luke stared fixedly at her. "The medical professors will come every day. You'll have a hard time, but I'll always be with you."Eileen's lips moved. As she was about to speak, she was hugged by him.The hug was warm like a sturdy wal
