    It was understandable for Justin to forget about it. His health wasn''t in optimal condition right now, after all.


    Rosalie herself would forget what she wanted to say sometimes. Perhaps what he wanted to say wasn''t that important, or he wouldn''t have forgotten it so easily.


    Seeing her staying by his side and taking such great care of him, Justin had a lot to tell her. That included the words he wanted to tell her before Sebastian came in.


    ''Rose, what if I like you?"


    That was what he wanted to say.


    Emotions roiled in his heart at that moment and he almost couldn''t keep them under control. However, Sebastian''s arrival had cut him off.


    After Sebastian left, he realized that it was pointless even if he said what he wanted to say. Rosalie had a husband and a child, and a happy family.


    He, on the other hand, was an ouw. He had no right to like anybody.


    He couldn''t even protect his kin. What right did he have to fancy another woman?


    It was enough for him as long as she was happy. He didn''t want to be a burden on her.


    Theodore and Sebastian had both brought immense emotional baggage to her. Justin didn''t want to add to her troubles.


    Aurora''s test results from the hospital in Melrine indicated that she required a heart recement.


    The heart organ was rare toe by, and it was not easy to find a suitable heart donor. Before she could do so, she had to rely on medicine and regr hospital check-ups for the time being.


    Aurora had her prescription on hand, but something had cropped up on Theodore''s end.


    His doctor called him to tell him about the results of his check-up.


    Theodore looked solemn and exhausted, his heart feeling heavy and uneasy as he heard the doctor''s diagnosis. The doctor told him that he found a tumor, but it was unclear at the moment whether it was benign or malignant. The newsnded like a bomb in Theodore''s heart, sending endless fear and uneasiness throbbing through his veins.


    "Is the tumor in my stomach due to my drinking or some bad habit of mine?"


    The doctor back home reminded him not to drink again, but he continued abusing his own body. He wondered if he should be feeling hopeless or surprised at the news.


    He probably had iting.


    The doctor saw the look on Theodore''s face and gentlyforted him, "Mr. Spencer, don''t be too worried. We will conduct further tests to confirm the nature of the tumor. We first need to first conduct a biopsy for more detailed information. We will thene up with a suitable treatment n depending on the results."


    A feeling of unease shed past Theodore''s eyes. He asked, "Doctor, if...if this tumor is malignant, can I survive it?


    The doctor looked back at Theodore, and said encouragingly, "Every case is different, and we are unable to verify the nature of the tumor right now. But please believe that advancements in the medical field have provided us with many means to deal with such a situation. We will do our best and everything we can to offer you the best treatment. At the same time, staying positive and maintaining good living habits are very important too. They will


    help with your recovery."


    Theodore sighed.


    Despite being overwhelmed with worry, he knew he had to face up to reality and deal with it as optimistically as he could.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Mr. Spencer," the doctor continued, "if there''s nothing else, our next step is to arrange for a biopsy to confirm the nature of the tumor. We will then firm up a treatment n for you."
