Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 125 Dispirited

Michael looked dispirited. He looked in a pretty bad state, not as fresh and energetic as he was in the morning. "I'm fine. You must have been here for a long time. Sara, come and have a seat." Although Michael's voice was weak, there was obvious affection and tenderness in it.

A smile appeared on Sara's face, but her smile was a little stiff. She really didn't have the mood to smile at such a moment. "Dad, how are you? Why don't you go to the hospital to see a doctor?"

Michael coughed and said, "I'm fine. I'm not used to such a cold place like the hospital. Recuperating at home is ok. "

Jacob and James sat on the chairs beside the bed, and so did Sara. The atmosphere was a little awkward at such a solemn scene.

James looked at the servant next to him and the servant came over. James ordered in a low voice, "Bring some porridge to Mr. Michael and call the doctor over."

The servant nodded and walked out quickly. Not long after, a doctor in white came in quietly. He nodded to James, and then to the rest. Even if he didn't know who these people were, Doctor Ring had a rough idea about them. Michael's son, the CEO of the Shi Group, and his wife, even if he hadn't read the news, he could guess it out.

When James stood up, Jacob and Sara also stood up. "This is Doctor Ring."

Doctor Ring reached out his hand, and so did Jacob. The two shook hands.

"This is Jacob, the current CEO of the Shi Group. Next to him is his wife." James introduced them concisely and didn't think there was anything wrong with his introduction.

On the other side, Sara's face turned red with shyness. Now, she was not even nominally the hostess of the Shi Group.

Doctor Ring praised, "You are indeed a brilliant young man. I've heard a lot about you. Today I see you, and you really deserve your reputation."

Jacob had been used to these polite words, but he nodded. He was eager to know his father's condition, and he was not interested in anything else.

"Doctor Ring, how is my father?" Jacob frowned.

Doctor Ring's face became serious again. Such a question could not be joked. "Isn't it appropriate to say that?"

Doctor Ring turned his head as if he was asking Michael. Michael nodded. They would know it sooner or later. It was better for them to be mentally prepared.

Jacob felt a lump in his throat. He really had to accept such a brutal answer. He had also accepted it in the past. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and without social trials and hardships, naturally he couldn't afford it. Although he had been doing business for a few years, it didn't mean that he could really accept it.

But what if he couldn't bear it? Anyway, he had to. After Jacob sat down, his left hand was holding the arm of the carved wooden chair, as if it could ease some pain, but he still felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Mr. Michael's situation is not optimistic. Because it's brain cancer. But in the past, we only did surgeries to control the spread of the cancer cells. Now, the cancer cells can't be controlled. Unless we perform another surgery, otherwise... "

Doctor Ring paused and had a clear answer in everyone's heart. Michael closed his eyes and catnapped, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

Four years ago, he was the same. At that time, Jacob just graduated from university and didn't know about the evils of the society. Michael worried about Jacob, so he had to do an operation anyway. Fortunately, the operation went well and he survived.

In the past four years, when Michael saw that Jacob had grown up step by step, he was also happy that he could finally let Jacob fly as well. So this time, he was not going to have another operation. The doctor had clearly told him that he had had an operation, so the risk of another operation was very high. The probability of success was only 20%.

Jacob's hand, which was holding the carved wood, inexplicably loosened, and the strength of his whole hand disappeared.

His voice was so low that only he could hear it. "So, why don't you do the surgery?"

Jacob's voice was mixed with unacceptable sadness. He just raised his eyes to look at his father on the bed in front of him. The man who gave him life and world, the man who used to be incomparably tall in his memory, now inexplicably looked thin.

"The probability of success of the operation is only 20%..." Doctor Ring said hesitantly. He couldn't help but glance at Michael and then at Jacob.

He had witnessed such a cruel sentence countless times when he was a full-time doctor, but no matter he had seen it thousands of times, or only once, Doctor Ring could understand the feelings of his family.

No one would be heartless. Doctor Ring knew more about the principle of being kind.

Jacob thought about all this in frustration. He didn't know since when everything around him had changed. Love and family affection had become so fragile. God could almost take them away in an instant. It turned out that life was so fragile.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

James glanced at Jacob and Sara and said, "Brother said he knew his own health. He was already lucky that the last operation was successful. This time, he didn't plan to have another operation. "

Jacob's eyes turned red. He tried his best to hold back his anger, but his voice was still trembling. Jacob asked slowly, "If he doesn't have the operation, how long can he hold on?"

When Doctor Ring was about to say something, Michael opened his eyes. "Doctor Ring, you can leave now."

Doctor Ring understood what Michael meant and said to the crowd, "Goodbye."

Pulling the corner of her clothes, Sara didn't know what to say. Even though she was just a strange bystander and Jacob had hurt her a lot, she should be happy to see Jacob suffer, but she was not happy at all.

After Doctor Ring went out, Michael said slowly, "Jacob, I don't want to hide something from you. The success rate of 20% just now is much higher. I know my own condition best. If the doctor says that I don't need to do the surgery, I could hold on for three months or one year. I don't have much time left. "

Jacob tried his best to suppress the sadness in his eyes. As a man, he could cry, but not at this moment.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's all my fault. I didn't pay attention to your health, Dad. " Jacob moved the chair to the bedside of Michael and held Michael's right hand.

Of course, Michael had experienced a narrow escape from death. His eyes were full of worry. "As for you, Jacob, I'm most worried about you. What a good girl Sara is! "

Jacob was stunned. He turned around and glanced at Sara who was full of concern. "Dad, I will treat Sara well in the future."

Sara was shocked. Everything was clear now. Jacob suddenly changed his attitudes to her was just for the sake of Michael's will. Sara heart ached as if a needle was pricking it. How she wished she could get up and leave there? However, Michael surely didn't want her to do that. A sense of coldness raised on Sara's face.

Jacob was just a man who would do anything to achieve his goal. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would always get what he wanted. Otherwise, why did she agree to marry him?
