Chapter 884 She Gave Up The Treatment

"Nana, listen to me. I know you don't want to believe it, and it's hard for you to accept. But it doesn't change the fact that I was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. Do you understand what that means? It means that I don't have much time left. According to my doctor, I only have three to six months left. My physical condition will gradually worsen, and I don't want to be hospitalized. I don't want to lie on a cold bed at the inpatient department for my remaining days. I beg of you to help me hide my illness from my family. No matter what happens, I will hold on until you and Ethon get married," Monica said sincerely with a smile.

Fiona had never seen Monica behave like this before. Her mother-in-law was a domineering and arrogant woman. Fiona could not believe her ears when she heard her pleading. She even used the words "I beg of you." Tears streamed down Fiona's face. She put a hand over her chest as if it could ease the intense pain she was feeling there right now. It felt like a sharp knife was cutting through her heart.

Since Fiona did not say a word in response, Monica's face turned more serious. She continued, "Nana, you're a good girl. My son is very lucky to have you as his bride and the mother of his child. I don't have much time left to be with the two of you, so I want to see you both every day. My last wish is that you and Ethon will live here with us until my time runs out. Don't move out just yet, okay?"

Fiona's eyes were red now, and tears still streamed down her face. She had taken Monica's every word to mind. She was really upset by what was happening. She did not expect that Monica would get cancer and then refuse treatment.

Monica was a wise woman. She understood that advanced cervical cancer patients rarely stood a chance against the disease. Treatment was only designed to ease the symptoms and delay the inevitable, and once a cancer patient was hospitalized, it was next to impossible for him or her to be discharged with a full recovery. If she agreed to treatment and stayed in the hospital, she would only prolong her agony. In addition, she would be putting a huge burden on her family's shoulders. Taking care of the gr

le boy's health had been getting worse and worse. He woke up this morning, talked with Nacy for a while, and then fell asleep again.

What confused Mandy was that Adrian was like a newborn baby now. He slept for more than ten hours at a time. Then he woke up, stayed awake for a while, and then fell asleep again. If it were not for the fact that his vital signs were being monitored all the time, Mandy would not be able to sit still. She would constantly worry that Adrian would never wake up again.

"I haven't seen Adrian for a long time. Has he been like this for long?" Nacy rested her chin on her hands and stared at Mandy. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Mandy nodded. This was how things had been going recently. The medical team in charge of Adrian had developed a new drug to control the virus in his body, but it seemed to be ineffective.

"Actually, he's in better condition today. Usually, he stays awake for two to three minutes and then falls asleep again. What's more, he can't eat normally now. He's supported by nutrient infusions. I'm really afraid..." Mandy wanted to say something more but hesitated and stopped. She felt like a sharp knife was slashing through her heart.

Nacy did not know what to say to comfort Mandy. What could she possibly tell her to make her feel better? She was afraid that nothing would work at the moment. All Nacy could do now was to stay by Mandy's side and talk to her when she needed it.
