Chapter 86
Even though Daniel had only slept for two or three hours last night, he was still full of energy. Seeing that Alexander was not present, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Ms. Aveline, Mr. Sterling really cares about you. Look, he specially arranged for me to arrange a medical examination for you.”
Cares about her?
Aveline couldn’t help but find those words laughable.
He only wanted to ensure that she was alive so that he could torture her more easily.
Aveline was just curious, what expression would he have on his face if he really knew that she had stomach cancer?
“Go
ahead.” Aveline didn’t say much else. After all, she had no choice now.
The examination included many items, but the only one missing was a gastroscopy. After all, it was quite troublesome to do a gastroscopy. She had to take laxatives in the early morning and have several bowel movements until her intestines were completely empty before undergoing anesthesia for the
examination.
Aveline’s body was already weak, and she definitely couldn’t withstand such torture. Moreover, she had been married to Alexander since her student days, and her daily routine was regular, so she rarely had any problems with her stomach.
Daniel didn’t even think about her stomach being the problem, so he didn’t arrange for her to undergo this type of examination.
After the examination, the results were expedited. Aveline was hungry all morning and had just sat down to drink some porridge when Alexander appeared at the door.
He stood tall and straight, with the same cold expression as always. He should have rushed over from the company, wearing a neatly tailored suit. The black and white striped tie made him appear even more imposing.
This tie was the one she had bought for him in the past. Aveline could still remember the sweetness when she used to tie it for him.
Two years later, all she felt was heartache.
Alexander’s gaze fell on her pale face. Why did she always appear so weak and frail every time they met?
Could it be that there was really something wrong with her health?
“Mr. Sterling, rest assured, I won’t die, and I won’t seek death in the future.” Aveline broke the silence between them.
She continued to drink her porridge, and the back of her fair hand was swollen from the needle she had just removed, making her appear even more fragile and pitiful.
After a night of contemplation, Alexander’s anger had dissipated. “Are the results out?”
“No.”
to the
When it came to the examination results, Aveline put down the spoon in her hand and looked directly into Alexander’s eyes. “If there are any problems with the results, what will you do?”
Alexander interrupted her directly, “What problems could you have?”
“For example, if I have a terminal illness.” Aveline stared straight into his deep and unfathomable eyes.
“Can you let me go?”
Alexander had just sat down on the sofa when he heard Aveline’s question. His heart sank, and he couldn’t help but straighten his back. He kept rubbing his left hand’s tiger’s mouth with his right hand, his tone still icy, “Tell me, what terminal illness do you have?”
Aveline knew that even though she hadn’t done a gastroscopy, she had done an enhanced CT scan. Even if she couldn’t determine whether the tumor was benign or malignant, she could see localized thickening of the gastric wall on the CT scan. Moreover, if the tumor was particularly large, it could invade the surrounding tissues and structures, such as directly invading the left liver, or even causing enlargement of the lymph nodes around it due to metastasis.
So there would definitely be results on the medical report. Aveline met his deep and unfathomable eyes and heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Daniel came out with the urgent report, and Aveline also stopped drinking her porridge. “It seems that
the results are out.”
She looked up at Alexander, and her hand holding the spoon was sweating. She was a little nervous.
All along, she had been most curious about what expression Alexander would have when he found out
1154
she had a terminal illness.
Would he be happy that she was finally going to die, or would there be a hint of sadness?
The life and death that she had long given up on seemed to have gained a little meaning.
