“Missus.” Abbott Baron pulled open the car door for Dolores Flores.
Dolores looked at him and she was a bit surprised, “Why you are here?”
“Mr. Nelson asked me to be here.” Abbott said.
Matthew asked Abbott to come here first to find some someone they could use and arrange an expert
for Jessica Lennon. Also, they didn’t have to wait for too long.
“Please come with me, I have arranged everything.” Abbott guided the way.
Dolores held Jessica’s arm and followed Abbott into hospital. Instead of staying in the queue, they
directly went upstairs. There were quite a lot of people in the outpatient service center. Abbott went into
the office and talked with the doctor for a while, then sent Jessica into the office.
Jessica had limited time staying outside, so they had to run every test as soon as possible.
Abbott talked to the director already and everything was well arranged, they only needed to notice the
doctor.
Jessica cooperated with everything she was told but only required to stay in the clinic alone.
Even Dolores was not allowed to stay inside the room.
“Mom, why can’t I be there?” Dolores didn’t get it. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“How could I?” Jessica looked at her calmly, without any emotion. “Others may not know who I am, but
you know it. I only want to be here alone, so I can talk with the doctor about my condition better. I have
come to the hospital with you, how can I hide anything from you?”
“I didn’t mean it.” Dolores was trying to explain.
“If so, wait for me outside.” Jessica told her calmly and she wasn’t mad at all, but she seemed quite
uncomfortable.
Dolores didn’t insist on staying, only told her that she would wait outside then she came out.
Jessica was charged as a criminal at the moment. Dolores thought she might think too much about her
problem, hence she went out finally and didn’t want to cause more worry for her.
After seeing the door being closed, Jessica sat on the chair and looked at the doctor, “Sorry for disturb
you.”
The doctor answered it was ok, that was their job.
“I know my physical condition.” The reason Jessica was here was to let Dolores not be worried.
“I have a brother who died from lung cancer.”
The doctor wrote down the patient’s family illness history, then asked, “How about your parents?”
“My father had cancer.”
So when she didn’t feel well, she guessed out the result.
The doctor looked up, “So you doubt you have cancer as well?”
Jessica nodded.
“It is my daughter; I don’t want her to know about anything about it. Can you give me a fake test result
saying I’m all good no matter what the result is?”
The doctor wasn’t sure what to do, so he could only answer at first, “Yes.
“I will give you a test list.” Then he wrote down the instructions in detail on the prescription.
“When could I get the results if I do the tests now?” Jessica asked.
The doctor was thinking about the whole process, as she doubted that she might have cancer so she
must do a series of tests, some of them might take longer to get results. Considering they had the
relationship with management level, so they might be able to do all tests for her as soon as they could.
Therefore, it at least took, “A week.”
“No matter what the result would be like, please hand a good condition report to my daughter.” Jessica
was afraid doctor would forget her request, so she emphasized it one more time.
The doctor nodded and passed the prescription to her, “Go get the tests.”
Jessica took it over and nodded, “Thank you.”
She opened the office door and walked out; Dolores was right beside the door waiting for her.
Dolores quickly walked to her after seeing Jessica.
Jessica had a relaxing smile, “The doctor said it must not be a serious problem, only need to run a few
tests. Let’s go together.”
Dolores said yes.
Abbott followed them, because they told the director in advance, they had every priority in testing,
drawing blood and X-ray…
It took 2 hours to finish all the test they needed.
Now, they only have to wait for the results.
“You can go back first; I will get the report.” Abbott said.
Dolores thought about it, ‘Abbott is familiar with people here, it’s fine if he can get the result.’
“Ok, we will go back first.”
Dolores prepared to take Jessica back.
When Abbott was about to take the report, the doctor who received Jessica just now came up to him.
The doctor didn’t dare to lie it to Abbott.
“I want to talk to you about the patient.”
Abbott stopped, “Yes, please.”
“She felt like she had cancer, as her father and brother had cancer history. And her brother died from it.
So, it is highly possible that she is genetic in cancer as well.”
“Are you sure the cancer could be genetic?” Abbott asked seriously.
The doctor answered solemnly, “If she does have it, then yes, it is genetic.”
Abbott said he got it.
Now he finally figured out why Jessica asked Dolores to stay outside.
“Also, she wanted me to hide it from her daughter…”
“I know, I will take care of this.” Abbott said.
“Alright.” The doctor turned around, “I have other patients waiting for me, excuse me.”
“Thank you.” Abbott said.
The doctor shook his hand and put his hands inside the pocket of the white gown and headed towards
the clinic.
Abbott went to the staircase with less people and was quieter. He called Matthew.
No matter what the result would be, he thought he’d better report everything to Matthew first.
Matthew was lying in the coach holding Simona face to face. Simona put her arms around Matthew’s
neck and she was talking with Matthew. “Dad, can grandma live with us after she comes back?”
The little girl tilted her head and asked quite seriously.
Matthew pinched her little nose, “Up to you.”
“Then I will ask grandma to stay with me. So we can live together and I will be the happiest child in the
world.”
At the moment, Matthew’s phone rang.
He held his daughter within one hand and took the phone out with the other hand. It was from Abbott.
He answered it and put the phone near his ear.
“Missus left the hospital with Jessica.” Abbott told Matthew as soon as it was connected.
Matthew hummed.
“Jessica…” Abbott didn’t know how to say it, he tried to phrase it properly, “She has family medical
history of cancer. If she has it and it was genetic, then Missus…”
‘If it is truly genetic, then Dolores and her children…’
Matthew clenched his phone tightly and squinted his eyes, he didn’t expect the news.
He lowered his voice, “I know.”
It was not the darkest time, if Jessica didn’t have it, then it was not genetic.
They can just wait till the results came out.
After finishing the call, Matthew threw the phone aside. His fingertip lifted his daughter’s jaw and he
was looking at her carefully. She had bright eyes, they are clear and pure, they looked like shinning
stars. Her beautiful face was like a doll, which was so adorable.
Matthew kissed her forehead and embraced her.
She was like an angle; the god wouldn’t deprive her health.
“Daddy…”
