The reason Stella wanted to have the surgery right away was because she was afraid that his father's
tumor was malignant and that he would know about it personally. While he was in a coma, she wanted
to get the surgery done so that if it was really malignant, he could hide it from him.
"It can't be done, no matter how big the surgery is, it has to be done when all the body signs are
normal. We have to wait two days for Rufus to wake up and recuperate before we can do this surgery."
Kevin was a professional doctor and had to stand in a professional perspective. He could not mess
around just because he was a familiar person, it could easily kill the patient.
"Then if he wakes up, no one will be able to hide it from him."
Stella looked at the not-so-optimistic situation and began to cry, and Joshua kept comforting her.
"Stella, Rufus is such a smart person, no matter how much we try to hide it, it's useless. You shouldn't
worry too much, after all, we don't know the nature of the tumor yet."
Kevin relieved Stella, to be honest, he had no way to give a judgment with his naked eyes.
"Brian, let Rufus stay in the hospital stay, even if it is benign tumors, it must be treated surgically. He
may stay in the hospital for half a month or even longer."
Because it might be malignant tumor. But he couldn't say it so arbitrarily, or Stella would collapse.
"Ok."
Brian was terrified, feeling helpless and scared for the first time in the face of his father's affairs.
"Dr. Burns, when will Rufus wake up?"
Winnie opened her mouth to ask, but her voice was clearly shaky.
"It'll probably be tomorrow morning."
"Since so, Joshua, take Stella back first."
"Go home and come over early in the morning."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Kevin could only preside over the situation for now.
"Okay, I'll take her back."
"Stella, don't cry, Dad will be fine. I'll take you home first and tomorrow we'll ......"
Joshua was also having a hard time accepting what had happened today, but at this moment, if he
didn't keep his cool, Stella wouldn't be able to hold out. He persuaded Stella, but Stella couldn't even
listen.
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying here with Dad."
When Stella heard that, she cried even harder.
Winnie couldn't help but drop tears, Brian didn't cry but always frowned, with a depressed look.
"Stella, Winwin and Brian will be here, you should go back first. If you can't hold it together, this family
will be even more chaotic."
Kevin persuaded once more, afraid that Stella could not support herself of she was pregnant.
"Sis, go back, I'll be here."
Brian persuaded Stella.
Stella could appreciate how worried Brian was, but after all, it was an extraordinary time and her body
was important.
"Brian, Winwin, you guys don't have to worry too much. I'll take your sister back."
Everyone was in a bad mood, and Winnie and Brian kept comforting Stella, but they needed comforting
too.
Joshua finished speaking and left with Stella, and Brian and Winnie went back to the ward.
Brian went into the ward first, and Winnie called Vanessa to explain the situation.
When Winnie entered the room, Brian was sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, looking at his
father. Such a scene made her moved.
Brian loved his father, but he just couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.
Whatever, she said she'd stop caring about these things, so why bother again?
Winnie walked gingerly to the hospital bed and stood beside Brian.
"It hurts to see Rufus to be like this. Who would have thought that such a serious disease was lurking
in a good body? It's not easy for old people."
Winnie lamented, eyes dense, nose sour. Rufus had a hard time for so many years and he did not have
good terms with Brian.
"Rufus has a tough life, being swayed by Chairman when he was young. He met true love in his prime
but failed to end it well, and then there was a twenty-year-long penance. He is always in a depressed
mood, so he got sick."
Winnie used to think that she had a tough life, that she was the most unfortunate person in this world.
But she now realized that the most painful person was Rufus, who had never lived for himself in his life,
and had spent his life waiting.
There was no greater pain in life than to have a lifetime just slowly pass by waiting.
Winnie's voice began to tremble, she never shed tears for her affairs, but now she just felt pity for
Rufus lying in bed, so she could not help but cry.
Just then, Brian turned sideways and directly hugged Winnie's waist, burying his face at the Winnie's
belly without saying anything.
This hug came suddenly and unexpectedly. Winnie didn't know how to respond.
She knew that Brian was worried, he just didn't express it. At the moment, she didn't hear the cries, nor
did she feel the trembling of his body, just the strength of his arms holding her waist.
Winnie didn't comfort him, nor did she reject his closeness.
For a while, Winnie's tears stopped, and Brian's arms loosened.
"Is he going to be okay?"
Brian's voice was tinged with uncertainty, and although he had comforted his sister, although he hadn't
finalized the condition, he just couldn't put his mind at ease.
"He'll be fine, he has been through so much and hasn't enjoyed a single blessing yet, he'll be fine."
Winnie was also comforting herself with these words, since Penny had cancer, she was already afraid
of sickness.
It was just that now if she didn't give Brian an affirmative answer, she was afraid that he wouldn't be
able to hold out.
"It better be okay, there's a lot of unfinished business, and I don't want anything to happen to him."
Brian was upset at the moment. He had done none of the things he and his father had wanted to do,
but his father was lying here, giving Brian the feeling that it was too late.
Winnie knew what he was talking about, and that this might be a good opportunity to persuade. But
after hesitating for a moment, she still chose to be silent.
No amount of persuasion on her part would help, Brian had to figure it out on his own.
Jack took his mother home and argued with her on the way. When they arrived home, neither one of
them was convinced and continued arguing.
"Jack, your uncle’s sickness has nothing to do with me."
Maria was nervous, in case something happened to Rufus, Brian and Stella would not let her go.
"It's your fault, it's all your fault. How could Uncle have fainted if you hadn't been there and made a
fuss?"
Jack was angry, and the two of them argued in the courtyard of the villa.
"I make a fuss? Is the hair fake? Can't I talk when I eat hair?"
They had already argued about it in the car, and but they seemed to do it again.
"The hair is real, but can you get things straight before you say anything? Look what you have done.
Mom, you're the daughter of a large family who grew up with higher education. Where are your
qualities, why can't you be polite about it?"
Jack thought it was ok to speak out that if she got hair in her food, but the way she spoke was wrong.
She was obviously making a scene. The kids can see it, can he as a son not say anything?
"How can you say that? I don’t think I need to be polite to Winnie."
Maria had been defending herself and thought she had not made any mistakes. Jack was furious.
"What's wrong with Winnie? She had been busy all afternoon, how did she annoy you? She even didn't
say a word at the table, so what makes you angry?"
Jack asked his mother. It was obvious that she was the one picking on Winnie, and she was arguing.
"She's a lowlife who can make so many people not come to our house for her, do you think I have
anger in my heart? Don't you speak for her, what happened today has nothing to do with me, she's the
one who started it."
Maria started to be brutally unreasonable and couldn't come up with an underlying reason.
"Mom, don't say that, Winnie is well-mannered."
"What happened today was your fault, and that hair was yours, and you were the one who impulsively
framed people without understanding what happened."
His mom's words were so overly harsh that Jack's ears hurt from hearing them. He couldn't even
believe that his mother was such an unreasonable and barbaric person.
"You're in cahoots with that little brat Luke, aren't you? He said the hair was mine and you said it was
mine, can you prove it? I think you're the one who's making false accusations, you've been
brainwashed by them."
"I told you that hair wouldn't be mine."
Maria denied it, thinking no one would take a hair to verify it anyway.
"Mom, you are unreasonable, you know? Luke didn't even forget to put away the hair in big brother's
hand when he was in a panic. Aren't you afraid that they'll really take the hair for DNA testing?"
Jack didn't even know how to describe his unreasonable mother at this moment, it felt like his mother
didn't understand no matter how much he said.
Jack's reminder made Maria restrain herself. She thought that she had lost that hair long ago under the
panic, but she didn't expect that Luke, the brat, would still be able to keep that hair.
"They will not be so desperate to do such a thing."
"Desperate? Now you're calling them desperate. Your actions today are desperate, Mom, if you hadn't
held on to it, Luke would not have fought back. Everyone has long found something wrong and has
been respecting you, you can't see it but be unreasonable.."
Jack hadn't noticed that at the time, and it was only when Luke put his hair away in a panic that it
occurred to him that the boy had seen what was going on a long time ago.
What happened today was his mother’s mistake.
"Mom, I even think that you threw the hair in yourself."
Jack had to be so suspicious because her mother had gone too far and was clearly targeted. She was
outright angry at Winnie when she found out about the hair, but Winnie wasn't the only one who cooked
the meal.
