Chapter 183 Clearing the Cancer Cells

Alistair's heart lurched. What the hell kind of thing was that to say?

"Don't ever say that again," he said firmly.

Caroline, unusually forceful in front of him, snapped back, "Well, that's how I feel.

If anything ever happens to you, I won't live through it either."

Alistair fell silent.

He softened his tone, caught between tenderness and

helplessness. "Don't be silly. I'm fine. Things are just starting to look up for me,

and I'm nowhere near done. How could I ever leave you and Eloise behind? I

want to grow old with you, watch Eloise grow up."

He let out a long breath. "And I mean it. Don't say things like that again. You've

But, honey... you're going to see her now?"

She clearly misunderstood. Lowering her voice, she said, "Gordon didn't tell her

anything. You spent the whole night locked up. You must be exhausted. Let's go

home first. Take a shower, get some rest, I'll ask the chef to make your favorites,

something nice to welcome you back. If you still want to visit Grandma, we can all

go together later this afternoon with Eloise."

As she spoke, she gently cupped his face, her brows drawing together in distress.

"You've lost weight."

Alistair let out a dry laugh. It had only been one night. How much weight could he

possibly have lost? He probably just looked drained. Or maybe it was all in her
