Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 137~ Selfish woman

Celeste Anderson Kingsley hid a smirk as cameras flashed before her taking pictures and videos of her.

It was the myelodysplastic syndromes world awareness day and she volunteered to be interviewed as a parent whose son was suffering from the rare disease.

The host glanced at her and remarked, "Mrs Kingsley, I must applaud you for doing this. I'm sure it's not easy."

Celeste wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes and sniffed before saying, "It's not easy to come out in the open and talk about this. However, today, I want to use my family's story to encourage someone who's going through the same situation."

The host nodded. She glanced down at her script and asked, "So, you mentioned your son has cancer and has only a few months left to live, which one among your two sons has this illness and how are you coping as a family?"

Celeste glanced at the camera, the look on her face sad as she announced, "It's with deep sadness that I announce that Ryan Kingsley, the current CEO of the Kingsley group, has a rare blood cancer. We've tried all we can as a family, but sadly, nothing worked. His time is now limited and we might lose him at any time."

She clamped a hand over her mouth and let out a few sobs. "I'm sorry, I promised myself not to cry, but I can't help myself. My heart breaks for Ryan, he's still so young and his children still need him."

The host's eyes widened. She took some tissue and passed it to Celeste as she uttered, "I'm so sorry to hear that. This is so sad for Ryan Kingsley."

Celeste nodded as she wiped her non-existent tears, saying, "It's really sad for us as a family. But we are going to be there for Ryan in his last days. Family should stick together in these trying times."

"That's right," the host remarked. "It's good to know that despite being wealthy, your family sticks together and supports each other during difficult times."
