Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

In the end, Tillie agreed.

Edmund began to take charge of Mr. Zander's treatment plan. However, the results he obtained from the doctor were far worse than he had expected.

“Mr. Cooper, the patient's condition is not looking very pleasant. He has colorectal cancer. What we can do now is to let him undergo surgery to remove the tumor, but there is no guarantee that the cancer will not return.”

Cancer again?

As Edmund heard the word, the images of the medical report Riley had handed him flashed across his mind.

All of a sudden, his heart felt even heavier.

After he had gotten married, Edmund had lived in a frolicking manner. The thought that someone was suffering all this while did not even cross his mind.

“Noted.”

Edmund did not make a decision right there and then. Instead, after hearing what the doctor said, he went out of the doctor's office.

All the while, Tillie had been staying by his side. Upon seeing that he left without a word, anxiety rose to her chest. “What's going on? Why aren't you agreeing to Dad's surgery?”

“It's not that,” answered Edmund. “I just want to ask my friends if there are any other better hospitals. Right now, our priority is to make sure that nothing happens to Dad”

Edmund turned around to look Tillie straight in the eyes when he answered. That was the first time he ever answered her question seriously.

The moment he finished explaining, it did not escape his notice that Tillie was taken aback. Her calm expression a moment ago began to slip away as her eyes reddened once again.
