Chapter 192 Countdown to Heartache
Sierra wassharpenough to sense that something was off.
When Oscar realized he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, he told her the truth about Lily’s real condition. In that moment. Sierra felt as if the sky had fallen; she couldn’t accept this reality.
“Howcouldthis be? I’ve already developed the medication; it was supposed to cure Grandma,” she said, her voice strained. If by does it have to be cancer, and tohy has it spread?
I’m really sorry.”
Oscar was visibly distressed. Lily didn’t just have any cancer, she had lymphoma, a tough one to beat. Initially, because she was uncared for, her skin deteriorated, mistaken at first for bedsores, before they realized something was seriously wrong
By the time he took a sample for testing, it was already cancer Lymphoma spreads fast, and despite using the best medications available, he couldn’t contain it; there currently weren’t any drugs specifically for lymphoma.
“No! I don’t believe it”
Sierra shouted, unable to accept the outcome. Why is this happening?
Lily had never done anything wrong in her life. Why am I being punished like this while those heartless people are still living well? I’ve tried so hard just wanting grandma to live, why is it so hard?
Jonathan had never seen Sierra like this before; it felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest.
He quickly walked over and embraced her, “Sierra, calm down!”
Sierra pulled away from his grasp and looked at him accusingly, “You knew about this, didn’t you?”
No wonder his mood had beenoff; so he had been keeping this from her, too.
Jonathan didn’t argue but simply said, “Grandma is worried about you; she doesn’t want to see you upset. It would break her heart to seeyoulike this.”
At his words, Sierra swayed slightly, Jonathan wanted to reachoutto steady her but stopped himself.
Once she seemed a bit calmer, he spoke again, “Grandma wants you to be happy; that’s her wish. Don’t worry her, Sierra.”
Sierra remained silent, her head bowed as tears fell to theground, creating ripples. Each tear seemed to strike Jonathan’s heart, causing him intense pain.
This was a foreign feeling for him; hehadnever felt this kind of agony for anyone before.
When Lily woke up, Sierra had completely calmed down and was sitting beside her bed with a smile, “Grandma, I’ve arranged with Dr. Zahn for your discharge; we’re going home.”
SinceLily didn’t want to see her sad, she’d stay cheerful
Lily’s time was limited, and she didn’t want her grandmothertospend her last days alone in the hospital.
SeeingSierra’sdemeanor, Lily knew she wasawareof everything and reassuringly patted her hand, “Good, let’s go home.”
Jonathan had already completed the discharge formalities. He stood at the door for a while before entering, “It’sall set; let’s
With that, he gently lifted the frail elderly womanintoa wheelchair.
“You guys go ahead, I need to see Dr. Zahn forsomemedicine,Sierrasaid.
Jonathan knew Sierra had some things toaskOscar,so he nodded and went ahead with Dickson, pushing Grandma downstairs.
Sierra took a deep breath before pushing open the doctor’s office door.

“Dr. Zahn, how long does my grandmahave?”
She hadn’t dared to ask this question before but now found the courage to speak.
“Maybe just a month, Oscar said with difficulty. A month was optimistic,
Finished
“I often chat with your grandma, and she’s happy seeing you doing well; she feels she has no regrets. Take care, he added.
“Thankyou
Sierra pinched herself hard to prevent a breakdown.
“Is thereanythingI should be aware of?” she asked.
“I’ve prescribed morepainmedication; that’s all. Let her leavethisworld happy
Leaving the doctor’s office, Sierra took a while to compose herself before heading to the parking lot.
All theway, she pondered Oscar’s words. Grandma only had a month left I always thought grandma would be with me much longer. If
had known this, I wouldn’t have buried myself in my research, I should have spent more time with her.
Lost in thought, Sierra didn’t notice the person in front of her and bumpedrightinto them.
“Sorry!”
