Rex quickly called the doctor and let him come over.
Vincent carried Emily into the room and wiped her feet with a wet tissue and wiped it with a dry tissue. Then, he looked at her and asked, “You can’t sleep?”
Emily looked at him and suddenly went forward to hug him.
Vincent guessed that Emily must have heard what Donna had just said and was frightened.
Vincent patted her back to comfort her. “If you can’t sleep, I’ll read a story for you. I won’t leave until you fall asleep.”
But she just didn’t let go of him.
Vincent also didn’t refuse. After a while, he felt something on his shoulder and heard her steady breathing. Vincent turned his head and saw that Emily had fallen asleep, but her hands were still firmly around his neck.
Rex opened the door and came in. When he saw this scene, he immediately stretched out five fingers to cover his eyes, leaving only a gap. “Mr. Vincent…”
Vincent waved his hand to let Rex go out.
Rex was at a loss and whispered, “Donna fainted.”
“Let a doctor come,” Vincent said indifferently.
“I have already called.”
Vincent raised his eyebrows. His look was as if saying, “Then why do you come?”
Rex said lightly, “I just tell this to you.”
Vincent coldly said, “Get out.”
“Alright!” Rex quickly went out.
The next day, Donna failed to get out of bed to eat meals. The doctor suggested that she go to the hospital for treatment. Moreover, all her indicators were not up to standard. She was seriously suffering from low blood pressure, heart and lung failure. In her early years, she was depressed and finally left a difficult to cure disease for her body.
When Donna was sent to the City Hospital, Emily saw Jackson at the entrance of the hospital. Probably because it was the first time she saw Jackson, Emily stared at him for a long time, but she did not ask anyone who he was. After looking back, she quietly followed the doctor to the ward.
Next was a series of checks. Donna was very weak, and she always felt her throat dry and itchy. She could not help but want to cough when she spoke, but she forcibly held it back.
She looked at Emily and wanted to say something, but in the end, she kept quiet. She just looked at her and silently cried.
Emily did not cry. Just like when she heard the news of her father’s death that day, she sat there quietly. Completely ignoring others’ discussion, she was only immersed in her own world.
Donna did not want to do to have the operation. The doctor’s suggestion was the same. The pain caused by the surgery was certain, and the chances of recovery after the operation were so small. Right now, she could only survive for half a month.
Jackson was busy dealing with it. He met the directors of many hospitals, called the experts in and outside of the country, and discussed intensely in the doctor’s office almost every day.
Kamron also came to the hospital a few times and did not say anything to Donna. He just brought a bunch of flowers over and sat quietly with Donna who was about to leave the world.
Over the past few days, Kamron had almost figured it out. His mother had passed away a long time ago. After so many years, his father finally met someone he liked and made many mistakes because of it. Although he did not want others to replace his mother in his father’s heart, seeing his father’s lonely appearance these days, he suddenly understood it. After all, it was just that there would be one more person at his house.
But by the time Kamron figured it out, he found that Donna’s days were numbered. God really loved to play tricks on humans.
In the end, Jackson decided to respect Donna’s own wishes and go home to recuperate. In fact, everyone knew that she was going home to wait for death. She did not accept any medicine or equipment treatment. The pain from her diseases had already tormented her for too long. She did not want to leave this world in pain in hospital. She hoped to pass away at home, where she could feel at ease and warm. She wanted her family members to stay by her side.
Jackson drove them back to the villa in City Y.
In the hot summer, cicadas chirped from the trees. Donna looked at the big tree outside the window with a soft look, “Emily, do you remember? When you were young, you always liked to climb trees. There were insects on the trees, but you didn’t listen to me when I told you not to do so. Later, you were bitten by insects and cried in my arms at night…”
Emily sat at the table, practicing her calligraphy. She now could write many names well. Maury Britt, Donna Cater, Vincent Scavo, Rex Greer, Kamron Heyton, and the name of the doctor in charge.
That day, Kamron came over to deliver something. When he saw that Emily was practicing calligraphy, he casually signed his name on the side and said that she could practice writing his name. He had not expected Emily to really do it.
After Donna finished speaking, she did not expect Emily to respond. These days, Emily still was silent. She often sat there alone to practice calligraphy. Besides, she would just squat at the door and stare at the ants on the ground for a long time. Vincent carried the little puppy over. The little puppy was now white and chubby. All the guards felt it cute, but Emily still showed a poker face.
Occasionally, she would sit quietly on the sofa with the puppy to watch TV, take a nap with the puppy, listen to Vincent reading stories with the puppy … Sometimes, she would fall asleep quietly when Donna combed her hair.
One day, Donna came home with a bunch of newly picked wild chrysanthemums in her hand. She smiled at Emily. “Emily, do you think the flowers I picked are beautiful?”
Emily looked up, and Donna was smiling.. Donna was about to find a vase, but suddenly, she fainted and fell to the ground.
