The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 492

Mandy Ainsley’s calm attitude astonished the doctor. However, he still said in a very professional manner, "That will depend on the result after you start receiving treatment, as well as on your own desire to live."

"What is the rough time limit then?" asked Mandy calmly. "Just tell me frankly, doctor. I can accept it.”

The doctor hesitated for a moment before h e said, "If the treatment goes well, you will have a year at most. If the result is not so optimistic... perhaps you will have just a few days." "Doctor, is there no way to treat this condition? Even if there is even remotely a way, just tell us. Money is not an issue."

Susan Shelby could not refrain from asking this.

Even though she had not had a good relationship with Mandy in the past, when she heard the doctor's diagnosis, she still found it rather painful to hear.

"This is not about money. It's late-stage lung cancer with a very severe metastasis. Given the current medical treatments available... it's utterly unbeatable," said the doctor regretfully.

Lucas Jenkins raised his head and looked a t the doctor with naive, confused eyes." Doctor, when will my mommy get better?"

He had utterly no idea what the doctor’s words meant. He had only understood that the kind aunty was helping them, so they had money to see the doctor now and his mommy's sickness would certainly get better soon.

The doctor was capable of telling the adults about the diagnosis calmly, but he could not help heaving a sigh when he saw Lucas ' naive eyes. Then, he said, "If you are the family members of the patient, do keep her company more for this period of time."

Upon saying that, he left the room with the nurse.

"Aunty, why did the doctor leave? When will my mommy get better?" Lucas panicked. He then walked over and tugged at Susan's sleeve.

"Luca, mommy will get better soon." A look of deep sorrow flashed past Mandy's eyes a s she looked at Lucas.

Frankly, she was not afraid now that she had stooped to this level.

Her life was destined to be a tragedy. When she was young, she had been arrogant and domineering. She had been determined that she could do anything she wanted.

However, in the end, she had lost what was supposed to belong to her. She had not managed to persist and get what was not supposed to be hers.

She was already sick of this sad life.

The only thing on her mind was... what a pity this was for her child Lucas.

Having a mother like her was sorrowful for him. He was not supposed to live a life like this.

At the thought of Lucas’s future, a layer of tears sheened in Mandy's calm eyes.

The sensitive Lucas noticed the change in Mandy, ran over to Mandy's side swiftly, and held her hand cautiously. "Mommy, you’re going to get better soon. Why are you still crying? Is it because you're going to get injections and take medicine? Are you afraid of the pain and bitterness?"

Lucas said in all apparent seriousness, "I'll be here with you. Don't be scared, mommy. You're going to feel better after the injections and the medicine."

Mandy could not hold back the tears in her eyes anymore as she looked at the sensible Lucas.

She raised her chin to stop the tears from streaming down her face with great effort.

Lucas had no idea about the future that awaited him. He continued staring at Mandy naively in the meantime.

Susan felt her eyes stinging and watering a s she watched the mother and son for some unknown reason.

Mandy tried to calm herself for a long time before she managed to hold back her tears.

She grabbed Lucas' hand and then looked a t Julian.
