Chapter 3 She’s back
Flora gripped her phone with difficulty and dialed the number she had just dialed. “Doctor Lee, is it convenient to talk on the phone about something? I … have something going on and I may dare not come over.”
“Okay, I mainly want to tell you that the old man’s situation is not too optimistic, the cancer has spread and is now in the advanced stage of lung cancer.”
Flora felt the fishy sweetness well up in her throat. After a long moment, she murmured in a dry voice, “How could this happen, didn’t they say it was curable three years ago?”
Doctor Lee was used to seeing life and death, so he said, “Nothing is 100 percent in medicine, and the only way to cure is to find a matching lung source. It’s a miracle that your grandmother lasted three years without a lung transplant.”
“Is there really nothing that can be done at all?” Flora’s eyes fell in big tears, clutching her phone in near despair.
Doctor Lee shook his head, “The cancer has spread to the whole body, nothing can be done, Miss Wood, you have done your best, spend the rest of the time with your grandma.”
After hanging up the phone, Flora buried her head in her lap and sobbed.
Even if she was wronged in the future, there would be no one to touch her head and say, “Flora, be a good girl, Grandma loves you the most.
Flora had cried enough, but did not dare to call her grandmother. She was afraid to hear her grandmother’s voice and cry again, and she was afraid that she would ask her what was wrong.
Her acting skills are too bad, and she can’t hide her sadness.
Then the phone rang again, and it was Clayton.
“Where are you?” Clayton asked impatiently, without waiting for her to speak.
“At home.” Flora spoke with a strong nasal voice because she had just cried.
Clayton didn’t care what happened to her and ordered in a cold voice, “Come to my office within an hour.” After saying that, without giving Flora any chance to retort, he directly hung up the phone.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The whole thing that she had tried so hard to get, in the end, was just an empty one.
After recovering from the pain, Flora hurried to Clayton’s office.
In the car, she made up her makeup, but no matter what, she couldn’t hide the red circle of her crying eyes.
“What’s your emergency?” Flora asked, pushing open Clayton’s office door.
Clayton glanced up at her, saw her red eyes, frowned inaudibly, and then mocked, “Flora, you’re a good actress, making this pathetic face for me?”
“You think too much, if you called me here just to mock me a few words, then you have achieved your purpose now, I can leave, right?” After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
“No!” Clayton’s voice was laced with anger, he hated Flora’s breezy look.
“Mr Ward, do you have anything else?” Flora asked, barely lifting the last ounce of energy. All she wanted to do was go back to sleep and wake up to find out it was all a dream.
Clayton got up and looked at Flora and said slowly, “Blair is back, you and I will go to the airport to pick her up.”
Flora abruptly looked up at him, her eyes flashed with surprise and indefinable panic.
The look on her face pleased Clayton, but the disgust in his eyes for her increased.
Flora instinctively resisted and frowned, “Why did you let me go?”
“Isn’t Blair your best friend? Don’t you want to go and meet her?” Clayton looked at Flora with a smirk, and said in an icy tone, “Or are you too weakminded to go meet her?”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
