Chapter 211 The Misunderstanding Grows
“Don’t come over!”
Sonya stopped in her tracks upon hearing the
Words. S
away, rubbing his face, and taking two deep breath, ore finally turning around. However, he still kept his face turned to the side, as if
saw Brian standing sideways, wiping his mouth with a tissue, pushing the trash can
afraid to look at her.
“I, I was fine.”
Sonya was a doctor. She pretended to be fine and managed to deceive others, including herself.
“Before, you injured your leg and were hospitalized. The doctor didn’t mention the injury on your leg and kept asking to see your relatives. Later, you talked to the doctor yourself, although I don’t know what you discussed. But when you were discharged, the doctor hesitated to sign the papers. Since I’ve known you, you have been continuously losing weight and your complexion has been getting worse. Looking at you now, you should know what I am suspecting.”
Brian lowered his head, remained silent for a while, then raised his head and revealed a smile.
“Pancreatic lesions…”
“Pancreatic cancer?”
Brian’s smile froze for a moment, “Yes.”
Sonya frowned for a moment. Although she had guessed it, she was still shocked and speechless when he admitted it himself. Pancreatic cancer is the most difficult to intervene among all cancers, with the lowest survival rate, and is known as the “king of cancer“. “You should have been admitted to the hospital immediately and cooperated with the doctor’s treatment…”
“I have already undergone surgery, but the cancer cells had already metastasized.”
“There were still other treatment methods…”
“Believe me, I have tried them all.”
Sonya looked at Brian in astonishment, so he had already given up treatment?
“It’s not about giving up, but about not letting myself waste the little time I have left in the hospital and the torment of my body. I choose to enjoy the last moments of brilliance in this world,” Brian chuckled.
Sonya sat down next to Brian. If it were any other illness, she would encourage him to seek treatment actively and cherish his health, just like she did with Taylor. But this is pancreatic cancer, and he has already undergone surgery, and it has already metastasized.
“You told me before that you wanted to have a fake marriage with me for Milton’s enrollment.”
“Um, actually I lied to you, his enrollment has already been taken care of. I used to accept death calmly, but then fate suddenly brought Milton to me. I was both delighted, thinking it was a gift for me, and worried, thinking it was a punishment for me. The doctor said I have at most six months to live, but I don’t know who to entrust Milton to. If I send him to the Wesley family, he will end up like me, becoming a tool. And besides the Wesley family, you are the only one I can think of.”
Brian looked at Sonya and said, “I’m sorry, this wasn’t fair to you.”
Sonya shook her head, “Taking care of Milton was my responsibility to Larissa, you don’t have to feel sorry.”
“So I thought about marrying you, and then when I passed away, the custody of Milton would be with you.”
Sonya lowered her head and remained silent for a while, before finally saying, “Okay.”
“But I still hope you can reconsider, I still have time, no rush.”
As soon as Brian finished speaking, Milton hurriedly ran down from upstairs. He was holding Brian’s coat, feeling not only worried but also
flustered and scared.
Seeing his son like this, Brian hugged him tenderly,
“Dad is fine, don’t be afraid.”
“Are you really okay?” Milton asked, concerned.
“It was really nothing.”

Milton couldn’t help but turn red in the eyes.“I was so afraid that my dad would suddenly leave, just like my mom did.”
Brian was brought to tears by his son’s words, but he quickly turned his head and took several deep breaths. When he turned back, there was only a smile on his face.
“How could it be? Didn’t Dad tell you? Dad was Iron Man; how could Iron Man die?”
Milton nestled into Brian’s arms, pressing his face against his chest for a while, and then said, “Dad, I’m sorry, I will never run away from home again. If you want to marry that aunt, go ahead, even if she hits me, I’ll just cry secretly.”
“Huh? Where did the aunt come from? Who did I marry?”
Brian looked confused, but Milton was already feeling extremely aggrieved, unable to explain himself clearly. Sonya had no choice but to explain to him, mentioning the pregnant woman.
“Ashlynn?” Brian suddenly realized, “She was just a college classmate of mine. I bumped into her downstairs a few days ago and we just exchanged greetings.”
“Milton said that the child in her belly was yours, and you admitted it yourself.”
Brian blinked and said, “When did I say that… Oh, I remember now. She made a joke and said that if I had pursued her in college, the child in her belly would be mine now. I just went along with her joke and said that if the child was really mine, I would be so happy.”
Sonya chuckled, “Well, this misunderstanding was quite a big one, it made Milton run away from home.”
Brian shook his head helplessly and said, “It seems like I can’t make jokes anymore in the future.”
Brian took the Wesley family, father and son, upstairs. He first put Milton to sleep, and then came out to pour water for Sonya.
“I wasn’t thirsty,” Sonya glanced at the time, “I waited for you to tell you that I know a highly respected old doctor and I want to take you to see him. Of course, curing is impossible, but he can alleviate your pain.”
Brian thought for a moment, but then shook his head.
“Why?” Sonya didn’t understand.
“Pain also has its benefits, it can prove that I am alive.”
Sonya nodded, “Alright then.”
She couldn’t understand, but she respected.
“By the way, Milton School is organizing a spring outing, and I would like to invite you to join us. Um, all the other kids have their moms and dads, and I don’t want Milton to feel left out. Of course, if you don’t have the time…”
“I had time,” Sonya interrupted Brian, “worst case scenario, I would be nagged by Calvin for a few moments.”
Coming out of Brian’s house, Sonya drove the car and arrived at the newly rented house in less than five minutes.
She had already moved here, but she hadn’t really tidied up yet.
She parked the car and took the elevator to the sixth floor. This is a two–family house, and the front door is right at the bottom of the stairs. “Huh, why is there a fruit basket?”
Sonya saw a fruit basket in front of her house and bent down to look at it. There was also a card on top of it.
“Hello, I was the new neighbor who moved in across from your house. I hoped that in the future, we would get along well and take care of each other.”
Sonya glanced at the opposite door and realized that they were also new neighbors, and quite polite. However, the handwriting was rough and sloppy, suggesting that it might be a male neighbor or a family.
She opened the door and as soon as she entered, a gust of wind blew in.
Sonya opened the light and saw that the glass door of the living room balcony was not closed.
Didn’t she close it? I remember she closed it when she left the day before yesterday.
Sonya changed into slippers and walked to the balcony. Her balcony was very close to the balcony of the neighboring house, and one could easily step over, but it required courage.
The light was on next door, but it was very quiet. She guessed that someone lived there.
The next day, she went to the clinic to work and received a phone call from the police station around noon.

“Ms. Ella, we called you specifically to let you know that Jack’s case has been sentenced.”
