Female Novel
Chapter 2005
Outside the manor, in the guardhouse.
Gordon suddenly vomited after he woke up. There were gastric juices and blood in his vomit.
The bodyguards were horrified. The president had asked them to take care of this person, but judgingby the man’s state, he must be seriously ill to be vomiting blood.
Thus, they hurriedly consulted the butler for further action.
After the butler’s consideration, he decided to tell President Lawrence about the situation.
The butler went forward with his report when he saw President Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence in theliving room.” The man outside seems to be suffering from a serious illness. He’s vomiting blood!”
When Rosalie heard that, her right hand that was holding the teacup trembled as she looked at herhusband.
Byron got up immediately and said to his wife, “Let’s go over and look. If the situation is serious, wemust save him first.”
Rosalie nodded. Then, as if something had clicked in her, she quickly followed her husband.
Less than half an hour later, when they saw Gordon again, Rosalie was taken aback by hisappearance.
His complexion was already extremely sallow. His eyes were cloudy, and even his breathing feltstrained as if he would take his last breath at any moment.
As a doctor, Rosalie was not repulsed by the vomit on the ground but observed it.
“Rosalie, Rosalie… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry to you and your mother.” At this time, Gordon could barelysupport himself, and the bodyguards were there to help him.
A faint gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when his daughter appeared. Heimmediately looked at Byron. “Byron, I’m indeed a failure.”
“Stop talking. Do you have a medical certificate from the hospital?” Byron was not interested in hisdying confession. His eyes scanned around the old man, and he found the edge of a paper protrudingfrom his pocket. He reached out and retrieved it.
Before Byron could open the medical certificate, Rosalie’s face darkened. “This looks like stomachcancer!”novelbin
Byron handed the medical certificate to his wife.
She glanced over. The document mentioned a malignant tumor in the stomach, which may havespread to the liver.
‘No wonder his complexion is so sallow. These are symptoms of increased jaundice.’
In an instant, Rosalie felt an inexplicable discomfort.
Even she was rendered powerless in the face of such a diagnosis. Her medical skills were uselesshere.
‘Hahaha, he deserves it!’
Rosalie wanted to laugh out loud, but she could not show it on her face. She looked at Gordon with acomplex look in her eyes.
Byron watched his wife’s reaction and noticed resentment and glee but also pity with a tinge of sadnessin her eyes.
“Gordon, you’re indeed dying. So, are you afraid of death?” Rosalie took two steps closer and stared atthe man’s facial expression more carefully.
At this moment, Gordon showed an incomprehensible smile.
“Rosalie, I was afraid for several days. Now, I’m not afraid anymore. I spent some time thinking aboutwhat regrets I have in this life. I’ve concluded that I only regret the mistakes I made regarding you andyour mother. All my life, I’ve been impetuous, having more failures than my successes. I was shallowand arrogant. I didn’t understand anyone else’s feelings, and I didn’t understand what it meant to be afamily. I deserve it. I betrayed your mother, I wronged her…”
Gordon’s face was immersed in grief as he spoke. Tears streamed down his face.
“My wish is to apologize to you. I know that you can’t forgive me, but I must apologize. I don’t want todie without apologizing. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Rosalie and Byron!”
Byron and Rosalie listened quietly and did not interrupt him.
A man spoke from the heart when death was near. They chose to believe that Gordon had trulyrepented and his apologies were sincere at this time.
