BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239 - Sister Next Door
The next day, Normans already called Chen Zhao.
“When are you free?”
“When do you need it?”
“As soon as possible.”
“But you told me yesterday that you don’t need me.”
“Are you coming or not?”
“Fine.”
When Chen Zhao entered Normans’ room, she immediately removed all her clothes.
The first thing that they would normally do upon seeing each other was to curse or mock the other person.
However, they did not do that today. Instead, they started the main topic directly.
Normans kept silent until Chen Zhao finished the treatment.
Then, she wore her white shirt and short skirt back on without any undergarments.
“Do you have anything else later?”
“I’m going to the driving school to learn driving,” Chen Zhao said, standing up.
Normans asked again, “How long will it take for my scars to disappear entirely?”
“About a week.”
“Will you be coming every day?”
“No, maybe once every two or three days.”
Chen Zhao packed his stuff, ready to leave.
“Chen,” Normans called.
“What?”
“Forget it. You can scram now.”
“What an idiot.”
...
“Mr. John, your son can be discharged now. After three days of observation, we can confirm that the tumor in his brain has shrunk to 20% of its original size, and it is still shrinking. It will no longer threaten his life now. With this rate, he’ll recover fully in three to five months.” Faur gave John the report.
John looked at the medical report. It is a common saying that prolonged illness turns a patient into a good doctor. Since John Jr. was diagnosed, John Sr. had been reading his reports. Now, he knew exactly what each of the numbers on the report meant.
“Dr. Faur, thank you... Can I thank that person myself?” John could hardly contain his excitement.
He had placed all his hopes on John Jr. He had watched his son grow day by day, and then weaken day by day. His son even almost died before his very eyes. John had been having a stressful and trying time.
Today, he received the best news in his entire life.
“Mr. John, have you forgotten our agreement? I didn’t heal little John, neither did anyone. It was God who healed your son.” Faur stared at John with a serious look.
“I only want to thank him. I don’t have any other...”
“Mr. John.”
“Alright.” Although John did not manage to thank that doctor personally, he was still overjoyed.
When John brought his son home, his housekeeper walked up and said, “Mr. John, Mr. Risfar has been waiting for you in the living room for quite a while.”
“Okay. Tell him that I’ll be right there.” Even the housekeeper could tell John’s delight.
“Coy, ask Danny to play with you. I need to go and see Uncle Risfar.”
“Okay, Dad.”
In the living room...
Risfar was surprised to see John with a rejuvenated smile.
“Risfar, long time no see. When did you come to the states?” The two of them hugged each other briefly.
“Just yesterday. John, you look really happy. I heard that Coy’s condition has worsened, but your face says otherwise.”
“Coy’s recovered. He’s been discharged.”
“Recovered? He had tumor resection?” Risfar asked in surprise.
“Haha... Anyway he’s fine now.”
“Lora came with me too. Can you tell me who Coy’s doctor is? As you know, Lora’s condition is probably the same as Coy’s.”
“Err...” John looked very hesitant. Before he left the hospital with Coy, he had promised Faur to keep it a secret.
However, Risfar’s question put him in a difficult position.
Lora was his younger sister.
Risfar was also his good friend in college. Lora knew Risfar precisely because of John.
Lora and John Jr. were diagnosed with brain tumors at almost the same time.
Lora’s condition was slightly less severe, but she had encountered several dangerous episodes too.
There was no way John could reject Risfar’s request.
“John, why are you so reluctant? Don’t you want Lora to recover too? She’s your own sister!” Risfar was clearly enraged. He did not know what John was hesitating for.
“Risfar, actually, Coy wasn’t healed by surgery.”
“What do you mean?”
“In fact...” John told Risfar the entire story. “I’m also unsure who the real doctor is. I promised Dr. Faur that I won’t talk about it again, but now I’ve broken my promise on the same day.”
Risfar was unconcerned about John’s promise. He only wanted to know how John Jr. had managed to recover.
“Which means Dr. Faur knows who treated your son, right?”
“Risfar, don’t act harshly. Dr. Faur saved Coy’s life!”
“Of course I won’t.” Risfar seemed to be making a plan.
When Risfar returned to his house in America, he had already received all the information about Chantilly Hospital and its doctors.
Just then, two girls ran toward him. They were his twin daughters, Ronnie and Vera.
“Dad, where’s Mom?”
“Dad, where did Mommy go?”
They were only three and a half years old. Lora was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was pregnant with them.
That time, Risfar suggested aborting the babies. With Lora’s condition, it was too dangerous for her to give birth.
However, both Lora and their children were eventually safe.
Risfar was also glad that they did not choose to abort their kids.
Lora had brought him two more important ladies in his life.
Nevertheless, Risfar still felt that his life was not perfect enough.
After giving birth to Ronnie and Vera, Lora’s health quickly deteriorated.
She even suffered several severe comas. While she managed to wake up every time, her future was bleak.
Risfar carried Ronnie and Vera with his arms. “Mom has something to settle outside. She’s coming back later.”
“When will Mommy be back?”
Risfar could not answer their questions. He did not want them to see Lora being tortured by her illness.
He was also unsure how long Lora had left.
“Didn’t you want to play with Brother Coy? He went home today.”
“I want.”
“I also miss Brother Coy.”
“Then we’ll go find Brother Coy tomorrow, okay?”
“Tomorrow?” Ronnie and Vera suddenly hesitated.
“Do you have something else tomorrow?”
“Dad, can you bring Brother Coy here instead?”
“Why?”
“Because we’ve promised Faith that we’ll go to her house tomorrow.”
“Who’s Faith?”
“Faith lives door next. She’s our little sister.”
