Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

The blood in Arianna’s heart rushed to her head. Even though her grandfather still didn’t recognize her, he spoke nicely and showed compassion. She couldn’t have even dreamt of such a scene in the past two years.

She cautiously explained that she was suffering from jet lag after returning from India.

Upon hearing where she vacationed, Franco Sanchez said he had also traveled there a few times many years ago. As a result, he knowledgeably talked to her about the local customs.

Arianna cried tears of joy in Dr. Lynch’s office. She did not expect to be so lucky during this visit. She asked, “He will be fine, right? He will remember who I am, won’t he?”

Dr. Lynch was also happy for her, “That is wonderful. But you have to be patient. In a few days, we will do a comprehensive examination of Mr. Sanchez to check his status. There were a few things that concerned me from his last one. However, if there are some noticeable improvements, we may be able to lift some of his restrictions and change some medication.”

Arianna stopped by the church on her way home to worship the gods. She prayed and hoped that she still had a chance to reunite with her grandfather, and she would do anything in return.

It was the first time in years that she began seeing the dawn. With hope for the future, Arianna felt that every minute of life was a gift, even at work. When her boss saw her, he smiled and said, “It seems that you should have been given vacation time a long while ago.”

Melissa suddenly approached her and asked mysteriously, “Did someone propose to you? Are you going to compete for Employee of the Year? Why do you look so happy?”

A week later, she received a call from Dr. Lynch asking her to come to the sanatorium to discuss her grandfather’s condition. He had the same tone on the phone as usual and explained nothing.

She prepared for their meeting the night before and went to bed early, but it was a restless night. The images of Travis at the airport came to her head. Ryan’s words about similar fates were echoing in her ears.

Why did she think about them? She tried to ignore Travis’s world at all times.

Arianna woke up in a sweat and took a shower. Then she took two sleeping pills and turned the air conditioner a few degrees down before covering her body in a thick comforter. When she finally fell asleep, her dreams took her back to when she was seventeen years old.

Her misfortunes ran through her mind one by one, like a movie. She saw her first time facing death, her first time facing deception, her first real temptation, and the first time she was completely desperate.

During their meeting, Dr. Lynch explained that there was a malignant tumor found in Mr. Sanchez’s brain. The preliminary scans showed that the tumor had been there for a few years. Additionally, his heart attack caused a small stroke, leaving an irremovable blood clot in his brain.

The prolonged existence of the tumor meant that his nerves had been oppressed for years, likely causing his madness and memory loss over the years. Recently, because of the sudden growth of the tumor, the pressure in his brain had shifted, and his condition had been slightly alleviated.

Dr. Lynch tried to keep his expression indifferent to keep Arianna from getting scared.

She was listening to his words as if she was listening to the evening news broadcasting a natural disaster in the corner of the world. She felt sorry, pitiful, and very emotional, but the problem was far away from her.

At the moment, she felt like a person’s destiny, and experiences were determined by fate the moment they were born. Yesterday she was still hoping for a future with her grandfather, but now it felt like it was never even an option.

He saw her eyes repeatedly land on the small pot holding a green plant. It was sprouting on the windowsill. He called to her, “Miss Jenkins! Miss Jenkins!”

“Sorry, Dr. Lynch. Is it possible to transfer my grandfather to another hospital?” Arianna’s voice was surprisingly calm.

“Don’t apologize, I understand. In my experience, a general hospital environment is not ideal for the recovery of the elderly. If he is emotionally impulsive, the consequences can be very serious.”

“But this is not a surgical hospital.”

“Our testing equipment is state of the art. And Mr. Sanchez’s condition is not suitable for surgery. Only medicinal control is recommended for now, so there is no advantage in going to a general hospital. There will be several neurosurgeons coming to consult on Mr. Sanchez’s case, of course.”

“They will be here by the weekend at the latest. With my research and experience with your grandfather combined with their skills, you can rest assured he will receive the best treatment possible.”

“They are willing to come here for an old man?”

“Mr. Sanchez is a key patient for those who are funding the research in his condition. The donor thinks his case is very special. Additionally, the neurosurgeons will be examining other cases as well.”

“Doctor Lynch, how long will my grandfather live?”

He let out a deep sigh before saying, “There is no way of knowing. But don’t stop praying. A miracle happens every day, Miss Jenkins.”

A few days later, the neurosurgeons concluded that Franco Sanchez’s tumor was indeed inoperable and could worsen severely at any moment. Even with the use of drugs, he would only have half of a year to live at best.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“However, there are always miracles.” They repeatedly reminded her about it.

Arianna smiled as she watched the experts leave. She was proud of herself for being able to keep it together and seem professional.

The next day, Arianna began the paperwork necessary to quit her job.

Melissa said, “You are insane. I was recruiting one person for the position below us, and do you know how many applicants there were? Three hundred people! Arianna, it’s going to be impossible to find a job!”

“My grandfather is seriously ill, and he is all alone.”
