Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 1657 Alzheimer

Chapter 1657 Alzheimer

After she finished speaking, Joyce proactively picked up food for him. "Eat more, you look a bit tired."

Luther saw Joyce's affectionate behavior towards him in front of Darrin, and his expression softened.

"You should eat more too. There are my two sons in your belly," he looked up and glanced at Darrin.

"You know about Joyce's pregnancy, right? She's carrying three people now. I entrust her safety to you

in the future."

Darrin immediately stood up. "Please rest assured, Mr. Warner. Darrin will go through fire and water

without hesitation."

"Alright, sit down and eat. This is a home, not a military camp." Joyce rubbed her forehead, feeling

speechless.

"Are you going to Mufron tomorrow? Is Darrin going too?" Joyce suddenly asked, thinking of this

matter. Darrin had just arrived, and it didn't feel right to leave him behind. But if he came along, more

people would know about Iris.

She was a bit conflicted.

"We can." Luther nodded and agreed.

"By the way, about Iris. I told my mom because of the grave relocation, she will eventually find out."

Luther said.

"Mm." Joyce nodded. This time returning to Khebury, she hadn't seen Jacqueline yet.

They had only briefly met last time.

The past was in the past, and she didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

Since they were moving the grave back to the Warner family plot, it was only right to inform Jacqueline.

After dinner.

Unexpectedly, Jacqueline came to the Warner residence. Shelly also came, bringing her new boyfriend

along. It seemed that they had met while abroad, and he was tall with striking blond hair.

Shelly introduced, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is my husband, Huffman. He's from St. Denis."

"Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you all." Huffman greeted everyone warmly.

Joyce looked at Luther in surprise. Husband? Shelly had actually gotten married. Last time she came

back, she had heard that he was her boyfriend.

"Oh, they got married and obtained their marriage license in St. Denis. They had a simple but

meaningful ceremony in a foreign church." Luther explained.

Jacqueline said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao and Huffman are going to settle in St. Denis soon, so we won't see

each other often." She seemed a bit down, filled with emotion.

Approaching them, Jacqueline held Joyce's hands. "Joyce, it's been so many years since I last saw

you. You've worked hard all these years. Ah, it's Andres, he's grown so big. He's so cute."

As she spoke, she freed up one hand and gently touched Anderson's head.

Joyce and Anderson exchanged a glance, both with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Jacqueline's demeanor seemed as if she didn't remember their last visit?

It hadn't been that long. How could she forget?

"Let's all sit down." Luther also noticed that something was off. "Mom, go tell Mr. Arnold to bring the tea

leaves I brought back a few days ago."

"Oh, alright." Jacqueline turned and left.

After Jacqueline left, Luther asked Shelly, "What's going on? Does she not remember the last time

Joyce and Anderson visited?"

Shelly nodded.

"Yes, for some time now, actually quite a while, I just didn't notice it before. I realized that Mom often

forgets things. She would say she didn't eat even though she had finished her meal. She would buy

things she had already bought before. She often forgets this and that. Later, I took her for a check-up

last week."

Shelly sighed. "The doctor said she has Alzheimer's disease, and it's progressing rapidly. Right now,

she can't remember recent events, and soon she won't even remember the past. Eventually, she will

lose her ability to speak and won't recognize any of us."

Joyce furrowed her brow. She knew about Alzheimer's disease, a cognitive disorder caused by

progressive degeneration of the nervous system. Some people progress rapidly. She didn't expect

Jacqueline to have this disease.

"There isn't a good treatment for this disease worldwide." Luther frowned. "We can only provide good

care, focus on regular exercise and cognitive training to slow down its progression. Did the doctor say

how long it will be until she completely forgets us?"

"It varies from person to person. It could be three to five years, or maybe two to three years," Shelly's

face was filled with sadness. She was raised by Jacqueline, so she had a much deeper emotional Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

connection with her than Luther did. Luther was raised by Stephanie, and he was never close to

Jacqueline.

"Don't worry, we plan to take Mom with us to St. Denis for treatment. Our country has the best

rehabilitation center for Alzheimer's diseaseright at the foot of the snowy mountains. It has beautiful

scenery and a pleasant climate." Huffman spoke up at this moment.

"Yes, brother, we plan to settle there," Shelly held onto Huffman, her face radiating happiness.

"Brother, I'll take care of Mom, so you don't have to worry. You take care of sister-in-law. We heard

about Iris, it's really unfortunate. Sister-in-law is pregnant with twins again, so you must take good care

of her."

After Shelly finished speaking, she held Joyce's hands tightly.

The past grievances seemed to disappear in this moment.

Joyce felt relieved. Jacqueline would eventually forget everything, and Shelly was settling abroad. The

past no longer mattered.

While they were talking, Jacqueline walked over with freshly brewed tea.

The family chatted as if nothing had happened for a while.

It was getting late, and Shelly, Huffman, and Jacqueline left first.

When they reached the door and Jacqueline got into the car, Shelly said to Joyce, "Sister-in-law, we

won't go with you to move Iris's grave. I'm afraid it will make Mom sad and upset. After she found out

about Iris, she cried all night. She bears a great responsibility for this, and deep down, she knows it.

Although she will forget in the future, this pain will always remain."

"It's okay, you don't have to come." Joyce understood.

"In the past, I was the one who wronged you." Shelly sighed. "I know I can't make up for it, but I just

hope that you can be happy in the future."

Joyce gently patted Shelly's shoulder. "I've long let go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to this

family. The bad people have received their deserved punishment. We don't need to say such things

anymore, and we don't need to bring up the past. Seeing you change, I feel relieved. Huffman is a

good person, cherish him."

"Yeah, he treats me well. I will. Goodbye."

Shelly waved goodbye to Joyce, Luther, and Anderson, then got into the car and left the Warner

residence.

Luther held Joyce's shoulder. "It's getting late. Let's rest early tonight. We have to get up early

tomorrow for the flight."

Anderson held onto Luther's clothes. "Did Grandma really get Alzheimer's disease? I know that there's

no cure for that disease."

Luther gently ruffled Anderson's hair. "Yes, people grow old and get sick. That's why, when we're

together, we should cherish each other and treasure our time."

"Yeah." Anderson nodded solemnly.
