President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Daniel seemed to be tricky to resuscitate this time, and was not pushed out by the doctors until five-thirty.

Victoria looked at the man with the oxygen mask on and was slightly sour, “Doctor, how is my dad doing?”

Daniel had been too busy with the company over the years to have time for medical checkups, and any pain was slowed down with painkillers.

Victoria remembered that Dad was like this when Mom was still alive, and at that time Mom was always saying to him that he didn’t need that much money, it was good to be able to maintain the daily life.

But when mom married dad back then, both of them were in a tight spot and didn’t get a lot of stares. Daniel felt ashamed of his wife, so he refused the offer, always thinking that he would make a lot of money and bring his wife to a better life.

Victoria had a grudge in her heart earlier in the year that Dad had no idea what Mom wanted.

By the time the company did start to turn a profit, mom had passed away as well.

All those years of hard work and no good life. It was Cynthia who got lucky.

The doctor took off his mask and looked at him, “What are you to the patient?”

“I’m his daughter.”

The doctor signaled for the others to wheel Daniel into the room while he himself pointed to the office, “It’s a bit complicated. Why don’t you come with me to the office?”

Victoria nodded, and when the door was just closed, the doctor sighed.

“Miss Blackwell, your father has liver cancer, advanced stage. And at this point, we are no longer recommending surgery, the day is about a year away, so I hope you are prepared.”

Victoria thought she was hallucinating as she felt a “bang” in her head.

How was that possible?

“Sure?”

“Checked out is like this, at present the cancer cells have metastasized. He must have felt pain in his body at all times in the past two years, he just didn’t pay attention to it. Now he can only take painkillers first and arrange hospitalization earlier, and he must remember to rest more in normal times. His transaminases are also on the high side, this is the result of staying up all night and boiling out. When a person gets to this age, his body is the most important thing, you must advise the patient more, rest well and keep enough sleep.”

Victoria froze in place, unable to say a word.

The doctor sighed, knowing that family members generally had trouble digesting this, and didn’t know what to say.

Victoria didn’t know how she got out of the office.

*

And by now at the airport, Nick was already here, glancing around and noticing that his message to Victoria was not returned.

His brow furrowed and he couldn’t help but send another one.

?Where are you?】

But the message dropped like a stone, and his face had completely darkened as he went straight into the hall.

Declan stood just behind him, noting his blush and inquiring in a low voice, “Did Miss Blackwell not show up? Want to make a call?”

A coldness crossed Nick’s eyes.

“It’s not necessary.”

Having said that, they waited here for old Mr. Andrews to come out.

Edward wasn’t in the best of health and was a little tired from a plane ride, but the thought of seeing Victoria put a smile on his face.

But when he came out, he didn’t see Victoria, but Nick was waiting there in a regular manner.

His face sank, “Where’s Tori?”

Nick’s face turned colder at the mention of him, “Grandpa, I’ll take you home first, dinner is ready.”

“Nick, did you have a fight with Tori? You’re a man, you need to be more tolerant of her. Tori is very good, it’s just that her nature is too strong sometimes.”

Nick’s breath always sank. His impression of Victoria had long since dropped to negative numbers, was it because she had been promised a solution for the second round of financing, so she was not even willing to do the superficial work of pleasing her grandfather?

“Nick, I’m talking to you.”

Nick didn’t dare upset Mr. Andrews. After all, the doctor had told him that Mr. Andrews couldn’t be irritated for a while, not even a little bit.

“Grandad, I know. She would be delayed at work today. I’ll make a call later and ask again.”

Edward nodded in satisfaction at this, a smile on his face.

“That’s the way it’s going to be, I’ll call Tori later as well, she must be busy or she wouldn’t have come to pick me up, I purposely called Aggie to let her know, and I don’t know what’s come up for her.”

In Edward’s mind, Victoria must have had a reason for not coming.

But to Nick’s mind, it felt like she was doing it on purpose.

Last time she stood him up, this time she stood her grandfather up, and this was her family’s tutelage?
