Chapter 335 "Maddie, you're really clingy." Ellie's comment madea bit embarrassed. But she then added playfully," But I really like it." "Kid, you're so annoying," I teased, giving her a mock scolding. She burst into giggles.
I stepped out of the ward and glanced down the corridor. It was empty.
Since Ellie mentioned that Brandon was taking a call, he had to have gone somewhere less crowded. After a moment of thought, I headed toward the emergency stairs.
As I approached, I heard Brandon's voice.

Over the past few days, I had been debating whether to investigate the brake issue from the accident further. But it seemed that he was already doing that.
As soon as he finished the call, I was about to approach him when his phone rang again, so I stopped.
The door to the emergency stairs was slightly ajar. I saw Brandon holding a cigarette between his fingers as he answered the phone, "You're back... Yes, we ctogether... What? Things are stalled without us? "I know. There's no need for you to come. It's already suspicious enough... It won't delay anything. I'm still working on the code..." I was very familiar with what he was saying. It was related to the company's matters. So, was the person on the phone Xander? The way Brandon spoke was exactly how Xander's boss would.
The wealthy man from the Howell family...
It seemed... that I had been deceived.
But he had assuredthat he wouldn't lie.
Could there be something that he was keeping from me? Brandon finished his call and foundon the other side of the hospital corridor. He stood besideand asked quietly, "What are you doing here?" "I was looking for you but couldn't find you," I lied.
"I was on the phone." Brandon studied my face. "How is Zack?" "He has lung cancer." The words cout heavy and somber from my mouth.
I knew all too well what this disease meant. No amount of money could change it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack when I was at Gildon Corporation, a colleague of mine got this disease at the age of 33. From the date of their diagnosis to passing away, there were less than a hundred days.
Although Zack wasn't my biological father, his love forover the past decade had madesee him as my own father. I couldn't bear the thought of losing him Brandon seemed to understand my feelings and gently embraced me. "Medical advancements have ca long way. There might still be hope. Even though cancer is still largely incurable, there are different ty I leaned on his shoulder. "I'm terrified of losing people. It seems like I'm constantly facing loss." "That's how life is-losing and gaining." He gently stroked my hair.
"Brandon, I now understand why you've been so hesitant about Ellie's surgery. I..." I hesitated. "I'm also feeling regret and fear." I didn't specify what I was afraid of, but he understood.
He kissed the side of my head. "It's going to be okay. She's such a m wonderful person, and we love her so ΕΠ much. She will be alright." I hoped for the best and prayed in my heart silently.
While Brandon and I were holding each other, a soft cough cfrom a short distance away. I slightly opened my eyes and saw Lisa. She gavea sly look and said, "Mr. Howell, Mr. Marrow is looking for you.'
Brandon released me, but I held onto his hand tightly. Keith's call likely meant discussions about them surgery. Although I didn't speak, he understood my concern. He gavea reassuring look before leaving. X Lisa approached, and I expected her to tease me, but instead, she said, "Ellie's surgery might not be possible."
