Chapter 2025 | Really Want To Go With You After recollecting herself, Roxanne began performing acupuncture on Grant.

Soon, Grant slowly calmed down, but he did not dare to lift his head to look at his daughter.

However, his complexion looked better than before. The waxy pallor had gone away, but he was still yellower than the average person.

“We'll go to the hospital for a checkup today,” Roxanne told him in a soft voice.

Nevertheless, she did not wait for Grant's response before leaving the room and asking the housekeeper to make preparations for the trip.

Lucian walked over to his wife's side and held her hand. With a nod and a smile, he said, “You've done everything you could. The luckiest thing in his life is that he has you as a daughter.” A wry smile crept onto Roxanne's face. “Maybe. But the unluckiest thing in my life is that | have a father like him.” After the preparations, Lucian and Roxanne drove Grant to the hospital.

The tests took a long time, but Roxanne did not need to worry about it.

Madilyn's leave was long, so Roxanne had asked Linda to temporarily help manage some of Madilyn's work.

Linda had arranged one test after another without wasting much time.

Two hours later, the results were out. Linda even held a meeting with the various doctors to come up with a summary report.

She then informed Roxanne, “Dr. Jarvis, the doctors of various departments have come to the conclusion that the tumor in Mr. Jarvis' stomach has stabilized and is even showing signs of shrinking. The cancer cells that have spread to other places are showing signs of stabilizing as well. Hence, the doctors hypothesized that he has another three more months to live.” A sorrowful look flittered across Linda's face once she was done telling Roxanne about that, and she added, “I am sorry, Dr. Jarvis.” “He has three extra months to live. Roxanne, your treatment is working,” Lucian said, patting Roxanne's shoulder.

“Not bad. He's lucky to have so many days left to live,” Roxanne muttered in a flat tone. No one could tell whether she was happy or sad.

Linda thought that Roxanne and Lucian would be devastated, but it seemed like they were not, so it would be better for her to keep quiet.

The doctors did not prescribe Grant any medicine after his tests. They all knew that Grant only have that much time to live because Roxanne was fighting against the grim reaper for him with her treatment.

After exiting the hospital, Lucian told Grant the results of his tests.

He seemed to have fallen deep in his thoughts when he heard that he had more days to live, but Lucian could not figure out what he was thinking about.

A long while later, Grant finally said, “Lucian, Roxanne, can you take me to the cemetery? I'd like to visit her.” Roxanne, who was in the front passenger seat, turned to glance at Grant.

“Okay, we'll bring you there,” Lucian swiftly replied.

Grant's action would bring some meaning to Roxanne's treatment.

When they reached the cemetery, the sky abruptly darkened, and raindrops began falling.

Roxanne and Lucian both stood at the entrance of the cemetery as they watched Grant slowly move his way up the stairs until he reached Roxanne's mother's grave.

Upon seeing his first wife's photo on the gravestone, Grant froze and stared at her face for a long while.

Finally, he pulled the hem of his shirt and began wiping the gravestone, his tears rolling down his cheeks. He mumbled under his breath, “I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Please take me with you... | really want to leave with you now. Please forgive me...” Lucian held Roxanne's hand and guided her back into the car.

After over an hour, Grant finally trudged out of the cemetery. By then, he was soaked from head to toe.

His eyes were dull as if he had left his soul behind at the grave. He did not speak even after getting into the car.
