“That is also a good idea.” There was no other way in this situation.
Jeffery and Eddie had joined forces to be completely ruthless. Even if Dolores was pregnant, they could still get her in.
At this moment, Jessica walked in supported by medical staff.
Matthew looked at the doctor who followed her and asked, “How is she now?”
“All of the tests are done. We will not be able to make a treatment plan until the results come out.” The doctor said. He wanted to say more but hesitated, as if he was worried about Jessica, and then said, “Let’s discuss this outside.”
Jessica sat on the bed without speaking. She knew her condition.
Matthew followed the doctor outside. After making certain that Jessica couldn’t hear them at all, the doctor said, “The patient’s condition is not optimistic. If she has a strong desire to survive, there are some medicines that can be used as treatment even right now. It might take long, but it won’t harm her body that much. It should be no problem for her to live for a few years, if she… but I think her attitude is comparatively negative.”
The doctor was not afraid of the patient’s illness, but he feared that the patient was going to give up and not have the will to survive.
“Thank you. I understand. Then I will leave her treatment in your hands.” Matthew said slowly. He was afraid that Jessica had this attitude because seeing Randolph die had made her let go the hatred in her heart and she didn’t have much desire left to live.
This doctor was quite young and had studied abroad for many years. He specialized in terminal illnesses. He looked young but was very capable. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, “Of
course, this is what a doctor should do. The director is also taking special care for this matter. We will definitely do our best.”
He paused and then said, “I have other patients to see, so I will take my leave first.”
Matthew nodded. After the doctor left, he stood in the corridor not returning to the ward. Instead, he bowed his head and pinched between his eyebrows. Jessica’s attitude made him very uneasy.
Her son died and she avenged him by killing Randolph. But had she ever thought about Dolores?
Dolores was also her daughter. She followed her through so many hardships, now that she was relieved of her pain, had she ever thought about what was going to happen to Dolores?
Matthew thought that Jessica was too selfish and thought only about herself, not about her daughter.
He let out a heavy sight, then turned and walked into the ward.
Jessica’s complexion seemed sick, her figure was skinny, her eyes were sunken, looking dim and lifeless.
Seeing Matthew walk in, she pulled a smile on her face, “Thank you for not letting Dolores know.”
Matthew looked at her, “Do you still care about her?”
Jessica was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t expect Matthew to suddenly say such a thing, “She… is my daughter. Of course, I care about her.”
Although, Matthew was dissatisfied with Jessica’s behavior, he still couldn’t disrespect her because she was Dolores’s mother. “If you still care about her then cooperate with the doctor for treatment and stay with her for a few more years. Don’t make her sad.”
“She is living quite well now…”
“If her mother dies, would she still be able to live well?” Matthew interrupted her and asked.
Jessica opened her mouth but then swallowed whatever words she was about to blurt out.
“I hope you can live well for her.” After saying that, Matthew turned and left the ward.
Boyce looked at Matthew’s back, probably knowing what the doctors had said to him. He comforted Jessica, “He has been busy lately and has a lot of things to do. Don’t take offense. However, he is right. For your daughter, you must actively cooperate with the treatment and spend more years with her. I think you also think the same way, right?”
Jessica said nothing. Indeed, she felt that it didn’t matter if she was alive or dying. She had already avenged her son.
As for Dolores, who had suffered a lot in her past, Matthew treated her very well now. Dolores was definitely going to have a good time in the future, so she had no regrets.
“I am tired.” Jessica didn’t want to talk anymore.
Boyce naturally knew that this was her way of telling him to leave. He was an outsider and had no choice but to leave first.
There was a nurse for her there. Jessica had someone to take care of her, so Boyce just left.
Matthew left the hospital and went to the company. After parking the car, he received a call from Armand.
The video that was circulating online of Dolores killing had been controlled already. Several media outlets who had posted the video had been held accountable. For a matter that the police hadn’t even released any evidence for, they came to the conclusion by themselves which constituted civil liability for
spreading rumors. Also, several people who specifically attacked Dolores with hate comments were also taken to court.
“The results will be out today.” Armand vowed solemnly.
Matthew was very satisfied with this speed. He stepped into the lobby, “They must be asked to apologize publicly and issue a statement.”
“I know. The court session will start soon, I will hang up the call first.” Armand’s voice came over.
Matthew lowered his phone and Abbott hurried over.
“Jeffery and Eddie are here.”
Matthew didn’t seem to be surprised. His steps remained steady as he walked into the elevator. Abbott followed him into the elevator and stood besides him, “They are in the reception room right now, will you meet them?”
Matthew curled his lips and asked with a cold smile, “Why won’t I meet them?”
