The Divorce Prescription Chapter 379

Hailey’s lips curled into a smile. “I didn’t want to disturb you, so I’ve been hanging out with Declan at school.” Her words made Pamela smile.

Just then, Oscar showed up, and Hailey exited the room. After settling down in Oscar’s office, Oscar handed Hailey a report and “Ms. Halley, the patient’s report is out.”

“How is it?” asked Hailey.

Shaking his head, Oscar announced, “The patient has late–stage cancer.”

, Hailey questioned, “Late–stage cancer? Are you sure? Mrs. Zamora has been fine all this while.”

“I’m sure. The patient must’ve been diagnosed a few ago. She knew about it, but she never received any treatment nor told anyone about it.

“And now, the cancer has spread to her heart and brain. She only has two months left.”

Hailey slumped into the chair. She never expected Pamela to have only two months left to live.

Hailey could not help but wonder why Pamela never told anyone about it or received treatment. Even worse, her children had no idea about it.

The neighbor, Nicole Walsh, and Aileen sat beside Pamela. Aileen poured a glass of water and offered it to her.

“Have some water, Mom.”

Leaning against the bedhead, Pamela took a sip and said, “Thank you so much, Ms. Walsh.”

Nicole held Pamela’s hand. “There’s need for that been neighbors for the longest time. I know it hasn’t been easy taking care of two children alone.”

Glancing at her teenage daughter, Pamela said, “We managed no matter how tough it was. It’s going to be tough on Declan now that he’s an adult.” Nicole let out a sigh. “Declan’s strong and outstanding man, just like his father. He’s grown into a great man.”

At the mention of Declan’s father, Pamela’s eyes feddened. Nicole immediately realized she had misspoken Declan’s father had always been the sacred pain. A mere mention of him would reopen the emotional wounds in their hearts.

In fact, Pamela had not been born blind. She lost her sight by crying too much after losing her husband.

quickly changed the topic, commenting, “

girl, Halley, is really pretty. She has small face, fair skin, and bright eyes. Even her figure is great. I’ve never seen such a pretty girl before. She’s definitely a city girl.”

Pamela beamed. “Is that so? Actually, I could tell she’s sweet and beautiful girl just by how she .”

Smiling proudly, Alleen chimed in, “Mom, Halley is really pretty.”

Nicole added, “I think she’s well–educated too she goes to the same university as Declan Most importantly, I have a feeling that she’s from a prominent family with connections.

“

got you transferred to this hospital with just one call. Besides, that doctor who examined you? I’ve seen him on television before. He’s ductor “Is she Declan’s girlfriend? I’m happy for him. He’s found himself a good girlfriend.”

Pamela had been listening to her neighbor in silence until she heard that statement. “You mustn’t make such reputation such . It could ruin that young lady’s “I’m sure Halley is pursued by many guys out there. Besides, Declan isn’t that lucky y to date someone like her. He didn’t tell me he’s dating anyone.”

skilled Patting Pamela’s hand, Nicole said, “I know what you mean, but Declan’s grown up now. He’s got to find himself a partner one day. Don’t you want him to get married and have children? He’ll be alone forever if he doesn’t.”

Pamela said nothing in response while Aileen chirped naively, “Declan won’t be alone. He still has me.”
