Let's Get Married novel Chapter 681

Karl thinks that Adonis might not be able to hear him, so he raises his voice.

But Adonis only shakes his head. He can't speak clearly with the feeding tube. However, he still tries his best to say, "I ... I know. You do ... not have to hide it from me."

Karl knows Adonis has known about his illness. But seeing him speak calmly with difficulty, Karl feels very bad. He doesn't want to tell Adonis the cold and ruthless truth, so he just comforts him. "Grandpa, don't worry. We'll get a way. If you don't feel well, just tell me. Don't think too much. You can't be stressed out."

"I'm not." Adonis shakes his head slightly. But people wouldn't notice it if they don't look carefully. However, he is almost struggling to make such a small movement. "I'm satisfied."

Karl almost bursts into tears. But he manages to hold it back. "Grandpa, don't say that. Let's calm down. The most important thing right now is to stay positive."

Adonis nods and doesn't say anything. Every time he speaks, he feels his nose uncomfortable because of the feeding tube.

Karl stays in the ward for a while and leaves with Amelia when she returns.

Only Adonis and the nurse are left in the ward. Amelia is worried, so she doesn't walk too far. She stands at the door and holds Karl's hand. Her eyes turn red. "Doctor Karl, is there no way for Adonis to recover?"

Everyone has tensed up because of Adonis’ illness. And Amelia is the most heartbroken person, because the man lying on the bed is her father, her closest family member.

Karl couldn't look at the tears in her eyes. He feels so bad for her. "I ... I will try my best, Auntie."

He wants to say something to comfort her as usual, but he suddenly remembers his conversation with the attending doctor. He should stop giving them hopes. The patient and his family have the right to know the progression of his illness.

If he keeps hiding it, it will only make it harder for them to accept the result.

Thinking of this, Karl swallows the words and says something else. "The medical team in charge is working hard. But you'd better get prepared for the result."

Amelia's tears fall. She lets go of his hand and wipes her face quickly. "My father has been well. He used to be so healthy. How does he end up like this?"

"He's getting old. Any illness would be serious to him. Besides, he didn't notice anything from the previous examination. Now, it's deteriorating too fast."

Amelia sighs. She doesn't know what else she could do. She lowers her head like a soldier who has just been defeated on the battlefield. "I know it. Thank you, and please think of some way..."

"Don't worry, Auntie. We will."

"Then I have to go back now. You go for your own things."

"Alright."

Karl watches Amelia return to the ward. He could feel her depression through the door.

Every day, he sees patients struggling on the verge of death. Although he's a doctor who could save them, he still can't escape from the shadow of death.

No one could stay indifferent when seeing others dying. They could only try their best not to think about it and tell themselves that people are born to die.

Karl does not stand at the door for too long. He returns to his office. In such a large hospital, only this small place truly belongs to him.
