Sheldon's Relatives

Medical Center.

The ward.

"Mrs. Cooper?"

Adam saw that familiar face, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you doing here?"

"Mrs. Cooper?"

The middle-aged woman lying on the hospital bed looked at Adam in surprise. "You know Mary Cooper?"

"You are not Mrs. Cooper."

Adam then realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "I'm good friends with Mrs. Cooper's children. What about you and Mrs. Cooper?"

"I am Mary's cousin, Beatrice."

The middle-aged woman, who looked exactly like Sheldon's Mom, forced a smile.

Clearly, she was suffering from illness.

Adam immediately took the medical record and looked at it.

Beatrice Fors, 45, was hospitalized due to difficulty breathing. A malignant tumor was found in his lungs, and the cancer cells had metastasized to his bronchi and chest cavity.

"Mrs. Fors..."

"Ms. Fors!"

Beatrice interrupted, "Since you know Mary, you can be considered her a friend. Tell me the truth, is there any hope for me?"

"This."

Adam hesitated.

"To tell the truth."

Beatrice's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice.

Adam was about to speak after a moment of contemplation when someone entered. Beatrice immediately waved and winked, signaling Adam not to speak.

"Mom, I don't want to eat the garbage at the restaurant. The food here is terrible, and I'm starving."

A tall, beautiful young woman walked in with a coquettish air.

What caught Adam's eye was that the girl appeared to be a mixed-race beauty, and her appearance was more like that of East Country woman.

This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman since he transmigrated, and he felt quite a sense of familiarity with her.

However, the thought that her mother was in the late stages of cancer and didn't have much time left, and that she was Sheldon and Missy's aunt, made her feel a little heavy-hearted.

That's right!

At this stage of cancer, there is no cure. At most, we can only remove as much of the tumor as possible, relieve symptoms, and buy as much time as possible.

However, given Beatrice's current situation, the time he can buy is extremely limited, and he risks leaving suddenly at any moment.

The pain of separation by death is the most heartbreaking.

"I'll have the nurse buy it."

Beatrice forced a smile and said, "Doctor, this is my daughter Emilia."

"Just call me Adam."

Adam said.

"Okay, Adam."

Beatrice nodded.

"Mom, do you know him?"

The mixed-race girl Emilia lay down next to Beatrice, curiously looking at Adam.

"Emilia, do you remember when I told you that you have an aunt who looks a lot like me?"

Beatrice touched his daughter's shoulder and said lovingly.

"Is there?"

The young Emilia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then exclaimed, "Oh, it's that cousin you've never gotten along with since childhood, right?"

"Right."

Beatrice laughed weakly, "She's just a fool. She was foolishly tricked by a thug on a motorcycle and has been stuck in that small town of Galveston ever since. That's why you haven't seen her for almost twenty years. You don't know how she's doing."

"Mr. Cooper has passed away."

Adam explained, "They had three children: a boy, a pair of twins, and their eldest son Georgie Jr.., is a business genius. He opened a tire shop called Tire Doctor, which now has three chain stores."

My second son, Sheldon, is my classmate and good friend. He is a super genius. He started high school at age 9, went to college at age 11, and earned his doctorate at age 15. He is currently pursuing his second doctorate at California Institute of Technology.

The younger daughter, Missy, is also very bright and is currently studying at Wharton School of Business.

Mrs. Cooper works in the church herself, you know; she's a devout God, so she's doing fairly well.

"That's good, that's good."

Beatrice murmured, "She's better than me..."

Wow! I don't know I have such amazing cousins?

"The girl Emilia exclaimed in surprise."

"Wharton School of Business is in Philadelphia, not far from here. I'll call Missy and have her come over so you can meet her?"

Adam tentatively suggested.

"May I?"

The young girl Emilia was very interested.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

Although Beatrice hesitated verbally, his eyes showed delight.

She clearly knew her situation was bad and was thinking about finding a way out for her daughter who was still in high school.

She is a single mother, and the only people she can rely on are her relatives and friends.

Her first choice was her friend, her daughter's Aunt Su, but her daughter and Aunt Su didn't get along very well.

It wasn't that Su didn't love her daughter, but rather that their temperaments and personalities didn't mesh well.

Having no other choice, she could only ask Su for help.

But now she suddenly realizes that she actually has a better option.

Although she and her cousin had a sordid relationship since childhood, it was decades ago, and it felt like a distant past life.

My cousin's children are all so outstanding, and my cousin is a devout believer in God. After all, she is family. If I could entrust my daughter to her care, she could leave this world in peace.

"Won't."

Adam laughed and said, "Missy will definitely like Emilia a lot, Emilia will like Missy a lot too. She's a really cool person."

"Real?"

Beatrice looked on with anticipation.

"Um."

Adam nodded. "Because of Sheldon's special status since childhood, Mrs. Cooper focused most of her attention on Sheldon, which made Missy really want a younger sister to play with her."

"Dr. Duncan."

As they were talking, Dr. Burke came to check on the patients, Cristina and the others followed him in.

"You two know each other?"

"Right."

Adam nodded and said, "Ms. Fors is an older cousin of one of my elders."

"Oh."

Dr. Burke nodded. "In that case, you will take charge of Ms. Fors."

"OK."

Adam was the obvious choice.

"Well then, Dr. Duncan, could you tell me about Ms. Fors's condition?"

Dr. Burke gestured.

"Doctor!"

Beatrice raised his voice and said to his daughter, "Emilia, go and get something to eat first."

"Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore."

The young Emilia said coquettishly, "I want to hear it."

"Good!"

Beatrice had a stern face.

"All right."

The young girl Emilia, pouted as she got up and walked outside.

"Lina, take Emilia over there and order some of her favorite food."

Adam gave some instructions to the nurse.

"Okay, Dr. Duncan."

Nurse Lina smiled and agreed.

After Emilia left.

"Now tell me."

Beatrice said with a somber expression.

"... Right now we can only remove these tumors as much as possible to alleviate the condition, but we cannot cure it."

Adam explained.

"Ms. Fors, do you have any objections?"

Dr. Burke looked at Beatrice.

How long can I live after the surgery?

Beatrice was pale.

"It depends on the outcome of the surgery and your own physical condition."

Dr. Burke pondered for a moment and said, "Ideally, we could have a year."

"And the worst one?"

Beatrice pressed on.

"I could die at any moment."

Dr. Burke could only tell the truth.

Is the surgery risky?

Beatrice looked at Adam: "Before the surgery, can I see Mary and the others?"

"I'll contact them immediately."

Adam took out his phone.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Burke gave Adam some instructions and then took Cristina and the others to check on the other wards.

Sheldon's Mom, Mary, was shocked when she received the call and immediately said that she and her mother would come over right away.

Adam booked the nearest flights for her and Sheldon's grandmother.

As for Missy, she also came from Philadelphia.
