Chapter 1493


    He was right!


    When it really came down to life and death, unity would be necessary. Once the Roberts Group took


    action against Sebastian, they would be opponents.


    In the pet store.


    I bought a one-month-old little Golden Retriever puppy, which was as small as my palm. The shop


    assistant gave me some dog food and dog toys. It looked tiny, and I had no clue how to care for it.


    Fortunately, the shop assistant had prepared a list of instructions for me to follow. If things didn''t


    work out, I coulde back to the pet store again to ask.


    It was already a littlete by the time we were done. I gave the address to the shop assistant and


    asked her to send the puppy to the Reid family home. Hendrix and I were going to the hospital to


    visit Anne. She was done with her medical check-up and could return home tonight. Valerie had


    been busy with thepany''s affairs recently, and had little time to spare at the moment, so she


    arranged for a nanny to care for Anne.


    Anne had to go back to the Moore family home tonight, so Hendrix needed to pick her up.


    In the hospital.


    After a long day of walking, my legs were really sore, so I waited downstairs in the lobby while


    Hendrix headed up to get Anne.


    I didn''t expect to see Chloe again. It seemed that she was seriously ill. She stumbled through the


    entrance and copsed to the ground as soon as she stepped foot in the hospital. Fortunately,


    several nurses caught sight of her and brought her into the emergency room.


    Out of curiosity, I followed them.


    Standing at the door of the emergency room, I asked the nurse who came out, "Hello, I want to ask,


    how is she? What''s wrong with her? Why does it look so serious?"


    The nurse who was holding the medical equipment in her hand answered, "It''s lung cancer. How


    can that not be serious? Her condition is deteriorating. She has been asked to get treatment a long


    time ago, but she brushed it off. Now, it''s gotten so much worse than before. Some people just don''t


    seem to take their lives seriously."


    I was shocked and asked, "Lung cancer? How did she get lung cancer? What''s going on?"


    Generally, people who got lung cancer had spent extended periods of time in chemical factories,


    and the cancer was a result of the toxic environment. However, Chloe had always led afortable


    life. How did she end up getting cancer?


    The nurse was probably in a hurry to leave and just said, "It''s caused by a chronic respiratory


    infection, probably due to long-term contact with chemical substances in a factory or chemical nt.


    Are you her friend? Please persuade her to go for chemotherapy. Ask her to get treatment as soon


    as possible, otherwise the consequences will be dire."


    I nodded and stared nkly at the nurse as she walked away. I was a little absent-minded. Why


    would Chloe get lung cancer? It wasn''t easy to believe.


    Hendrix called to ask where I had gone. I was stunned for a moment before I hurried down the


    stairs and headed to the lobby. He had already taken Anne to the car. When he saw meing


    downstairs, he approached me and asked, "What''s wrong? Didn''t I ask you to wait for me in the


    lobby?"


    I walked over to him and replied, "I ran into someone I know just now, so I stopped for a chat. Let''s


    go. We have to go to Uncle Charles'' ce tonight!"


    In the car, Anne held onto me tightly. She had gotten much thinner due to the chemotherapy


    treatment. I could feel the bones underneath her skin as I held her. "Mom, are you going on a


    business trip? Can you take me with you this time? I want to be with you. I don''t want to stay here


    alone. You''ve been very busy these days and don''t even have time to visit me. Don''t you miss me?"


    It was child''s talk. I caressed her bald head and replied gently. "Anne, of course I miss you! It''s just


    that I am still busy with some urgent matters. Once I''m done with everything, we will stay with you in


    Jarold City, is that okay?"


    Her little face pouted miserably in response. However, she could only nod her head in agreement.


    When we arrived at the Moore vi, the nanny took Anne in while Hendrix and I made our way to


    the Reid family home.

    In the car, I looked at Hendrix and asked hesitantly, "Hendrix, will Josiah be released from prison


    early?"


    Hendrix was startled that I would mention him out of the blue. He looked at me and asked, "Why do


    you mention him all of a sudden? What''s wrong?"
