Chapter 663 Cecelia Had An Idea
Hartwell rolled his eyes at ir. "That''s because I''ve never beenid up in the hospital like you."
ir retorted, "Humph! It is what it is."
Hartwell frowned. "How''d it happen, anyway? Wasn''t Wesley supposed to be protecting you?"
"Nothing he could have done. Someone handed me a micro-SD card. Some guys were after it. They
knew Wesley was in the hospital, so they figured they could do what they wanted." ir never med
Wesley for what happened. In fact, she was grateful to him—he saved her again.
She still remembered how, surrounded by a dozen armed gangsters, Wesley had insisted the leader

carry her out. And the man walked into an ambush set up by the soldier.
"So, you''re defending him now? I can''t say anything bad about him? Let me remind you, youngdy,
you''re not dating him. He won''t even admit you''re his girlfriend." Hartwell got mad every time he
thought of it.
ir shrugged. "Not his fault either. I just have to be more persistent."
"Stop defending him! Wise up! There are so many fish in the sea. Why him? Can''t you live without
him?" Hartwell was deeply disappointed.
Sensing his anger, Joslyn wasn''t happy. She red at him. "Hartwell! What is wrong with you? ir is
hurt. Quit stressing her out."
Hartwell made no retorts.
ir touched Joslyn''s hand and said quietly, "It''s okay. I know he means well. You should chill too.
Stress is bad for the baby."
"I''m not mad. I guess I was pretty easy to date, so he doesn''t know what it''s like. I should have yed
hard to get. Then he''d have a better idea of what you''re going through. He wouldn''t talk to you like
that." Joslyn rolled her eyes at Hartwell.
Hartwell didn''t say a word.
ir was amused by Joslyn''s reactions. "Pah! You were so infatuated with him. Someone was so
excited after they were asked out that they couldn''t get to sleep. I wonder who that was."
Joslyn blushed. She rolled her eyes at ir and chastised, "Whose side are you on? Keep going on
like that, I''ll stop feeding you."
"I''m sorry, Mommy Joslyn. I''m hungry. Feed me, please."
"Mommy Joslyn? That''s it. Starve for all I care."
"What? Don''t. I was wrong. Come on, Mrs. Ji, my sweet dear cousin-inw. You''re the best."
"Humph! That''s better."
Listening to the two women banter back and forth, Hartwell smiled.
In the afternoon, Cecelia''s ne touched down in the city. Her heart ached when she saw ir''s hands
and feet all bandaged. "You poor thing, it must hurt a lot. Wesley was too kind to those thugs."
ir smiled andforted her, "It''s fine, Aunt Cecelia. You know Wesley kicked their asses and then
tossed ''em in jail."
But Cecelia wasn''t done. "Look at you. You''re so thin. What was Wesley thinking? I''m calling him right
now to give him a piece of my mind."
Unwilling to let Wesley take the me, ir exined at once, "Hey, calm down. He actually took
really good care of me. It''s just that I''m still recovering. So''s my appetite."
When she heard that, Cecelia immediately called a cook she knew in the city and asked him to make
some soup for ir and bring it right to the hospital.
Then she held ir''s hand andined, "What''s up with you and Wesley? When are you going to
ask him out? I want a grandson! ir, think about me. If— Wait, I probably need to talk to Wesley,
huh?"
ir couldn''t agree more.
Cecelia took a while to think, and then asked, "ir, you like Wesley, right?"
ir flushed and nodded.
"How much do you like him? Enough to do anything for him?" Cecelia continued.
ir nodded again. She owed him her life. Doing things for him was the least she could do.
"All right then. I have an idea. It''ll bring you and Wesley together. Want to hear it?" Cecelia said.
"Yeah." Then Cecelia told her about her n.
Afterwards, she added, "What do you think? We can let Niles in on it too."
When she heard what Cecelia had nned, ir gaped at her. "It''s like a soap opera," she
"It doesn''t matter. No better time than the present. We have to give it a go."
ir weighed the matter in her mind. Nothing was more important than being with Wesley. "No
problem! I''m on board, Aunt Cecelia," she decided.
That evening, Wesley received a call from his mom. "Boo...hoo..."
"What''s wrong, Mom?" Wesley was worried when he heard his mom crying on the phone. Did someone
mess with Cecelia? Unlikely. No one had the guts for that. Wesley made sure of it.
"Son, it''s about ir... She... Oh, my God! I can''t believe it. ir... Boo...hoo..." Cecelia sounded
devastated.
And it was about ir. Wesley''s heart tightened in a knot. "What happened to her, Mom?" He just
called the hospital that afternoon. The doctor told him she was fine.
"The doctor...just told me that... ir has cancer of the liver. She''s....dying...She''s such a sweet girl. It''s
so unfair... Boo...hoo...if ir dies, what about you? What about me? How do I live?"
Wesley knew that his mom liked ir a lot. He wondered since when she cared so much. ''How do I
live?'' What was up with that? After hanging up his mom''s phone, he raced to the hospital.
It was already the dead of night by the time he got there. The hospital was very quiet.
Niles had already asked the security guards on duty at the entrance to let him know as soon as they
spotted his brother. Once they reported him on Wesley''s arrival, Niles rushed to ir''s ward and told
her, "Hurry. Get ready. Wesley''s here."
ir put away her phone quickly. Niles helped her into bed, and left the ward stealthily.
When Wesley walked in, he saw ir in the ward, alone, eyes ssy, staring at the ceiling.
Seeing him, she didn''t move. She tried to cry, but the tears wouldn''te. So she pinched herself. A
little too hard, though. The floodgates opened immediately. "Wesley..." she sobbed.
Wesley quickened his pace and pulled her into his arms.
Before this, Niles had told her Wesley was very perceptive. It was pretty hard to pull the wool over his
eyes.
She figured if she talked too much, she might give it away. Thus, ir spoke as little as possible, only
wailing in his arms.
Wesley glimpsed a medical examination report ced on the table, which read, "ir Jing, 24, terminal
liver cancer."
''Terminal?'' Wesley was shocked. He looked at her and asked, "I...I didn''t know. Any symptoms?"
