Chapter 664 Will You Be My Boyfriend
"Yes, there are," ir replied. "I often feel this pain in my liver in the evenings. I never took it seriously,
that is, until my digestive tract bled this morning. After checking the test results, the doctor told me that
it was terminal liver cancer." Niles had informed ir about all the symptoms a patient with terminal
liver cancer would have, and had asked her to memorize all of them. So, she had no trouble answering
his question.
Wesley held the medical report tightly in his hand. His brow furrowed. This was too sudden and too
harsh, and it was hard to believe. How could a young girl like ir possibly develop terminal liver
cancer out of the blue? He stroked her cheek gently and soothed her, "Don''t cry. There must have been
a mistake. I''ll go ask the doctor myself."
"Don''t go! The doctor said that I only have a few months left. I want nothing more than yourpany in
thesest few days of my life. Don''t go anywhere. Stay with me, will you?" Her weeping was muffled as
she buried her face into his chest. He patted her head slowly.
"I''ll keep youpany. But let me just talk to your attending physician. There is no way that your days
are numbered. It must be a mistake. Trust me." That a perky girl, who was always smiling, developed
cancer and had only a few months to live was uneptable, even to a tough guy like Wesley.
Cecelia had threatened ir''s attending physician into cooperation, but even so, ir was worried that
the doctor might give their n away. Besides, it was never easy to slip one over on Wesley. She
wrapped her arms around his waist and mumbled, "Okay. But can you wait until I fall asleep? I want to
be with you."
"Sure," he agreed without any hesitation. He put the medical report back on the table.
With one hand holding onto ir, he dialed Niles'' number with the other. "Wesley, what''s up?" Niles
asked once he got through.
"Do you know a Dr. Zaria?" queried Wesley without any greeting. ir''s heart leaped at his question.
But it didn''t seem like he doubted her.
"Of course. She is an expert hepatologist. She was the one who did the medical examination on ir.
Wesley..." Niles choked. "I can''t believe this. This can''t be true, right? ir is so lovely and pretty. She
doesn''t even have a boyfriend yet. How could such a horrible thing happen to her? This is so sad..."
Then he cried out into the phone loudly. Wesley felt as if he were listening to a pig''s squealing as it was
being taken to be ughtered. It was disturbing to say the least. "Shut up!" he snapped, rolling his
eyes. "Where is Mom?"
It was Cecelia who had broken the news to him. And she liked ir a lot. Logically thinking, she should
have been at the hospital with ir in such a critical moment, but she wasn''t.
"Mom is devastated by the news. She is resting at my ce. Wes, take care of ir. The men in our
family are always grateful and faithful to their women. ir has always loved you so sincerely. Why
don''t you marry her and make her happy in the final days of her life?" Niles suggested.
The ward was so quiet that ir heard everything he said. She stifled herughter and secretly
admired Niles'' performance.
"You don''t have to tell me what to do. Take care of Mom. Tell her not to worry about ir," Wesley told
his brother.
"All right. Spend as much time with ir as you can." Saying that, he started wailing again.
Annoyed by Niles'' bawling, Wesley hung up quickly.
Wesley looked at the girl in his arms. He gently kissed ir''s hair and asked, "Does your uncle know
about this?"
She shook her head and whimpered, "No. I just learned about it a while back. I don''t know how to tell
them. I want to wait for a while."
Wesley nodded. His brow was knitted the whole time. "How are you feeling now? Do you feel any
pain?"
"No, I''m feeling fine now. It''s no wonder that I never got fat." Her voice was thick with grief.
Wesley closed his eyes to hide the sorrow that was enveloping him. "Did the doctor say why this
happened?"
"Yes. She said that the malignant tumor had transferred slowly from my uterus to my liver," ir
replied, trying to stick to the script. ''Did I say that right?'' she wondered. Wesley already knew that there
was something wrong with her uterus. She thought that telling him the cancer was caused due to some
problem in her uterus would be more convincing.
Sure enough, Wesley fell silent. He hadn''t imagined that a small problem like that could have gotten so
serious.
The injuries to her hands and feet hadn''t healed yet. Now, she had also been told that she had liver
cancer and it was terminal. It was all too much for a young girl to face. Wesley decided that he would
be by her side to help her get through this dark phase.

"Wesley, I''ll be seeing my parents soon. They must be missing me..." The thought of her parents
brought back so many memories. Genuine tears streamed down her face this time.
It was the first time ir had spoken of her parents after they had passed away. Wesley felt a prick in
his heart as she wept. "Don''t be silly. I''ll take you to a different hospital for another examination. I''ve
never heard of this Dr. Zaria before. She must be a quack. You''ll be fine." If ir really was sick,
Wesley nned on taking her to the best doctor in the world. He would spare no cost in her treatment
as long as there was still hope.
Her tears stained his clothes. Those were real tears. She missed her parents. And she was also moved
by Wesley''s genuine concern.
He held her quietly so that she could let out all her sadness. His heart ached as she sobbed
uncontrobly in his arms.
After a while, ir wiped her eyes, which were red from crying, and said to him, "I''m okay now. Thank
you for being here with me. You have work to do. Go now. Don''t worry about me. I''ll put on a smile and
make the rest of my life meaningful, no matter how short it is."
"I''m not busy." He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumbs. "Don''t give up. Medical
technology is highly advanced now and we have medicines for most diseases. There will be a cure for
you. I will find it."
"Hmm. Thank you, Wesley," she said sincerely.
iry down to take a nap. During this time, Wesley went to the nurses'' station and asked, "Where is
Dr. Zaria''s office?"
The nurse being asked blinked as she paged through some medical records. "Dr. Zaria is off the clock.
And she''s taking the next couple of days off. She won''t be here until two dayster."
''What?!'' Wesley couldn''t believe the nerve of that doctor. ''Her patient is going through the darkest
moment of her life, and she decided to take a vacation? Thisdy is the most irresponsible doctor I''ve
ever heard of.''
He fished out his phone from his pants pocket and called Carlos. "I need a favor."
"Shoot," said Carlos. He was just about to get on a ne for a business trip.
"Find me the best hepatologist you know."
"What''s wrong? Who''s sick?" Carlos asked.
"ir. Terminal liver cancer,"
Wesley replied after a pause. Carlos was silent for a moment. "I''ll put Emmett on it."
"Thanks."
Both ir and Cecelia were surprised to know that Wesley would go to such lengths to find the best
doctor in the world to cure ir.
In the ward
ir leaned against Wesley''s chest, immersed in his tenderness. "Wesley, will you be my boyfriend for
the next few months?" she asked expectantly.
Wesley looked at her with mixed emotions. But he remained silent, giving her no reply.
ir got nervous. "If you don''t want to, it''s fine. I''m already used to your rejection anyway."
He gave her aforting kiss on the forehead. If she really had only few months to live, then he would
spend all those days making her every wishe true.
In the following days, Wesley, who usually tended to be busy all the time, stayed in the ward every day
to take care of ir. She felt ecstatic the first two days, but on the third day, guilt overwhelmed her.
This was just a trick. She didn''t want it to cost Wesley''s career.
