When he arrived, the results were not out yet.


    Zoey and Max came to the hospital too. Ellie was stillining to Timothy. "Why did you tell Mom and Dad about my illness? It''s just a minor issue, and now Zoey and Max are worried, too." Zoey quickly said, "Ellie, don''t take it lightly."


    Ellie smiled and said, "Alright, Mom. I''m young and healthy. It''s probably just because the seasons are changing, and I''ve been so busy with the new productunch that I fainted."


    Timothy told Ellie, "Molly has to go to school during the day, so Zoey can stay with you at the hospital. If you need to go to the restroom while you get an IV, someone will be there with you." Sebastian arrived, panting because it was dinner time and the elevators were crowded. He ran up the stairs from the 1st floor to the 13th floor.


    He opened the door and saw that Ellie was already in a hospital gown. "Mom, are you Okay?"


    Ellie looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, aren''t you busy? Why are you here?"


    Sebastian entered and nced around the room, but didn''t see Molly. "Where''s Molly?"


    Timothy answered, "She went out to get Ellie some food."


    Sebastian nodded and sat in a chair, looking at Ellie''s slightly pale face, feeling a pang of heartache.


    Ellie knew Sebastian cared about her health. She patted his shoulder. "I''m fine."


    Sebastian suggested, "Let the vice president handle thepany affairs for now. Take some time off while you''re in the hospital."


    Ellie nodded. "Okay."


    Sebastian was genuinely worried about Ellie. Despite mentally preparing himself, he still struggled to voice his concerns when he saw her. "Have you eaten?" Ellie asked Sebastian.


    To avoid worrying Ellie, Sebastian lied, "Yes, I have."


    Ellie always worried about the household and thepany, and overwork was one of the triggers to her illness.


    After a while, it was time for Sebastian to go to work.


    Sebastian hadn''t seen Molly, so he told Timothy, "Dad, tell Molly..."


    Molly returned to the ward with two bags of takeout and interrupted him. "Sebastian?"


    Molly put down the dinner, and Ellie smiled. "Just tell Molly whatever you need to say directly. Otherwise, she''lle back and find you gone and start asking questions." Sebastian nodded. "I''m about to leave."


    "I''ll walk you out," Molly said, washing her hands and following Sebastian out.


    Since the elevator was still crowded, Sebastian opted to take the stairs, a faster option for him than waiting for the elevator.


    He asked, "How did Mom''s test results go today?"


    Molly''s eyes instantly reddened. "It''s most probably cancer."


    Tears streaming down her face, she choked out, "I went with Mom for her tests today. We''ll have to wait a few days for the final results to know for sure if it''s cancer."


    As Sebastian descended the stairs, he felt a pang in his heart.


    Ellie, who was always the picture of health, had copsed out of nowhere, and then the doctor suspected she had cancer, which left Sebastian reeling.


    But at this moment, Molly needed him for support andfort.


    Sebastian reached out to hug Molly. Despite his own worries, he spoke calmly. "Don''t worry. Even if it''s cancer, it can be treated. During this time, you need to visit Mom more often for me." Molly cried in Sebastian''s arms. "Sebastian, I''m worried something might happen to Mom."


    "It won''t. Don''t worry, everything will be fine." Sebastianforted her and himself. "Molly, Mom must be more worried than we are. She pretends it''s nothing, but she doesn''t really think that way. Stay by her side andfort her." Molly nodded in Sebastian''s arms.


    Molly knew that Sebastian was just as worried as she was. She turned tofort him. "You too, Sebastian. Don''t worry too much. I believe Mom will be fine. Don''t let her condition affect your work. I''ll stay with Mom and take care of her." The two worried peopleforted each other.


    Sebastian rubbed Molly''s head gently. "Molly, you''ve grown up."


    When they reached the 8th floor, Sebastian told her to go back. He needed to run down quickly, and Molly couldn''t keep up.


    "Just remember to eat, Sebastian."


    "Got it, you should go back now."


    After watching Sebastian head down the stairs, Molly turned around and headed back up.


    No one said anything to anyone else before Ellie''s illness was confirmed.


    That night, Molly stayed at the hospital. No one could convince her to leave, and she was determined to stay with Ellie until she was discharged.


    Eventually, her family relented.


    Ellie asked Timothy to take Zoey and Max home. Since Molly was there at night, she wouldn''t be bored.


    Molly sessfully stayed at the hospital, keeping Elliepany.


    Vera was also about to check in to the hospital. She was walking on thewn at home, feeling more anxious as her due date approached.


    Noah was already on his way back to the country. He knew that Vera was about to give birth, and as her brother, he had to be with her for such an important moment.


    Brianna oftenmented, "Even though Noah and Vera bicker constantly, they care about each other."


    Vera started to fear childbirth. She now felt apprehensive, even though she was usually full of energy,.


    She even dreamed about giving birth and woke up covered in sweat.


    Brianna came to help her prepare the hospital bag, and Cindy got the baby''s things ready.


    Vera was left alone on thewn, lost in her thoughts.


    After a while, Patrick sat next to her and asked, "Are you scared?"


    Vera looked down at her big belly. "I don''t know. I''m afraid of the pain and I''m afraid of dying. But then I think about meeting the baby soon, and I feel a bit excited. I wonder what it looks like, and whether it looks like you or me." Patrick reached out to touch Vera''s belly. "On the day of delivery, I''ll focus entirely on you. I''ll stay by your side, and if you want, I can be in the delivery room with you."


    Vera shook her head. "No, I don''t want that. If I see you, I''ll start crying before the baby is even born. I''ll be too exhausted to give birth."


    Vera calcted the dates and told Patrick, "Honey, Emily should be giving birth soon too."


    Patrick looked at Vera, who was both worried and thoughtful. "Didn''t I say not to mention that before the delivery?"
