Chapter 92 Her Another Absence


    Chapter 92 Her Another Absence


    The rescue operation to save Cason proved to be quite challenging. It wasn''t until half-past five that the


    doctors finally wheeled him out.


    As Penny gazed at her father, his face covered by an oxygen mask, a wave of bitterness overwhelmed


    her. "Doctor, is my father''s condition really serious?"


    Cason had been consumed with thepany''s affairs for years, neglecting his own health and never


    undergoing medical examinations. Any pain he experienced was merely alleviated with painkillers.


    Penny couldn''t help but recall the days when her mother was still alive. Even then, Cason''s health was


    already in a fragile state.


    During those times, her mother would often say that as long as they earned enough money, they could


    purchase a house in Prodale County, tend to a garden full of flowers and vegetables, and live a


    peaceful life.


    When her mother married her father, their days became incredibly difficult, and they faced


    discrimination from others.


    Cason, burdened with guilt towards his wife, always harbored the aspiration of making a fortune and


    providing her with a better life.


    Unfortunately, he was oblivious to what her mother truly desired.


    Even when thepany finally started generating profits, it was toote.


    Penny''s mother passed away, leaving behind a lifetime of unfulfilled dreams. Despite their years of


    hard work, they were never able to experience the good life they had envisioned.


    Instead, Helen reaped the benefits.


    As the doctor removed his mask and nced at Penny, he asked, "Who are you in rtion to the


    patient?"


    "I''m his daughter," Penny replied.


    Motioning for the others to move Cason into the hospital room, the doctor pointed toward his office.


    "The situation is a bitplicated. Please apany me to my office."


    Penny nodded and followed his steps.


    As soon as they entered the office, the doctor let out a deep and heavy sigh.


    "Ms. Stuart, I regret to inform you that your father is suffering from advanced-stage liver cancer. Now,


    we no longer rmend surgical intervention. He likely has approximately one year left, so it would be


    wise for you to start preparing yourself mentally."


    Penny felt as though her entire world was spinning.


    How could this be happening?!


    "Doctor, are you sure?"


    The doctor nodded solemnly. "That is what the examination has revealed. The cancer has already


    metastasized. He has been experiencing pain for the past two years, but he didn''t pay much attention."


    "Now, he can only rely on painkillers, and we should arrange for him to be admitted to the hospital


    soon. Additionally, his liver enzymes are elevated, likely due to histe nights andck of proper rest.


    Given his age, prioritizing his health is of the utmost importance. Ms. Stuart, you must persuade him to


    rest well and get enough sleep," he added.


    Penny stood there, speechless, unable to utter a word.


    The doctor knew that it would be hard for her to ept it. With a heavy sigh, he felt at a loss for further


    words.


    Penny left the doctor''s office in a daze, her thoughts in disarray.

    At the airport, Ondo and the others had already arrived.


    He realized that he hadn''t received any replies from Penny.


    He furrowed his brow and sent another message. [Where are you?]


    But he still failed to get any response.


    Then he decided to enter the terminal directly.


    Zane, observing his demeanor from behind, whispered, Is Ms. Stuart not here? Should I make a call?"


    A chill shot through Ondo''s eyes. "No need."


    Finished, they waited for Rex toe out.


    Rex, not in the best of health and tired from the ne journey, had a smile on his face at the thought of


    seeing Penny.


    However, upon emerging from the airport, he found no trace of her.


    Instead, Ondo stood there obediently waiting.


    Rex''s face immediately darkened. "Where is Penny?"


    But Ondo replied coldly, "Grandfather, let me take you back to the old house. Dinner has already

    been prepared."


    "Ondo, did you and Penny have a disagreement? As a man, you should be more considerate


    towards her. Do you realize how exceptional Penny is? It''s just that she can be stubborn at times." Rex


    inquired.


    Ondo remained angry and his impression of Penny was already tainted.


    Could it be that since he had agreed to resolve the matter of the second round of funding with her, she


    no longer suit the need to appease Rex?


    "Ondo, I am speaking to you," Rex pressed on, hoping to get some answers.


    Ondo didn''t dare to anger his grandfather, especially considering the doctor''s warning about avoiding


    any form of stimtion for him.


    So he replied, "Grandfather, I understand your concern. It''s possible that Penny got dyed with work


    today. I will reach out to herter to check on her."


    Rex''s expression softened as he nodded in agreement, a smile creeping onto his face.


    "It sounds reasonable. I''ll also give Penny a call. She must be upied with something important;


    otherwise, she wouldn''t have missed picking me up. I even specifically informed her of my arrival.


    There must be some urgent matter she''s dealing with."


    In Rex''s opinion, there must be a reason for Penny''s absence.


    However, Ondo held a different perspective. He believed that she did it on purpose.


    She broke their agreementst time, and now she was absent again.


    Was it the upbringing of the Stuart family?
