Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 210 Get Married Soon

Ten minutes later, Bella brought in four doctors. "Meggie, the doctors are here." "They're here?" Meggie reached out and held onto Emily's arm. "Help me up." Emily naturally supported Meggie by the elbow, helping her adjust her sitting position. Mandy glanced at their holding hands but said nothing. "Alright, tell me, what's wrong with my body?" Everyone looked at the doctors. The lead doctor, who appeared to be in his sixties and quite authoritative, spoke up, "Meggie, without a hospital examination, it's hard for us to make a definitive diagnosis. We can only speculate based on experience. However, speculation is not as accurate as examination results. I suggest you..." "Just tell me your speculation," Meggie frowned slightly and murmured to Emily, "He's younger than me but more long-winded." Emily chuckled softly, lowering her voice, "He's a doctor. He has to be responsible for his patients." Alex said, "Doctor, please share your speculation. It will help my mother and me decide if we really need to go to the hospital for a check-up. I will persuade her if necessary." The doctor had no choice but to agree. "Meggie has had a chronic cough, loss of appetite, and rapid weight loss, along with increasing fatigue. We have reason to suspect she has cancer." "What?!" Alex's eyes widened in shock, "How is that possible? My mother has always been energetic. How could she have cancer?" Mandy echoed, "Yes, isn't cancer supposed to be painful? My mother hasn't complained of any pain. Doctor, could you be mistaken?" The doctor spread his hands, looking helpless, "We're basing this on Meggie's current condition. We suspect it might be in the mid-stage of cancer. Early-stage cancer often has no symptoms or very mild symptoms that resemble a common cold, which people usually ignore. When pain starts, it's often late-stage, and there's little that can be done. Meggie is only experiencing rapid weight loss and loss of appetite, which is not the worst stage yet. We hope she can go to the hospital for a CT scan to thoroughly examine it. If it is cancer, we need to treat it as soon as possible."Alex's hands started trembling, his face turning dark, "Mom, we..." Meggie's face was cold as she said, "If it's really cancer, it's incurable. I'm old. Even without cancer, I wouldn't live many more years. I know cancer treatment involves chemotherapy, which is very painful. After treatment, my life might be shorter than if I don't treat it. So, I refuse any treatment." Alex's eyes turned red, "Mom, the doctor said your condition isn't the worst yet. There's still hope." "Stop it. Every doctor says they'll do their best during resuscitation, yet many still die on the operating table," Meggie glanced at Mandy and said softly, "Don't tell the children about this, alright?" Mandy nodded, "I understand, Mom. Don't worry." Meggie remained unwilling to go to the hospital, and no one could change her mind. The doctor's grim prognosis left everyone sad. Alex buried his face in his hands, silent, while Mandy comforted him with soft words, sighing constantly. The sudden change rendered Sophia, who had come to meet Meggie with high spirits, completely invisible. Though still in the room, no one paid attention to her. She felt extremely awkward, unsure if she should leave immediately. "Where's Vincent?" Meggie asked, "Is he home today?" "He said he had something to handle. He left this morning," Mandy quickly seized the opportunity, "Vincent is being inconsiderate. I know his work is busy, but he shouldn't neglect his girlfriend. It's Miss Morgan's first visit to our home; he should be with her more." Mandy glanced at Sophia, speaking gently, "I hope you don't mind." Sophia was touched and shook her head, "It's okay. His work is important. I can wait for him." "Rest assured, when Vincent returns, I'll have him apologize to you," Alex sighed, "Mom, I know you want Vincent to get married and have children. Why don't we arrange a wedding for Vincent and Miss Morgan as soon as possible? Your happiness will also improve your health." Mandy was delighted and exchanged a glance with Sophia, who was ecstatic. "I'll quickly finalize the wedding details. Miss Morgan's mother is also here today. We can discuss the wedding date and details together." Alex said, "I'll have someone bring Mr. Morgan over. We can finalize the wedding today, as soon as possible." The phrase "as soon as possible" upset Meggie. She became angry, "You think I won't live long, don't you? You're pushing Vincent to get married to fulfill my wish." "That's not what I meant, Mom. You misunderstood. I just hope Vincent gets married soon. He's my first son. He's already thirty and still unmarried. I'm very worried about him!" Meggie nodded, "No rush. I'll talk to Vincent when he returns. He must agree before we proceed with the marriage." Mandy said, "If you tell him to marry, he will agree. Mom, the 15th of next month is an excellent date for a wedding. How about we arrange it then?" "Vincent is an independent person. Whom and when he marries should be up to him," Meggie said, "Besides, I won't die soon. I still have a few years left, so there's no hurry." Alex was anxious, "Mom, if you really have cancer, I'm worried..." At this moment, a gentle voice spoke, "Actually, I don't think there's a need to rush. Meggie probably doesn't have cancer. It's very hot now, and she might be in a sub-health state due to the heat and air conditioning, leading to lung heat, causing her cough, and resulting in loss of appetite and physical decline. Nutritional science emphasizes balanced food for maintaining health. Since Meggie doesn't like eating meat, her body lacks the proteins found only in meat. She just needs to supplement her protein intake." Meggie looked at Emily in surprise, "You understand nutrition?"
