Snare of Love

Chapter 837 Couldn’t Help Caring About Him

“I’m getting old. Sooner or later, I’ll leave. I hid it from you as I don’t want you to be upset.” Jayden was

quite calm as if he had already seen through life and death. At his age, he had no regret at all. Now he

had a son and grandchildren and enjoyed the happiness of a family union.

“What did the doctor say?” Matthew didn’t want to hear him say those words.

Currently, he was eager to know Jayden’s current condition.

“It’s not your style, Matthew.” Jayden poured tea into Matthew’s cup, “I’m always proud of you. You are

my son, but you’ve never made anything difficult for me. You’ve been quite successful in your family

and career. I don’t have anything to teach you. Instead, I’m not so smart as you. Before your mother

passed away, I hadn’t confessed my love to her at all. That’s the biggest regret in my heart.”

“Let’s have a toast.” Jayden picked up his cup and looked at his son. Matthew’s eyes deepened. He

said hoarsely, “I used to complain about you before. I blamed you for hiding the truth.”

Matthew also had a regret.

That was the untouchable wound at the bottom of his heart.

“If I could turn back the time, I wouldn’t stop you from recognizing each other no matter who would stop

me. You could live together...” Jayden’s eyes became tearful. He blamed himself for being so stupid

back then.

So what if that would impact a lot of people? At least, in that case, Victoria wouldn’t have so many

regrets in her life. She was mistaken as a mistress even when she passed away. Her biological son

was so close to her, but she didn’t dare to expect him to call her Mom.

Jayden wondered how much she had suffered as the birth mother who carried Matthew for ten months

and gave birth to him.

Matthew picked up his cup and clinked with Jayden’s. He gulped it down as if he was drinking a shot.

He put down the cup and said, “Let’s go to the hospital together. I’ll find you the best doctor.”

“I don’t want to spend my last moment in the hospital.” Jayden was afraid that they would do that, so he

chose to hide it from them at first, “It’s at the late period already. I might go pretty soon. Even if I stayed

in the hospital, I might live only a few days longer. It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

“Dad.” Dolores originally thought that it might be at the early or middle stage, so there probably be

some hope to cure him. However, she felt quite overwhelmed right now, “The medical technology is

quite advanced now. Probably there’s still hope...”

“I’ve done a complete checkup. I know you are quite filial. If you truly want me to be happy, please

accompany me to move back to the Nelson Mansion. I spent my life with her staying there. After she’s

gone, I dare not to go back. Everything in that house has fulfilled the memories with her. I dare not

touch anything. Now, it’s the last stage of my life. I want to stay at our house. When she was alive, she

didn’t have a chance to reunite with you all. But you can fulfil my last wish by doing so right now.”

Jayden looked quite haggard.

“Okay. But you must take the medical treatment.” Matthew was quite determined.

Dolores also agreed with him. No matter what, they should treat the best to cure Jayden. Earlier, she

didn’t look at Jayden carefully. Now taking a closer look, she could tell that Jayden didn’t only lose

much weight, but also looked yellowish and his lips were extremely pale.

“I agree with Matthew.” She grabbed Matthew’s hand, “We were also upset when Mom was gone. For

us, you should be cooperative with the doctor. Joshua can’t speak yet. I don’t think you are reluctant to

leave him, are you?”

Jayden agreed to take the treatment.

After leaving the tea house, Dolores started preparing for moving. Matthew took Jayden to the hospital.

He wanted to know his father’s current condition in detail.

When Dolores came back and told Coral that they were moving out, the latter sensed something

wrong. In secret, she asked Dolores about Jayden’s condition.

Dolores didn’t hide it from all people in the family. She also reminded them, “Just behave as normally

as usual. We can’t have special behaviours. Otherwise, he would feel stressed.”

Kevin was quite upset. He couldn’t believe that Jayden would have cancer, “Would the checkup be

wrong?”

“I don’t think so,” said Dolores. Jayden had been taking that kind of prescribed medicine, so it should Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

be confirmed by the doctor. That kind of medicine could suppress his condition.

“I won’t go back to City C for the time being then. I must stay here to take care of him.” Kevin had

treated Jayden as his brother-in-law a long time ago. Although Victoria and he got together not for love

at the beginning, they gave birth to Matthew. In the past decades, Jayden had been taking care of

Victoria. Kevin wanted to do something to him right now.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so ashamed when meeting his younger sister in heaven again.

Tears well up in his eyes. Kevin said, “I’m going to call Oscar and let him know my decision.”

As he spoke, he walked out of the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room became pretty frustrating. Coral and Jessica were also quite upset.

Dolores said to them, “Please stop being like this. If Dad comes back and sees it, he will feel stressed.”

“We’re not upset.” Jessica tried her best to calm down. She had experienced such moments, so she

just couldn’t help thinking about a lot of things.

Coral, however, couldn’t calm down at all.

Jessica pulled her and said, “He’s still alive, so we still have time to take good care of him. Come on.

Let’s help them pack.”

“Lola.” Theresa walked over. Joshua had fallen asleep in her arms, and now he was sleeping soundly,

“I don’t know what to say to comfort you.”

“I’m fine, Theresa,” said Dolores, “Please help me look after Joshua for the time being.”

“Sure.”

With Jessica and Coral’s help in packing, Dolores hired the hourly servants to clean up the Nelson

Mansion.

No one had stayed there for a while, so the whole house was quite dusty. Windows needed to be

opened to get fresh air inside.

The house was full of furniture and all kinds of facilities. They could move in with some daily supplies.

After cleaning up the house, they needed to wait for at least one day before moving in.

In the evening, Matthew and Jayden came back to the villa. All people behaved as usual. After

digesting the news for a whole afternoon, they looked quite natural. However, they couldn’t help feeling

concerns about him.

Coral had cooked Jayden’s favourite dishes and urged him to eat more.
