Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Thinking of this, Edward Thompson’s face was filled with disgust.

Viola is really disgusting!

She always has to meddle in everything.

“No, brother, please don’t say that,” Sylvia Thompson looked at Edward Thompson and continued, “I truly believe that sister is not that kind of person. You shouldn’t have such prejudice against her all the time.”

“You trust her that much?” Edward Thompson asked with a slight frown.

Sylvia Thompson nodded firmly, “Yes, I believe her.”

Having said that, Sylvia Thompson continued, “After all, she is my sister.”

“But Sylvia, she never took you as a sister!” If Viola Thompson really treated Sylvia Thompson well, Sylvia Thompson would not have been driven out by the Thompson family.

The Thompson family really doted on Viola, wishing they could pluck all the stars from the sky to give to her. If Viola spoke a good word for Sylvia, Sylvia wouldn’t be where she is today.

Sylvia Thompson smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, as long as I am true to myself it’s fine.”

Edward Thompson sighed once again, looking into Sylvia Thompson’s eyes with a heartache.

A moment later, Edward Thompson pulled Sylvia Thompson’s hand, “Come on, Sylvia, let me take you to the hospital first.”

“It’s just a minor injury, there’s no need to go to the hospital.” Sylvia Thompson freed her hand from Edward Thompson’s grip.

Edward Thompson continued, “Then come with me to the company, and I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

Sylvia Thompson nodded and followed Edward Thompson’s footsteps.

The two arrived at the studio together.

Edward Thompson got some medicine for treating bruises and personally applied it to Sylvia Thompson. But he did not notice the faint glimmer in Sylvia’s eyes.

…

On the other side.

Jason Wycof finally listened to Viola Thompson’s advice and took the time to come to the hospital for a check-up.

He didn’t take any special treatment, but queued up with everyone else.

After completing a series of examinations, it was already two hours later.

Jason Wycof took the examination report to the doctor’s office.

Looking at the report with a serious face, the doctor asked, “Mr. Wycof, do you have a long history of irregular eating habits?”

“Yes.” Due to his busy work, Jason Wycof often skipped meals.

The doctor looked at Jason Wycof and continued, “You have a very severe gastric ulcer. Fortunately, you came to the hospital in time for the examination. If you came later, the lymph nodes would have spread, causing cancer, which is what we often call stomach cancer.”

Whether it’s early or late-stage stomach cancer, as long as one is diagnosed with this disease, it is equivalent to a death sentence.

At present, Sinian Country has yet to research a cure for cancer.

After saying this, the doctor laughed and said, “Mr. Wycof, you are really lucky! The patient before you had a similar condition, also a severe gastric ulcer, but he wasn’t as lucky as you! He was diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer and is currently being hospitalized for surgery and chemotherapy! So, we must come to the hospital for a check-up in time whenever we feel unwell! This is the immune system’s plea for help!”

As a doctor, he had seen many patients who took minor illnesses lightly and ended up with major illnesses, regretting it later.

Hearing this, Jason Wycof’s face changed, “Is it that serious?”

He thought he just had a common stomach problem, but it turned out to be so severe.

As a human being, everyone fears death, and Jason Wycof is no exception.

The doctor nodded and said, “You young people are really irresponsible to yourselves! I’ll give you some medicine, and remember to have regular meals and eat three normal meals a day. Also, you must come to the hospital for a check-up every three days.”

“Alright.”

Until he left the hospital, Jason Wycof was still somewhat dazed, with the doctor’s words echoing in his ears.

It was close.

Just a little bit more, and he wouldn’t have been able to return today.

After going back, Jason Wycof handed over his work and planned to take a break for a while. From the beginning of the year until now, he had been busy with work, even spending the New Year’s Eve on inspection tours, his nerves always tense.

After dealing with work matters, Jason Wycof asked his assistant to buy some nutritional supplements and drove to his mother’s house.

Mother Lu was watering the plants in the yard when she saw Jason Wycof return. She was stunned at first, then widened her eyes, asking incredulously, “Is it my second child?”

Jason Wycof was the second child in the family, with an older sister.

Mother Lu lived alone, raising two dogs and a yard full of plants. In her spare time, apart from watering her flowers, she would walk her dogs. Although her later years were not very colorful, she enjoyed a comfortable life.

“Mom, it’s me.” Jason Wycof said with a smile.
