Mrs. Perez panicked. All Quincy’s recent concessions had been because he thought she was sick. If he discovered the whole truth, it would likely end in a huge fallout, and he would probably go straight back to Lydia.Her eyes went dark just thinking about it. “Quincy, please, let me explain.””What is there to explain? The facts are right here. Mom, you’re not a child anymore,” Quincy replied, exasperated. “How could you use something like this as a joke?”The diagnosis was clear on her chart, and he had even consulted specialists who said this illness couldn’t be ignored. Surgery and treatment now could at least give her a good quality of life, but if delayed, even surgery might only keep her bedridden. He couldn’t bring himself to ignore her condition.”But I did it for your own good! If you’d just let me worry a little less, I wouldn’t have had to lie,” Mrs. Perez insisted, realizing her explanations weren’t working. She decided to pull out the “mother’s love” card, hoping to pressure him like she always did.She went on and on, but instead of blowing up as she had expected, Quincy simply stood by the bed, watching her with a sadness that pierced deeper than any argument. “Mom, you’ve already gotten everything you wanted, haven’t you? Just follow the doctor’s advice and start treatment, please.”It was only then that it dawned on her that Quincy knew she hadn’t had the surgery but didn’t realize she wasn’t sick at all. Well, that worked in her favor. She could keep using this excuse to make him back down.Clearing her throat, she said, “Fine. But I’ll only start treatment once you bring me the finalized divorce papers.””We’ve already filed for divorce and are just in the waiting period,” Quincy explained patiently. He had to tread lightly. If she got upset, she would completely disregard her own health.”If I don’t see those papers, I can’t put my mind at ease, and I won’t feel motivated to get treatment,” she insisted.”If that’s how it is, then I might as well remarry Lydia,” Quincy retorted, backed into a corner. “You know your health condition well and you’ve been in and out of the hospital for all these tests. If you don’t start treatment, you won’t have muchtime left.” If she didn’t have long left, then why was he even trying to appease her?Mrs. Perez froze. She was stunned. Her go-to tactic had never failed her before. Why was it suddenly useless?If those two got back together and had a child, Lydia would certainly be more guarded after what happened last time. She would have no choice but to sit back and watch Lydia carry the pregnancy to term.While a baby in the womb might just be an embryo, once born, it would be a real person. No matter how much she despised Lydia, she couldn’t bring herself to be that ruthless.”Quincy, I’m your mother!””I know. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t still be here begging you to start treatment,” he replied, unwavering.In the end, she had to relent. “Fine, I’ll agree to treatment but only if you promise to cut ties with Lydia for S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.good.
