Chapter 666 So Hard
Going overseas for the project really meant he was preparing to spend the rest of his life on his own.
Osbert felt like he couldn’t breathe after seeing how rxed Austin looked.
“All right, if there’s nothing else, you can go back.
“Also, remind the doctors again. Make sure they don’t let anything slip.”

Dawn was very smart. If she noticed anything strange, she would probably go to the hospital and check the medical records.
Osbert said hoarsely, “Okay.”
Then he turned and walked out.
There was already no one outside the door. After he stepped out, he quietly closed it.
Austin spun his chair and looked out the window. It was already fall. He wondered if he could still wait long enough to see the first snow this year.
Dawn didn’t go downstairs. She went straight back to her room.
She never thought that after what she said to Donald, she would hear the truth from the real person so soon. She didn’t even get a moment to breathe.
She sat on the couch for a long time, but her body still shook uncontrobly.
How could this be?
How could this happen?
Austin’s life is sometimes irregr, but he hardly smoked. <i>Why </i>would <i>he </i>get <i>lung </i>cancer<i>? </i>
After a long while, Dawn finally took out her phone and searched about lung cancer. There were many exnations, but one onlinement caught her eye. “People often don’t find lung cancer early without checkups. By the time clear symptoms appear, it’s usually middle orte stage and very hard to treat.”
From what Osbert said, Austin was already in thete stage. The specialists had studied it, and if surgery was done as soon as possible, there was still a 20 percent chance of sess.
Dawn suddenly stood up and walked two steps, then stopped.
No.
<i>I </i><i>can’t </i>just go ask him directly. But<i>… </i><i>what </i>should I even say<i>? </i>
She had no idea, so she went back and sat on the couch again.
Ethan came home at 9:00 p.m. Dulce was still in the living room ying with Sandra. He looked around but still didn’t see the familiar figure.

“Sandra, where is she?”
“You mean Dawn?”
Sandra sat on the y mat, one arm gently stopping the excited Dulce. “She should be in her room. She went upstairs a while ago. She looked like something was wrong.”
“Okay.”
Ethan walked over and kissed Dulce on the cheek. “Thanks, Sandra.”
After that, he turned and went upstairs.
The room lights were off. The dim night lighting through the window gave the room a strange, quiet mood.
Dawn was curled up on the couch, almost in a ball. It was hard to tell if she was asleep or not.
Ethan’s heart tightened. “Dawn?”
He went closer and saw she wasn’t sleeping. She was staring with open eyes, lost in thought.
“You… you’re back?”
“Yes.”
Ethan turned on the bedsidemp. “Why are you sitting here? If you’re sleepy, go sleep on the bed. The couch is cold.”
Dawn licked her dry lips. “I … I didn’t know what to do. I was waiting for you.”
“What?”
Ethan frowned. “What happened?”
“…”
Dawn suddenly remembered something. While putting on her shoes she said, “Wait for me a minute.”
She didn’t have the mood to take care of Dulce tonight, so she needed to tell Sandra to let Dulce sleep with her.
Sandra agreed right away, but she grabbed Dawn before she left.
“Dawn, did you… fight with Ethan?”
“Huh?” Dawn didn’t understand at first, then realized Sandra was overthinking. “Mom, Ethan and I are fine. Why would we fight?
She had overheard Austin’s illness.
She felt it was better not to tell them yet before she figured out what to do.
“Mom, don’t worry. I just have somepany matters to handle. It’ll be fine.”
She patted Sandra’s arm, then hugged Dulce and kissed her several times. “Be good tonight when you sleep with Grandma. No fussing, okay?”

Seeing her cute face made Dawn’s heart melt, and the heavy feeling in her chest eased a little.
After she went upstairs, she immediately told Ethan about Austin’s illness. Her voice was heavy.
“I keep thinking, if I had cared more about him before and pushed him to get a checkup earlier, would he…”
“No.”
Ethan pulled her into his arms and spoke softly. “With Austin’s personality, even if you forced him to get a checkup two or three years ago, he wouldn’t have gone. So don’t me yourself. Don’t always think everything is your fault, okay?”
Dawn understood the logic.
<i>But</i><i>… </i>
“I just want the people around me to be healthy. Why is that so hard?”
<i>Why </i>is it so <i>hard</i><i>? </i>
In the end, Dawn couldn’t hold back and covered her face with both hands.
Ethan gently patted her shoulder. After she calmed down, he asked, “Have you decided what to do? Are you going to go confront him directly?”
