Chapter 668 Cutting Ties
After a long time, a sigh fell softly above her head.
“Dawn, actually I didn’t want to hide it from you.”
“Then when were you nning to tell me?”

Dawn looked up at him. There was me in her eyes, but even more worry. “Haven’t you already arranged everything for after you’re gone? You thought about everyone.”
Only then did Austin understand. She had heard what was saidst night.
“Dawn,” he said gently, “eavesdropping isn’t a good habit.”
But she didn’t care whether it was a good habit or not.
“So, what do you mean now?”
Dawn raised her voice. Today she had to make things clear. “Osbert said you still have a 20 percent chance. Why are you giving up?”
“Dawn…” Austin said helplessly. He often didn’t know how to talk to people close to him. No matter what he said, he always seemed wrong.
After thinking for a long time, he said, “Don’t you think 20 percent is a little low?”
“How is it low?”
Dawn’s eyes turned red. “Even if it’s only ten percent, we should still try, right?”
She knew Austin was strong–willed. No one could change a decision he made. But this was life and death. It was different.
“Uncle Austin, just <i>do </i>it <i>for </i>me, <i>for </i>Dulce, and for Dad and Mom.” Dawn spoke whatever came to mind, her words messy. “Grandma is already gone. Dad <i>only </i>has <i>you </i>left in this world. Can you really bear that?”
Austin’s expression grew heavy. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh.
“Dawn.”
He turned slightly and looked at the man–madeke outside. The wind blew leaves onto the water, making ripples. After the ripples faded, everything became still again.
It felt just like life itself.
“Some things can’t be achieved just by trying,” Austin said softly, his deep voice sounding distant. “If the cure chance were over 50 percent, I would definitely try. But now it’s only 20 percent. The hope is too small.”
So small that he would rather leave with dignity than put his body through it.
Dawn looked at his clear profile and felt angry.
“You mean <i>you </i>absolutely refuse surgery, right?”
56 pm Pppp.

Austin pressed his lips together and said nothing, but his attitude said everything.
Dawn snapped, “Then I’m cutting ties with you! You’re not my uncle anymore, damn it!”
She turned her head away. In her n, Austin should have felt helpless and finally given in to treatment.
But it didn’t happen. Not even a sign.

He only stared quietly at theke. The deep night reflected in his dark, foggy eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Dawn’s breathing became uneven. She didn’t know what else she could say.
Austin…
Even when she once hated him the most, she had only wished never to see him again. She had never imagined he would die.
‘Alright.”
Austin finally turned tofort her, but it wasn’t surrender.
He gently patted her back twice. “Dawn, how old are you? Aren’t you afraid Dulce willugh if she sees you like this?”
Dawn said softly, “Austin, you’re really a jerk.”
‘Yes.”
‘You’re unbelievably irresponsible!”

“Yes.”
He let her scold him, patient and indulgent. Instead, Dawn couldn’t keep scolding anymore. The tears at the corners of her eyes slowly held back,
She wiped her face and said, “I don’t care. I’m going to talk to the doctors and understand everything. If they rmend surgery, you must ept it, or I won’t let you off!”
Austin wanted to say something. He opened his mouth, but under Dawn’s warning stare, he said nothing in the end.
They walked a while longer before heading back.
Ethan was already home. When he heard them, he looked up.
After Dawn walked over, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “Did you talk it out?”
“Kind of.” Dawn nced upstairs just in time to see Austin disappear around the corner. She sighed. “I’m going to the hospital tomorrow, but Osbert has to go with me, or the doctor won’t tell the truth.”
She had stayed in that hospital before and noticed nothing unusual. That meant the hospital staff had been instructed.
“Alright. Do you want me to go with you?”
“No. Focus on your work.”

Ethan gently squeezed her cheek. “Don’t overwork yourself. You’ve gotten thinnertely.”
Dawn was distracted and didn’t answer. She picked up a toy from the floor and leaned back on the couch.
In her sight, Dulce was seriously ying with her toys, mumbling to herself, lively and adorable.
But Austin upstairs was different.
He sat there with only one dim light on.
The whole study was silent, so silent that when the phone rang, it felt like the quiet was suddenly torn open.
