Chapter 650: Few Time Left for Mr. Adonis

However, it is only a temporary miracle. Adonis is in much worse health conditions than they thought.
Rex’s families do not tell anyone else but only the family members know about this.

If others found out about it, they would crowd into the ward.

The next day Adonis gets better, so the doctor gives him a physical examination. After the examination,
the doctor invites Amelia and Rex to the office and tells them everything about Adonis's illness.

"This is Mr. Adonis' X-ray picture. There are blockages in the two major blood vessels of his heart. And
it's quite serious. He must undergo an operation to clear them. However, I have to tell you that
considering his age, there is only a 20% chance of him being cured after the operation."

"Only 20%?" When Amelia hears it, her face turns pale. "This is too low..."

The doctor also looks helpless. "Yes. Normally when the risk of an operation is over 63%, we will
advise his family to consider about it."

In other words, there is no need to consider surgical treatment because the success rate is only 20%.

Rex is sitting there listening. Suddenly, he asks coldly, "What if he doesn't have the operation?"

"Then the disease can only be controlled with medicines. However, the blockage of blood vessels is
quite serious now. If we don't do anything, he can't even get out of bed." As the doctor speaks, he
points to the X-ray picture on the screen. "You see, the blockage on both sides is very bad for blood
circulation. Moreover, there is a problem with his heart valve. Some parts look necrotic. Mr. Adonis has
been ill for a long time. It's better to come earlier. Now he has missed the best time for treatment."

There is a best time for surgeries. If you miss it, you can never get it again. No matter how skilled the
doctors are, they are unable to cure the patients. The patients' bodies are deteriorating and they could
no longer take the operation.



The doctor is trying to say that in an indirect way, but his words are not so. Adonis's illness gets worse,
and he might not even be able to receive the treatment.

Amelia does not understand what the doctor means, but Rex does. He takes a deep breath and looks
at Amelia beside him. "Mom, why don't you go out and I'll talk to the doctor alone."

Amelia does not move. "Why can't I just stay and listen to you?"

Rex only says, "Just leave us alone."

Amelia has a bad premonition when she sees the murkiness in his deep eyes. But since Rex insists,
she just stands up and leaves the room.

Outside the door, Lily stands opposite the office. She walks over when she sees Amelia come out.
"Auntie, are you alright?"

Lily is afraid that Amelia would hear something bad, so she waits for her outside. Now that she sees
Amelia come out, she looks away at the tightly closed door.

Amelia waves her hand. "Let's go. We should go..."

In the office.

Rex talks straight with the doctor and asks, "How long can my grandfather live?"

His question astounds the doctor who has over 12 years of experience. After all, very few families
could think of that in such a short time. Rex just handles the pain so quickly.

"One to six months."

The doctor tries his best to give him a less cruel answer. But Rex still couldn't accept that. One month?
That is to say, Adonis is in danger at any time. They don't know when the worst would come.



And the doctor means Adonis will never recover by saying he can't accept any treatment. It is the best
for him to maintain the status quo.

Adonis has a strong personality. If he knew that he could only spend the rest of his life on a hospital
bed, he would rather die than live for these 6 months.

People are doomed to die, but they are still afraid of death.

Even so, Rex still can't accept the fact. He looks so rational. But he keeps telling himself that there
would be a way. Everything would be OK.

Rex closes his dark eyes. He lets out a deep sigh. "Don't let my grandfather know about this now. I'll
tell him everything. You just keep it a secret."

The doctor nods. "If your family wants so, we will do it."

...

After leaving the office, Rex does not return to the ward. Instead, he goes to the director's office. Karl is
looking at Eunice's treatment plan. And he's surprised when he sees Eunice. "How is your grandpa?"

Rex throws himself into the sofa. He looks at the white ceiling, and his eyes hurt a little from the color.
"He's not good. There's not much time left."

Karl stops flipping through the documents. He is not expecting it at all. "What?"

"Yeah," Rex says, as his eyes turn red again. He raises his hand and covers his eyes. "It is what you
think."

The office goes silent for a moment. Karl opens his mouth but does not say anything. He doesn't even
know what to say to comfort Rex.



It is all happening so fast. No one expects that Mr. Adonis is gonna die.

"Doctor Louis Lester is in charge of the operation, right? Let me talk to him. Maybe he could think of a
way..."

"It's useless." Rex interrupts Karl in a helpless and sad tone. "Grandpa's heart is partly necrotic. The
only way is to find a new one. But there are the match and rejection problems. He's 90 years old and
he can't take it anymore."

Karl feels very bad. He stands up behind his desk and walks to Rex. He looks at the man lying on the
sofa with a complicated expression. "Rex..."

"You don't need to say anything. I know." Rex's voice turns hoarse, filled with sorrow. "Just don't say
anything. I only feel better here with you."

If Rex returns to the ward, he will see Adonis lying on the bed with tubes in his nose. Just thinking
about it makes Rex heartbroken.

Karl knows that Rex has never been good at showing the white feather. During all these years, Rex has
only had one breakdown because he couldn't find Lily. Now Karl hears Rex's words. He also feels very
bad as his friend.

Rex does not need his comfort, so Karl doesn't say anything. Anyway, people say the same thing about
sickness and death. Everyone knows human beings come and go. But nobody can recover from the
death of his or her loved persons.

All Karl could do is to stay with Rex. He should wait for Rex to accept this and pull himself together
again.

But there is only one thing Karl has to say, "Rex, think about your wife and children."



No matter how hard and tiring his life is, Rex has found someone to accompany him all the way. Karl
must tell Rex that he is not alone.
