Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 85 BSI Will Have Nightmare

Joseph was staring at Deborah's face. Hearing Shawn's words, he was shocked and asked, "What?"

Shawn replied, "Dr. Evans seemed to say that Ms. Shepherd had liver cancer. He also said that she was a poor woman."

From the mirror, Shawn saw that Joseph seemed to be shocked, so he added, "Maybe I remember it wrong"

After a short silence, Joseph said in a deep voice, "She indeed doesn't look well."

It was hard for a sick person to pretend to be strong. Deborah indeed looked seriously ill.

At least Deborah was sleeping so soundly in someone else's car in such an unfriendly environment.

Joseph had been talking to Shawn for a long time, but Deborah was still sleeping with her head tilted to one side. She didn't respond

at all.

When the car was about to arrive at the front yard of the villa, a car suddenly rushed out.

The villa was Joseph's private house. A car rushed out of the house by accident, and Shawn was not prepared for it.

Shawn immediately drove aside to dodge the car and hit the brake.

The car that was rushing toward them immediately stopped beside their car.

The driver's window was opened, revealing Ben's playful face. 'Oh, Shawn, did I scare you?"

Joseph put one hand in front of Deborah to protect her head. He opened the window and glanced at Ben. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ben yawned and said, "Nothing. This is just my driving style. I come to see you, but you are not home. This da mn place is so remote. I didn't expect you to come back just in time."

Joseph replied, "Let's go in."

Ben was about to leave, "No, I don't have anything important to say. I've just made an appointment with someone. I'll come another day."

As he spoke, he reached his head out of the window and took a look at Deborah. "Oh, last time when you took her back, you just said she was a stranger to you. What a coincidence! You bring her back again!"

Ben seemed to be very interested in this topic. "I'm really curious. Do you want to use her to attack Ashton, or do you just like her?"

Joseph interrupted Ben, "Stay here and do me a favor. Check her body. You can make an appointment with your friend another day. I'll pay the bill for you."

Ben was about to say, "I'm not your on-call ser vant"

But after Joseph finished his words, Ben immediately added, "But I should help you. Will you really pay the bill for me?"

Joseph took pút a bank card and handed it to Ben. "Check her body. Didn't you tell Shawn that she had liver cancer?"

Ben took the card with satisfaction. As soon as he got the money, he continued to tease Joseph.

"I've checked her before, and I forget what her disease is. But It has nothing to do with you. She is Ashton's wife, not yours."

"If she is dead, nobody else can do her job for me," Joseph replied indifferently.

Ben didn't find anything wrong. He put away the card and turned the car back to the villa.

Ben didn't take any cancer check-up equipment to the villa, but he had taken Deborah to the hospital for a check-up before. He brought back the report and gave it to Joseph.

At that time, Joseph didn't care about It. Now he forgot where he put the report. Maybe it was thrown away by the serv ants as rubbish.

Ben already took the money and had to do the job. He rummaged Joseph's villa for the report. Finally, he found the thick stack of report paper.

Deborah was sleeping on the bed and couldn't wake up

Joseph took her to the bed in the bedroom. Ben took the report in and put it on the table.

Then he sat on the sofa and looked through it carefully.

After reading it, Ben looked up at Deborah in surprise. "Why is she still alive?"

Joseph came over and sat opposite Ben. "Is it serious?" He asked.

With a serious look on his face, Ben said, "The examination was done a long time ago when you took her here. The report is very terrible. She would die in at most three months from that time." Joseph was stunned for a while and asked with a strange feeling, "You mean it can't be cured, can it?"

Ben sighed, 'It can't be cured. Joseph, she's so pitiful. You shouldn't have lied to her about her daughter." Joseph replied subconsciously, "I didn't know."

Ben didn't say anything more. He reached out and sorted out the report paper.

There was no need to say anything more.

Ben knew that Joseph wouldn't ask him to treat Deborah.

Deborah was dying of a terminal illness. Ben knew Joseph would only feel a little sympathy for her, but that was all.

Joseph wouldn't do anything to help Deborah. Besides, Deborah was nominally Ashton's wife.

Ben stood up and said, "She is suffering from liver cancer. It's incurable. I don't have to check her again.

"The medicine I bring here is to treat some minor diseases. It's useless for her. I'll go."

Joseph reached for the water cup on the table, took it, and then put it down.

"I gave you the bank card to pay the bill for you. You can't just leave like this."

Ben stopped. He turned around with a serious face and asked directly. "What do you mean?

"I'm a doctor. As a doctor, I can't control myself from feeling sad for an incurable patient. If you still want to use Deborah to do something, don't ask me for help. I'm afraid I'll have a nightmare at night.” Ben took out the card Joseph gave him, put it on the table, turned around, and left.

All of a sudden, Joseph stood up and took a few steps forward. "What will happen if I tell her the truth about Alyssa?"

Ben sneered, "Of course, she will die earlier."

Deborah almost died when she heard the news of Alyssa's death.

But anyway, she managed to get through it.

Joseph gave her hope and surprise again.

If Deborah knew the truth one day, she would lose hope, and nobody knew if she could get through

Ben went downstairs and left. Joseph stood still for a long time

again.

He had made a deal with a lot of people over the years. He was good at catching the weaknesses of all kinds of people and letting them do things for him.

But he didn't seem to have made a deal with a terminally ill patient

It was still an unfair deal. He kept asking Deborah to bring him something he wanted, but he would never really give Deborah what she

needed.

Alyssa was dead.

Joseph saw Alyssa's body with his own eyes that day in the funeral home. He bought Alyssa's lucky charm at a high price.

Then he asked Shawn to find a way to remove the burned mark on the lucky charm and restore it to its original appearance. Deborah was such a gullible woman. That night, Joseph showed her the lucky charm and shook it in front of her eyes. Deborah was so happy as if she had been hypnotized that she agreed to do anything for Joseph in exchange for Alyssa. She always said "thank you" to Joseph, as if Joseph was really a merciful savior who saved her daughter.

A sudden sound of vomiting from the bedroom pulled Joseph back to reality.

Joseph turned around and walked in quickly. He saw Deborah vomiting at the bedside.

Deborah threw up a lot on the floor, and the sticky things with blood stained the carpet.

A strange smell of blood filled the bedroom.

Sweat stuck to Deborah's forehead, and her eyes turned red.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Deborah looked flustered and guilty. "I'm sorry. I'll clean it up for you. And... I'll pay you."

Since she made the carpet dirty like this, she might not be able to clean it.

Standing in front of her, Joseph looked down at her and asked, "Why don't you ask Ashton to treat your disease?"
