The Spare Wife

Chapter 636 Spring Always Comes

Sean chuckled, but his laughter quickly turned into a cough.

“You need to come with me to the hospital!” Abigail grabbed him and started leading him outside.

“It’s so cold outside.” Sean also realized that his condition was not optimistic. After only half an hour outside, he started coughing, something he never expected.

“Just bear with the cold for a while. I’ll turn on the heater once we get in the car.” Abigail’s tone softened, and she no longer wanted to argue with him.

Sean felt that she was trying to comfort him, and his mood instantly improved. “Since you say so, I’ll go to the hospital with you.”

Abigail’s lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to keep it to herself. A thousand words couldn’t compare to him obediently going to the hospital.

“The doctor said you can’t exert yourself anymore. As for your work… Find someone to take over, and you should step down.” Abigail couldn’t help but tell him as they entered the elevator.

“I’ll have Xavien get a check-up, too. I’m afraid he’s in the same condition as me.” Sean meant that if Xavien’s health wasn’t good, then he couldn’t step down early.

The Grahams only had him now, and he didn’t have a successor. Even though he had a child with Abigail, he was only three years old and couldn’t be the successor.

Abigail looked at him, and her eyes had a hint of sorrow.

“Xavien probably isn’t as serious as me, so don’t worry too much,” Sean said with a smile again.

Abigail bit her lip. “The Golden Triangle incident has caused too much damage to you.”

“No amount of damage can compare to a life. You have to understand that if I didn’t get involved, Luna would be dead. It’s like taking back a life from the hands of Hades. Let us live a few more years, and that’s enough, isn’t it?” Sean said, smiling.

Abigail calmly looked at him, and after a long time, she finally said, “Did you almost die back then?”

“Let’s not talk about the past.” Sean was afraid that she would worry, so he thought it was better not to mention it. He was content with his current situation.

“Sean Graham, I want to know!” Abigail burst out.

“You have to know; it was chaotic over there. Anyone who went would have almost died, except for Vincent Pearson.” He couldn’t tell her about his situation back then. “If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have the courage to do it. Do you believe me?” His eyes were filled with a smile that she had never had before, and she thought, So, it turns out he can smile so beautifully. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the hospital, after examining Sean, the doctor frowned deeply. “How is it that his age and physical condition don’t match at all? Did he suffer serious injuries before?”

“Well…” Abigail replied again.

The doctor looked at Sean with surprise. “It doesn’t look like ordinary injuries. His internal organs have such poor resilience. Make sure to keep warm this winter, or it could be fatal.”

Abigail couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Are you joking?”

“As a doctor, would I joke with you? His condition is extremely serious. A minor cold could take him away. If you don’t believe me, go to another hospital for a second opinion.” The doctor’s attitude towards Abigail was poor. If she didn’t trust him, why did she come to the hospital?

Sean pulled Abigail closer to him and coldly looked at the doctor. “If you speak nicely to her, she’ll believe you, right? Besides, I look perfectly fine. Do you think a normal person will believe that I’m suddenly going to die?”

“Doesn’t she know about your injuries?” the doctor asked in surprise.

Abigail pursed her lips, and after a moment, she said, “I just can’t believe it. He has been taking medication for almost a month.”

“Thank goodness you’ve been taking medication. Otherwise, you would be coughing up blood by now. His condition is very dangerous because his physical condition is already poor, and the functions of his organs are slowly deteriorating. Any kind of illness could be fatal for him, you know?” After saying this, the doctor thought for a moment but decided not to write anything down. “Go home and focus on nourishing yourself. Don’t go out if you don’t have to. Various infectious diseases are rampant in winter, and the lower the temperature, the stronger those diseases become. Do you understand what I mean?” After giving them this advice, the doctor asked them to leave.

Abigail held Sean’s examination results and couldn’t accept the outcome for a long time.

“It’s okay. I’ll take good care of myself. Once spring comes, everything will be fine,” Sean said to her.

She looked up at him. “I’ll find another doctor for you. Let’s go to another hospital and get a second opinion. Maybe the diagnosis was wrong?”

“Okay.” Sean didn’t refuse, knowing that she was the most unsettled right now.

She had never succumbed to the arrangements of fate. Even if her situation was already very bad, she would find a way to treat him. After that, she brought him to another hospital, and the results of the examination were the same as the previous doctor’s.

“How did you sustain such a severe injury? It’s already serious when an organ’s function deteriorates, but to have it affect the entire body… You need to be cautious every year as the temperature drops,” said the old doctor, his eyes filled with sympathy as he looked at Sean.
