My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1035 The Condition Of Nelson

“Just now, the caregiver messaged me, informing me that Dad is experiencing high blood pressure and even lost consciousness. The doctor figured it's highly likely to be a stroke...” Lily shared. Upon hearing this, Finnick's irritation flared, and he exclaimed, “Why didn't you mention this earlier?” If a minor stroke was promptly treated, it had the potential to make a significant impact. With proper medical intervention, the recovery process could be swift, leading to minimal differences compared to a healthy individual.

However, in the case of a severe stroke where timely treatment is not received, the consequences could be unimaginable. Even if the patient managed to recover from such a severe stroke, it could still result in a decline in cognitive abilities, the onset of dementia, or even paralysis. The Oates family's presence and influence in Jadeborough stemmed from Nelson Oates's involvement as one of the founding fathers many years ago. While he might not wield significant authority in recent times, his longstanding prestige had endured. The younger generation of the Oates family might not have stood out significantly on their own, but they had enjoyed favorable circumstances under the protection of the patriarch.

The past few years had been relatively prosperous for them. However, there was one specific incident that occurred, causing deep resentment within the Oates family. On the night of Nelson's fiftieth birthday, he became involved with a maid. To everyone's surprise, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to Sienna, his illegitimate daughter. Fortunately, Finnick held a somewhat significant position in Nelson's affections, which allowed him to arrange for Sienna to be sold to the Haddock family under the pretense of bringing them good fortune. This decision was made to prevent Sienna from continuously appearing before the Oates family and causing further discontent.

Lily took a deep breath and explained, “I couldn't inform you earlier due to Sienna's disruptive presence, Finnick. Madison wanted me to relay the message that she intends to seek the renowned professor of surgery, Chloe Yeatman, from Jadeborough Hospital, to perform our father's surgery. Chloe is widely regarded as one of the top professors of surgery in the country, with very few peers who can match her expertise.” Upon learning that his wife, Madison Yeatman, had invited Chloe to perform the surgery, Finnick's sense of relief washed over him. “Since Chloe is your sister-in-law's biological sister, having Chloe by our side brings a greater sense of reassurance.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“However, I've heard that Trevor is still searching for other experts,” Lily commented. “It seems he's considering someone from a smaller provincial capital like Lake City rather than looking abroad. But in my opinion, no matter who Trevor finds, they won't be able to match Chloe's expertise.” “You're absolutely right.” Finnick nodded in agreement.

“Trevor is nothing but a troublemaker. What else does he capable to do besides creating problems every day?”

“Forget about Trevor for now. Let's not dwell on him,” Lily declared. After rising from her seat, she addressed her other sisters, “Are all of you coming with me to the hospital?”

“Of course, let's go,” everyone responded with unanimous agreement. At this juncture, it was crucial for them to visit the hospital in order to strengthen their bond and connection.

Moreover, considering the possibility of Nelson's passing, it becomes even more essential for them to visit the hospital as they would eventually have to address the matter of dividing the family's assets. The Oates family possessed a vast business empire and had numerous descendants. Among them was Trevor Oates, their nephew, who consistently engaged in unconventional pursuits rather than devoting himself to the family business. He even pursued a career as an esports player, which some viewed as simply playing games.

From their perspective, Trevor's daily obsession with playing games, as if it were a serious profession, made him the epitome of degeneracy. They couldn't fathom anyone more idle and lacking in ambition than him. They had also heard that Trevor was planning to lead his team in a world championship competition this year. They found it difficult to believe that there was actually a global championship dedicated to playing games in this day and age.

Finnick held a deep-seated disdain for his nephew. With the prospect of dividing the family property in their thoughts, they promptly rose from their seats, prepared to make their way to the hospital. Finnick also stood up and said, “Let's go!” Sienna stood near the entrance of the Oates residence, her eyes fixed on the departing cars of the family as they drove out one after another. She watched them, her face devoid of any expression, as the men and women, both young and old, who shared her bloodline, left the premises.

She couldn't help but wonder what their intentions were. She cast a brief glance at the imposing mansion behind her, narrowing her eyes in contemplation. The sky appeared gloomy, with the threat of a heavy downpour looming in the air. Meanwhile, gusts of cold wind swept through, causing a shiver to run down one's spine.

The winter in Jadeborough was much colder than in Lake City, with an icy wind that seemed to penetrate the skin. It made people's faces feel dry and chilled, causing goosebumps to rise on their arms. Sienna wasted no time and quickly got into her car, starting the engine with determination. She trailed behind the Oates family's cars, determined to follow them. Since Sienna was barred from seeing Nelson, her curiosity got the better of her. She wondered what this group of people, all assembled and leaving together, was up to.
