Chapter 860 Say What You Want to Tell Me in Another World.

Vanessa was persuading from the beginning to the end, while Stella was crying. Brian looked gloomy
and didn't speak. But they all heard the content of the conversation between his father and Vanessa,
and they knew what his father's regret was.

They were all pondering, and wondering whether to fulfill their father's wish.

Rufus was still waiting for Paul to come with him at first, but after learning about the condition, he just
wanted to stay alone. Thus, he asked everyone to go one, and Paul was not allowed to come.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and he was still standing in front of the ward window thinking.

He had too many regrets. If he did have cancer, the time left for him would not be enough to make up
for so many regrets.

However, Isobel was his greatest regret, the person he was sorriest for, and the person he was the
most reluctant to hurt.

If he had a cancer, did he really have to be with her for a limited time? But when he died, would Isobel
be abandoned by him again and be hurt by him?

Rufus was thinking, and the phone rang.

He walked to the phone and found it was a call from Isobel, and he hesitated. In the past, he was
happy to answer Isobel's phone, but now how could he tell Isobel this news?

After hesitating for a while, the phone rang twice before he answered it, but he still didn't think about
how to tell Isobel this news.

"Isobel."



He tried to speak louder, but didn't produce the effect he wanted.

"Why did you answer the phone for such a long time?"

Isobel's voice was obviously worried.

When Winnie knew that Rufus was alone in the hospital, Isobel was uneasy, and she was even more
worried when he didn't answer the phone. If he didn't answer the call, Isobel would ask Winnie to come
and have a look.

"I was in the bathroom just now."

Rufus was still in a low mood, and he was depressed by too much thoughts.

"Alas..."

Isobel sighed first, then began to comfort Rufus.

"I've heard about your illness. It's no big deal. Don't put pressure on yourself. Kevin will prepare the
best medical team for you. Rest assured, you will be fine."

Isobel was a doctor, and she thought Rufus would feel at ease after hearing what she said. It's just that
she didn't know that she was not a doctor but a family member and a lover in Rufus' eyes.

What family and lover said was just comfort.

"I believe that the medical team that Kevin prepared for me, I will cooperate with the treatment."

"But Isobel, no one can guarantee that my tumor is not malignant. Once...."

"No, definitely not. Don't talk nonsense and make me worry about you from such a distance."



Isobel didn't let Rufus finish talking. She didn't dare to listen. As a doctor, she couldn't be sure that
Rufus' tumor was benign.

She was also scared, more scared than anyone. She was also worried, more worried than anyone
else. But she couldn't go back, couldn't take care of him or comfort him. She could only encourage him
over the phone.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just talking about a possibility."

Isobel's worries made Rufus gratified, even delighted. If he was not sick, he didn't know when he would
get Isobel's care.

It was just that at this time he didn't want Isobel to worry or to pin her feelings on him. Once he was
gone, Isobel would be the saddest one.

"Isobel..."

Rufus still wanted to make what should be said clear, but Isobel didn't want to listen. Who could bear to
bid farewell to its lover?

"Rufus, listen to me."

"Now that we are not sure whether your tumor is benign or malignant, you shouldn't be pessimistic. If it
is benign, you have to cooperate with the doctor for surgery, and you will be fine and healthy after
recovery. If it is malignant, you also should cooperate with the doctor for treatment. You will have the
chance to survive, the chance to compensate me after receiving treatment. And you will not make the
children sad, and will not make you father sad."

Isobel had to face this problem, because Rufus himself defined his condition.



She wanted Rufus to know that although the he was the ill one, his life was not his own. Too many
people were worried about him, and he couldn't give up easily.

"I know, I know. I'm just planning for the worst. I have to tell you something clearly."

Rufus knew things better than anyone, and Isobel's words penetrated his heart. But if it was really
cancer, he had no way to control the length of his life.

In case he died suddenly one day, he would be more regretful if he didn't say anything.

"You don't have to rush to tell me clearly. If you really want to tell, tell the kids. We have time and
opportunity."

"Rufus, I can tell you with certainty. If you have cancer, I will leave the world any day you die. Say what
you want to tell me in another world."

Isobel stated solemnly before Rufus spoke, and she would do what she said.

If Rufus died, it would be painful for her to live. If she died with Rufus, Brian and Stella could get what
they wanted. Her death would provide the best of both worlds, she as not afraid at all.

"You can't think like this way, let alone do it. You have to live well. You still have a long way to go. When
I'm gone, leave alone the children's affairs. You can find a strange place and enjoy your life."

Rufus was shocked by Isobel's thoughts. She even wanted to die with him. Did she want him to owe
her in his next life?

She had a hard life. Her life has been ruined by him, if she died with her, he would be unforgivable.

What he wanted to tell Isobel to enjoy her life in the future. If she committed suicide because of him,
wouldn't he regret it more?



"How can I enjoy my life without you? You said you want to make up for me, you said you want to give
me happiness. I have been waiting. Only with you can I be happy."

Isobel couldn't help crying. It was her love for Rufus that kept her alive. Once Rufus was gone, she
couldn't live anymore.

Whether her happiness was good or bad lay in Rufus. Without him, there would be no happiness in her
life.

"Isobel, I..."

Rufus was speechless, his promise echoed in his ears, but he didn't know if he had a chance to fulfill it.

Listening to Isobel's sobbing sound, Rufus's heart hurt even more.

Although the results hadn't come out, there was no guarantee that he and Isobel would have a future.

"Don't cry, no matter what the test result is, I will cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and I will
undergo surgery."

Rufus had nothing to do and didn't know how to comfort Isobel, so he could only promise Isobel to treat
the illness well.

At this moment, he really hoped that he was free from any disease, and hoped to return to when he first
met Isobel more than twenty years ago. If he were given another chance, he would not let things
develop so badly, nor would he let Isobel leave alone.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Brian couldn't sleep either. He was worried about tomorrow's operation
and more worried about what his father said.



His father's concerns were also things that he couldn't let go of. If his father died with his concerns,
would his regrets perplex him for the rest of his life?

Did he live only for hatred in this life? Abandoning his father for hatred and giving up love also ruined
the happiness of the children life.

Should he let go of the past and make his father relieved before going to the operating table?

"Brian."

Vanessa's voice broke Brian's contemplation.

He was sitting alone in the pavilion outside, and he didn't expect Vanessa to come out.

"Haven't you slept?"

Brian asked Vanessa who had already walked into the pavilion.

"It's still early, I'm still studying at this time in school."

Vanessa often stayed up late to study.

"It's said that learning in university is easy. Why do you study so late? You must pay attention to your
health and not stay up late. Only when you are healthy can you study."

Brian was deeply moved and was thinking about how good it would be if his father was healthy.

"If I am lazy in university, it will be difficult for me to get a good job in the future. If I want to get a good
job in the future, I must continue to work hard."



"Health is indeed the most important thing. Through Rufus' illness, I also realized that I should take
good care of my body. Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Vanessa was chatting. Although she could see a lot of things from Rufus' illness, but what she said was
not the point.

"Brian, how pitiful Rufus is. Do not hate him anymore. You can hate me or Winnie, don't make Rufus
upset."

This was the purpose of Vanessa.

She saw Brian alone in the pavilion in the room on the second floor. She watched him for a while and
found that Winnie didn't go out to comfort him. Vanessa had to take the opportunity to persuade him.

"Did...your sister ask you to persuade me?"

Brian didn't know how to respond to Vanessa's words for a while, but he thought it was Winnie who
asked Vanessa to come out.

"No, my sister was hurt by you. In this matter, my sister would rather persuade Rufus. She doesn't care
about your and Stella's feelings, and won't persuade you to give up your hatred."

Brian's guess was directly denied by Vanessa. She knew that Winnie was holding back and restrained.

"These words are what I want to say, and the reason is simple because Rufus is too pitiful."

"Brian, from the relationship between you and Winnie, you should know how painful it is more than
anyone. Since you have a deep understanding, why you can't forgive Rufus."

"Things have been going on for so many years, wouldn't it be okay for you to let go of yourself and your
dad?"



Vanessa continued to persuade Brian. Her attitude was completely different from Winnie's. She could
stay out of it and try to understand the feelings of Brian and Rufus.

Her only purpose was to make Rufus less sad.

"Vanessa, you are right. But I still don't know what to do. For more than 20 years, the hatred has taken
root in my heart, and it won't be easy to remove it for a while."

"I also told your sister, I need some time, and I will try to forget all of this."

This was Brian's answer, and it was no different from the previous one.

"My sister told me what you think, but if Rufus' tumor is malignant this time, how long will it take for you
to forgive him"

"You only considers your own feelings, and it is your sentence that disappointed Winnie."

Vanessa was also a little disappointed. She didn't expect that he would still have this attitude at this
time.

"I won't say much about you. I'll talk about Rufus."

"You can continue to hate him, but can you not interfere with any of his decisions? Can you let him go
to someone he has never forgotten when he gets better?"

Vanessa continued to persuade Brian. Her attitude was completely different from Winnie's. She could
stay out of it and try to understand the feelings of Brian and Rufus.

Her only purpose was to make Rufus less sad.

"Vanessa, you are right. But | still don't know what to do. For more than 20 years, the hatred has taken
root in my heart, and it won't be easy to remove it for a while."

"| also told your sister, | need some time, and | will try to forget all of this."
This was Brian's answer, and it was no different from the previous one.

"My sister told me what you think, but if Rufus' tumor is malignant this time, how long will it take for you
to forgive him"

"You only considers your own feelings, and it is your sentence that disappointed Winnie."

Vanessa was also a little disappointed. She didn't expect that he would still have this attitude at this
time.

"| won't say much about you. I'll talk about Rufus."

"You can continue to hate him, but can you not interfere with any of his decisions? Can you let him go
to someone he has never forgotten when he gets better?"
