Chapter 261 I Didn’t Mean to Force You to Leave (1/2)
”Jean, don't listen to him.” Maranda desperately winked at John and warned him to stop being big-mouthed. Then she comforted Jean in a soft tone with a smiling face. But Jean noticed all this reaction on Maranda's face.
Maranda's unusual behavior to stop John from saying anything further triggered Jean's suspicion. She somewhat understood that they were trying to conceal something from her and that something was correlated to her.
”John, now that you have started to say something, be a man and finish your words. Don't care what Maranda says. You can tell me anything. It's okay. I can take it.” Jean's expression tensed. She asked John seriously.
As the atmosphere got tensed, Maranda realized that Jean had noticed the fact that they were keeping something from her. And now Jean wanted to know everything, but she had to try to hide it from Jean. It was for Jean's sake only. So she said resentfully to John, ”John, if you are really going to say it, I will never forgive you in the future…”
”Maranda, do you think your threat is going to work? Or you just want to conceal it from her and force her to live in hospital? We both know clearly how stubborn she is. I think we should tell her the truth, if we really want to help her.” John was not a man who could be easily threatened, he frowned and replied to Maranda in forceful tone.
”You…” Maranda was speechless by John's response, her mouth still opened in mid-sentence. Finally, she said in a ruffled tone, ”Okay, whatever. But if anything bad happens, you will be the one to be accounted for.”
In a sulky way, immediately Maranda turned her face to the other side after finishing her words, and acted as if it was a very grave matter.
”What the hell is going on?” Seeing the argument between Maranda and John, and in particular Maranda's angry reaction, Jean felt extremely anxious. In order to ease the surrounding, she asked them in a self-mockery tone, ”I didn't get an incurable disease, right?”
”Cut it out!”
”Cut it out!”
John and Maranda yelled it out simultaneously. They looked at each other and both saw helpless expression on each other's face, as Jean was taking it in all wrong sense.
”Fine! Tell her the truth, John!” Maranda finally gave in and said to John before taking a deep sigh. Then she sat down on the chair beside Jean's bed in a tiring way.
Jean hastened to look at John as she heard Maranda's words of agreement.
A bitter smile appeared on John's face as he said, ”Don't think so negatively. What we said to you before is true, you are severely anemic and weak. But If you are not going to take care of yourself and rest more, your condition could be worsened due to shortage of blood supply, and as a result, you will frequently suffer coma.”
”Frequently suffer coma…” Jean muttered. Her expression suddenly changed to grim as she repeated the words.
She had always known that she had anemia, however, the severe condition described by John was really beyond Jean's expectation. She was in shock because she had never thought that her anemia could be so severe.
”Don't worry, Jean. The doctor told us that your condition was still in an early stage, as long as you take his advice and take more rest, you can get back to normal life soon. And everything will be fine. But you have to follow his advice. As for the reason why we didn't tell you earlier, we were just too worried about you, we didn't want you to feel stressed, and we didn't know how you would react
