Chapter 448: 448: Why Give Up the Hope of Living?
Xaviera Evans felt a jolt in her heart. Madam Mamet had awakened?
The woman was gravely ill, sinking into a comatose state from time to time, leaving countless doctors at a loss for treatment—leaving her at the mercy of her illness and hoping she would occasionally regain consciousness.
Madam Mamet was initially waking up once every two days, but had now devolved to only being able to wake up once every week or even longer. Furthermore, every time she awoke, she could only stay lucid for two to three hours, making these periods incredibly precious.
Sean Price was somewhat excited: “However, this time, Madam has been awake for three hours, and she said she would like to see you.
Caleb’s eyes fluttered open slightly, “Let’s go! We’ll head to the old mansion!”
Xaviera Evans fastened her brooch, and the two of them hurriedly left their abode.
After boarding the car, she couldn’t help but ask, “Caleb, grandma’s poison can be treated, even though grandpa has disappeared, my Uncle Master Uland and third brother Albert are very proficient in medicine, they might know a way.”
Caleb pursed his lips, “Grandma isn’t willing.”
Xaviera Evans furrowed her brows, “Why?”
The previous times she met Madam Mamet, she had brought up the topic, but Madam espoused different ideas instead of directly answering her questions.
Xaviera Evans couldn’t understand it. Madam Mamet was well aware of how she often became unconscious and that her illness was becoming more severe each day. Aware that there’s a chance to get cured, why did she not fight for it?
Although her grandpa has disappeared, Albert’s medical prowess is highly skilled. Even if he cannot fully detoxify her, he can still control her condition. Moreover, the instant Madam Mamet gives the order, Caleb would go to any lengths to invite famous doctors, no matter the cost.
But why… Why would she give up on her own life?
Caleb felt a shiver in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.
Considering it, he hadn’t experienced the poison relapse for a while, due to drinking Xaviera Evans’s blood. The poison in his body was temporarily suppressed.
However, the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand, once they used their blood to save people, would suffer a certain degree of backlash. If he continued to use Xaviera’s blood to detoxify, her body would deteriorate little by little each day.
If the rescued person was on the brink of death, the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand who used blood to save others would be critically injured, and might even die on the spot.
He didn’t know the reprisal he was going to face. It might be blindness, paralysis, or even death. Caleb Mamet was simply uncertain, but no matter what it was, he would not let Xaviera shoulder this risk.
Caleb lowered his gaze, “I don’t know. My grandma has her reasons for doing this. If she refuses to seek treatment, it’s possible that your grandpa has already tried treating it before.”
Xaviera Evans nodded, thinking this could be possible. If the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand himself could not save someone, then they were truly beyond help.
However, Xaviera Evans still felt that something was wrong. Even if her grandpa declared that there was no hope, how could anyone give up on the hope of staying alive so easily? Even if it were very bleak, they should want to try it anyway!
However, Madam Mamet’s attitude wasn’t one of desolation, but simply that she didn’t want to discuss the matter. Why could that be?
The Mamet Old Mansion.
Upon stepping in through the main entrance, Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans immediately made a beeline for Madam Mamet’s quarters. Preferring peacefulness, she resided in the rear courtyard of the old mansion, where the views were beautiful and most of the time there was no one to disturb her, providing a peaceful environment.
Just as the two of them were about to enter, Madam Mamet’s personal servant stopped Xaviera Evans and said respectfully, “Apologies, Madam, but the madam wishes to speak with Mr. Caleb Mamet alone.”
Xaviera Evans nodded.
Caleb Mamet entered the room, and Madam Mamet, seeming somewhat weary, opened her eyes. “Caleb…”
“Grandma,” he responded.
Madam Mamet sighed, “Caleb, I just found out today that the young lady you married is your Xaviera, your junior sister… I think you truly like her, don’t you?”
Without hesitation, Caleb responded, “Yes, I like her.”
“I understand you. You are in love with her. Hence, even if it means that you might become blind, or even lose your life, you wouldn’t let her help detoxify you, right?”
A sour feeling pervaded Caleb’s heart.
Madam Mamet’s eyes misted up a touch, and as the memories flashed in her mind, she continued, helplessly, “Caleb, no one in the world understands your feelings better than I do. If the person you love most loses their life while trying to save you, your existence would be filled with pain.”
