At this time, Doctor Marco was also being consulted at the bedside.
He browsed through the file, then examined her stomach with his fingertips. "It doesn't look like a malignant tumor, but let's have a look."
Doctor Markus answered, "The wound is two months old. I'm still worried it's caused by a tumor. If Doctor Marco says no, then it is definitely an infection."
"I know from past experience, but it is difficult to say whether there is a wound in it or not. I'll do a thorough examination, and when the results come out, I'll pass them on." Doctor Marco said and left the ward.
However, a creepy figure peered into the crack in the door.
He stepped forward and opened the door. The doctor accidentally ran into Sylvia.
"What are you doing in this ward?" Doctor Marco looked at Sylvia sharply, but the other party did not answer it. Sylvia jumped in the entrance and rushed to the bed.
"My daughter! My dear, it's really you!" Sylvia clearly saw Leila from the gap.
She stepped forward uncontrollably, and her brows beamed.
Leila's eyes paused for a moment when she heard Sylvia's voice.
At that moment, Mike, who was standing not far from the bed, noticed Sylvia's figure and frowned. His lips indifferently turned around and led the medical staff out of the ward.
In the corridor, Mike calmly listened to the doctor's explanation, and after a while, he returned to the ward.
At this time, Sylvia leaned over the bedside and touched her pale face sadly. "Daughter, you finally came back!"
Leila held back her emotions, she smiled sweetly. "Auntie…"
Her response made Sylvia's joy disappear a little. "What do you call me?"
Leila opened her mouth, and after a few seconds of pondering, she called back to her, "Mom…"
"My daughter, we are finally reunited!" Sylvia wanted to cry.
When she saw Leila's wound, she couldn't hide her worry. "Dear, how could your injury be so bad? Where have you been? Don't you know I'm so worried to the point of dying, so please stop running away. I know you are being persecuted, but we are family, we can face this together. I don't want to lose you again..."
Even the woman started to sob softly as she spoke, all her motherly love was dedicated to Leila.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving. By the way, I'm going to introduce you to someone. Mike..."
Leila can never forget her excitement when she told me about Mike. Even though her wound was painful, she was still excited, and the news that they were getting married was finally conveyed to Sylvia.
"Is he… The second youngest child of the Austin Family from Jakarta?"
After hearing Leila's introduction, Sylvia's eyes were shocked by greed.
She had met him before.
But at that time, she was nervous and didn't really pay attention to him. Now that she knew his identity, Sylvia thought that if her child could marry into the Austin family, then the Pangestu family would be saved!
Right now, Mike didn't ignore the light flickering under her eyes, and nodded slightly, "I used to have Austin as my last name but I don't know now."
Sylvia doesn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Leila then explained shyly. "In order to be with me, Mike had been kicked out by the Austin family. But you can be sure that the two of us will be fine. Even without the Austin family, I'll be fine with my husband."
She's implying that she doesn't care about Mike's identity as long as she can be with him. Her face was so hopeful as she said, "So ..."
Leila is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart and more cunning.
Even her mother reacted by nodding her head, as if she could see everything through.
Then Leila hesitantly said in a low voice, "Mike is the person I have loved for a long time. We can finally be together. Aren't you happy for me?"
Sylvia glanced at her then quickly nodded. "Of course, I'm happy for you. But I thought my daughter will be married into a rich family. Now it seems that you are happier even though the world is against you."
Hearing this, Leila and Mike smiled at each other, and she asked again, "Why are you in the hospital?"
"Oh, your father is sick!" Sylvia answered.
Leila pretended to be surprised. "Ah? Is his illness serious?"
"It's okay. After chemotherapy, we still have to wait to see his condition. After that, your father can go for the surgery."
Right now, Sylvia didn't care about Robert at all. She also selfishly felt that Mike was unworthy of her daughter.
If possible, she still wanted her daughter to find a good family, at least one that could help the Pangestu family.
She thought of everything on her own, and at the same time, Leila didn't continue to question Robert's condition.
Obviously, she didn't care.
...
Meanwhile, on the parking lot on the lower floor of the Minerva Hospital, Clifford was seen taking the receipt and walking to the car parked around the corner.
The bodyguard got out of the car to make room for him, then nodded and called him captain. Not long after, he walked to the side of the road to light a cigarette.
Clifford took the opportunity to get into the car. He sat in the driver's seat and lifted the bill in his hand. "Young master, madam, this is the receipt for Leila's hospitalization fees. She has also met with Sylvia."
Lilia lifted her eyes from the phone. "Is this the senior ward?"
When Dina helped Robert undergo the hospitalization procedure, the hospital was in shortage of beds. That's why the man could only be treated in the senior ward for a while.
Leila should receive the best treatment today, or so it seems.
Hearing this, Clifford shook his head, and looked at his boss. "It so happened that the bed in the six-person room was empty, so I arranged to leave first."
Lilia raised her eyebrows clearly. "What's the room number?"
"302!" After Clifford finished speaking, Lilia lowered her head and proceeded to text.
Mellisa sat beside the driver and looked at Clifford. "Where's Mike?"
Clifford answered, "He's staying with her in the room."
Mellisa listened to him blankly. In an instant, she opened the door and got out of the car, then stood beside it and lit a cigarette.
After Lilia turned off the screen, she glanced out the window. "I'm afraid Mellisa will find it difficult to accept Mike's attitude now."
After saying that, she leaned lazily on the man's shoulder. "Jean, help me."
"Tell me how then!" His gaze shifted from his wife's cell phone, and there was little pleasure in his eyes.
Along the way, Lilia is constantly sending messages, and Jean did not think much about it because he knew that his wife was arranging something.
At this time, Lilia blinked a little. "With Leila in Ward 302, can you find a way to provide another bed?"
Jean and the hospital director here are acquaintances. It should be easier to ask him a favor.
The man raised his eyebrows and didn't ask many questions. "Sure!"
Lilia wrinkled the corners of her mouth, her eyes shining. "Then… After two days, we can go to Leila's ward and visit."
"No plans to enter today?" The man's sharp gaze locked onto her figure as he asked with a playful smile.
After thinking for a moment, Lilia shook her head. "I'm not going in today, Mike's still there after all. I'm afraid Mellisa will not be able to handle it. Let the woman be happy first, but be sure that it won't last forever!"
