Chapter 1169 Wait for Me

Joseph never went back on his word.

Karen definitely believed him!

Joseph looked at Karen’s happy face, and his expression cleared. He said with relief, “Shall we eat?”

“Sure! My stomach grumbled just now. Let’s go. I’m starving.” Karen got out of bed with the help of Joseph. Joseph watched her nervously the whole time, afraid that she might fall. They went to the bathroom together to wash their hands and then sat down at the table.

They were a happy couple.

Karen was in a good mood today.

Gloria left after she learned that Karen was awake. Gloria did not come out to see Karen. If she did, she would have kept talking to Karen. Gloria had something more important to do. Now she was on

the way to the Collins Group.

Gloria called Jordy, and the call was quickly connected.

Before Jordy could say a word, Gloria asked, “Are you at the office? I’m on the way there.”

“Yes.”

Gloria replied, “Wait for me. It’s important.‘

With that, Gloria hung up.

If it was something trivial, Gloria wouldn’t have gone to see Jordy in person, regardless of whether

he was busy or not.

At 2:45 p.m., Gloria arrived at Jordy’s office. All the staff recognized her, and Harold ordered the receptionist and security not to stop her no matter which elevator she chose to take. Thus, she got to Jordy’s office unimpeded.

When Gloria was in the lobby just now, a lot of people saw her and began to talk. They all knew something was going on between Gloria and Jordy, so they couldn’t stop gossiping about them.

After all, Gloria and Jordy were in the limelight. The staff saw them from time to time. None of them was able to resist their huge curiosity and bury themselves in work. At best, some of them held their tongues.

Gloria walked to the door of Jordy’s office and knocked on the door. “It’s me.”

“Come in,” said a cool voice. Gloria didn’t mind but went straight into the office.

Jordy was sitting at his desk and doing nothing. Gloria said without preamble, “I came to Karen just now.”

Jordy frowned a little. Gloria told him on the phone that it was important. He guessed it must have something to do with Karen.

Gloria continued seriously, “Karen fainted today. Joseph called me and I rushed over. I told him it was because she was in the heat of the moment. But in fact, she’s deteriorating too fast.”

Jordy’s frown deepened. “I thought the medicine helped.”

“Yeah, it did. There was a short remission. Karen has a serious problem, and it’s turning into small–cell lung cancer.”

“Small cell lung cancer.” Jordy looked a little pale, and his eyes were colder than ever.

Small cell lung cancer was a type of lung cancer that escalated fast. According to the doctor, if the patients responded positively to treatment, they would survive more than a year or two years at best. If there was a miracle, they would get five years. But if they rejected treatment, they would be not likely to live more than three or six months.
