The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 625 I Am Worried About You.

Upon hearing this, Lysander’s tears grew more intense. She grasped his hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion. “If the Central Hospital can’t handle it, we can look for treatment overseas. You don’t need to worry about the money. Dad. I’ve secured my role at the company. Whatever the cost, I’m prepared to save you!”

Her resolve was clear; she was prepared to sacrifice her own career aspirations and remain at the company forever it meant keeping her father alive. As she saw hesitation flicker across Maverick’s face, she implored him with a trembling voice, “Dad, you haven’t seen me settle down yet. How can you be at peace with leaving without witnessing that?”

Maverick responded by gently patting her hand, his voice a mixture of comfort and sadness, “I may not be fortunate enough to see that day, but remember, even if one day I have to leave, I’ll still be watching over you from above.”

Overcome by her emotions, Lysander leaned into his shoulder, her cries filling the silent forest around them.

Josiah, witnessing this heart–wrenching scene, felt a deep sorrow. Despite knowing the odds were against them, he couldn’t help but interject with a glimmer of hope, “Mr. Maverick, just give us the nod. I’ve already been in touch with some of the best lung cancer specialists. If you agree, we could be on our way as early as tomorrow morning.”

He had the means to arrange a private jet to take them directly to a top–tier medical facility, though he opted to keep quiet about the overseas doctors‘ cautious optimism regarding Maverick’s advanced condition.

These experts had already admitted that while they could attempt to manage his pain, they could not halt the disease’s progression. Maverick needed a miracle, and miracles, by their very nature, were unpredictable and rare.

However, Maverick gently declined the offer, “Thank you for your kindness, but let’s not complicate things. If I had the strength to travel and stay abroad, I’d rather spend that time at home with my family. And frankly, I’m not one for foreign food like hamburgers and steaks. I’m more comfortable here.”

He had long accepted his fate, reflecting on his life with a sense of fulfillment rather than regret, “When I first received the diagnosis, it shocked me, of course. But as I thought about my life, I realized I’ve had a good run. I married the woman I loved and was blessed with wonderful daughters. What more could I ask for?”
