Chapter 774 Only Fools Keep Struggling
Chapter 774 Only Fools Keep Struggling
Stella had observed that her father was not guilty to her mother. His guilt only came out when he
mentioned Isobel.
Why father only felt guilty to Isobel, instead of her mother?
"Even if your mom passed away because she was sad. But after all these years, you should let it go."
"Your Dad is more than sixty years old with gray hairs. Can you and Brain want him to be so worried
and anxious until he dies? If he dies with regret, what will happen to you and Brain? Will you feel
indebted, will you regret?"
Joshua did not dare to say more, for fear that Stella could not control her emotion. He had to change
his manner to persuade Stella.
She hoped Stella let it go and solve the problem, so she could really happy.
“Let bygones be bygones. What you and Brain should do is to forget the past and forgive everyone.
The living can't always be controlled by the lost. If you don't fix this, it's going to haunt you even after
your Dad dies."
"Honey, only fools torture themselves. Only fools struggle. In order not to regret it and for dad's
happiness for the rest of his life, you, as a sister, should solve the problem."
Joshua's words hit Stella’s fragile heart, especially when it came to if they felt indebted to her father, if
they would regret that they had not forgiven her father.
Joshua was right that only fools tortured themselves, and her father wasn't the only one who was
tortured, but his family.
Why couldn’t they figure it out?
Penny was quiet these days, lying on the sofa in a daze, waiting for the hospital examination results.
She didn't believe Gloria and went to the hospital for a full checkup. She moved to another hospital so
the results were real.
She was waiting for the results right now.
But she found it too hard, she found it too scary.
For two days she felt like she was breaking down, terrified of cancer and death.
She didn't want to get sick. She didn't want to die. Winnie was still alive, how could she die?
"What are you thinking?"
Oscar's words pulled her thought back. Then she found it was nine o’clock in the evening, and she had
been in such a daze all day that she could not remember when she had had lunch or dinner.
"Nothing. You're home early today."
Penny said while sitting up.
"I have finished my work, so I came back earlier today."
"You must have finished dinner, I have not eaten yet, do you want to have late snack?"
Oscar was in a good mood, but he was worried.
He came back early not because his work had done, but because he had heard from that nanny that
Penny was in a bad mood, so he left work and came back.
"Ok."
So two people ordered takeout, and sat at the table.
"Have some wine, it relieves fatigue."
Penny proposed, so she asked the nanny to prepare glassed and wine.
"I drink, you can’t. You are still a patient, drinking is not good for your health, and it will also affect the
medicine."
Oscar poured himself wine and reminded Penny. But he had no idea that Penny really wanted to drink.
"I'll have some, too. It won't affect anything since I am dying."
Penny said and grabbed the wine.
Hearing that, Oscar felt strange.
When Penny got along with him before, she always avoided the topic of her illness, she only mentioned
it when she was angry with Winnie.
But Winnie was not around these days, why she mentioned it suddenly.
"Drink little. I am your guardian now, and you must obey me."
Oscar talked to Penny casually. He was really afraid that Penny’s mood would get worse.
"Sure. You are the only one in the world who will not abandon me, and I must be obedient to you. A
little, I will only drink a little."
Penny took a sip.
She put down her glass and ate food. Then she asked Oscar a question out of the blue.
"Oscar, do you think my family will come to my funeral after I die?"
Oscar's heart suddenly twitched. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
He looked at Penny with surprise. He felt there was something wrong. This sentence was sad.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's bad luck. You are well and have nothing to do with the funeral."
Oscar hurried to comfort her. For such a long time Penny had been so well because she had a good
mentality. But now it seemed that her mindset had completely changed.
"What bad luck! Sooner or later I am going to die, and there is no cure for my cancer. I was such a
failure that I didn't think anyone would come to my funeral."
Penny seemed to have fallen into a world of pain, although the examination report had not yet come
out, she was already pessimistic.
"I told you that you shouldn't drink, see? You talk nonsense." he said.
"What's wrong with cancer? Cancer can be cured if you have good mindset. If you're thinking about
funerals all day, you're really going to die."
"Penny, don't think much. Just be happy every day. You used to have such a good attitude, as long as
you stick to this attitude to face your illness, I believe you can get through it."
Oscar persuaded Penny, so she could be relaxed.
Although Penny's cancer was not obvious, Oscar knew that miracles were impossible. She was getting
worse every day.
It meant the funeral really wasn't far off.
It was 10:30 in the evening after they had dinner. Oscar thought Winnie should not slept at this hour, so
he went back to his room and call Winnie.
"What's up?"
Winnie had been ready to sleep. For fear of affecting others to sleep, she went out to answer the
phone.
"I think there's something wrong with Penny these days. Did you fight with her?"
This was the first possibility Oscar could think of, otherwise Penny's mood would not have suddenly
changed.
"No, I haven't called her these days. It's impossible to fight with her. What's the matter with her, is she
upset?"
Oscar's words made Winnie worried.
"She has been so depressed for the past two days and she has been lying on the sofa all day. Any time
she opened her mouth, it's about death, a funeral, or a terminal cancer. In short, she is very pessimistic
and hopeless."
"I thought you fought with her. If not, what happened to her?"
Winnie's answer let Oscar ruled out this possibility. He told Winnie the state of the Penny, which made
Winnie perceive something wrong.
"There is something wrong, Oscar. Do you think she knows the truth about her illness?"
"That's what I thought. I think of two possibilities, one is to fight with you, the other is that she knows
she really has cancer."
"The first possibility has been ruled out, so now the only possibility is the second. But I can’t figure out
how she knows."
Oscar and Winnie had the same guess, but the second possibility was really desperate.
"Could it be that the nanny spilled the beans and then she found it out?"
Winnie gave her guess, because in addition to these people, no one could contact Penny.
"I asked. It wasn't the nanny."
"Never mind how she knows, I just don't know how to comfort her right now."
Oscar was caught off guard by Penny's sudden change. He was worried now but he didn’t know what
to do.
"I'll go back at the weekend and talk to her. Maybe she will be better after she scolds me+."
...
Winnie and Oscar continued to talk, they were studying how to make Penny's mood better. However,
Oscar could not imagine that Penny was standing outside his room right now.
Penny could not hear what Winnie said, but she clearly heard the words of Oscar.
Oscar said that she was indeed a cancer patient, which meant the hospital diagnosis was not
important.
Penny sat slowly at Oscar's door, like a ghost lost its spirit. It was as if all the strength of her body had
been taken away and all that was left was a zombie.
She was over, she got no time to continue. So was she going to lose to Winnie and let her be with
Brian?
Stella thought for two days, although Joshua constantly brainwashed her, she felt it difficult to
overcome this obstacle. But she felt her words were a kind of harm to her father and was worried her
father was in a bad mood these two days.
Then she went to the suburbs.
When she came to the suburbs, she learned that her father was ill.
"Does he get a cold? Did he go to the hospital?"
Stella walked, while listening to Paul. She was worried and shocked about her father's illness. Her
father had always been in good health. Why did he suddenly catch a cold?
Was it because he was unpleasant and got depressed?
"Stella, don't worry. As people get older, their health is far from what it used to be. It's normal to get
sick."
Paul explained, so Stella would not be so worried, but Stella was sad about it.
Yes, her father was now old.
Stella went to the house and saw Rufus lying on the sofa in the living room. Seeing her father's lonely
figure, Stella suddenly felt he was pitiful. He was no longer the tall, mighty father who could bear
everything for her, but a lonely, pathetic old man.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me you're sick? Why didn't Brian tell me?"
