Chapter 150 Baby Sage is Sick
In the blink of an eye, Sage was two years old. The Moore family never set foot at the Taylor mansion. In their hearts, baby Sage didn’t exist. They built the second-biggest shopping mall in the country. They don’t need the Taylor family anymore.
They were tired of people gossiping behind their backs, indicating that they were rich because of the Taylor family. They were not aware that their youngest daughter, Valeria, was visiting the Restoration Group every week.
Xavier had given Cole the instruction that he didn’t want to see anyone from the Moore family. Their behaviour after the passing of their daughter didn’t sit well with him.
The first time Valeria visited the Restoration Group, she introduced herself as Xavier Taylor’s future wife. The receptionists treated her with respect.
However, Xavier’s Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, was looking at her with disgust and disdain in his eyes.
He chased her away all the time when he saw her. Valeria vowed that as soon as she became Xavier’s wife, she would ask her husband to fire him.
At the Taylor mansion, the family was sitting in the living room watching the news. Xavier was still mourning his wife. After the passing of his wife, he became quiet. He decided to move back home with baby Sage, Aunt Getty, and Butler Oswald.
Noah Taylor looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, “Is your best friend still alive? I am asking because they haven’t visited their granddaughter after their daughter passed away.”
Caroline lowered her eyes and replied, “I have been sending text messages, but she never responded, Dad. Last month I bumped into her at their shopping mall. She was with her youngest daughter, Valeria.
She was energetic and full of life. I think she was faking her sickness. What if the person who was sick was Valencia but not her? She forced Xavier to marry her daughter because she knew that her daughter would not live long.
Dad, I was blind. I am sorry for not listening to you when you told me that Valery was not a good person. I don’t think they even mourned the passing of their daughter.”
Her father-in-law looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Your friend took your friendship for granted. She had ulterior motives, and she was greedy. One day the truth will come out. Nothing is hidden under the sun that will not be revealed.
I am glad that they are out of our lives. Also, I am grateful to the Lord that the medicine didn’t affect my great-granddaughter’s brain. I was scared that she would be born a vegetable. We have to raise my great-granddaughter well.”
Caroline nodded her head and replied, “The Lord has been gracious to the Taylor family. Then she excused herself and went to the nursery to play with her granddaughter. Sage smiled brightly when she saw her grandmother.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Sage was very beautiful and had bright eyes. She was the replica of her mother. Her grandmother took her in her arms and kissed her chubby cheeks. Sage giggled and kissed her grandmother back.
They sat on the rug and played with her toys. Later, they played hide and seek. Their laughter was heard in the living room. She was her grandmother’s pride and joy.
A few minutes later, they heard a scream coming from the nursery. When Xavier heard his mother’s scream, he ran to the nursery as fast as he could.
His mother was holding Baby Sage in her arms, crying. Xavier asked, “What happened, Mom?” His mother was sobbing and replied, “Baby Sage just fainted.”
Xavier took his daughter from his mother’s arms and ran out of the house. His father took the car keys and the whole family went to the hospital. On the way, Caroline called Dr Lambert. She told her that her granddaughter had fainted.
When they arrived at the hospital, Sage was rushed to the emergency room. Dr Lambert conducted the full examination on Sage. His heart sank when he saw the X-ray results.
Dr Lambert was in a gloomy mood when he approached the Taylor family. He looked at Xavier and said, “President Taylor, the scan showed that your daughter has a brain tumor.
It will be impossible to operate on her because the tumor is in a critical position. She is currently in a coma. To tell you the truth, I don’t think she will live past five years. Please follow me. I want to show you where the tumor is.”
The Taylor family was so shocked, Grandma Taylor staggered backward. Fortunately, her husband quickly took her in his arms.
She cried sorrowfully; she didn’t doubt in her mind that the brain tumor was the result of Valery’s medication. She was overwhelmed with hatred. She took a snake under her wings, but the snake bit her hand.
It was clear to her that Valery wanted to kill both Valencia and her unborn granddaughter. She would never forgive her for the pain she put her family through.
Xavier’s eyes were red, he was thinking about his late wife who died of cancer. Now the only gift she left for him was in a critical condition. What sin had he committed to the Lord?
They followed Dr Lambert; he showed them the brain tumor. It was indeed in a critical position. Dr Lambert told them that he would invite the specialist from overseas. Maybe a miracle might happen.
Dr Chase Forbes was in the hospital doing his rounds. He was surprised when he saw the Taylor family. He approached his friend and asked, “Xavier, who is sick?”
Xavier looked at his friend with sadness in his eyes and replied, “Dr Lambert discovered that Sage has a brain tumor.”
Dr Forbes was so shocked he hugged his best friend tightly and said, “I am so sorry, Xavier. Is Dr Lambert going to operate on her?” Dr Lambert was the best Neurosurgeon in the country.
Xavier shook his head and replied, “Dr Lambert told us that my Sage might not be able to live past five years because the tumor is in a critical position.
However, he promised to find an overseas specialist to operate on her.” Tears streamed down his handsome face.
Chase comforted him and said, “Don’t lose hope, my friend, help will come. The Lord will never take your daughter away from you.” Xavier wiped the tears and replied, “I hope so Chase. My faith has been shaken.”
Grandma Taylor stayed in the hospital to take care of her granddaughter. The rest of the family left Sage with heavy hearts. They placed their hope in the Lord’s hands.
