The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 400

Olive also learned from the specialized doctor that there’re some differences between the people infected by the HIV virus and HIV patients. Infected people could use drugs to suppress the virus and increasing the immune system. They wouldn’t necessarily turn into an HIV patient. Therefore, this disease should be detected earlier, so the treatment can start earlier.

Ellison was quite lucky. He was sent to the hospital because of a cold, then he found out that there’s an HIV virus inside his body. The treatment was quite in time, but the risk of death was still there, waiting for him like a Grim Reaper waiting behind him to take his soul away anytime, causing him to be terrified and feeling uneasy every day.

Maybe he still hadn’t figured it out by now, whether this virus was caused by his wild habit with women, or because of using drugs by injection. Since he was living his life carelessly, a disaster was bound to come sooner or later.

Sometimes, life happened this way. One moment it’s as if he was in heaven, but the next moment, he would be in hell. Such a contrast wasn’t something that everyone could dwell with. Moreover, when such a disease as HIV was thrown in the society, just like the ancient times, people would be terrified with the mention of it, and would avoid it in hurry.

Luckily, outsiders didn’t know about the news of Ellison being infected with HIV, it’s just ended up this way. She didn’t know if this man had slight repentance of his preposterous lifestyle.

After a moment of silence, Olive spoke up to break the silence, “Uncle Norton, I think I’ll go out first, so both of you can have a good chat.”

Norton patted her left hand, “Silly girl, just sit here. You don’t need to go anywhere. They said people raise children so they could be taken care of by their children when they are old. But I think, I’ve done evil deeds in my previous life. If he was half as good as you, I’d burn the incense and thank God.”

Looking at his whining look, Olive wanted to laugh for a moment. He obviously cared about his son in his heart, but he spoke as if he didn’t have mercy on him.

Having the best hope for their children is the wish of every parent.

“Dad, I’m sorry.” All of sudden he knelt down, causing both the sitting ones to become startled.

“I know I used to be a bastard. I’ve been thinking a lot recently. I’m really sorry that I’m not a filial son. Although I know that I’m not your biological son, as I thought about it, both you and Mom had raised me with hardships all these years. You always gave the best for me. But I wasn’t being grateful and kept making trouble for both of you, making both of you lose your face. Dad, I’m sorry! I will definitely change and reflect on my past.”

“You will? Can I trust you? I’m afraid you can’t change who you are.” Because of too much disappointment, Norton wouldn’t believe easily that his unfilial son would change into a better person one day.

“Dad, I’ll do as what you say and I’ll never disobey you anymore.” Ellison hastily showed his determination. He swore with his palm over his head.

“Then, return to the sanatorium.”

“I have consulted with the doctor. He said that, as long as I take the medicine on time every day, have regular checkups, I can still work like normal people. Dad, I’m still young. I won’t just wait for death in another eight or ten years. I want to do something so I can accompany both you and Mom every day after I got off work to make up the mistakes that I’ve made.”

What he said was really touching.

“I definitely won’t let you meddle in the Angel Holiday Hotel. You’d better give up this idea. It’s a waste if you still want to get into the hotel. After ruining Hengdu, I can’t let you also ruin Angel.” Norton was really determined, he was very angry when talking about the past.

Ellison knew that he was wrong, “I know that I’ve ruined Hengdu. I’ve lost your trust. Now that I think about it, I can’t even forgive myself. How could I dare to ask you to reassign me at Angel.”

“If you really want to repent, you can find a job to support yourself, leave your disreputable friends, and be a dependable person.” Norton eased up a bit and said with a heartfelt tone.

Even though he personally raised him, when he made a big mistake, both parents would regret it, and would sincerely hope that he would change into a better person.

Which parents would want their children to repeat causing trouble without repenting?

Olive sighed quietly, wondering if this man who’s currently kneeling, could really understand the troubles and pains.

All sorts of Ellison’s cards and credit cards were cut by his father. Except for the sanatorium bills that had been paid in advance, there wasn't any fund that he could use.

It’s not because he wanted to put Ellison in a desperate situation. If he was being ruthless, he would just ignore him and let him fend on his own. He wouldn’t ensure that he still had an active billing for his treatment, wouldn’t force him into drug rehabilitation, and he wouldn’t contact any best treatment for him.

In fact, he’s controlling his fund to keep him away from his dissipated life habit.

It’s not that Ellison didn’t understand this. Those friends of his would befriend him only for money. if he didn’t have money, he was nothing to them. Let alone that they knew he’s infected with HIV, a virus that everyone talks about, they would definitely ask him to keep away from them.

It’s the reality of how the human heart is. When you had everything, everyone would make an effort to flatter you. When you had nothing, you’ll turn into someone who ran out of luck.

After Hengdu was gone, he was driven out of the country. He had nothing except the rehabilitation and treatment fees that had been paid in advance by his family. He would always remember that time when he borrowed money from his disreputable friends, whom he used to call brothers in his circle, said that they’re willing to risk their life when there’re difficulties. All of them looked for various reasons to evade him with their hideous faces.

Norton’s gaze was cold, but didn’t look at him, and mumbled, “Are you deaf? Don’t you hear what your mom said?”

“Thank you, Dad,” Ellison said sincerely before standing up. His legs were a bit feeble since the floor was hard causing his knees to be painful. It’s just a small pain that he couldn’t show.

Olive looked at the family whose relationship had mitigated. She couldn’t help but smile, “Well, it’s rare for all of you to come together. It’s almost lunch time now. What if I arrange a family reunion meal here, so all of you can eat happily?”

Iory replied as she’s afraid her husband would object, and quickly said, “This is a great idea. Olive, we will trouble you then.”

Norton snorted slightly but didn’t object.

Olive took it as his approval. She picked up her phone and dialed the number. Of course, she especially instructed the chef about which ingredients that can or cannot be used on all the dishes.

Norton shouted out his dissatisfaction on the side, “Silly girl, you’re so talkative. Since you’re not allowing me to eat anything, you might as well starve me to death.”

Iory was feeling annoyed at him, “Olive was thinking about your health, and yet you’re still so fussy about it.”

Because of Ellison’s effect, the game wasn’t successful. Iory pulled her son and attentively asked about his recent condition, while Norton stood alone silently at the balcony. Although it looked like he didn’t want to see his son anymore, his ears were listening to the conversation in the ward.

Olive actually kinda hoped to see this family in a harmonious relationship and also hoped that Ellison was wholeheartedly wanted to obey his parents during his unknown rest of life. This way, the regret of the misfortune would be less.

The restaurant was quite efficient. It didn’t take long for the delivery girl to knock on the door. As unwrapped the cover of the dish, the smell of food was flowing everywhere.

Olive helped to put the table cloth. Norton intended to ask her to sit down and ate together. But, she felt that it’s better to leave them some privacy this time, “It’s rare for all of you to have a good meal together. I won’t join you anymore. Alan is about to return, I have to go down. You enjoy your food and have a good chat.”

After returning to her ward, Olive made a phone call to Alan.

As always, Alan teased her, “Wifey, what’s wrong? Do you miss me?”
