The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 595

Aileen overheard John's words and was completely shaken. She hadn't known about this before, and now, she was on the verge of breaking down.

Hailey stepped forward. "Aileen, don't get too worked up. Actually, Mrs. Zamora's health has been deteriorating for a long time."

Pamela had asked Hailey not to tell Declan and Aileen. Aileen was about to take her high school entrance exams, and this was a crucial time for her.

Aileen broke down in tears. This was a huge blow to her. Choking on her sobs, she cried, "Why did this happen? Mom's health was always good. I don't believe it, and I can't accept it. How could she possibly not make it through two days?"

Hailey pulled Aileen into a comforting hug. "Aileen, don't be sad. Mrs. Zamora didn't tell you because she didn't want you to cry."

Aileen broke down, crying uncontrollably. "Hailey, Declan and I lost our dad a long time ago. Mom has been the one raising us all these years. Even though she couldn't see, she's always taken such good care of us.

"My classmates would say I come from a single-parent family, but I never felt like I was missing anything—I had Declan and Mom. And now, I'm going to lose her too..."

Words of comfort felt insufficient, and Hailey could only hold Aileen tightly, gently patting her back, offering her presence and solace.

John approached. "Ms. Young, the best medication has been administered, but the patient is in critical condition. Please spend these final moments with her."

With that, John left.

Aileen managed to calm herself, wiping away her tears. She didn't want her mother to hear her cry. She had to stay strong.

She looked at Hailey and said, "Hailey, thank you. Every time something happens at home, you're always here to help us."

Hailey held Aileen's small hand. She knew that Aileen and Declan were both strong at their core, and hardships would only help them grow faster. "Aileen, didn't your brother come?"

Aileen shook her head. "I've been trying to call Declan, but I can't get through. Lately, he's been so busy. He's hardly ever home."

Aileen had no idea what Declan was caught up in.

Of course, Hailey wouldn't tell her either. "Aileen, let's go in and see Mrs. Zamora."

The two of them stepped into the hospital room. Pamela lay on the bed, looking clean and well-kept, but her face was pale.
