Robert was in shock. He didn't know what to do. The last weeks had been like a roller coaster. Cora had finally given birth to their third child, a daughter named Sybil, and he thought his heart might explode with joy.
But things hadn't gone as expected, Cora had a few blood tests when in hospital and the doctor said she needed to go for more tests. Cora kept insisting it was nothing she just needed to rest after the birth of their third child. 2 weeks after giving birth to her third child, Cora had been diagnosed with leukemia.
Robert couldn't stop crying when Rosamunde had picked him up at the hospital , he needed to be strong now.
