Chapter Twenty

Seto was taking Joey to Hawaii for their honeymoon. He had reserved a beach house for them to use while they were there. They had a really great time there. They went sailing, snorkeling, went walking along the beach and watched the sunset and would sit on the balcony of the beach house and watch the sunrise and then make love till they fell asleep and would sleep till early evening get up and start their day over again.

What Joey or anyone else didn't know was that Greg was very sick and against his doctors advice he refused to under go Chemo-therapy and radiation till after his son's Wedding and now it was to late and eventually he would succumb to the prostrate cancer. They wouldn't find out until they had returned from Hawaii just how sick he really was.

Cassandra had found her grandfather lying on the bedroom floor and he wasn't breathing right and she called Roland who called 911. When Roland got there they were just putting Greg in the ambulance and heading to the hospital and he had a drive come take Cassandra to stay at the Manor till Roland could determine what was wrong.

Being that Roland was the guardian of both Seto and Mokuba Kaiba he had a lot of pull in Domino and when he demanded to find out what was wrong with Greg Wheeler he was told that he had the later stages of prostrate cancer and that there wasn't much of anything the doctors could do for him except make him as comfortable and give him medicine to help elevate some of the pain.

When Roland was able to talk to Greg and he asked him "why didn't you tell Joseph about this?" Greg told "listen I had caused my son to leave Domino all those years ago and I had prayed for some kind of miracle that would bring my son home and then when he did come home, well I found out that I might have prostrate cancer but they'd have to do some more tests to determine if it was, and then when Joey and I began talking again well I wasn't going to ruin any chance I had to have my son and granddaughter with me."

Roland then said "that's a bunch of bull shit and you know it. You are one selfish bastard and now your son and granddaughter is going to pay for your selfishness. They love you and now they are going to lose you, well I hope that you're really proud of yourself because now you're going to cause them such anguish because you were to damn stubborn to tell them and maybe if you had you might of lived a comfortable live with them by your side."

Roland had to get the hell out of there before he physically threw that man against the wall. As the drove back to the Manor he wondered what he was going to tell Cassandra? It wasn't his place to really tell her anything, but he had to say something because she wasn't stupid and she knew that her grandpa was sick. When he got home it was really late and Mokuba and Cassandra were already in bed, in a way that was relief because he would have time to figure out what to say to her.

Cassandra had cried herself to sleep because she was worried about her grandpa and sometime during the night her mother came to her in her sleep and she wrapped her daughter in her loving embrace and then she said "my baby girl, I know that you're worried about your grandfather, but listen to me he is very sick and yes he'll probably die but remember that he loves you and will for ever. You're daddy will be home soon and he will tell you what you want to know, but remember my little angel your grandfather loves both you and your dad and what he did he did for the two of you?"

The next morning when she woke up and went downstairs to find the kitchen, Mokuba met her and they went together. As she sat at the table, Roland was still torn as to what to tell her and upon seeing the troubled look on his face Cassandra said "I know my grandpa is going to die, but I don't know from what."

Roland nearly fell off his chair when she said that and he asked her "how do you know?"

Cassandra the said "do you believe in angels and that they can come talk to you? He shook his head yes. Well my momma came to me last night while I was sleeping and told me that my grandfather was going to die and that when my dad came home he would explain it to me, she also said that what he did he did for us. I don't know what she meant by that, all I know is that my grandpa loves us."

Roland hadn't really been a very religious person till that day when Gozoboro nearly killed Seto and he sat in the Chapel of the hospital and he asked God to help Seto get better and a little old lady came over and sat beside him and waited till he stopped praying and she said "listen my son, God knows about how much you love that boy and he will help him get better. You are a good man and because of your love for those two brothers he sees in you so much love and determination to do what is right for the brothers. Go now and when you get there you'll see how God works miracles." Then she just walked out of the Chapel, and when Roland got up to leave the Chaplain came in and Roland asked "who was that old lady that I was just talking to?"

The Chaplain looked at him then he smiled and he asked him "was she a little lady with snowy white hair and the most beautiful blue eyes?"

Roland told him "yes."

Then the Chaplain said "that was Molly Fitzgerald, she was a patient here till she died and now people say that she comes to them in their times of need and like a miracle great things happen. You see she was a nun at the Catholic Church for years and when she suffered a heart attack she died here. Because of her love for people I believe she is here to help families and anyone else through their time of need."

Roland smiled at Cassandra and he told her "your momma is your Guardian Angel and she is watching over you and your dad. I believe in angels because I met on once and she changed my life forever. Your dad will be home in two days and he will answer your questions and yes, your grandfather does love you."

They had breakfast and then she asked "can I go see my grandpa"

Roland smiled and said "alright, after we eat I'll drive you there." Mokuba asked "if he could go too" and Cassandra said "thank you."

When they got to the hospital and went upstairs to the floor that he was on, they walked to the room and Roland told the Nurse "this is Greg Wheeler's granddaughter and she wants to see her grandfather."

Ginny was Greg's Nurse and she smiled and said "he'll be happy to see you." Then she took them to the room and as they went inside, Cassandra took hold of Mokuba's hand and they walked over and she touched the side of her grandpa's face and he opened his eyes and smiled at her and said "hello, my sweet little angel, how are you?"

Cassandra then kissed his cheek and she whispered "momma came to me last night and told me, I don't want you to go please don't die."

Tears were falling from Roland and Mokuba's eyes as well as from Greg's as he looked into those beautiful eyes of the most precious angel, and he said "honey, I couldn't make you and your father go through all of the hell watching me go through the chemo-therapy and radiation treatments so I didn't have them. I know that it was wrong on my part and some may even think that I was selfish but I wanted what time we had together to be happy times and I was so glad to have my family together again."

She touched the side of his face and gave him a hug and kiss and said "I love you so much grandpa and I want to thank you for being her for me and dad."

They talked for a little while longer and then Greg got tired and she said "I'll be back later grandpa" but he was already sleeping and so they left and when they got outside the room she started crying and Roland put his arms around her and as she cried he told her "he really does love you" and as she looked up at him he dried her tears and she said "I love him and I love you too, thanks for being here for me" and she looked at Mokuba and he nodded his head that he understood that she meant him too.

As they drove back to the Manor, she couldn't wait for her dad and Seto to get home. She needed them right now.
