American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 412: Cooper's Current Situation

"George, clean yourself up. The guests are coming soon. You look so unkempt..." Mary, who was preparing a big meal in the kitchen, took some time to nag her husband.

Only half a year had passed, and Father George had aged a lot. His weight gain and almost completely white hair made him look not much younger than Grandma Connie.

Because of heart problems, he is now unable to work as a football coach and is just staying at home and waiting to die.

"Peggy is not a stranger..." George muttered softly after hearing his wife's words, but he still got up and went back to the room to trim his beard and change into normal clothes.

Yes, due to health reasons, George has not been out for a long time. He often stays at home and has not paid attention to his image for a long time.

"And Missy, if you have nothing to do, clean up the living room. Otherwise, when Peggy comes over and sees the mess, she'll be embarrassed..." Perhaps it's because of her age, or perhaps it's because of the pressure of her family's current situation, Mary has gradually become nagging.

Here I have to talk about the current situation of the Cooper family. As George's father's heart problems gradually worsened, his body no longer supported him to be a high school football coach, so naturally he had no income.

In order to stabilize his condition, Mike had almost spent all the money he had earned from helping the Cooper family trade stocks.

In other words, the Cooper family's expenses are now supported by Mary's work in the church.

It's just a charity job at the church, and I don't make much money a month.

If George hadn't listened to Mike's advice and opened a used tire shop in California to make some money and sent some home every month, Mary's temper would probably be even worse now.

……

At dinner time, there was still a sumptuous meal in the Cooper's restaurant, but with the absence of George Jr., Mike, and Sheldon Jr., the atmosphere seemed a little deserted.

Father George doesn't need anyone to persuade him now, as he has quit drinking beer on his own initiative due to health reasons.

"Uncle George, Mike, who has been through this, told me that if you want to go to Apple City to treat your heart problems, he will prepare a professional medical team for you..." After seeing George's condition with her own eyes, Peggy told him Mike's advice.

If nothing unexpected happens, George's father will die of heart problems in the next one or two years, which will make the Cooper family, who are already in a difficult situation, even worse.

Although Mike is in Apple City, he doesn't mind helping the Cooper family within his ability.

"This... isn't a good idea~" Father George was a little surprised at first and politely refused.

He knew the condition of his own body and had reached the point where he had given up hope, so he didn't want to cause trouble for others.

"Mike said that he will reimburse all the expenses during the treatment. So you can discuss it with your family and then give an answer..." Peggy showed her high emotional intelligence and finally mentioned: "In fact, Mike opened a company on Wall Street and made a lot of money."

Facts have proved that people with high IQs generally have high EQs, it just depends on whether they are willing to show it.

Peggy is obviously like this. Her high emotional intelligence this time has helped the Cooper family solve their worries.

"George, I think we can accept Mike's kindness. You don't want Mary to be the only one at home to take care of little Sheldon and Missy, do you?" Grandma Connie didn't treat Mike as an outsider, so she was naturally willing to see him help the Cooper family.

Besides, little Sheldon and Missy are still young. If they grow up without their father’s company, who knows what problems may arise.

"I also think that you should go to Apple City for treatment..." Although Mary had shown that she disliked her husband before, it was all due to the pressure of life.

If the other person can get better, she will definitely be the first to support him.

After just a few words, the Cooper family decided to let Father George go to Apple City for treatment.

The question now is who will go with him.

After all, there are little Sheldon and Missy at home who need care.

Finally, Grandma Connie said that she had not been to Apple City yet and could go with George to see it.

Having solved the biggest dilemma in the family, the Cooper family now had hope, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

When it was evening, Peggy rejected Grandma Connie's invitation and said that she wanted to live with her little sister Missy.

"How is life at Columbia University? Is it interesting?" Missy, wrapped in a quilt, started talking carefully.

In less than half a year, the previously heartless Missy has grown a lot. With her high emotional intelligence, she has also realized the gap between herself and Peggy and Mike. This made her feel a little inferior unconsciously, and she didn't even say a few words at the dinner table before.

"College life is just like that. If you are interested, you can go to Apple City in the future..." Peggy deliberately skipped the specific question and started chatting with her sisters in private.

It is inevitable to talk about Mike's current situation.

Maybe it's because girls develop earlier than boys, Missy is now about 1.6 meters tall, and you can tell she's a beauty.

But unlike the beautiful Peggy, Missy, who is in puberty, looks a little chubby, which may be the reason for her inferiority complex.

"If you have time, you can go to Apple City. Mike will be happy to see you." After restoring their sisterhood, Peggy made a suggestion.

Needless to say, facing those "slutty bitches" like Regina and Tina, the girl is looking for "allies" for herself.

"Is this really possible? Will Mike welcome me?" Missy's little face in the quilt turned red, not knowing what she was thinking about.

But her appearance is so easy to understand.

"Yes~" Peggy answered in the affirmative.

Although she was a little embarrassed, the girl knew Mike too well.

……

The next day, after a night of relaxation, Missy had regained her energy and she and Peggy were as close as real sisters.

"I'll be spending this Christmas in Apple City. You can come see me if you want." Outside the Cooper home, Peggy instructed her sisters as she was about to leave.

"Well, I'll come see you..." Missy replied with a smile. Of course, she added silently in her heart: and Mike.

"Grandma Connie and Uncle George, I will come to see you the day after tomorrow, and then we will go to Apple City together." Peggy also reminded those who were going to Apple City for medical treatment.

Yes, this time when Peggy goes home with her dad, she only plans to stay for one day.

As for Peggy's family, after they stopped worrying about cultivating a super "child prodigy", the relationship between her parents became very harmonious.

Look, in just half a year, we have another child.

At the same time, while the girl was enjoying the rare family happiness, Mike, who was staying in Apple City, also received news from the girl.

In two days, Papa George will come to Apple City for treatment.

Out of gratitude, Mike was still very concerned about this matter. So he put aside his studies for the time being and took a car to go see John and the medical team around him.

Yes, because of John's wife, Mike handed over the matters of forming the medical team to John.

So, the person who has been in contact with Dr. House and Dr. Sean is John.

The reason Mike went to see the other party this time was to first see the quality of the medical team formed by John.

"Oh? The injustice you mentioned... The big boss who paid for opening this private hospital wants to come and see us?" In a hospital that looks like it has advanced equipment, Dr. House, who is leaning on a cane, has no joy on his face.

Standing next to him were several people of different appearances, with no expression on their faces.

These people gathered together form Dr. House's medical team.

On the other side not far from here, there stood a group of young people with relatively immature faces and attire that was very suitable for the profession of doctors.

Their expressions looked much more serious.

The young man standing in the middle with his fists slightly clenched due to nervousness is Dr. Sean.

Obviously, this group of young doctors is the small medical team formed around Sean.
