I just rewatched the first few episodes. Sean had police protection at the hospital covering aunt Marie but withdrew them later. Nick tried to get Sean to reinstate them and when Sean wouldn't, Nick convinced Monroe go over to watch after aunt Marie since he couldn't be there himself. Monroe fought off some attackers and decided to beat it after letting Nick know what happened.
No, I mean before that, when she first was diagnosed with cancer. If you notice, Marie came to him.
I can only attribute it to the fact that when we don't live so close to family and they are going through some sort of chronic or terminal illness, if they tell us that they are doing okay we accept it. Partly because we are engrossed in our own lives, work, etc. When we finally see them we are often shocked at how far the disease has progressed or their condition. Actually I have no good excuse for him...
