Connor spoke up, "It's in the genes."
Chloe's real identity as the Shaw family's biological daughter was still under wraps from the public. Even Dr. Goodman was in the dark about it, which left him momentarily taken aback. But soon enough, they shifted their focus back to Chloe's medical condition.
"Is it serious?" Connor asked, concern etching his voice.
Dr. Goodman examined the scan with a deep intensity, his eyes fixed on it for what felt like forever. Finally, he broke the silence. "I can't give a definite answer right now. This is my first time seeing her scan. If this cerebral vascular tumor hasn't shown any growth over the years, it doesn't appear too worrying at the moment."
Connor suddenly remembered something. "I've got another scan. Could you have a look at it?"
Quick as a flash, Connor had Teddy fetch another MRI scan, one that belonged to Chloe as well. Back when they were rescued, Chloe had spent two days and nights unconscious in the hospital. During her stay, a full examination was done, but nothing out of the ordinary turned up back then. The only thing noted was a suspected shadow on her brain scan, which the doctor guessed might have been due to her moving during the test.
Dr. Goodman looked at the retrieved brain scan and asked, "When was this taken?"
"Three months ago," Connor replied.
Dr. Goodman studied it closely, his brow furrowing deeper with each passing second. Connor felt his nerves tighten like a drawn bowstring. Finally, Dr. Goodman set the scan down and took off his glasses.
"Mr. Connor, to be frank, the outlook isn't promising," he said, his words heavy with concern.
