Let's Get Married novel Chapter 578

Thomas' words hit her like rocks. She thought although she was not a perfect sister, she could at least score 8 out of 10. She is surprised to know that is how he thinks of her.

He is right. She has been repressing her emotions every day. It was painful at first. But over time, she can't remember what freedom feels like. Therefore, she can't tell if she is free. She is accustomed to running around the hospital and workplaces every day. She has forgotten she used to be the president of the student union. She has forgotten the ambition she wrote down in her sophomore year. After leaving school for two years, she has lost hope for life. For a girl like her who comes from a poor family and has no connections, only knowledge can change her fate, but she has lost that last straw.

For this family, she has given up her college life. She has tried to numb herself, but Thomas, who is a bystander, sees everything.

"Sister, I know you've been doing this for me and Mom. I've thought about it. When I have more free time next semester, I'll work part-time. This way, I can share your burden. I don't want to see you sacrifice yourself for me."

Eunice chuckles and says, "Thomas, I'm not a good example. You're right."

She feels she was ridiculous when she lectured Thomas. Her life is colorless, and her mind is slave to all kinds of stereotypes that she sets up herself. Now, she wants Thomas to fall under them, too.

"I'm ridiculous."

"Sister, don't say that!" Thomas says emotionally, "If it weren't for you, this family would have been finished long ago. I just love you and want to tell you that I'm not what you think. I will be responsible for what I do, but I want you to be bolder and not so depressed."

"I understand," Eunice stands up from the sofa and says, "I am tired. I should take a rest."

Thomas wants to stop her, but he doesn't when he sees how she drags herself to her room.

The young man clenches his fists and swears in his heart, 'Sister, I will work hard and protect you and Mom!'

...

In a hospital in Country Y late at night

Karl places the research plan that has just been decided at the meeting in front of Rex, saying, "The experts have agreed to this after discussion. We have two plans for Lily's burns. One is traditional skin grafting, where we will remove some tissue from her body and put it on her back. It is a common treatment. The downside of this is that she will have conspicuous cars after the operation. The second is that the scar can be treated selectively with different wavelengths of colored light. By controlling the wavelength of the laser, we can repair different tissue and different degrees of scars without damaging the skin."

After saying that, he adds, "Although we've tried to control the damage, Lily's wounds are still relatively large. Therefore, the treatment can be quite painful. However, no anesthetics can be used. Otherwise, it will not be as effective. On the bright side, the treatment and our special medicine will guarantee she will be scar-free."

Rex listens quietly until he finishes, and asks, "How painful will it be?"

"The pain level can reach 7 or 8. To tell you the truth, many people, including male patients, did not manage to persevere till the end. Not a few gave up halfway."
