Cordelia continued, noticing Renee's expression. "Zennie, if she doesn't need a kidney transplant, does that mean she'll recover from her condition soon?"
"Not so quickly," Zennie replied calmly. "Kidney dysfunction is a chronic and long-term condition that can be quite challenging. Considering the patient's weak physical constitution, we can only manage it through conservative treatments."
"Do you have a solution?"
"Yes." Zennie nodded with a smile. "There's a highly effective drug that has recently been released in Eropah. It has undergone clinical trials and targets this specific condition... However, it comes with a high cost, and the patient's family needs to carefully consider it."
Renee moved her lips, appearing troubled.
On the side, Cordelia chimed in with a smile. "No worries. If there's an effective drug, we'll find a way to afford it at our joint hospital!"
"Aunt Cordelia..."
Renee's voice choked, looking at Cordelia with a complex expression, unable to find the right words.
"I've already told you, as long as we're here, your mother will be safe." Cordelia turned to the girl and gently held her hand, giving her a reassuring smile.
Renee's mind went blank, her heart pounding. She felt like she was in a dream, but this dream felt so real.
Almost instinctively, she held onto Cordelia's hand, afraid of waking up from this dream.
"Aunt Cordelia, I..." Renee's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, I've been lying to you all this time. I..."
"Don't say a thing." Cordelia gently patted her hand. "Go take care of your mother first. As for the drug, I promise she'll receive it in time!"
Renee looked at her in tears, and finally, accompanied by a nurse, she slowly walked into the hospital room.
Cordelia felt a sense of guilt as well.
Just then, a large hand gently pressed on her shoulder. The familiar presence of that person instantly eased her tense nerves.
She habitually leaned against the man's embrace with a slight smile on her lips.
"Now that I'm older, I really can't bear to see the younger generation in distress."
