My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 867

Eudora was stunned. How could such a young child have leukemia?

As Harley and Thea stayed still in a state of shock, Eudora quickly came forward.

She asked the doctor, "How's the child doing right now? Is there anything that the family members can do to help?"

"The child's current situation is not that good, mainly due to his poor physical health. We suggest having him treated as soon as possible. However, we need a person's bone marrow to treat his leukemia. If his family understands and agrees to it, we will begin searching for bone marrow in our system! However..."

The doctor paused for a moment, making Thea ask anxiously, "However what? Tell me!"

"It’s just that the child isn't that healthy. If his body rejects the transplant, it'll be dangerous."

The fact made Thea break down completely, "You're a doctor! If that occurs, you must treat it immediately!"

The doctor looked uncomfortable as he answered, "Of course we will! However, we are not celestial beings. We will do our best but we can't guarantee that nothing bad will happen!"

Hearing that, Thea's legs turned to jelly.

"If you can't that guarantee that nothing bad will happen, what will my Cutie Pie become? Tell me, what is going to happen to him?"

Harley was frightened and he hurriedly hugged Thea from behind.

"Thea, don't scare me. Cutie Pie needs you! You can't lose your confidence now..."

The doctor looked at Harley and then at Thea.

"Well, you two look pretty young. Maybe you can try using the blood from the umbilical cord. Blood from a sibling will result in a smaller chance for rejection to happen. So, it's relatively safer."

Harley trembled upon hearing this. Thea was stunned as well.

She thought of another question.

She asked, "I'm not pregnant though, so do we have enough time to do that?"

The doctor pondered for a moment, "Although his condition is dangerous at the moment, if we take precautions, he should be fine for the next eight months! If you can get pregnant within this month, we can extract the blood after seven months..."

"Okay. Thank you, doctor."

After the doctor left, Harley reached out to grab Thea's arm.

"Thea, about this matter, we..."

"Harley!" Thea shook her head. "Don't persuade me to do otherwise. I must save him."

She had been abandoned before when she was just a child. So, she treasured her relationship with Cutie Pie even more. His arrival had also given her a plethora of joy.

She would not leave Cutie Pie nor would she ever abandon him.

Seeing this, Amos stretched his hand out and pulled Eudora to him, "It's getting late. Everyone must be hungry, right? Let's go out and buy something for them to eat."

Eudora was lost in thought. Now that Amos had mentioned it, she realized that it was inappropriate for her to be here.

They had known Thea and Harley for a long time. All of them knew that Cutie Pie wasn't Harley's child.

If Thea followed the doctor's suggestion, it meant that she and Harley...

"Mommy, what's bone marrow, the one that the doctor mentioned about? What's umbilical cord blood?"

Eudora explained the situation to Juju and concluded that it was something that could save Cutie Pie.

"Can my bone marrow save him? Mom, I want to save him!"

Eudora reached out and hugged Juju, "I don't know either. It's excruciating for someone to extract their bone marrow. Also, the doctor said that the hospital will search for a compatible donor through the system. It's possible that they'll find a match! You might not be needed after all!"

"But Mom, I want to help. I'm not afraid!"

Eudora had no choice but to nod, "If you really want to, I can bring you to get tested once we have an update. If it's a match, I will support the idea of you helping Cutie pie."

In fact, donating one's bone marrow would not have much impact on the person's body. It was just that the extraction process was painful, a test of one's willpower.

Although Eudora's heart ached for Juju, she also understood Juju well. It would be difficult to change her mind!

As expected, Juju became much happier. She said, "Mom, let's go buy some food! They sell the milk powder that Cutie Pie likes. Let's buy one tin of it for him!"

Eudora nodded and watched as Juju walked away happily.

She sighed weakly, "She's really becoming more and more stubborn. I wonder who she got that quality from!"

As soon as she finished her words, Amos glanced at her, "Who do you think?"

Eudora was dumbfounded by his question.

Why did she feel like she had just dug herself into a hole?
