Serena examined the lump, her brows furrowed in confusion. She thought, ‘It doesn’t look serious at all, so why is Kendall so worried?‘ Then, she continued the body checking.
Serena let go of Cassie’s hand, her face still full of confusion.
Kendall watched Serena anxiously, her heart pounding. “Ms. Hale, how is Cassie? Is there any way to save her?”
As long as there was even a glimmer of hope, Kendall wouldn’t give up.
Honestly, Kendall wasn’t holding out much hope. She’d just glanced at Cassie and checked Cassie’s body. There was no way she could really figure out anything from that.
Serena looked up and caught Naomi peeking out from the doorway.
Serena paused, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. She turned to Kendall and said, “Mrs. Brett, the lump is pressing on a nerve, and it’s close to a blood vessel, but the surgery is actually pretty straightforward.
“Why did the doctors tell you it couldn’t be done?”
Kendall was stunned. She thought, ‘Wait, surgery is actually possible?‘
Every time she’d taken Cassie to the doctor, she’d spent a fortune, only to be told the same thing over and over.
“Ms. Hale, are you saying that the surgery can actually be done?” Kendall finally managed to ask, her voice trembling.
Serena nodded reassuringly. “Yes, the surgery isn’t that risky. I can personally perform the operation for Cassie. I actually have my own hospital.”
Naomi yelled, “Who do you think you are, Ms. Hale? Just poking around, and suddenly you think you can do surgery? So what, all those big–shot doctors at the fancy hospitals are useless now?
“Listen up, there’s no saving that girl, and I don’t need you meddling in our family’s business. Get out of here, now!”
Naomi suddenly burst out of the room, glaring at Serena with a domineering look.
Serena felt a nagging suspicion deep down, but she didn’t dare say it out loud.
‘Maybe I was right all along. Naomi never wanted Cassie to survive, Serena thought.
Kendall pleaded, “Naomi, what are you doing? Ms. Hale is my supervisor, and she is here because she cares and wants to help my daughter.
“Why are you treating her like this? Don’t you want Cassie to get better? She is in pain every single day, Naomi, I’m begging you, please don’t do this.”
Kendall just felt helpless. Naomi really didn’t care about anyone’s feelings.
But Naomi only yelled even louder, “Shut up! I’ve told you before that a useless burden is never getting better. If you want her treated, why don’t you go earn some cash yourself?
“And don’t bring home some clueless quack. Just a few pokes, and she claims she can operate? She is just here to scam you
for cash!”
Naomi gave Serena a death stare, her eyes practically burning with hostility.

Serena frowned, unable to figure out what Naomi was playing at. She thought, ‘Her attitude is just too weird.
I just said I could cure Cassie, but it is obvious that Naomi doesn’t want her granddaughter to recover at all.
Kendall gave Serena an apologetic look. “Ms. Hale, can you really help my daughter with the surgery?”

More than anything, Kendall just wanted Cassie to get well soon and live a normal life, going to school like all the other kids.
