He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 449

Boom!

The word 'leukemia' struck like a bolt of lightning, smashing straight into her chest.

A deafening ringing filled Scarlett's ears.

The entire world seemed to hit mute.

She could see the doctor's mouth moving, throwing out medical jargon like 'abnormal blood count,' 'suspected diagnosis,' and 'bone marrow biopsy.' The words buzzed around her like a swarm of flies, but her brain couldn't process a single one.

It felt as if all the blood in her veins had reversed course and turned to solid ice.

It took a full thirty seconds for reality to crash back into her.

She locked eyes with the doctor, a terrifying, desperate intensity radiating from her.

"What did you just say my daughter has?"

Startled by her ferocious expression, the doctor instinctively took a step back. But his professional training kicked in, and his tone remained grave but steady.

"Ms. Langley, please try to stay calm. The current blood work is highly irregular. The white blood cell count is exceptionally high, which strongly indicates a disease of the blood system—commonly known as leukemia. However, to get a definitive diagnosis, we will need to perform a bone marrow biopsy."

"A bone marrow biopsy?"

The words twisted like a serrated knife in her heart.

"You want to do a bone marrow biopsy on a baby?"

Her voice was raw and broken, her eyes instantly filling with bloodshot tears. "Do you know how small she is? How could you subject her to something so barbaric?!"

"I won't allow it! I am not putting my baby through that kind of agony! I..."

Trembling violently, her vision went black at the edges, and her legs gave out completely.

"Scarlett!"

Julian, who had been waiting in the hallway, rushed in at the commotion and caught her securely before she hit the floor.
