Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 230

Hunter quickly got in touch with Chandler, but regrettably, the man's services were in such high demand that he was currently in another country treating patients. He couldn't make it back in time to examine Zayne.

However, Chandler introduced them to a doctor—an ophthalmology specialist who practiced in Brindley.

Normally, it was very hard to get an appointment with him, but with Chandler's referral, they could go straight to him, and he'd see them during off-hours.

If even this ophthalmology specialist couldn't help, they would have to keep looking for someone else to help.

Hunter contacted him right away, then he and Noelle took Zayne in for an examination.

After conducting a comprehensive examination of Zayne's eyes, the doctor, named Zack Slater, said, "The boy's condition is already very severe. If he'd come a month earlier, there might have been a chance to save his eyesight, but now, there's nothing I can do. However, I have a senior colleague abroad who has been researching this particular area. I'll discuss it with him—if you're willing to give it a try, you can go to him."

Zack's expression was grave. "But he's a researcher, not a clinician who can guarantee a cure. In addition, the child's entire treatment process would be recorded for his team to study."

Zack looked at Noelle and Hunter and said, "You, as his parents, should discuss it first."

Noelle and Hunter exchanged looks.

Noelle's mind was in turmoil.

She asked Zack for the man's name and details and had Albert investigate him immediately.

She didn't want her perfectly healthy child to end up blind for the rest of his life.

But handing Zayne over to a research team meant a longer, more meticulous course of treatment. And because of the unknowns of the research, the treatment could cause serious side effects to emerge in the future.

As a mother, that was a gamble she didn't dare take.

Hunter put his arm around her shoulders, thanked Zack, and left the doctor's office.

"If we pass on this chance, we'll have to wait for Chandler to return. But Chandler isn't an ophthalmology expert—he's brilliant at detoxifying poisons, and Zayne's problem isn't caused by poison."

Hunter spoke earnestly. "You should consider it."

Zayne's eye condition was the result of genetics compounded by neglect—the condition of his eyes was essentially irreversible.

Even with treatment, there wasn't much hope to hold on to.

Noelle knew that better than anyone.

But right now, there was no better solution.

"Chandler's schedule is packed. By the time he's available, Zayne's eyes could get even worse."

If his ocular disease progressed, and there was a chance of restoring his vision in the future that had been lost due to delays, she would only regret it more.

Just then, Albert sent her the information he dug up.

The researcher, who specialized in rare ocular diseases that Zack recommended to them, was named Milo Smith. Although he didn't serve as a clinician, he had made several major breakthrough discoveries.

Cases like Zayne's—complex, intractable eye diseases—were exactly the kind researchers like him favored most.
