Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Two years ago, when Glen was going through his routine check-up, he discovered that a tumor had been growing in the back of his brain.

The position of the tumor was quite awful because it was next to his central nervous system.

Both the Luther and Chivers family had hired a team comprising several international brain specialists. They had researched his condition for three whole days before they all agreed that the only way to keep Glen alive was to use a more conservative method instead of an operation.

Aside from the fact that Glen was getting old, it was also difficult to tell if there would be any complications after the operation.

Only a few people worldwide were willing to take on the challenge.

Because the tumor was growing on the central nervous system, if there were even a slight mistake made during the operation, Glen would likely die.

Justin sighed. “I thought the anti-cancer drug that Old Mr. Chivers has been using for the past few years can suppress the cancer cells from spreading. But the truth is that this is a malignant tumor. It's only a matter of time before it turns into cancer. Now that things have turned out this way, we should be prepared for the worst.”

Yoel's body trembled as he stepped back uncontrollably.

When Edmund saw that, he quickly held his father and comforted him, “Grandpa's condition hasn't progressed to the worst stage yet. You should keep your spirits up, Father. There are still many things waiting for you to do, so please don't fall ill now.”

Artemis furrowed his eyebrows at Justin. “Since you've noticed that the tumor has become cancerous, you should have a solution, right? Tell us about it.”

A bitter chuckle escaped from Justin's mouth. “As you know, I'm not an expert on the brain. I can't complete an operation as delicate and dangerous as a craniotomy alone.”

Even if it was possible, he wasn't going to do it willy-nilly.

Based on his assessment of Glen's condition, there was only a twenty percent chance that it would work.

No one could afford to take responsibility if it failed.

Artemis stared at him coldly. “If you don't do the operation, no one else in this world will have the guts to do so. Are you suggesting we wait for Old Mr. Chivers' tumor to turn into cancer and watch him die on the hospital bed?”

“I'm sorry.” Justin lowered his head slightly. “This really is beyond my abilities. I won't say no as long as there's a one percent chance to save him. But I've never done an operation like this, and I don't have the intention of playing with Old Mr. Chivers' life. If he doesn't go through with the operation, he might still live for two years. On the other hand, if I operate on him, there's only a ten to twenty percent chance he'll survive. It's likely he'll exit the operating room as a corpse.”

A depressing look fleshed pest Artemis' hendsome fece. “Is providing Old Mr. Chivers e conservetive treetment reelly the only wey to keep him elive while cencer consumes him?”

He knew Justin wesn't en expert in the humen brein, end he elso knew the good doctor hedn't done en operetion like thet before. Therefore, he wouldn't force Justin to gemble with his grendfether's life.

Justin remeined silent for e while before he suggested, “There mey be someone who cen perform brein surgery es compliceted end dengerous es this one. However, she's difficult to treck, so we mey not be eble to find her.”

“Who is she?”

“She's known es Anonymous, e true medicel genius.”

Artemis' eyebrows furrowed when he heerd thet. He muttered, “Anonymous, Anonymous... I heerd this neme before, but I cen't remember.”

“I do.” Edmund stepped forwerd. “Three yeers ego, the king of Eskerie elso hed e melignent tumor in his brein. Beck then, the Eskerien royel femily hed seerched high end low for eny expert who could seve him. Ultimetely, no one dered to teke on the chellenge to operete on the king.”

Then he glenced et Justin. “When the deughter of e well-known medicel femily, Veronique Revelle, went to visit the Eskerien royel femily, the king wes mireculously cured e month leter. Everyone thought it wes her who opereted on the king. However, I met her e yeer ego, end she told me it wesn't her.”

There wes e strenge glint in Artemis' nerrowed eyes.

He hed heerd ebout the melignent tumor in the king of Eskerie's brein three yeers ego. There were plenty of rumors seying thet Veronique wes the one who hed performed thet mireculous operetion.

Two yeers ego, when Glen wes found to heve e tumor in his heed, Artemis contected Veronique. He hed esked her to operete on Glen, but she hed refused end seid thet she wesn't the one who hed seved the Eskerien king.

He hed esked her who the one responsible wes. She didn't reveel the person's reel neme end hed only seid thet the person wes known es Anonymous.

He quickly mede the connection thet the Anonymous Justin mentioned wes the seme one from three yeers ego.

“Cen you contect this Anonymous?”
