The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1323

After hearing what the doctor said, Amelia's parents not only lost hope but also fell into deeper despair. Amelia's mother broke down on the spot as well. Her great sadness could be felt by anyone.

Amelia’s father embraced her, not knowing how to console her.

He was in great despair too. No words of comfort could console her, much less himself.

I sighed and asked the doctor, "Is there any other treatment available other than a bone marrow transplant?"

The doctor shook his head. "With the current technology, leukemia can only be cured by a bone marrow transplant. And even with a bone marrow transplant, there is no 100% guarantee of success. Leukemia is generally genetic. The child's mother or father probably has a family history of leukemia."

"Our family doesn't have this genetic disease," Amelia's parents said in a choking voice.

That would be the problem on the father's side, then.

When Amelia’s parents had quieted down, I spoke to the doctor to get a general idea of the situation.

After leaving the doctor's office, Amelia's mother suddenly knelt in front of me, pleading with me, “Please, I beg you, Mrs. Grant, save the child. Amelia is gone now, and Sky is our only hope for survival. He's only five this year and hasn’t even had the chance to grow up. He's not ready to leave yet." “His life is so miserable. He didn't have a father when he was born, and Amelia was so busy making money that she didn't have time to keep him company. He's very lonely. Because we didn't have enough money, he still hasn't had the chance to go to kindergarten. Look at how young he is. I hope you can take pity on him and save him. If you’re willing to save him, then I don't mind being your slave in my next life. He'll forever be indebted to you once he grows up.”

I was a little overwhelmed by her sudden kneeling and tried to pull her up, but she would not budge.

There were people walking back and forth along the corridor. I felt awkward and bent down to look at her, saying, "Please stand up first, Ma'am. We can always have a proper talk about things. You don't have to be this way. Amelia has worked for Grant Corporation for a very long time. We'll do everything we can to help."

Amelia's mother was already crying so hard that she was gasping for air. However, she still insisted, "Our unfilial son robbed us of all of our money, and our pension doesn't reach us every month. We depended on Amelia's salary to survive, that's why we so shamelessly went to Grant Corporation to demand compensation. We'll die of starvation if we don’t do that."

I took pity on them, so I felt really bad too.

The child's leukemia was only making matters worse for the elderly. These misfortunes could deal a devastating blow to anyone. Perhaps one might even find it hard to move on and choose to end one's life.
