Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Two to Three Months to Live
Time seemed to pass very slowly.
Doctor Lu emerged from the emergency room, removing his mask with a look of fatigue on his face typical of an old family doctor, “Mr. Thompson is temporarily out of life-threatening danger for now, but…”
Doctor Lu looked at the woman in front of him trying to appear calm and said, “Mrs. Thompson, you need to be mentally prepared. His physical condition is already quite poor. I estimate he has maybe just two or three more months left.”
Two to three months.
Julia Land’s head buzzed, and she blinked her slightly red eyes, asking calmly, “Are you really out of options?”
Dale Land was hugging Alice Thompson when she arrived, just in time to hear Doctor Lu’s words.
She immediately turned pale, her steps faltering.
Alice Thompson also sensed his sister’s unease, his hands clinging around Dale Land’s neck, not saying a word.
Julia Land turned and saw the two children, forcing a smile, “Dale, take Alice and go rest for a bit. Mommy needs to talk to Doctor Lu.”
Dale Land’s tears swirled in her eyes, but she knew she couldn’t cry now.
She nodded and left holding Alice Thompson.
Only after Dale Land and the others had left did Julia Land turn back to Doctor Lu and ask, “Is there really no alternative?”
Doctor Lu sighed, “The current situation is indeed not promising, we’ve done all we can.”
Julia Land took a deep breath and casually wiped away the tears she hadn’t realized had fallen, steadying her emotions, “I understand, thank you.”
After Doctor Lu left, Julia Land stood in place for a long while before slowly making her way to the ward.
What do you think?
