Elijah and Kasey were both struck by the same overwhelming shock. The doctor's profound emotions sent shivers
down their spines, foreboding something terrible.
"What's the matter, Dr. Sheridan?" Kasey asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Dr. Sheridan handed them Nala's medical report. "When she arrived at the hospital, she had injuries, so we
conducted a comprehensive examination. The results revealed pathological changes in her blood..."
They stared at him, their eyes wide with fear.
"In simpler terms, she has leukemia."
"What?" Kasey felt her strength wane and struggled to catch her breath, nearly stumbling.
Elijah steadied her, though he also felt drained. He put on a facade of composure.
"Are you absolutely certain?" He enunciated each word carefully. "Dr. Sheridan, is this truly our daughter's report?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I wish I could be wrong," Dr. Sheridan said somberly. "I was concerned when the report came in, so I rechecked it
myself. Unfortunately, the diagnosis remains the same. It's leukemia but in its early stages, which means it's
treatable."
"Please, you must save her!" Kasey's heart shattered, and she sobbed. "I only have one daughter... I've been caring
for her since the day she was born. She's my entire world! I can't bear to go on if anything happens to her..."
"Take a breath!" Elijah implored. "Didn't the doctor mention there's a treatment?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Chriss, it's crucial that you stay composed," Dr. Sheridan urged. "We will devise a comprehensive
treatment plan, although there may be medication and injection side effects depending on her response. But..."
"No matter what, we will do whatever it takes to restore our daughter's health!" Elijah said with unwavering
determination.
Kasey turned to him, realizing in that moment he was not just her husband but the person she could lean on for the
rest of her life. Petty arguments and misunderstandings seemed trivial compared to their daughter's illness.
Elijah loved their child.
So did she.
Tears flowed incessantly as she rested her head on his chest. He was taken aback but gently patted her back,
holding her in silence.
"Don't worry. Nala will recover," he whispered in her ear. "She has parents who adore her. How could she bear to
leave us?"
Kasey nodded, tears in her eyes.
"Mr. and Mrs. Chriss, we'll need your cooperation during the treatment." Dr. Sheridan continued. "The most
effective treatment for leukemia is a bone marrow transplant. The highest success rate is with family members as
donors, so please have your family members undergo compatibility tests." "Absolutely, we understand."

That night, Lena locked herself in the bathroom, repeatedly taking showers.
Chris called out to her, but she wanted to avoid him. She submerged her head under the water until her chest felt
like it might burst, her thoughts erased by the act. She lifted her head only when bubbles appeared in the water,
gasping for air.
Using the showerhead, she tried to wash away the haunting memories of that night.
She believed she had pushed those memories to the back of her mind. Why had Drake brought them up again?
She squeezed her eyes shut, tears streaming down her cheeks and mixing with the water.
She was uncertain how long Chris had been calling her—his voice eventually faded away. She dried herself off, wore
her robe, and stepped out. She noticed a table set with freshly cooked dishes as she entered the living room.
A pot of hot soup simmered in the kitchen.
Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Chris.
[No matter what, please don't starve yourself. Eat properly, okay?]
