Late at night, | lay on the hospital bed, feeling lost and confused about what to do next.
| would see fleeting images of the times Munchkin and | spent together.
It lasted until | sensed movement beside my bed. | smelled a familiar scent and was soon locked in a familiar
embrace.
| turned around and faced Theo. His breath sprayed gently on my forehead. Listening to his heartbeat, | slowly
calmed down.
"Stop thinking about it. Have srest. I'll be here with you." He patted my back like he was coaxing a child. |
slowly dozed off. Early next morning, Petra brought chicken soup.
"I rummaged through the fridge yesterday and saw that this chicken looked quite good. | cooked it overnight. |
already told the servant to go to the countryside to buy sfree-range chicken. Your body needs some
nourishment."

"It's okay, Mom. | can do it myself." | reached out to take the bowl and saw the complicated expression on Petra's
face.
"I know you're in pain right now and you're just pretending like you're fine. | can't do much for you and can only
bring you something delicious."
| smiled. "That's more than enough." I did not want her to feel exhausted.
"Don't worry. | went to check on Munchkin and the doctor said that he's fine. He just said that he needs more rest
because he's still too young"
Seeing the shimmer in her eyes, | knew she was about to tear up again soon. "It's okay, Mom. Things will get
better."
The doctor knocked on the door and walked in. "You're Munchkin's mother, right?"
I nodded.
"We'd like to update you on sof the new findings we just made."
Petra quickly got up after hearing what he said and tried to go forward. | thought about her aging body and
refused.
"Wait here, Mom. I'll tell you what the doctor says later."
"Letcwith you. I'd like to hear it too." Next to me, Grayson glanced atand quickly took the hint.
"Be good and rest here. Let the child go. You won't understand what the doctor says anyway. After he tells
Wanda about it, Wanda will cback and let you know. Don't worry." Petra looked atwith reluctance but
had no choice but to listen to Grayson.
Theo helpedout of the ward.
"After last night's data study, we confirmed that your child has acute myeloid
leukemia. Most of the biological cells in the child's body have been altered by external chemicals, especially his
blood-forming stem cells."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is there anything you can do to save him?"
| once heard that there were two types of leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
Between them, acute myeloid leukemia was the more serious one. "Please calm down first, Ms. Lane," the doctor
advised, considering my health condition.
"I'm telling you these things to let you know that now that we've diagnosed the cause of the disease, we can
now confirm the treatment plan. Acute myeloid leukemia can be treated either by chemotherapy or allogeneic
stem cell transplantation. There are already fully cured patients in clinical trials. However, you should also be
mentally prepared. 40 to 60 percent of these patients don't go into complete remission and have a relatively low
survival rate, so | hope you can be mentally prepared."
He looked at me, then at Theo.
After the doctor left, | was utterly shattered.

This was something | had anticipated.
