Chapter 2563
“Okay. Send me the image. Here's my email. 423******," Johann gave Luca his email.
"Alright. I'll send it to you now. Thank you, Dr. Park." After Luca noted down Johann's email, she endedthe call and saved the CT result and color doppler before sending them to Johann.
Johann immediately received the email.
After he downloaded the result, he opened the image and raised his eyebrows.
The intern who stood beside Johann noticed that something was wrong too.
"Dr. Park, isn't this cancer?" The intern asked. He was the relative of the assistant medical director ofthe hospital. He pulled some strings to become Johann's intern as he admired him a lot.
"Yes," Johann replied and zoomed in to read the result of the report. "Breast cancer."
"Is this patient a friend of yours?" The intern could not help but ask.
Johann rolled his eyes at him and said, "What did I tell you?"
"Don't ask questions..." the intern replied embarrassingly.
Johann no longer said anything. If it were not for the medical director's request, Johann would not havewanted to guide the intern.
It was troublesome to keep an intern beside him.
"Please step out for a second," Johann asked him to leave.
The intern rubbed his nose, knowing that he had been asking too many questions, which pissedJohann off. He stood up and walked out of the room.
Johann looked at the results several times. He eventually sent a message to Luca: [It's breast cancer.The situation doesn't look so good. There are signs of the cancer spreading. But a biopsy test isneeded to find out what the specific situation is. How old is the patient?]
[She's in her 50s.] Luca's heart sank when she saw Johann's reply.
Wanda's cancer cells had spread.
[Is this the medical examination report? Are there any other CT scans and color doppler for the otherparts of the body?] Johann sent another message to ask Luca. If the patient was in her 50s, was shenot Bianca's aunt?
Johann remembered Wanda was diagnosed with breast cancer last time. However, she preferred toreceive a conservative treatment. Thus, she found a naturopathic doctor who specialized in nursinghealth without getting any surgery.
After that, Wanda would come to the hospital for medical examinations every year.
There was no news from Luke telling him about Wanda's situation either. Why did things suddenly turnout this way?
Luca sent the rest of the medical report to Johann.
Johann carefully went over the medical report and sent a message to Luke: [Does the medical reportbelong to your wife's aunt?]
[Yes.] Luke replied to Johann's message. Although Luke had not seen the report, the doctor working atthe health care center had contacted him and told him that Wanda's health was in a pretty badcondition.
Perhaps she could no longer receive conservative treatment.
[Dr. Craw sent me the medical report. The conservative treatment isn't working anymore. The patient'scondition has taken a turn for the worse in such a short time. She needs to undergo surgery, and sheneeds to receive chemotherapy.] Johann replied to his message. Luke would always send Wanda'sand Old Man Rayne's medical reports to him for him to take a look at them.
Hence, Johann knew their health condition well.
[Can you be her surgeon?] Luke asked.
Johann stroked his chin. He was not an expert in this field. He could perform the surgery, but he wasafraid that he would not be able to do it well.novelbin
[I can't be her surgeon, but I heard my mentor in New York say that there'll be a few professors cominghere to give seminars in half a month. There might be someone who's an expert in this field. If there'ssomeone, you'll have to counsel her first and convince her to be admitted to the hospital. She needs tocooperate with us to do some physical examinations and receive treatment. She can take half a courseof chemotherapy first. We'll then see how the results are and decide if it's necessary for her tocontinue. The surgery will be arranged once the expert has arrived. If there's no expert in this field, I'lllook for someone else. Dr. Barlowe is one of the experts in this field. There are many cases ofsurgeries like this, and the survival rate of patients suffering from breast cancer for the past five yearsis more than 80 percent.] Johann replied to Luke.
Luke replied: [Okay. I'll leave it to you.]
Wanda's health condition could not be delayed any longer.
The doctor working at the health care center told him that fortunately, Wanda came for the medicalexamination in time. If Wanda only came for the medical examination once a year like in the past, itwould have been too late.
Johann had Luke's permission, so he replied to Luca: [I've read the medical report. The cancer hasn'tspread to the other organs at the moment, but I'd suggest the patient be admitted to the hospital to geta detailed health examination as soon as possible so that she can be treated in time.]
Luca's mind went blank when she saw Johann's reply. She had no idea how she replied to hismessage: [Okay. Thank you.]
Wanda's health was pretty bad, but Luca had no idea how she was supposed to tell her about this.
Luca recalled how hard Wanda had tried to keep her breasts many years ago. She was willing to drinkbowls of herbal medicine that tasted bitter to keep them.
Now, Luca had to tell her such cruel news. All the treatments she had received did not work, and shehad to undergo breast removal surgery. She did not know if Wanda could accept it.
Luca let out a sigh. She did not have the courage to tell Wanda about this.
She was down in the dumps as she stared at Wanda's medical report.
The phone she left on the table vibrated for a second. Luca picked up her phone and noticed that shehad received a message from Luke.
[I've read the medical report. Johann suggests she gets admitted to the hospital to do a check-up andreceive treatment. I'll tell her about it.]
There was a hint of sorrow in Luca's eyes. It sounded like a good idea for Luke to tell Wanda about it.
After all, Luca was in no position to comfort Wanda now. Then, she replied to his message: [Okay.]
Luke replied: [I'll talk to her in person. And I'll go home late tonight. Tell Aunt Neile not to prepare mydinner.]
[Okay.] Luca felt her reply sounded a little hopeless.
Luca had no idea what she should do when she found out Wanda was sick.
Nighttime.
After Luke was done with his work, he came to the Rayne family's house.
Wanda was surprised when the maid informed her that Luke was here. She recalled the medicalexamination she had done this morning, and she had a bad feeling about it.
Was there something wrong with the medical report that made Luke come here at this hour?
Wanda immediately headed downstairs.
“Luke, why are you here?" The anxiety in Wanda's heart grew when she saw that the man had comehere in a hurry.
She wondered if it was something wrong with her or Old Man Rayne's medical report.
"Aunt Wanda, where's Grandpa Rayne?" Luke glanced at the stairs.
"He's taking a rest upstairs. Is there something wrong with the medical report?" Wanda clasped herhands anxiously, waiting for Luke to tell her the bad news.
If there was nothing wrong with the medical report, Luke would not have to come here in person.
"Aunt Wanda, your medical report states that your breast cancer has worsened. You can't take herbalmedicine to treat it anymore. I've already contacted the doctor. Please get ready to be admitted to thehospital tomorrow." Luke did not hide it from her. Wanda was not someone easy to fool either, hence hejust decided to be honest.
That way, Wanda would be able to know her condition too, and she would stop taking herbal medicineto treat it.
"How can it be? Everything was fine the last time I went for a medical examination..." Wanda shook herhead in disbelief. The report stated that the herbal medicine had nursed her health well and got thesituation under control. How could it worsen in just a few months?
