Female Novel
Chapter 2566
“You should rest on Saturdays. Why did you come all the way here? It's troublesome." Wanda smiled.She felt a little embarrassed when she found out that Luca came to visit her.
"I heard you got admitted to the hospital to receive treatment. I'd like to see if there's anything I canhelp with," replied Luca.
Although naturopathy did not work for Wanda, the techniques Luca learned from Shanks might beuseful.
"Thank you..." Wanda sincerely thanked Luca knowing that she would like to help. Wanda also realizedshe had not thanked Luca for reminding her that she should head for a medical check-up. Hence, shesaid, "And thank you for reminding me back then. Otherwise, it would've been too late when I went fora medical examination next time."
"Ms. Rayne, stop thinking too much. Listen to the doctor's advice and receive the treatment given toyou. Let's talk about the other stuff next time." Luca knew Wanda was feeling upset.
Wanda had spent her life living gracefully.
Even though she got divorced and returned home, she had never stopped living gracefully. Now, shehad to undergo the surgery. Her body would never be complete anymore.
Wanda refused to take the surgery back then due to this reason.
"I know." Wanda lowered her head and glanced at herself. Then, she immediately lifted her head andsmiled helplessly. "I thought of keeping them with me at that time. That's why I refused to undergo thesurgery. I didn't expect to lose them after a few years. They'll stay if they're meant to be. But I'vereached the age where they're of no use to me anymore."
Luca felt sorry for her when she saw the miserable look in Wanda's eyes.
"Ms. Rayne, let me help you nurse your health," suggested Luca. Luke had told her the treatmentJohann was planning to give Wanda.
The surgery would not be scheduled anytime soon. Thus, the main treatment would be chemotherapy.
Undergoing chemotherapy was painful. Luca wanted to help Wanda reduce the pain with herknowledge and capabilities.
After all, it was the only thing she could do for Wanda.
"Huh?" Wanda did not understand what Luca meant.
"The doctor might give you chemotherapy sessions to control the lesion. It's difficult for a patient toundergo chemotherapy. Let me help you to nurse your health. Naturopathy can help to reduce the sideeffects of chemotherapy. You won't be in as much pain and you'll feel better," explained Luca.
Wanda saw many cancer patients suffering from side effects after undergoing chemotherapy. This wasalso another reason why she was afraid of going for surgery.
A patient might not recover after undergoing the surgery. The doctor would arrange chemotherapysessions for the patient just to be on the safe side. Many patients suffered from shooting pains in thebody.
This was also another reason why Wanda began to reject taking modern medicine.
“Luca, thank you." Wanda came forward and stared at Luca.
Luca's eyes looked similar to Bianca's. The moment they looked each other in the eyes, Wanda felt likeshe was talking to Bianca.
"Ms. Rayne, it's nothing. You must get well soon," Luca said in a voice choked with sobs.
Luca wondered if it was because of the sickness that made Wanda look restless, but Wanda lookedpaler than two days ago.
Wanda could hear the sobs in Luca's voice. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. She said,"I'll get well soon. I still have to look after my father."
Luca almost burst into tears.
She thought she was able to control her emotions well after she was trained on the Island of Despairfor three years.
However, Luca could not help but get emotional when she was facing someone whom she was closewith and at the thought of losing her anytime because of her sickness.
"Ms. Rayne, it's time for you to head for another check-up," said another nurse who pushed the dooropen and entered the ward.novelbin
Wanda wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes. Then, she asked with confusion, "Why is there asecond check-up? Didn't I just go for one?"
"You went for a magnetic resonance imaging just now, and you're going for a blood test now. Theindices for the blood test in the hospital and healthcare center are different. That's why we need todraw your blood and undergo the blood test again," explained the nurse.
"Okay." Wanda turned to look at Luca and said, "Please excuse me."
"Go ahead. I'm leaving too," replied Luca. She followed Wanda out of the ward.
The two of them came to the elevator. Rain was waiting for Luca where the elevators were. Shenodded at Luca when she saw her come out of the ward.
Luca gently nodded too. Then, she parted with Wanda at the elevator hall.
Luca did not leave the hospital. She went to look for Johann.
Luca walked into the elevator and pressed the button heading to the floor where Johann's office was.
She had already asked if Johann was seeing any patients this morning. Johann had postponed hissurgery to the afternoon as Wanda got admitted to the hospital.
"Ms. Craw, are we going to Dr. Park's office?" Rain asked.
"Yes. I'd like to find out more about Aunt... Ms. Rayne's condition," replied Luca in a depressed tone.
Rain did not know what to say, and she had no idea how to comfort Luca either.
The two of them came to Johann's office entrance.
Rain said, “Ms. Craw, go ahead. I'll stay here."
“Okay." Luca knocked at the office door.
"Come in," Johann's voice came from inside.
Luca pushed the door open and walked into Johann's office. "Dr. Park."
"Ms. Craw, you're here." Johann knew Luca would be coming. He was not surprised to see her here,and he looked for Wanda's examination result that had just come out for Luca.
"I came to see Ms. Rayne's examination report. Is it still processing?" Luca sat on the chair whereJohann's patients had always sat.
"I informed them earlier. The results of the MRI came out. Take a look at these." Johann opened theexamination results.
Luca looked at the images of the examination result, but she could not understand them.
Shanks was the surgeon. All Luca did was stand beside him and hand him the medical equipmentneeded for the surgery as well as provide some treatment to the patient. She never had to see anyblood.
Shanks told Luca that her knowledge was not enough for her to perform the surgery on others.
Hence, Luca could only understand written reports.
Johann noticed the puzzled look on Luca's face and explained the results to her considering that shemight not be able to understand the report. He moved the mouse, drew a circle, and said, "This is thebreast lesion. From what we can see now, there are signs of cancer cells spreading. Still, she'sfortunate enough that they haven't spread to the other organs in the body. It'll be best for her toundergo the surgery."
"Does that mean she'll be losing her breasts?" Luca asked.
“It seems like it now. But there's nothing else she can do to stay alive. If the patient is bothered by it,she may go for cosmetic surgery after she has recovered. Others won't be able to tell," said Johann.Doctors like him usually put saving one's life as their priority.
"Okay." Luca looked down and stared at the lesion, feeling helpless.
"I've already contacted an expert in New York. They'll be coming here in half a month. My professorknows the expert well, and they've agreed to spend two days observing the patient before performingthe surgery." Johann told Luca his treatment plans.
It was the treatment plan that Johann came up with after spending some time discussing it with thebreast surgeon.
