Blackmailed For Love

Chapter 35: Honored and Kind

"Hello, Dr Ch'ing."

I said into my phone.

"Hello, Kristian."

Jia Li, the specialist I had contacted after learning about Elsa's mother greeted me on the other end.

"How are you?"

"I am doing alright.

I just wanted to know how things are coming along? Are they still there?"

1 "Oh, yes.

I had some tests run to get to know better about my patient."

I heard some papers shifting and she explained, "Mrs Huxley has passed well into stage II of Breast cancer, but it's not worse.

There are new procedures and treatments we have been working with.

Right now, there is multi-modality treatment consisting of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy.

We will diagnose which treatment would suit her the most and it will require time and patience on both our parts.

Sometimes she would have to remain in the facility to keep her under observation."

"How much time will it take?"

I asked.

"At least three months and then it depends on how the patient is reacting to the treatment so it could be six or seven months."

1 She paused and I got the impression that she wanted to say more.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Dr Ch'ing?"

"Actually, it was just that as you've told me that you'd be the benefactor of all the expenses for Mrs Huxley's treatment, so I just wanted to let you know that a lot of this could've not been necessary if she had been taking her medicines and having regular check-ins with her doctor.

The cancer has worsened because most of her medicines aren't effective anymore and from what she told me she hasn't been taking them like she should have."

I remained silent for a while, my fingers curling into fist.

It made me fucking angry to think that Elsa had been neglecting her mother's health, but I knew that she loved her mother so it begged the question what the fuck happened to the money she had gotten.

But I pushed that thought away as I asked another question that was inhabiting my mind since I googled about breast cancer.

1 "Is this hereditary? What is the percentage of her daughter being diagnosed with the same?"

I asked and held my breath, suddenly I felt uneasy to know what she had to say about it.

2 "Breast cancer is one of the inherited cancers, passed through genes, but I don't think Mrs Huxley's daughter would be at risk of the same as she was diagnosed four years back only."

She added, "But I would suggest to have the tests done, to put our minds at ease."

"Hmm…"

I murmured.

"Thankyou for your help and clearing your schedule for me."
