Jenny couldn’t fathom why her husband had abruptly whisked their son away.

In the midst of his son’s dire condition, he still considered chemotherapy a final lifeline.

Observing her husband’s intentions to leave before their son’s chemotherapy was complete, she promptly halted him, exclaiming, “Are you out of your mind? No matter what, we must wait until the chemotherapy is done!”

James waved dismissively, “I can’t wait. I’m taking him out now.”

Without awaiting Jenny’s response, he moved forward, deftly removed his son’s IV, scooped up the slumbering child, and headed out.

Startled and enraged, Jenny pursued them, her reprimands trailing after her, “James! Put Jimmy down! He still needs half of the chemotherapy drugs. You’re risking his life like this!”

James remained silent, picking up his pace as he moved ahead, almost fleeing the hospital.

Jenny hastily followed him outside the hospital doors.

As she saw James stopping by a car at the curb, she stomped her feet in anger, her voice cracking with tears as she cried out, “James, what on earth are you doing? You can’t play with our son’s life like this, no matter what!”

At this juncture, a taxi pulled up in front of James Smith. Just as he was about to embark with his son cradled in his arms, his wife’s tearful visage met his gaze.

He hesitated for a moment, turned toward her, and whispered, “A friend called. They’ve secured Jimmy a clinical trial slot at Oracle. I’m not sure about the authenticity or success rate yet, but they warned against discussing it openly at the hospital.”

Jenny’s surprise was evident as she inquired, “Really?! James, are you serious? Can Jimmy really participate in a clinical trial?”

James confirmed softly, “Honey, everything’s uncertain. No need to get too excited or anxious. Stay calm and prepare to pick up our daughter from school. If this pans out, I’ll let you know as soon as possible. And then we’ll celebrate. If not, I’ll swiftly get Jimmy back for chemotherapy. Take care of our daughter and don’t worry.”
