Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 708 Her Chance

As Amelia Hutton was still overwhelmed by jealousy and envy, Eleanor’s sickness recurred again. When she felt pain in her head, she would slam her head against the wall. All the doctors could do was give her injections to soothe the pain. However, those injections could only do so much. Once the pain struck again, she would grab and pull handfuls of hair off of her head.

Amelia Winters and the rest were heartbroken when they saw that. She then held James’ hand, gulped, and asked anxiously, “James, answer me honestly. What’s the success rate for my mom’s surgery?”

“It depends.” James looked grim. “If we are dealing with an early stage malignant brain tumor and it’s small, we can have it removed as long as the tumor’s position is favorable. Even if it isn’t, we can proceed with treatment and remove it once it decreases in size. However, Mrs. Hutton’s cancer is already in the middle stage. For cancer patients with malignant brain tumors in the middle and late stages, the surgical resection it’s almost impossible. With that being said, Mrs. Hutton’s determination is applaudable, and she cooperates well with our treatment plans. I’ll try my best to think of a nonaggressive surgery for Mrs. Hutton. If it’s truly impossible for her to have an operation, I would suggest that we proceed conservatively. In the meantime, it’s best if her diet includes vegetables such as celery and mushrooms. These foods are beneficial for intracranial blood vessels, and they can lessen the side effects of chemotherapy. Also, I think it’s better to transfer Mrs. Hutton to Tayhaven because my hospital is there. I can’t stay in Saspiuburg and attend to her at all times.”

After giving it some thought, Amelia answered, “I’ll discuss it with the Hutton family. If they agree to it, I’ll transfer my mom to Tayhaven as soon as possible.”

“Make it quick, okay? Time is of the essence. If her condition gets worse, she won’t be strong enough to travel far,” James urged.

Amelia nodded and asked, “James, have you gotten a reply from your mentor?”

“I couldn’t get through to him. At this time of the year, he’s deep inside the forest to find the herbs he needs. He doesn’t get much reception there, so we can rarely get to him. If he needs something, he’ll call us. Otherwise, I think we’ll only be able to contact him three months later.”

James’ words had shattered Amelia’s hopes.

She looked dejected.

Right then, Oscar put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already contacted the top neurosurgeons from abroad, and they should be here soon.”

Amelia merely leaned on his shoulder and kept mum. What did I do to deserve this? Ever since I was involved in the car accident when I was pregnant with Tony, it seems that I’m drawn to the hospitals for some inexplicable reason. Everyone around me has fallen sick with minor and major illnesses. At this point, I feel like there’s a better chance of someone I know getting admitted to the hospital than me winning the lottery. Wait. Do I have to spend the rest of my life in a hospital?

Evidently, she was utterly devastated.
