Chapter 397
Isn't death just part of life? Everyone's got their time.
Nothing to be scared of.
Hank, who had been holding back his tears, finally let them flow freely, turning his head away to wipe his face.
"Tanya! Honey! Mom is begging you! I'm on my knees, please?" Karan knelt down in front of Tanya, "Will you go to the hospital, please? Let's listen to the doctors, let's give treatment a chance!"
"Mom!" Tanya sobbed, kneeling down too.
"If your mom kneeling down isn't enough for you, then your dad is kneeling too! Kiddo! You're so young, your life's just beginning, you can't give up now! As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we can't let it go!"
At this critical moment, Gage couldn't care less about appearances, kneeling down as well.
As parents, they couldn't just watch their daughter head towards death.
Cure or no cure.
Even knowing the eventual outcome, they couldn't let Tanya give up.
They just couldn't!
"Dad! Please, don't do this. I'm begging you, stand up! We all know this illness is incurable, so why waste time, why waste money? In the end, if I'm gone, and the money's gone, what's the point?"
Hank, pulling Jane to kneel with him, said, "Tanya, your mom and I are old, can you bear to see us like this? Your brother and sister-in-law are begging you too, please, give treatment a chance!"
The whole family, kneeling together.
Tears pooled in Tanya's eyes, her heart heavy with sorrow.
Why did this illness choose her?
If she died, so be it.
But now, her family was dragged into this sadness too.
"I promise! I promise you all! Dad, Mom, big brother, sister-in-law, please stand up!"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Really?" Karan cried with joy.
Tanya nodded.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Karan, wiping away tears of joy, helped Tanya up, "Don't worry, Tanya, we'll beat this thing! We just have to!"
"You're right, Mom! Little sis, you're going to get through this."
Finally agreeing to seek hospital treatment brought immense relief to everyone.
Karan busied herself packing clothes.
Tanya's condition surely meant a hospital stay.
Once packed, the family headed to Cloudcrest's finest hospital.
After a series of tests, Karan and Jane stayed by Tanya's side.
Gage and Hank talked with the doctor inside.
“Doctor, is there any hope for my daughter?"
The doctor, looking over the test results with a grave expression, said, "The patient's cancer has spread, and there's a serious infection in the lungs..." Hank quickly asked, "Can surgery still be an option?"
"Let's proceed with hospitalization and start radiation therapy. Prepare yourselves mentally, though. The lungs are critical for breathing, and lung cancer has a high mortality rate from what we're seeing, she might have three months at most." Content belongs to

Radiation therapy was more about seeking comfort than cure.
They couldn't just do nothing, watching a loved one die.
That's why many, despite the grim prognosis of cancer, still drain their resources seeking treatment.
Hearing the doctor's verdict, Gage and Hank broke down crying.
Gage, grasping the doctor's hand and kneeling, pleaded, "Doctor, I'm begging you save my daughter! She's only neen, just started
college! Her life's just beginning
What if.. what if you take my lungs and give them to her? I'm fifty-five; it's okay if I'm gone, but she can't die! Please, I'm begging you, save her! Whatever you ask, I'll do it!" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Gage had once dreamed of winning the lottery.
Maybe hitting a jackpot of fifty million.
But now, all he wished for was his daughter's health.
He'd pay any price for her well-being.
Only now did he realize, the greatest wealth in life is health.
The doctor quickly helped Gage up, "Please, stand up. Our duty as doctors is to heal, rest assured, we'll do everything we can! But you know, modern medicine hasn't yet found a cure for cancer. Once it's diagnosed, we do our best, and the rest is in fate's hands." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Do your best, and leave the rest to fate.
As a doctor, he didn't want to see such a young girl taken by cancer.
But there was only so much he could do.
Not just in Luxphinia, but even in the medically advanced Country Pellonia, curing cancer was still beyond reach.
Gage stood up, his face etched with sorrow.
