After hearing what the doctor said, Amelia's parents not only lost hope but also fell into deeper despair. Amelia's
mother broke down on the spot as well. Her great sadness could be felt by anyone. Amelia's father embraced
her, not knowing how to console her.
He was in great despair too. No words of comfort could console her, much less himself.
I sighed and asked the doctor, "Is there any other treatment available other than a bone marrow transplant?"
The doctor shook his head. "With the current technology, leukemia can only be cured by a bone marrow
transplant. And even with a bone marrow transplant, there is no 100% guarantee of success. Leukemia is
generally genetic. The child's mother or father probably has a family history of leukemia."
"Our family doesn't have this genetic disease," Amelia's parents said in a choking voice.
That would be the problem on the father's side, then.
When Amelia's parents had quieted down, | spoke to the doctor to get a general idea of the situation.

you, Mrs. Grant, save the child. Amelia is gone now, and Sky is our only hope for survival. He's only five this year
and hasn't even had the chance to grow up. He's not ready to leave yet." "His life is so miserable. He didn't have
a father when he was born, and Amelia was so busy making money that she didn't have tto keep him
company. He's very lonely. Because we didn't have enough money, he still hasn't had the chance to go to
kindergarten. Look at how young he is. | hope you can take pity on him and save him. If you're willing to save
him, then | don't mind being your slave in my next life. He'll forever be indebted to you once he grows up."
| was a little overwhelmed by her sudden kneeling and tried to pull her up, but she would not budge.
There were people walking back and forth along the corridor. | felt awkward and bent down to look at her, saying,
"Please stand up first, Ma'am. We can always have a proper talk about things. You don't have to be this way.
Amelia has worked for Grant Corporation for a very long time. We'll do everything we can to help."
Amelia's mother was already crying so hard that she was gasping for air. However, she still insisted, "Our unfilial
son robbed us of all of our money, and our pension doesn't reach us every month. We depended on Amelia's
salary to survive, that's why we so shamelessly went to Grant Corporation to demand compensation. We'll die of
starvation if we don't do that."
| took pity on them, so | felt really bad too.
The child's leukemia was only making matters worse for the elderly. These misfortunes could deal a devastating
blow to anyone. Perhaps one might even find it hard to move on and choose to end one's life. After I paid all the
medical bills for the child, Theo calledand asked when | was going back.
After a long day, | was now exhausted and very much wanted to see him and hold him.
Theo went home. | left the hospital and drove has well.
Theo's car was parked in the courtyard. | eagerly got out of the car and ran into the villa.
Theo was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. When he sawrunning in, a smile broke out on
his face. " Miss me?"

"Why did you cback? Are things taken
care of at the company?" "You helpedtake care of things, so of course, | had to cback and give you a
treat."
I smiled. "So, do you want to go upstairs to get srest before eating or have something to eat first?"
"Eat first."
| raised my head and asked, "Any results on Amelia's case yet?"
Theo frowned. "Why?"
| thought about it and said, "Amelia's son has leukemia. His father is unknown and his mother is dead. Honestly,
having a bone marrow transplant is hard. | know death is a part of life and that I'm not obliged to help them, but
| have cin contact with Amelia several times. | can't live with my conscience if | simply ignore

things."
