“You should rest on Saturdays. Why did you come all the way here? It's troublesome." Wanda smiled. She felt a little
embarrassed when she found out that Luca came to visit her.
"I heard you got admitted to the hospital to receive treatment. I'd like to see if there's anything I can help with,"
replied Luca.
Although naturopathy did not work for Wanda, the techniques Luca learned from Shanks might be useful.
"Thank you..." Wanda sincerely thanked Luca knowing that she would like to help. Wanda also realized she had not
thanked Luca for reminding her that she should head for a medical check-up. Hence, she said, "And thank you for
reminding me back then. Otherwise, it would've been too late when I went for a medical examination next time."
"Ms. Rayne, stop thinking too much. Listen to the doctor's advice and receive the treatment given to you. Let's talk
about the other stuff next time." Luca knew Wanda was feeling upset.
Wanda had spent her life living gracefully.
Even though she got divorced and returned home, she had never stopped living gracefully. Now, she had to
undergo the surgery. Her body would never be complete anymore.
Wanda refused to take the surgery back then due to this reason.
"I know." Wanda lowered her head and glanced at herself. Then, she immediately lifted her head and smiled
helplessly. "I thought of keeping them with me at that time. That's why I refused to undergo the surgery. I didn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexpect to lose them after a few years. They'll stay if they're meant to be. But I've reached the age where they're of
no use to me anymore."
Luca felt sorry for her when she saw the miserable look in Wanda's eyes.
"Ms. Rayne, let me help you nurse your health," suggested Luca. Luke had told her the treatment Johann was
planning to give Wanda.
The surgery would not be scheduled anytime soon. Thus, the main treatment would be chemotherapy.
Undergoing chemotherapy was painful. Luca wanted to help Wanda reduce the pain with her knowledge and
capabilities.
After all, it was the only thing she could do for Wanda.
"Huh?" Wanda did not understand what Luca meant.
"The doctor might give you chemotherapy sessions to control the lesion. It's difficult for a patient to undergo
chemotherapy. Let me help you to nurse your health. Naturopathy can help to reduce the side effects of
chemotherapy. You won't be in as much pain and you'll feel better," explained Luca.
Wanda saw many cancer patients suffering from side effects after undergoing chemotherapy. This was also another
reason why she was afraid of going for surgery.
A patient might not recover after undergoing the surgery. The doctor would arrange chemotherapy sessions for the
patient just to be on the safe side. Many patients suffered from shooting pains in the body.
This was also another reason why Wanda began to reject taking modern medicine.
“Luca, thank you." Wanda came forward and stared at Luca.
Luca's eyes looked similar to Bianca's. The moment they looked each other in the eyes, Wanda felt like she was
talking to Bianca.
"Ms. Rayne, it's nothing. You must get well soon," Luca said in a voice choked with sobs.
Luca wondered if it was because of the sickness that made Wanda look restless, but Wanda looked paler than two
days ago.
Wanda could hear the sobs in Luca's voice. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. She said, "I'll get well
soon. I still have to look after my father."
Luca almost burst into tears.
She thought she was able to control her emotions well after she was trained on the Island of Despair for three
years.
However, Luca could not help but get emotional when she was facing someone whom she was close with and at the
thought of losing her anytime because of her sickness.
"Ms. Rayne, it's time for you to head for another check-up," said another nurse who pushed the door open and
entered the ward.
Wanda wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes. Then, she asked with confusion, "Why is there a second check-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmup? Didn't I just go for one?"
"You went for a magnetic resonance imaging just now, and you're going for a blood test now. The indices for the
blood test in the hospital and healthcare center are different. That's why we need to draw your blood and undergo
the blood test again," explained the nurse.
"Okay." Wanda turned to look at Luca and said, "Please excuse me."
"Go ahead. I'm leaving too," replied Luca. She followed Wanda out of the ward.
The two of them came to the elevator. Rain was waiting for Luca where the elevators were. She nodded at Luca
when she saw her come out of the ward.
Luca gently nodded too. Then, she parted with Wanda at the elevator hall.
Luca did not leave the hospital. She went to look for Johann.
Luca walked into the elevator and pressed the button heading to the floor where Johann's office was.
She had already asked if Johann was seeing any patients this morning. Johann had postponed his surgery to the
afternoon as Wanda got admitted to the hospital.
"Ms. Craw, are we going to Dr. Park's office?" Rain asked.
"Yes. I'd like to find out more about Aunt... Ms. Rayne's condition," replied Luca in a depressed tone.
Rain did not know what to say, and she had no idea how to comfort Luca either.
The two of them came to Johann's office entrance.
