Chapter 1359 Will The Treatment Inflict Much...
"Is there a cure?" Johanna asked with urgency. "Just tell me, no matter the cost, as long as it can heal my daughter.”
The doctor heaved another heavy sigh. "The probability of successfully treating this condition is relatively low, and it necessitates a lengthy course of treatment. You should brace yourselves for this.” Upon hearing the doctor's words, a buzzing filled Janet's ears and her mind went blank. For a moment, she felt as though she had lost her ability to hear.
A congenital abnormality in uterine development? Complicating her ability to conceive? Why did these words, individually familiar, sound so foreign when strung together? So ridiculous? Why had this happened to her?
Clutching tightly to the test report that felt akin to a death sentence, Janet's face held a vacant expression. It was as though all her energy had been sucked away, leaving her to lean heavily on the armrest of her chair to prevent herself from collapsing.

Janet perceived the intent behind her mother’s words, gripping Johanna's hand in response, deeply touched by her reassuring words.

A slight frown creased Johanna's forehead. She was about to voice her concerns further, but Janet gently squeezed her hand and shook her head, signaling her to refrain.
