Chapter 717
Even After Death
Oliviaâs test results came out quickly, and it was indeed Stage Four cancer. The worst thing was that it
had already spread to her head. There was an early-stage malignant tumor in her head.
After a consultation gathering of various oncology experts, the consensus was similar to Keithâs opinion.
They also advised against treatment.
Ethanâs gaze was cold. âYou havenât even given it a shot. Why would you just give up?â
The head of the hospital wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, âMr. Miller, cancer is unlike any other
illness. If it had been discovered earlier, we could just remove it surgically.
âBut Mrs. Miller is already in the terminal stage. You saw how extensive the tumor was. It doesnât meet
the requirement for surgical removal. Weâve also discovered a tumor in her head, where thereâs a lot of
cranial nerves, so surgery is also ill-advised.â
The head of the hospital noticed Ethanâs expression growing colder. He quickly added, âThere is also the
option of conservative treatment. We can start Mrs. Miller on a round of chemotherapy. But⦠the side
effects are serious. If Mrs. Miller is frail, the chemotherapy would only work against her.
âThere are quite a lot of patients that donât die from the cancer, but instead, they die from the side effects
of chemotherapy.
âNormally, when a patient reaches the terminal stage, their mental and physical state would be terrible.
Chemotherapy would be torture to them. The effects arenât that positive either. We would usually advise
the family members to stop the treatment.â
Ethan clasped his hands together and propped his chin up. There was a gravity never before seen in his
eyes.
No matter what decision he made, it would put Olivia through a lot of pain. But he wasnât ready to just
watch as Olivia left him.
He remained silent for a few minutes. Then, he raised his head, with the decision already made.â
Schedule her for chemotherapy as soon as possible.â
It was an expected outcome. Anyone would try every way possible to stop their loved ones from dying.
For those patients who were sent to the ICU, their families knew the costs would be high. They also
knew the treatment wouldnât necessarily save the patient and might even cause them more suffering
before they passed. But the family members could never watch the patients die without at least trying
every option available.
Maybe a miracle could still happen.
Ethan stood up and said, âI donât care what methods you use. You have to stop the cancer cells from
spreading.â
He wouldnât give up as long as there was still a chance.
There was still Peaceâs Embrace and Toxic Hive. Ethan knew both had been trying to find cures for
incurable diseases.
There was still hope for Olivia. Even if it was just the slightest inkling of hope, he would try his best to
grab hold of it.
Chris was almost at the hospital.
Ethan quickly walked away, wanting to discuss how they should proceed with the situation with Chris.
Oliviaâs condition had been stable for two years. That would imply that her immune system had been
keeping the cancer cells under control, which meant it was the M1 drug that he injected her with that
caused her condition to worsen.
Would Olivia stand a chance if he reactivated her immune system?
Just as Ethan was leaving through the hospitalâs entrance, Keith quickly approached him and punched
him in the face without hesitation.
âHow could you be so heartless? When will you stop hurting her? Chemotherapy is like poison to her. Itâs
extremely harmful to her. Do you know how severe the side effects will be?
âWhy canât you just let her go in peace? Sheâs already in such a terrible state. Why do you insist on
torturing her?â he cried.
Ethan would have dodged the punch, but he chose to take it.
He looked at Keith with bloodshot eyes. âI want her to live. No matter the cost.â
