Chapter: 5779

Mike was lying in bed, his body already emaciated like a twig, and all his hair had fallen out. He looked extremely fragile at this moment.

James Smith's wife, Jane James, was sitting exhaustedly on a stool beside Mike's bed.

When she saw her husband come in, Jane was taken aback and asked, "James, how did you get here? Aren't you supposed to prepare for the homeless tomorrow afternoon?"

James Smith didn't answer her question but looked at the children in the bed and asked, "Is Mike asleep?"

Jane nodded slightly and said with a sigh, "He's vomiting more severely now. The doctor added some anti-nausea medication to his chemotherapy medicine, but it'll make him sleepier."

As she spoke, Jane's eyes reddened and she whispered, "The CT scan result from two days ago showed that Mike's cancer cells are still growing and spreading. This week's chemotherapy hasn't had much of an effect, and the doctor says that Mike's physical condition has started to deteriorate rapidly, like a runaway elevator falling from a great height. The chemotherapy medicine can only barely slow down his descent, but even then, it's only going to add a few months at most... maybe two and a half months, or even three months if we're lucky."

Jane covered her face and began to sob uncontrollably.

James Smith quickly rushed over to comfort her, whispering, "Don't cry. Maybe there's still another chance."

Jane shook her head, saying, "I don't want to be blind with hope again. I'm thinking about stopping Mike's chemotherapy treatment and taking him back to the US for the remaining few months. His grandparents, great-grandparents, and aunts and uncles are all waiting to see him. Going back to the US will at least allow him to spend his final stage of life with family."

James Smith said, "There's still one last chance. I don't know how big the chances are, but as long as there's a chance, it's always stronger than having no chance."

As he was saying that, James Smith told Jane, "Let the nurse come and remove Jimmy's IV pole. I'm going to take him out for a while!"

Jane asked in surprise, "Where are you taking him?"

James Smith thought about what Hu Lei had entrusted to him not to reveal anything to outsiders, so he said, "Don't ask too many questions, but I promise that no matter the result, I'll tell you first."

Jane was confused and couldn't understand why her husband suddenly wanted to take their son out.

Although their son was already bedridden, he still saw chemotherapy as his last lifeline.

Seeing her husband not waiting for their son's chemotherapy to finish before wanting to take the child away, Jane hastily intervened, saying, "You're crazy? No matter what, we have to wait until the child finishes chemotherapy before talking about it!"

James Smith waved his hand dismissively: "It can't be waited. I'm taking him out right now."

As he was saying that, he didn't even let Jane press the call button and took a step forward himself, removed Jimmy's IV pole, then picked up the sleeping child and walked outside.

Jane was shocked and furious, chasing after him outside the hospital, shouting behind her: "James! Put Jimmy down! He still has half a chemotherapy treatment left, you'll kill him!"

James Smith didn't say a word, his pace quickening by a few steps as he ran away from the hospital.

Jane hastily followed him out of the hospital, seeing James stopping at the door to hail a taxi. She stomped her foot in anger, tears streaming down her face, and asked: "James, what are you doing? You can't joke with your child's life like this!"

Just then, a taxi pulled up in front of James Smith, who was about to lift Jimmy into the car. Seeing his wife crying, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and whispering to her: "A friend called me, saying they've helped Jimmy get an experimental treatment spot at Nine Heavens. I can't confirm if it's true or not, but they told me not to spread the word, so I didn't say anything in the hospital."

Jane was stunned by this news and asked him: "Really?! James, everything you're saying is really true?! Jimmy really got an experimental treatment spot?!"

James Smith whispered to her: "Honey, everything is still uncertain, so don't get too excited or anxious. Just keep calm and prepare for your daughter's school run. If this works out, I'll let you know first and then we can celebrate together. If it doesn't work out, I'll bring Jimmy back for chemotherapy treatment and you take care of your daughter."

Jane nodded vigorously and said: "Okay! You go ahead with Jimmy, and I'll wait to hear from you!" JrNovels.com
