Chapter 10

Fia sniffed as she began to cry again and the tears rolled right into Jason’s handkerchief.

“Is my mom… She… Is she going to die?”

Jason looked at her in silence. He wanted to console her and tell a white lie, but as a doctor, he was not that good at lying.

He looked down and saw that the two clenched fists that she kept by her side were covered with bite marks.

“All humans will die. That is the law of nature. No one can escape from it.”

“Then… If she’s given proper treatment, she’ll still have a lot of time, right?”

Jason could feel pain in his heart. He let go of her shoulders as he didn’t dare to look her in the eyes.

“She’s not doing very well. She’ll have three months at most.”

Fia’s legs gave way as she crumbled under her own weight. She shook her head as she wept.

Jason continued. “She won’t survive chemotherapy… That would only make her suffer even more. My suggestion is to get her discharged and you can spend some time with her and let her enjoy more of the food she likes.

Fia shook her head and said, “Didn’t… Didn’t you say that there’s hope yesterday?”

Jason gulped. He didn’t want to say just how much of what happened earlier had hurt Echo.

He was worried that if he told her, the woman in front of him would not be able to take it.

“Is there… really no other way?” Fia suddenly grabbed Jason’s hand, the way she looked at him with those red eyes told him that she desired hope.

Perhaps it was those eyes. Perhaps it was the way she cried.

When Jason thought about this much later, he never understood it. He had seen plenty of beautiful and talented women, but he never knew why he had fallen for Fia.

After Conrad took care of Esme, he quickly rushed over and saw Fia holding another man’s arms.

She had hope written all over her face, like there was no one else in her eyes except him.
