When Britney found her doctor Kellan Voss, he had just gotten Lila’s
scans.
When I found out she was the patient’s daughter, I immediately went over the test results with her.
“See this shadow? The tumor was right here.” Kellan pointed at a shadow on the scan and said, “The location was really bad, the surgery was very difficult and also very risky.”
Britney’s heart sank. She had a really bad feeling.
“It wasn’t clear yet whether the tumor was benign or malignant. We had to wait for the biopsy results tomorrow to know for sure. That was the situation for now, and the family had to be mentally prepared.”
Kellan kept it short and told Britney what was going on.
“Dr. Voss, if, I mean if, if it was malignant, what would we do?” Britney was already at a loss.
No matter how strong and calm someone was, they still seemed small and helpless in the face of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Kellan frowned. “Not to mention whether the tumor was malignant or benign, even if it was benign, it was hard to remove in that spot. Plus, the patient had underlying conditions. With our hospital’s current medical level, maybe../
He adjusted his glasses and looked really apologetic.
Britney felt like there was a huge rock pressing on her chest, making it

hard for her to breathe.
She asked urgently, “What about other hospitals?”
Kellan, “Don’t worry yet. If it was before, I’d definitely suggest
transferring to the top cancer hospital in the country for treatment. But right now there’s another option, though it might be a bit troublesome.”
“I’m not afraid of trouble!”
As long as it could save her mom, she would do anything!
“Tomorrow, an overseas expert team was coming to our hospital for a round, and there were quite a few top experts in this field among them. If you could become their project, the surgery probably wouldn’t be a problem,” Kellan said honestly.
These words gave Britney new hope, “So how can I become their example?”
“This just depended on luck, you know, with top medical resources like this, a lot of people were really eager for it, so the competition was pretty intense.”
Britney knew he was telling the truth.
She was really grateful to Kellan for telling her this. To get this chance for her mom, she had to be fully prepared.
Britney just left, and a coworker from the same department came to see Kellan.
I saw the film hanging up there and said, “What a coincidence, both patients had tumors growing in this spot, one after another.”
Kellan also said, “Yeah, it’s my first time seeing this too, but Elowen’s situation was a lot better than Lila’s. At least her tumor was benign and

she didn’t have any underlying conditions, so the surgery had a higher
success rate!”
A colleague held up two scans and compared them, joking, “If it were me, I’d definitely pick the easier case, ‘cause the success rate’s higher. Teams like theirs, these expert groups doing rounds, just want to rack up good results to make their resumes look better.”
Even though it sounded harsh, that was just reality, and Kellan couldn’t argue.
The colleague put Lila’s film back on the table, patted Kellan on the shoulder, and said, “You should make your choice too.”
In the ward.
Theodore was feeding Elowen Tate ginseng soup.
Because she was sick, Elowen didn’t look too well and didn’t have much of an appetite.
Theodore kept patiently coaxing her to drink a bowl.
