Chapter 622
Gale had a sore nose and felt like crying.
She blinked quickly and forced back the tears. “Joshua, you are still young, and the family does not need you to go
out to make money.”
“But I am confident that I can get first place. It’s a seven thousand dollar prize..It is enough for our family’s living
expenses for a year,” Joshua replied. The more sensible he was, the more Gale blamed herself.
It was because she was incapable that the child knew to help her share the pressure of life at such a young age.
Gale touched his head and said, “Joshua, Mommy will work hard and design to make money. The money is enough,
so you don’t need to worry. The family is not at the point where you need to show your face to make money.”
“It’s just a competition…”
“Okay, don’t touch the wound when you wash your face at night. I have to take Nicole to the hospital tomorrow. You
go to school by yourself, don’t run around, and don’t cause trouble, okay?” Gale said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoshua’s little head nodded. “Okay.”
The next day at the hospital, Nicole’s chin was sharp, and her small face was thinner, sallow and thin, nestled in
Gale’s arms.
Zoe handed over all the reports in her hand to the doctor.
The doctor lowered his head and carefully flipped through the pages, reading each page very carefully, frowning
from time to time.
The expression was dignified.
Gale worried and asked, “Doctor… how is my daughter? Does she have a common cold and cough, or… some other
illness?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll check again.” The doctor looked at the reports for five minutes and then looked at Nicole slowly.
After a while, the doctor sighed, with a bit of an unbearable expression on his face.” Nicole, right? She’s only three
and a half years old.”
“Yes. She just started kindergarten.”
“Are you her mother?”
Gale nodded. “Yes. Doctor, tell me what the cause is.”
The doctor looked at her and answered, “Leukemia. But if it is found early, there is still great hope for a cure.”
Gale watched the doctor’s mouth open and close but could not hear any sound from
The blood in her whole body seemed to have coagulated.
She could not face this fact.
How did Nicole get leukemia… why leukemia!
Nicole raised his head from her embrace and asked, “Mummy, is my blood weird? When the blood was drawn, I
took a peek, and the blood drawn by the nurse was red.”
Gale’s mind was in chaos. Looking at her daughter’s innocent and cute face, she had no idea how to answer.
It was Zoe who was the first to react.
“No, no, of course, Nicole’s blood is red. Our blood is all red.” Zoe picked Nicole up and said, “Let’s go. I will take
you outside.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoe was smart, and she knew not to let Nicole hear the rest.
Although children were young, they could still understand many things.
Gale’s arms were empty. She desperately wanted to grab something, but in the end, her hands could only hang
powerlessly on her legs.
She used to sit with her back straight, but now she slowly slouched.
Gale looked at the doctor helplessly. “Nicole has always been weak. It’s common for her to have a cold and a fever,
but every time it gets better. It’s the same this time. Why is it leukemia?”
“Yes. Did the report go wrong? Or did you take the report?”
“Let me see.” Gale reached for the report and looked. “I’ll make sure it’s the name of Nicole.”
On the list, it was clearly written ‘Nicole’.
She stared fixedly, feeling that her sky was about to collapse.
Gale would rather have this illness herself!
“Calm down first. By the looks of it, it can still be treated,” the doctor reassured her.
“Really? How to treat it? Can it be cured? Will it affect her future?”
“I can’t guarantee it. Moreover, it is recommended that you go to a hospital in the city and have a comprehensive
examination. The equipment there is better, and there are more experts that can provide you with more treatment
options.”
