Francis hesitated, "How's your health?"
"It's fine." Caroline shook her head, "This leg of mine won't heal overnight, but it won't killeither. With Gilbert
in this state, can you really bear to leave him alone?"
Francis didn't say much more, "Callif you need anything."
"1 will."
lliness strikes like a landslide.
Compared to the last few days, Gilbert's condition had worsened significantly, with a high fever persisting for two
consecutive days. It never dropped below 100.4°F. He was delirious most of the time, rarely lucid. Caroline sat in
her wheelchair, vigilantly by his bedside. Gilbert's face was flushed with fever, his lips cracked, and at times he
was drenched in sweat, his hair soaked. Caroline wiped his sweat with a towel and applied cold compresses,

That day, Sherilyn had the morning off from filming. She and Galen had arranged to visit the hospital. The main
purpose was for Galen to see Dr. Neil, who had ordered a series of tests for him.
"The tests don't show anything concerning." Dr. Neil reviewed the results and discussed Galen's condition with
him in detail. "Mr. Martin, you had surgery three months ago due to a car accident that injured your liver?"
"Yes," Galen nodded truthfully, "But since it was an external injury, there weren't any complications after the
surgery."
"Hmm." Dr. Neil nodded, "According to the report, you've recovered well. However..." He glanced at Sherilyn, "If
we're considering a bone marrow transplant, we'll need to wait another three months. The requirements for a
donor are quite stringent..." "Do we have to wait?" Galen was the first to question, "Can't it be sooner? Doctor,
I'm fine."
The doctor smiled, "It's not up to you to decide; we need a professional medical assessment." He continued to
explain. "Firstly, it's too soon after Mr. Martin's major surgery. The liver needs more tto recover, and rushing
into another surgery could significantly increase the risk of organ failure. Secondly, it's not as simple as just
deciding to have surgery. We need to start with a high-protein treatment and, ideally, Mr. Martin should engage
in sphysical therapy and mental health counseling to minimize the risks of surgery."
"But..." Galen still felt it was too slow.
"Stop with the 'buts'." Sherilyn frowned slightly, "Don't you understand what the doctor is saying?" After all,
three months, compared to an indefinite delay, was a much better outcome. She couldn't just ignore Galen's
health for Jenna's sake. "Dr. Neil, we'll follow your advice, you make the arrangements."
"Alright." Dr. Neil nodded, "I'll
prescribe smedication for you, remember to take it daily. I'll refer
you to a psychologist, make sure t
you keep those appointments." He handed over a booklet, "This is physical therapy guide, take it home

and follow the instructions."
"Okay." Galen accepted it solemnly. Dr. Neil then turned to Sherilyn, "I'll start scheduling the surgery, though we
have to wait for an available slot. As soon as the date is set, I'll let you know." Hearing this, Sherilyn nearly
choked up, tears almost escaping. "Thank you, Dr. Neil."
"You're welcome."
Leaving the consultation room, Galen headed to the pharmacy to pick up his medication. "Wait here for me, sis."
"Sure."
Sherilyn stood still when suddenly, the waiting area erupted into chaos amidst the already bustling crowd,
"Quick! Stop her! Don't let her get
away!" Sherilyn had no clue what
was happening when suddenly, a frantic woman crashed right into her arms!
