It probably won’t happen.
Who would like a sick person?
He doesn’t even have a healthy body now, so what right does he have to think about things he shouldn’t be thinking about?
"Joanna, can my illness really be cured?" Jeremy’s dark eyes showed no brightness and were full of self-doubt. "When I was in junior high school, I had a classmate who had the same disease as me. He had surgery and went through many treatments. But...he still died."
Jeremy looked up, his clear black eyes covered with a layer of mist, his young voice choked with emotion, "Will I also... But...I don’t want to leave you."
"Jeremy, don’t talk nonsense." Joanna frowned, hugged the thin body of the young boy, gently stroked his finely cut short hair, and her voice was also choked with emotion, "Heart disease can be cured. You certainly won’t end up like your classmate."
"Your brother-in-law is an expert in the field, very impressive. He says that as long as you have surgery, your illness will be cured. After that, you’ll be just like a normal person. You have to believe in him, okay?"
"Not all heart diseases are untreatable. Our disease can be cured. We just need to cooperate well with the doctor’s treatment, and we’ll definitely get better. In a while, I’ll ask your brother-in-law when you can have surgery. We’ll get the surgery done as soon as possible."
Joanna wasn’t very confident about what she said.
Heart disease can indeed be cured, but indeed...
In Jeremy’s case, the chances of recovery or failure are 50/50.
But Joanna couldn’t say that.
If she doesn’t show confidence, what will Jeremy do?
"Jeremy, believe in your sister and your brother-in-law. You must also have confidence in yourself, and don’t think about nonsense things, okay?"
She comforted him for a while, and Jeremy gradually calmed down.
He felt embarrassed and pushed Joanna away, his face flushed, "Sis, I’m sorry, I’m worrying you again."
Joanna pinched his handsome and fair face as she did when he was a child, "Since you know, you’re not allowed to think about it anymore."
After a few seconds, he asked curiously, "Is Ashton a doctor? I thought he runs a company."
"He used to be a doctor." Joanna didn’t know much about this, she learned it from Denver Lancaster, "He hasn’t practiced medicine for a few years and now runs his own business. But the dean said that Ashton is very good. As long as he does the surgery for you, the success rate will be 100%."
"So, you just have to wait for your surgery with peace of mind, and don’t think about anything else, got it?"
"Mm." After listening to her, Jeremy felt more confident and not as pessimistic as before.
"Are you okay now?" Thinking that Ashton was still waiting for them, Joanna said, "Your brother-in-law wants to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, and we’re going out to dinner tonight. Do you want to go?"
Jeremy had been in his room for the entire afternoon, and he had figured out many things.
Although he still felt a little sad inside, it was not enough to immerse him in sadness all the time.
He nodded and said, "Yeah, I’m fine now. Since Ashton is inviting me to dinner, of course, I’ll go."
A smile spread across Joanna’s face, she pinched his other cheek, and said cheerfully, "Think about what you want to eat. I’ll go change my clothes, and then we’ll head out."
