Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Just Two Short Years?
"Charlotte, don’t worry, there must still be a way,"
Vincent placed his hand on Charlotte Thompson’s shoulder.
Charlotte clenched her fist and pressed it against her chest. Vincent was among the top internal medicine physicians in the industry, and even he was saying this...
It seemed that the only feasible solution for Grace’s condition might indeed be this one.
"When should the heart transplant surgery be performed at the latest?" Charlotte gnashed her teeth.
Vincent pondered for a moment, furrowing his brows, "Right now Grace’s situation is still relatively optimistic, her body can hold out for some time, but ultimately it’s a heart disease. If conditions permit, it would be best to find a suitable heart source and perform the surgery within two years."
"Two years... only a mere two years?"
Charlotte gripped Vincent’s wrist that was laying on her shoulder.
Matching hearts weren’t so easy to come by.
After all, a heart is not like other organs.
"Charlotte, rest assured, I will definitely find other methods to treat Grace’s heart condition."
Other methods?
Charlotte’s lips were devoid of color, and she forced a smile that looked more painful than crying.
"Thank you, Vincent..."
Charlotte was well aware of how slim the chances were, but she still said the words.
"Don’t cry, if the children see you like this, they will be even more saddened," Vincent reached out, wiping away the tears at the corner of Charlotte’s eyes.
But Charlotte, in her sorrow, paid no mind to Vincent’s intimate gesture.
She nodded at Vincent, but the thought of Grace lying unconscious in the room drained all her energy.
"Charlotte, the children have just settled down their emotions; seeing you in this state would probably upset them too," Vincent whispered.
"I know."
Charlotte nodded, she understood that she must also keep a strong spirit for the sake of the children.
"Vincent, I want to ask you to also check Cyrus and Hank,"
Charlotte hesitated to continue, having given birth to triplets, and now with Grace’s illness, it was impossible not to worry about the health of the other two children.
"You can rest assured,"
Vincent quickly nodded, "Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have taken the children for check-ups."
Charlotte sighed, a heavy feeling in her chest that made it slightly difficult to breathe.
She hesitated, then finally decided to speak, "Vincent, there is another thing I need to ask of you."
"We’ve known each other for so long, just tell me directly," Vincent responded.
"I hope not to let the Thompson family know about Grace’s situation for now," Charlotte bit her teeth hard.
Charlotte knew very well the extent to which the Thompson family doted on their three children, and with grandfather’s increasing age and minor health issues in recent years, hearing about Grace’s illness now would certainly cause a lot of worry.
However, upon hearing her plea, Vincent shook his head without hesitation.
"Grace, how can we not let the Thompson family know about this? I understand your concerns, but right now, the most important thing is to find a suitable heart source for Grace."
Charlotte pursed her lips, remaining silent.
"And do you think the Thompson family will never find out? If you choose to hide it, your relatives will also be hurt,"
With these words from Vincent, Charlotte raised her hand and rubbed her swollen temples.
"Sorry, my thoughts are a bit jumbled right now."
