Chapter 407 - Laurie Wu (2/2)

”We also took some samples from your lymph nodes and ran a test on them. There is no sign that the cancer has spread to anywhere else in your body, but because you are still young, I suggest you undergo chemoradiation therapy just to be safe,” the doctor explained. She then went over Avaleigh's schedule for her chemoradiation therapy and listed the possible side-effects. ”Your immune system will be compromised and you will most likely lose your hair,” the doctor said. ”But everything will return to normal once you have finished the entire course of your treatment.”

Avaleigh nodded her head in understanding. She didn't want to lose her hair, but it was better than losing her life. There was still a lot that she wanted to do with Emerson; she couldn't leave this earth so quickly.

After the doctor left, Emerson held onto her hands lovingly and said, ”Are you sure you're OK with everything? If anything is making you uncomfortable or sad, make sure to tell me. I will be right here beside you.”

Avaleigh smiled, ”I'm a bit sad that I have to lose my hair, but as long as my bald head doesn't scare you away, then I can endure it.”

Emerson wrapped his arms around his fiancee and placed a kiss on her forehead. ”You can't get away from me that easily. In my eyes, you are already my wife and nothing will change that.”

He then smirked and ran out to grab a wheelchair, ”By the way, there's someone I would like you to meet.”

Avaleigh looked at her fiancee curiously. Not many people knew she was sick. Who was he taking her to meet?

Emerson helped her into the wheelchair and started pushing her down the corridors of the hospital. ”Is this person in the hospital too?” she asked curiously as Emerson pushed her into the elevator.

”You'll see very soon,” Emerson replied.

A moment later, the elevator arrived on the ground floor. Originally, Avaleigh thought he was pushing her out of the hospital to meet someone in the garden, but to her surprise, he turned the wheelchair and headed down another corridor.

Before long, they arrived in front of a window and Emerson pointed to a little baby inside. That was when Avaleigh realized they were inside the maternity ward.

”Say hello to your niece,” Emerson said softly beside her ear as she looked at the baby that he was pointing to.

Avaleigh turned her head and looked at him in surprise, ”My niece?!”

”Did Halia give birth?” she asked excitedly.

Emerson chuckled and nodded his head.

Avaleigh's eyes softened and she turned back to look at the little baby. On her bed, there was a label with her name. ”Laurie Wu,” Avaleigh read.

Emerson smiled, ”She's named after Jackson's mother, Laura...”
