“Yep. A tumor grew in Jacqueline's head when she was in a vegetative state. Due to its location, No doctor dared to remove it completely. The portion of the tumor that was left behind kept growing, so multiple surgeries had to be done to keep it in check,” Shane said, sighing.

“Ah, I see.” Comprehension dawned on Natalie, and she nodded. “Then, has the tumor in Ms. Graham's head been completely removed by Stanley?”
