Chapter 322 Bone Marrow Matching of Immediate Family Members

The bigger the city, the better the medical care.

"I can only give you the results. For treatment, you need to go to a bigger city, or straight to LA," the doctor advised, "LA is a major port city, very advanced in all aspects. Maybe the doctors there can fully cure it."

Penelope never thought she'd hear "LA" again while trying to treat Lucy's leukemia! "Okay," she nodded. "Thank you."

As she stood up, Penelope's vision blurred, causing her to sway unsteadily and nearly lose balance..

She grabbed the table, trying to steady herself. "How much would the treatment cost, roughly?"

The doctor replied, "Conservatively, around seven to eight hundred thousand dollars." Seven to eight hundred thousand dollars!

Where would Penelope get that kind of money?

The house in the neighborhood was bought by Brandon.

She had nothing when she left by jumping into the sea and came here. Everything she had now was earned bit by bit.

Did she have to go to Brandon again?

She really owed Brandon too much; but for Lucy, Penelope would do anything!

"And money is just one part," the doctor added. "Leukemia requires a bone marrow match. Only after a successful match can a transplant be done. Having a matching bone marrow is the hope for a cure. If you have money but no bone marrow, it won't be of much use."

Penelope quickly asked, "Will the hospital help us find a bone marrow match?"

"We will help, but generally speaking, the probability of a match with a stranger is very low."

"So the probability of a successful match is highest with direct relatives, right?"

The doctor nodded.

This was undoubtedly another blow to Penelope!

Lucy's direct relatives were her and Kelvin!

If her bone marrow didn't match Lucy's, she would have to find Kelvin!

Seeing her pale face, the doctor adjusted his glasses. "Of course, it's not necessary to have a direct relative, just a higher success rate. And some people, even if they match, are unwilling to donate."

Penelope closed her eyes.

After a few seconds, she reopened them and exhaled. "Okay, I got it. Thank you." "You're welcome."

Penelope didn't even know how she walked out of the hospital.
