From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 411

Dr. Marshall visited Tanya every day, his spirits lifting as he saw her showing signs of improvement. He was counting the days to the tests a week later.

If those tests came back showing no signs of cancer in Tanya and the other two patients, it would mark the highlight of his career.

He dreamed of his hospital being the first in the world to cure cancer!

Not just Tanya, but her roommates, Emily and Sarah, also felt a surge of vitality returning to them.

This left the other patients, who hadn't undergone the treatment, anxious and green with envy. Could it be true? Were they really getting better?

"Hey, kiddo, you're really all better?" Callie, the woman in the next bed, couldn't help but ask.

Tanya nodded, "Yeah! Callie, I feel like I've got a new lease on life."

Callie bit her lip, looking a bit embarrassed, "Um, could you... maybe talk to your friend about getting me in for that surgery too?"

The woman on the other side piped up, "Me too, please!"

Tanya shook her head sadly, "I'm afraid that's not possible anymore. The treatment was only available for five people, and since you guys passed, it went to others."

Hearing this, both women's faces fell.

Regret washed over them.
