Chapter 76 Investigating Chloe's Whereabouts

Anna let out a sharp scream. She had been there through everything and should have a better understanding of my situation.

When Luke spoke, she felt involved, her emotions spilling out uncontrollably.

My mother, though equally frightened, gently patted Anna's shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Anna. Everything will be okay." Anna, strong-willed and composed, soon regained her calm.

"Luke, you've already seen the photos, right? Esmee is just someone struggling with mental illness."

Luke shook his head, "That's not true. When I visited her, she was fully aware. If you don't believe me, ask her yourself when she's better."

Anna's voice softened. "Okay, we believe you. But Esmee is in the ICU now, and we can't see her. Let's wait until she's stable. But what about you? Are you aware of the problems with your health?"

At the mention of his health, Luke's attention immediately snapped to her. "What's wrong with me?" Anna was always sharp, focusing on the important points. She knew Luke was always self-centered. "This is the report the doctor gave you after your emergency room visit. There are a few areas that need further testing, like your kidneys and stomach. The doctor thinks the shadow on your scan could be a tumor."

The word 'tumor' immediately created a sense of dread. It only took one word to change everything-the difference between malignant and benign meant so much more than just a word.

When Luke saw the results, his focus shifted instantly.

"Tumor..."

He placed a hand on his aching stomach, which had been troubling him often lately. The pain made him feel uneasy.

"Set up an appointment for me to get checked," he ordered.

"Don't worry. I've already taken care of it," Anna replied "The colonoscopy can be done as soon as tomorrow, and we'll do the kidney test later."

Luke frowned. "But what about Esmee?"
