Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 274

"Alright, then I'll go and let her know

With those words, Keith exited the examination room. A wicked idea crept into his mind as he closed the door behind him.

If Alex indeed had leukemia, and if only he could be a bone marrow match...

Would Valeria's affections shift toward him?

He was well aware of the vileness and cruelty of such thoughts, but if he continued to wait in uncertainty, Valeria might eventually reconcile with Hackett, leaving him entirely hopeless

In the waiting area, Valeria cradled her peacefully sleeping Alex, her face adorned with a smile that emanated from a mother's heart.

At that precise moment, Keith approached her.

She couldn't help but raise her gaze and inquire, "So, what did the doctor say about the test results? Everything okay?"

Although she was convinced that everything should be fine, her anxiety still got the best of her..

Keith furrowed his brow and fell silent momentarily before responding, "There's nothing major to worry about, but..." Upon hearing this, Valeria breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart leaped when she listened to the word "but." "But what Tell mel What's the matter? Valeria felt like her heart was in her throat.

Keith hesitated intentionally and then said, "My friend mentioned that there don't appear to be any significant issues at the moment, but experiencing a nosebleed isn't a positive sign. We should take it seriously and conduct another blood test to confirm if there's any underlying condition like leukemia. Don't worry. It's just a precautionary measure to ease our

concerns.

However, after hearing this, Valeria couldn't find any solace whatsoever.

Her heart sank like a stone into an unfathomable abyss, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Leukemia... How can it be this serious...

"Don't jump to conclusions," he urged, "It's not as dire as it sounds. My friend suggested we do more tests for peace of mind." Valeria struggled to regain her composure, attempting to quell the surge of emotions within her. "Let's not dwell on it. We should proceed with the tests, whether there's a problem or not It's the only way to find some peace."

But the thought of taking Alex for another round of blood tests tore at her heart.
