"As for Alzheimer's disease, the doctor just said there's a potential risk, but it's not confirmed.

"Don't worry, Nick has been facing some challenges at work recently, and you know he always tends to avoid problems. As his wife, it's my responsibility to handle some of these practical matters so the family's well-being isn't affected.

"He keeps running from the company issues. If I don't step in, are we really just supposed to sit back and watch our family fall apart?" Wendy's words left Brenda stunned. She hadn't expected her to respond this way.
