Chapter 25

Aveline glanced at Ryan, full of gratitude. Ryan nodded in response and turned to handle the paperwork

for her.

The nurse patiently explained to Aveline, “Miss Blackwood, for the next long period, you’ll be undergoing treatment. Chemotherapy drugs are administered through injections, and each time you need to have a needle inserted into your blood vessels. This puts stress on your veins as they endure the damage from chemotherapy drugs. In severe cases, there can be drug extravasation. Many chemotherapy drugs are corrosive. To prevent these troubles, we recommend that you first get a catheter implanted in your arm.”

“To ensure that the drugs can smoothly enter your veins and reach all the organs in your body, a route is left in advance. Its advantage is that it’s used for a longer time, and during the next chemotherapy session, you won’t have to find veins again, and there won’t be any needle slips. It’s convenient and safe, but the downside is that you shouldn’t lift heavy objects with this arm in the future.”

Aveline agreed with the nurse’s recommendation, and before starting chemotherapy, she underwent a minor surgical procedure to implant an infusion port in her arm.

Her body had developed antibodies to anesthesia, so she rejected the injection of anesthesia. As the knife cut through her fragile flesh, she merely furrowed her brow but made no sound.

The doctor asked, “Very few young ladies are as pain–tolerant as you.”

Aveline helplessly replied, “No one cares about me, so why show my pain to anyone?”

She recalled a year ago when she fell into the water, leading to premature labor. Even with anesthesia, she still felt the surgical knife cutting her abdomen clearly. On that day, she passed out from pain on the operating table and woke up in agony.

Yet, Alexander stayed outside Nora’s delivery room, and no matter how loudly she screamed, she couldn’t catch a glimpse of his face.

Since that moment, she learned to endure pain without making a sound.

On the day after chemotherapy, the various side effects appeared. Ryan handled her discharge procedures.

Aveline had to pause countless times on the short journey from the hospital ward to the underground parking lot. Even a slight movement made her feel dizzy and nauseous. Her body seemed completely drained of energy.
