The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 556

"Mr. Jenkins's left thigh muscles are severely damaged. I'm afraid there's little hope for this leg. We may have to amputate."

Even the doctors couldn't understand how Charles had managed to get out of bed in his condition.

The damage to his thigh was so extensive that saving the leg was nearly impossible.

"Do you even know what you're saying?"

Aiden hadn't expected things to be this serious. The moment he heard the news, his face went pale. "I don't care what it takes-you must save Mr. Jenkins's leg."

He couldn't bear to imagine Mr. Jenkins-always so proud, so untouchable— reduced to a man with a missing limb.

How could Mr. Jenkins ever accept that?

"We'll do everything we can," the doctor replied, but his voice held no confidence.

He'd already taken Charles's case to the conference room, bringing together top specialists from across the country via video call to discuss every possible treatment. This was their conclusion after exhausting all options.

Charles understood this, too.

The hospital wouldn't give such a prognosis lightly. If they said it, it meant they had already done everything within their power.

Charles lowered his gaze to his left leg, his eyes clouded with despair.

Amputation meant he would be disabled for the rest of his life.
