In the end, Tillie agreed.

Edmund began to take charge of Mr. Zander's treatment plan. However, the results he obtained from the doctor were far worse than he had expected.

Edmund did not make a decision right there and then. Instead, after hearing what the doctor said, he went out of the doctor's office.
