Furthermore, the injections come with side effects.
If he receives an injection every time he experiences a relapse, it will only double the damage to his already fragile body.
â
Lucinda nodded as her eyes scanned Nathanâs health report.
The red-marked test data stood out prominently, catching her attention.
Taking a deep breath, she put aside her guilt and turned to Aldric.
âIs there no way to get rid of the virus? Even if we canât cure him completely at the moment, we should find a way to extend his Life.
â
Aldric shook his head.
Since Nathan was still unconscious, he decided to reveal the truth to Lucinda.
âI chose to be cautious when I spoke to him, fearing that he would feel disheartened.
But the truth isâ¦â
In the evening, in the laboratory ward.
Aldric said with a gentle tone, âTo be honest, the five months I mentioned to him is an optimistic estimate.
He can only hold on for another five months if he has a decent physical function.
The virus in his body is nearly beyond control despite our efforts to suppress it.
If he experiences a few more episodes of angina attacks, itâs estimated that he wonât survive beyond a month.
â
Lucindaâs jaw dropped in shock.
She tightly clenched her fists, crumpling the test report in her hand.
She tried to maintain a calm demeanor and then said, âFrom now on, Iâll make sure he takes better care of himself.
I refuse to believe that he only has a few months left.
I want him to live a long and fulfilling life.
â
Aldric was relieved to see the determination in her eyes.
âDonât worry, Miss Simmons.
Iâll do everything I can to save Nathan.
Iâll write down some instructions for you later.
They will guide you in urging him to avoid certain things, engage in proper exercise, maintain a nutritious diet, and take care of his mental well-being.
It should greatly aid in his recovery.
â
âOkay, thank you.
â
âYouâre welcome.
Iâm just doing my job.
â
Aldric took the test report from Lucinda and closed the door behind him.
Lucinda turned her gaze towards the man lying on the bed.
âYou woke up so quickly.
Did we disturb you?â
Nathan smiled and shook his head.
âI wasnât really asleep.
Hearing your voice brings me relief.
â
Lucinda gently and lovingly caressed his face.
