Chapter 700: The Third Little Red Riding Hood
Medical Center.
After Adam and Cristina gave Gilly a CT scan, Rachel found them as soon as they came out.
"Gilly has cancer?"
Rachel, the girl in red, covered her mouth, struggling to control her emotions.
"We'll have to wait a few hours for the biopsy results."
Adam put it tactfully.
"If she has cancer, you need to tell me beforehand."
Rachel, the girl in red, fought back tears. "Because if you tell me in front of her, I'll cry. And if I cry, she'll cry too. I don't want that."
"You should prepare yourself."
Adam reminded her, "With symptoms this obvious, I think Gilly already knew. At a time like this, crying together might not be a bad thing. It's better than bottling it all up."
Rachel, the girl in red, froze for a moment. She glanced at Adam, then nodded. "Maybe... No wonder Gilly had seemed a little different. Normally, even if you were a doctor, she wouldn't have let you examine her for something like this, much less kept insisting..."
At that point, she covered her mouth, turned away, lowered her head, and began to cry. "She must have known beforehand. She wanted to do something different, something meaningful. That's why she changed so much."
Adam and Cristina exchanged looks and fell silent.
If it had been ordinary cervical cancer that had not spread, they could simply remove the uterus and excise the tumor. With chemotherapy and other follow-up treatment, she could still live many more years.
But the examination results showed that the cancer had already spread.
The precise extent of the spread could only be determined through surgery.
Still, what the CT scans showed was already very serious.
"Does she have any family we need to contact?"
