Chapter 31
Feeling exhilarated, Alicia stood up from the chair and burst into tears. "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter how much money it costs! Doctor Lewis, please help my father!"
Her father loved her the most since she was a child. He had always been a powerful existence. It was all because she had pissed her father off that he became like this. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.
"Miss Blanchard, don't be excited first!" Doctor Lewis said.
Doctor Lewis couldn't bear to see such a beautiful girl suffering sorrow and passed her a few pieces of tissue.
"I will try my best! But, this is a long process. I suggest that you take a conservative treatment first. He can take a pure medicine treatment and undergo physiotherapy. If the effect is good, you should try not to go for surgery. After all, the risk of brain surgery is greater. As for your father's condition, I don't recommend surgery unless there is no other way. In this case, I will have to prescribe the imported medicine for him and add on with an injection at least once a week. If it is calculated on a monthly basis, the cost will increase by at least 50,000 dollars. Besides, it takes two to three months to achieve a preliminary effect. Of course, you can also choose to go for surgery. The cost of surgery ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 dollars. The injection is not needed in the earlier stage and you can save 20,000 dollars every month. All these do not include laboratory fees."
Then, Doctor Lewis took out a document from the drawer and handed it over.
"Of course, this is just an approximate calculation. I've roughly summarized and compared some of the situations. Both methods are feasible. Compared with the medical treatment, the cost for surgery may be lower, but postoperative care will cost a lot. You still have to decide which method you are going for! Miss Blanchard, once he has started the treatment, he should better not stop halfway. Otherwise, the treatment can't achieve the effect and the cost is not a small amount!"
Calculating it in her head, Alicia somewhat had a rough idea. Once the treatment started, she had to prepare at least 100,000 dollars a month! Although there was a lot of pressure, money was nothing compared with life.
"Doctor Lewis, well go for the medical treatment then! My father is still young, and I trust you more! I will prepare the money. However, can you help me keep it a secret? Don't tell my mother about the addon medication..." Alicia pleaded.
"Miss Blanchard?" Looking at her, Doctor Lewis was a little anxious for her. "Wouldn't you discuss this with your family? This is not a small amount. If there is someone to share the expenses with, your life will be easier!"
Most families probably wouldn't be able to afford such a huge amount of medical expenses, not to mention her conditions.
"There's no need! It's just adding medication. It’s not a surgery. There's no risk. I don't want my mother to worry about it anymore. I can solve it! Please!" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Alicia looked sincere with her fists tightly clenched. Her mother used to live a comfortable life, but she had aged too much in the past three years. She didn't want to increase the burden on her mother anymore. This was the only thing she could do.
Finally, Doctor Lewis nodded. "Okay!".
"Thank you!"
She smiled and squinted. There were still some tears on her eyelashes. Under the sun, she looked as charming as the pear blossoms on branches in the spring. In an instant, Doctor Lewis's smile, as well as the time, seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Although it was great pressure, it was also good news for Alicia! When she returned to the ward, her footsteps were light, and the corners of her mouth were raised.
"I've done what you've asked me to do!"
When Alicia was about to push the door open, she heard a voice from the ward suddenly. In an instant, she came to her senses and withdrew her hand.
