Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 496

The doctor furrowed his brow, giving a slight shake of his head.

"Ms. Selena, honestly, things aren't looking too good…"

Brook, hearing just those few words, felt faint, his eyes rolling back.

"Uncle, don’t worry…"

Selena pressed on his acupressure point to soothe him and applied some essential oil to his temples.

Brook couldn't hold back his tears.

He was in his early fifties, having raised two kids on his own, and barely had the chance to enjoy life. How could he just accept this fate?

"Selena, you have to save me, I don’t want to die…"

"I haven’t seen that brat get married and have kids, and you still haven’t found someone to take care of you. What will you do if I’m gone?"

"Why is my life so tough…"

He cried almost like a child.

Selena was worried but also at her wit's end. The fact that men never truly grow up was something she had fully experienced with her uncle.

She comforted him gently for a while, almost swearing to find a doctor to treat him, which finally calmed him down a bit.

Later, Selena went back to the doctor’s office to get a detailed understanding of his condition.

The doctor explained that with mid-stage stomach cancer, immediate surgery was necessary, with a survival rate of over fifty percent.

Post-surgery, with proper care and regular check-ups, as long as there are no signs of significant relapse, the outcome could be positive.

However, opting for conservative treatment without surgery would mean the condition could worsen, and cancer cells might spread to other parts of the body.

The sooner the surgery, the better the chances. Of course, every surgery has its risks, and the family needs to think it over carefully.

Leaving the doctor’s office, Selena didn’t head straight back to the ward. Instead, she stood in the hallway, gazing up at the sky, her expression weary.
