She immediately wanted to agree to the doctor’s suggestion.
However, she suddenly recalled Charis’ malicious gaze and Star Entertainment’s beauty pills incident. After going through that
and having a pharmacist target her and Brandon, Janet became very touchy about unknown medications and avoided them
discreetly. Although the doctor before her was recommended by her mother, she still trusted Frank, a doctor who was Brandon’s
friend.
Because of that, Janet decided to consult with Frank first and inquire about the reliability of the customized medicine before
determining what to do.
After all, it was always better to be safe than sorry. "Although your proposal is tempting, I want to go back and discuss it with my
husband first,"
she said to the doctor. She looked at her daughter with a compassionate gaze and said, "If it proves unfeasible, we can choose
to forego the treatment.
Having a child isn’t a life necessity, and I don’t want you to endure so much." Janet bit her lip and fell silent. She understood
Johanna’s concerns and was apprehensive about the challenges ahead.
However, she cherished the hope of having a child with Brandon and wasn’t ready to abandon it due to the current
complications. She had witnessed the joy and strength in Laney’s demeanor after childbirth and the newfound maturity in Garrett
upon becoming a father.
More so, she had seen how a child had deepened their bond during conflicts. To her, a child wasn’t merely a manifestation of
love but also a bridge binding two lovers together. Therefore, despite the looming hardships, she was resolved to attempt it.
Observing the determination in Janet’s eyes, Johanna felt worried but was at a loss. She was both heartbroken for Janet and
compelled to respect her decision. After a moment’s hesitation, she conceded & said, "If you’ve made your decision, that’s okay.
I’ll always support you." Janet smiled, buoyed by her mother’s support, and said, "Thank you, Mom." Johanna returned a rueful
smile.
"We’re aging, and it’s no longer our place to make decisions for you." The doctor added with a smile, "Young people today
certainly have their own perspectives." He paused briefly and then shifted gears. "However, our hospital collaborates with a
specialist in this field.
If Miss White is determined to proceed with treatment and can endure the potential difficulties, we can invite the expert to devise
a personalized treatment for Miss White.
This will take into account her specific condition and overall health, using custom medication to significantly enhance treatment
outcomes." Both Johanna and Janet were encouraged by the doctor’s proposal.
Yet, given that it involved her daughter’s health, Johanna remained careful and inquired, "How proficient is the expert you’re
collaborating with? Have there been any previous patients who’ve taken this customized medication? What were their
outcomes? Are there any side effects?"
The doctor found himself taken aback by the flurry of questions.
He pulled up the expert’s details on his computer and addressed each query one by one, "As evident here, this expert is highly
esteemed in the field of infertility treatment.
There have been numerous affluent women in Barnes diagnosed with similar issues who have sought treatment from this expert,
and almost all have fully recovered and been blessed with children."
Johanna scanned the expert’s profile, adorned with numerous honors and awards, and felt somewhat reassured.
Yet, having never heard of this customized medication, she was still a touch hesitant.
"Why hasn’t this medication come to my attention before?"
she queried.
The doctor nodded understandingly and elaborated, "This medication is extremely costly, out of reach for most average
households.
It’s primarily marketed to the affluent demographic overseas and used by a scant few domestically.
The level of promotion for this medication is rather low, so __ it’s understandable that you haven’t come across it.
I suggested this option considering your family’s financial capacity."
The more Johanna heard, the more appealing the option seemed.
She turned towards Janet and asked, "What’s your perspective on this?"
