SIN (Lecturer Dear)

Chapter 104: Karen's Decision

Still consulting a doctor, Karen expressed her desire to take treatment without surgery, namely by undergoing HIFU techniques as recommended by Mami Vallen. Because, from what he read, this treatment technique has a complication rate of 1000 times lower when compared with surgery.

"Oh, that's indeed the latest option in the treatment of tumors and cancer.The technique uses ultrasonic waves to generate heat that will destroy tumor cells. Even so, not all types of uterine tumors can be treated with HIFU, let alone the types of tumors that have developed into cancer cells."

"What about my tumor, doc?"

"Of course it can be because this therapy is indeed recommended for patients who do not want to be operated on and also want to have offspring. Unfortunately, our hospital has not provided treatment services with this technique. But, if you choose HIFU treatment method, you should go to Mahkota Medical Center hospital in Malaysia or Farrel Park Hospital Singapore which already has this facility. Of course it costs a lot more" the doctor explained with a smile.

"No problem, doc. As long as I don't lose my uterus" Karen said with teary eyes.

"But, the weakness of this technique, allows the tumor to come back to life after five to six years. Therefore, it is important for patients to maintain a healthy diet and abstain from the consumption of ready-to-eat foods after recovery. Age is in God's hands, but the healthy choice is in our hands" the doctor replied.

Karen looked at Darren who was still unmoved by her side. The man let his wife decide what was best over her own body. After the doctor left their room, the two looked at each other.

"Why did you change your mind?" ask Darren.

"Because I want to give birth someday ...."

"Are you worried that Oma still wants you to have children? Or do you still not believe that I will not leave you?"

"No. This is my choice. Not that before I got sick, I also said I wanted to have a child finish college?"

Yes, Karen was indeed very afraid of the surgical procedure, but the reason that made her suddenly change her mind was the love support and strength of Darren himself. Amidst the many flaws in him, the man continued to flood him with affection. The more together, he realized he wanted to have the fruit of their love. Not because of a demand, but because he wanted it.

Darren sidestepped a pinch of Karen's hair behind her ear. His warm palm cupped his wife's tiny face while looking at her eyeballs.

"Whatever you decide, as long as it's good for yourself.

Apparently, HIFU treatment techniques are their option, which means Karen will be referred to one of the hospitals recommended by the doctor. Fortunately, this coincided with the semester break, so that after treatment he could take a long rest.

Nadya and Vera return to visit Karen after returning home from college. They're giving the transcripts of Karen's grades for this semester. Looking at the average value she achieved, it seemed that Karen was dissatisfied. Because, not all college eyes managed to get the A value as targeted.

"This is pretty good, Kar. Your grades have really improved from the previous semester," Nadya comforted him.

"Rubber, tuh! I'm just an average of B equals C," continued Vera showed transcip its own value.

"I'm not satisfied!"

"Are you pursuing grades or pursuing science?" cetus Darren while peeling the apple, "kalo studying only for the pursuit of grades, four years you spend in university will be in vain. I ask you to study hard not to be able to achieve the highest grades, but to hone your thinking skills. If we often practice the brain to think, then our mindset will develop and that will certainly affect our personality. Hasn't my wife lately become more wise and mature in making decisions? Your mindset change is greater than just the value you achieve" he said again, bribing slices of apples.

"That's why I will also often train my brain to think. But, how is it, huh? Because my brain is easy to blank, it's like to forget too, sir!" Vera asked for advice.

"You can start in a fun way. Like reading a book, the higher the quality of your reading, the better the effect on the brain. It could also be by writing, or playing games that encourage us to think" Darren replied.

"Ah, I think I have to find a cake pair Mr. Darren, deh, so I can change little by little Karen cake," whispered Vera to Nadya.

"Where's Chalvin going?" ask Oma Belle.

"Sir Chalvin's going to the hospital again, ma'am."

"To the hospital? Why?" asked Oma again with a puzzled frowning mimic,

Thinking Oma Belle may have forgotten, her secretary tries to remind her, "can't .. the wife of her cousin go to the hospital."

"You mean ... Chalvin again jengukin my daughter-in-law's granddaughter?" tanya Oma who of course suddenly gasped.

Right, Chalvin just arrived at the hospital. He feels bad and worries that Marsha's last night's words might affect Karen. When he was about to enter, he met Nadya and Vera who had just come out of Karen's room.

"Eh .. you ...." Chalvin pointed towards Nadya. "How are you? You're recovering, haven't you?" ask her with eyes that point to Nadya's stomach.

Asked like that while being with Vera, made Nadya immediately go in a hurry without saying a word.

"Nad, wait, Nad!" Vera soon caught up with him. "Eh, uh, that was Mr. Darren's cousin, right? How come he's a pretty familiar cake with you? So, what does that mean, you're recovering?" ask Vera curiously.

"I ... I also do not know what it means," said Nadya who was suddenly nervous. Yes, about the miscarriage at that time, it was only known by Karen, Darren and also Chalvin. She felt it was a disgrace and it was a shame that Vera knew she was pregnant.

Chalvin who was dumbfounded at the door of the nursery, then murmured, "Kok he immediately ngacir that? Did the cave say something wrong?"

Chalvin pinched his lips, then walked into the nursery. Again he found his cousin's wife.

"Where's darren?"

"Bust go. To register at a Malaysian hospital."

"Loh, so you want to get some medicine there?"

"It just so happens that there's a non-surgical therapeutic procedure there."

"Whatever it is .. May you recover quickly."

Karen nodded with eyes that pointed to the window. "When it's only been two days, but it's been very bored," he complained for a moment, "sorry, why am I so complaining gini ...." Karen smiled weakly.

"Defying is human. No need to be detained if you are just afraid to say not grateful. But most importantly, don't be too frequent and drawn out" Chalvin said with a smile. Just briefly. Before he finally turned around quickly because he realized something.

What's the matter? Why am I still pounding right again facing him?
