Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 553 Bianca Was Assailed By Many Thoughts

Wanda did not want Bianca to notice that something was wrong with her. She quickly pinched her nose to stop the

blood from flowing while she brought the spatula under the tap to wash away the bloodstains.

Her movements were natural and agile, as though she was used to it.

She thought that it was fortunate that the blood did not drip into the pan and that her back was facing Bianca at the

moment.

The scene at the hospital replayed in Wanda's mind.

"Mdm. Rayne, your immune system is getting weaker, and you need to be hospitalized for chemotherapy as soon

as possible. If you delay it, you'll only be causing more damage to your body, and the chances of you recovering will

be lower." "I don't want chemotherapy, Doctor. Are there any less intrusive methods of treatment? I don't mind

taking medication too, as long as I can maintain my basic bodily functions," Wanda asked.

She knew the side effects of chemotherapy. Other than nausea, vomiting, and lethargy, she would also have to lose

her head full of beautiful hair and become skeletally thin.

Wanda had been pursuing beauty all her life. She would rather die than see herself become like that.

"Mdm. Rayne, the most effective cancer treatment methods available in the country now are either surgery or

chemotherapy. Surgery is the default method, but it is only useful against early-stage cancer, and it would do little

to alleviate your late-stage cancer. A combination of surgery and chemotherapy would probably be your best bet,

but honestly, I cannot recommend any non-intrusive treatment methods for your current condition," the doctor told

Wanda.

"Doctor, is cancer hereditary? My brother died from cancer last year, and I have cancer too. Is it because it's

hereditary?" Wanda asked.

"It's hereditary in the sense that certain families would have a higher probability of getting cancer than others,

though there are other factors, such as poor living conditions. Generally, the inheritable types of cancers are breast

cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer among others. If someone has an immediate family member suffering from

those types of cancer, then the probability of getting the same type of cancer would be higher."

Wanda’s heart wrenched.

She and her brother were immediate family members, and both of them suffered from cancer. Was it hereditary,

or was it an unlucky coincidence?

If it was hereditary, what would happen to Bianca?

Bianca was her brother's daughter. Would her chances of getting cancer be higher too?

Wanda looked at her pregnant niece helping her out in the kitchen. She could not help but feel sad for her.

She looked at Bianca and said, "Bea, if you have the time, I'll go with you to the hospital for a full body checkup."

Bianca thought that her aunt was worried about the child in her womb. "I've been going to the hospital for regular

checkups, Aunt Wanda. The doctor says that the baby is healthy, and there's no problem with my health too. You

don't have to worry."

Wanda exhaled heavily and told her niece the reason why she wanted her to do a full-body checkup. "Bea, the last

time I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that the chances of you getting cancer are higher if you have an

immediate family member with cancer. Your father died of cancer, and I'm suffering from the same disease. You're

my brother's only daughter, and I'm afraid... that..."

She could not finish the sentence.

Bianca did not seem perturbed. "I don't think that'll happen, Aunt Wanda. I think that what happened to you and

Dad is only a coincidence. You don't have to worry about it. Moreover, I'm quite familiar with my health. The worst

that has happened to me is a fever or a cold.”

However, the usually gentle Wanda was insistent this time. "No, I'll bring you to the hospital someday. I can only be

relieved if the results say that you're fine. Now that my brother is gone, I don't know if I can last for long. If

something happens to me, you'll have to take care of your grandfather..."

It was the first time that Bianca had seen that weak side of her seemingly unassailable aunt. That made her realize

how serious her aunt's condition was.

She dropped the half-washed plate into the sink and hugged her aunt without drying her hands.

She knew that her aunt was sick. Her aunt had told her about it the first time they met.

However, her aunt had been keeping a positive outlook and had been taking the medication regularly, so why did

she suddenly...

Tears nearly fell from Bianca's eyes. "Aunt Wanda, Dad is already gone, and Grandpa has already experienced the

heart-rending agony of burying his own child... Would you want Grandpa to experience that again? Grandpa is old,

and you and he are my only two relatives left. The two of you are my spiritual support. I'll be taking my architect

certification test tomorrow, so I can't go to the checkup. We can go to the hospital this coming weekend, but you

also have to promise me that you'll try to live on, alright?"

Since young, Bianca had never received love from a mother or an adult female figure. Her aunt was the first one to

truly love her.

To Bianca, her aunt was like a mother. That was how important Wanda was to her.

Wanda saw the fear and anxiety in her niece's pleading gaze. Her lips trembled, but eventually, she said, "Alright."

At night.

Bianca did not go home. She stayed with her grandfather.

Wanda also stayed for the night. After knowing that Bianca would have an important test tomorrow, Wanda

reminded her that the baby in her womb was more important. If Bianca did not pass the test, she could try again

next year.

Bianca listened attentively, and the aunt and niece chatted for a longtime.

At about nine o'clock, Wanda left her niece's room.

Bianca took her phone. She noticed that she had several missed calls and an unread message.

She opened the message to read it. It was from Luke.

[Zander said that you're staying over at your grandfather's house. You must have a lot to chat with your aunt. I

shan't disturb you then. You should have enough rest for the test tomorrow. Don't worry, you can do it. I trust you.]

Bianca felt warmth in her heart as she read that message.

She lay on the bed quietly with her eyes closed. Her aunt's words kept replaying in her mind.

There was a chance that cancer was hereditary, and she was Kevin Rayne's daughter.

Would she suffer from cancer in the future?
