    In response, Selena nodded. “There is something else that you should note. Even if you choose to let


    your daughter undergo the regr treatment, her immediate family members should also do a test to


    see if there is a match, so that we can operate on her as soon as possible in case she needs a bone


    marrow transnt.”


    Once again, she nodded. “There’s also another treatment called a cord blood transnt, so I wonder if


    you have ns to conceive again. Many families that weren’t able to find a donor opted to conceive


    another child to make use of the child’s cord blood for treatment. It is a more effective treatment with a


    higher rate of recovery.”


    “Conceive another child?” “That’s right. Cord blood transnt is effective on some children. I’m telling


    you this so that you can know all your options. Your daughter’s case is discovered early on, so you


    have a lot of options. You should be mentally prepared to tackle this, so that you can pick out the best


    option for your daughter’s treatment.”


    After Selena left that office, she had been mulling on what that doctor told her. She wiped her tears


    away when she got to the ward before giving her stiff face a pinch to make sure she had a smile on her


    mouth.


    Meanwhile, Juniper was already awake. Upon hearing the door open, she turned to look at Selena.


    “Mom…”


    “I’m here!” Selena walked up to her bed to caress her cheek. “What would you like to eat?”


    “Mom, do I have a grave illness?”


    “No.” Unsure of how to divulge the news to her, Selena chose to keep her in the dark for the moment.


    However, Juniper stared at her with a straight face. “Mom, do I have leukemia?”


    Hearing her say that made Selena’s heart sink instantly.


    “I know what’s happening even if you don’t tell me. One of the children in our kindergarten never came


    back to the kindergarten after multiple nosebleeds. I overheard the teachers saying that he had


    leukemia. Treatment failed despite the huge fortune spent on it. He might nevere back ever


    again.”


    Upon hearing that, Selena pulled her in for an embrace, but Juniper still had more to say. “Mommy, will


    I die?” The mention of death made Selena feel even more sorry for her daughter. “Mommy, will I be


    able to go to where Jamie is if I die?”


    The fact that she still had to start an investigation to find Jameson totally went over her head. Too much


    had happened ever since she got back to Springvale, so she had a hard time keeping up with


    everything. Shaking her head, she consoled Juniper by telling her, “You won’t die. The doctor told me


    that even though you do have leukemia, there are many types of leukemia, and some are curable. Do


    you understand?”


    Juniper nodded despite her confusion.


    “Don’t you worry, as the doctor will do his best to treat you. However, the treatment might be painful.


    Are you afraid?”


    Shaking her head, Juniper replied, “I’m not. You will be with me, right?”


    “Yeah, I will be with you. Always.” Seeing how thoughtful she was made Selena want to cry.


    Sometimes, she wished that Juniper could be less mature; she would rather her daughter throw a


    tantrum so that she could soothe and love her. However, she was just too mature.


    After getting her hands on Juniper’s test report, Selena began searching for information online, as well


    as sending out emails to foreign research institutes. The reply they gave her indicated that they could


    indeed get a regr treatment first, just like what the doctor told Selena earlier, but Juniper might be


    more susceptible to rpses after treatment. Although there wasn’t a hundred percent chance that she


    would suffer a rpse, seeing that there was a chance of a rpse was proof that either a bone


    marrow transnt or cord blood transnt would be their best choice.
