Chapter: 52

Looking at Norah hopefully, Susanna asked, "So, what's the prediction?"

Sean, maintaining his silence, listened intently.

Norah explained, “After going through your medical history and conducting a physical examination, it's clear your situation is quite serious. Beyond leukemia, there are additional health challenges that demand attention."

Then, Norah added, "While I specialize in bodily restoration, leukemia treatment necessitates chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. Your chances improve markedly once your overall health is stabilized."

"Really? Does this mean I could live longer?" Susanna's eyes lit up with hope. “I had resigned myself to thinking my time was limited.”

Sean's reaction was subdued, cautioning, “Susanna, don't entertain such thoughts."

Unfazed, Susanna made a face and said, "Sean, I'm well aware of my condition. Dr. Davies himself has expressed doubts about my recovery. With such a skilled doctor unsure, can you blame me for feeling despair?"

The recurrence of her leukemia had forced Susanna to confront her mortality. Learning of Sean's efforts to locate Supernatural Doctor gave her a fleeting sense of hope. She was acutely aware of her precarious health, considering her prolonged survival thus far as somewhat miraculous. Yet, the idea of not experiencing many beautiful sights or savoring tasty dishes filled her with regret about Leaving this world.

Norah, moved by Susanna's resilience, declared, “Sean has invested significantly to secure my services. It wouldn't sit well with me to charge such a fee without delivering results."

Looking directly at Susanna, she encouraged, "You can try to trust me."

Sean, observing Norah's sincerity, felt something stir within him.

Susanna was thrilled. "Of course, I'll trust you. I mean, you're Supernatural Doctor. I trust you wholeheartedly. I've even researched you in secret, and you're truly incredible. There was this operation with only a 5% chance of success, yet you pulled it off. You're fantastic!"

Susanna was naturally outgoing and enjoyed chatting with people. Now that she was in the presence of Supernatural Doctor who might save her life, she was eager to talk actively!

Norah remained relatively calm, perched silently on the couch, offering brief replies here and there.

Susanna's demeanor reminded Norah of Joanna, though Joanna, having spent much time in Glophia, exhibited a more laid-back vibe. Susanna, lacking Joanna's untamed spirits, appeared quite endearing.

After a while, Sean said, “Okay, Susanna. Supernatural Doctor needs to deliver treatment."

Susanna pouted, accepting, “Alright, I get it Norah prepared her hands with alcohol, then, grasping a slender scalpel, reassured Susanna, “Don't be scared."

Before Susanna could react, Norah made a swift incision on Susanna's hand.

The sensation felt like an ant bite to Susanna, who noticed a slim, bleeding cut.

Susanna was amazed. The scalpel had made a precise cut, yet she felt little pain.

"This doesn't hurt as I had imagined! I was expecting it to,"

Susanna said.

As Norah proceeded, she clarified, "Certain skin areas don't hurt when sliced, while others do."

Her secret skill involved using a long, thin surgical knife. With it, she could open surface wounds and heal internal ailments. Known worldwide as Supernatural Doctor, her trademark was the Lancet.
