From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 398

It took a moment before the father and son emerged from the doctor's office.

Karan was on his feet in an instant, "Dad, what did the doctor say?"

Gage smiled, "Nothing to worry about, the doc said Tanya's doing pretty okay, all things considered. With the right treatment, she'll be back on her feet in no time!"

Karan's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Gage gave him a look, "Do you really think I'd joke about something like this?"

With that, Gage turned to Tanya, "No more doom and gloom, okay? Just stick with the treatment plan and you'll be just fine."

Tanya knew her condition better than anyone, but to keep her parents from worrying, she nodded in agreement.

Hank spoke up, "I'll go get the hospital admission sorted."

"Go ahead," Gage nodded in agreement.

Jane decided to accompany him, "I'll come with you."

"Let's go," Hank took her hand, and they headed towards the ground floor.

As soon as they were out of sight, Hank's smile faded.

Jane, concerned, whispered, "Is Tanya's condition worse than they said?"

Hank squeezed her hand tighter.

Jane sighed and held his hand back, "Don't worry, Tanya's a fighter. She'll get through this."

Exiting the elevator, Hank took a deep breath, his voice nearly breaking, "The doctor said... Tanya might only have three months left."

Jane was taken aback despite knowing the severity of cancer.

"Three months? I can't imagine... not having Tanya around."

"But Dad said she wasn't that bad off, right?"

Hank shook his head, "We're going to try radiation therapy."

"It'll be okay! We'll make sure of it!" Jane reassured, "We'll get the best treatment, whatever it takes. She has to get better."
