From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 400

Hearing such words, Karan's heart ached terribly, and with a stern face, he said, "What are you talking about, kiddo? You're going to be just fine! You have to believe that! Listen to mom, keep taking your meds and cooperate with the treatment, okay?"

Tanya smiled and nodded, "Yeah! I'll be good, I promise."

The family then escorted Tanya back to her hospital room.

Even though Tanya had made it clear she didn't want to see her biological parents, Karan and Gage were not ready to give up on the idea of getting Malloy and Bader to visit her at the hospital.

Tanya's life might be coming to an end in just three months.

As parents, they felt compelled to find a way to mend her broken heart and not let her leave this world with regrets.

Meanwhile, at the Davis household.

Malloy and Bader were sitting in the living room, enjoying their dinner.

Suddenly, Bader said, "Hey, did you hear? The SAT scores are out. I heard our Tanya scored over 580!"

"Really?" Malloy asked, surprised.

Bader nodded, "Absolutely. Heard it straight from Lea! Isn’t she working at the same place as Old Joe's wife?"

Malloy put down his fork, "Well, that’s our Tanya for you! Over 580, huh? She could get into any top college with that score!"

"Yeah, heard she’s applied to Capital City Liberal Arts College!"

"Capital City, huh?" Malloy's eyes sparkled with excitement, "That’s the big league! Imagine if Tanya ends up dating some hotshot from Capital City. She’d be set for life!"

People from Capital City were known to be affluent.

There’s an old saying, "One family member makes it big, and the whole clan rises."

Hearing this, Bader's eyes lit up too.

"No way we’re letting the Joneses get all the glory! We’re Tanya's flesh and blood. We need to claim her back! Then she could even find Theodore a catch from Capital City. Imagine that, Theodore becoming one of the Capital City folks!"

Malloy nodded in agreement, "You’re spot on! With Theodore's looks and smarts, he’s bound to land a wealthy heiress from Capital City!" Unaware of how spoiled Theodore had become, they didn’t see the trouble brewing just yet.

Bader frowned slightly, then said, "But what if Tanya refuses to acknowledge us?"
