Janet paused in contemplation for a moment, then gave a wry smile and nodded, "Alright, I'll proceed with your treatment plan. Thank you for your help." Witnessing her daughter's faint desolation, Johanna felt a pang in her heart and continued to question the doctor, "Can you please give me a concrete answer? How long will this treatment take? And what are the prospects of pregnancy after the treatment?"
The doctor considered for a moment and replied, "It's difficult to provide an exact timeline. It primarily depends on the individual's response to treatment. It could be as brief as several months, but it could also span several years."
Johanna sunk into her chair, rubbing her temples in despair. She murmured, "I can't believe it could take this long..."
She looked at her daughter with a compassionate gaze and said, "If it proves unfeasible, we can choose to forego the treatment. Having a child isn't a life necessity, and I don't want you to endure so much."
Janet bit her lip and fell silent.
She understood Johanna's concerns and was apprehensive about the challenges ahead. However, she cherished the hope of having a child with Brandon and wasn't ready to abandon it due to the current complications.
She had witnessed the joy and strength in Laney's demeanor after childbirth and the newfound maturity in Garrett upon becoming a father. More so, she had seen how a child had deepened their bond
during conflicts.
To her, a child wasn't merely a manifestation of love but also a bridge binding two lovers together.
Therefore, despite the looming hardships, she was resolved to attempt it.
Observing the determination in Janet's eyes, Johanna felt worried but was at a loss.
