mother broke down on the spot as well. Her great sadness could be felt by anyone. Amelia's father embraced
her, not knowing how to console her.
He was in great despair too. No words of comfort could console her, much less himself.
I sighed and asked the doctor, "Is there any other treatment available other than a bone marrow transplant?"
The doctor shook his head. "With the current technology, leukemia can only be cured by a bone marrow
transplant. And even with a bone marrow transplant, there is no 100% guarantee of success. Leukemia is
generally genetic. The child's mother or father probably has a family history of leukemia."
"Our family doesn't have this genetic disease," Amelia's parents said in a choking voice.

"Please stand up first, Ma'am. We can always have a proper talk about things. You don't have to be this way.
Amelia has worked for Grant Corporation for a very long time. We'll do everything we can to help."
Amelia's mother was already crying so hard that she was gasping for air. However, she still insisted, "Our unfilial
son robbed us of all of our money, and our pension doesn't reach us every month. We depended on Amelia's
salary to survive, that's why we so shamelessly went to Grant Corporation to demand compensation. We'll die of
starvation if we don't do that."
