Chapter 2938Patricia thought, Besides, with so many people caring for me and by my side, I won’t feel any regrets.’
After Martin shared his tentative treatment plan, there was a mix of hope and concern in the room. Lulu
looked sympathetically at Patricia, who was biting her lip, trying to muster courage. “I’m willing to try,”
Patricia said, her voice firm despite her evident apprehension.
novelbinMartin, although not entirely confident, was optimistic. “This treatment combines the best ideas Nicole
and I could think of. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s the best shot we have,” he explained, handing Patricia
