CEO Of My Heart 142 142

Ellie felt the discomfort set in when she looked at Olga. All this time so many people had been asking after her and caring about her recovery. She had never thought to ask what bothered Olga so much. Ellie was aware that Derrick was sick but didn't know the extent of it. Since the man was young, Ellie had a.s.sumed that after chemotherapy he would be ok. "It's great that you talked to Wu. But, what did she recommend that your partner do next?"

"I can't believe that I'm going to say this out loud, but she wants to refracture hos skull and then have them heal all over again. I know it sounds so brutal. But she thinks that if the bone there has a bit more stability while it heals it wont dip down to cause so much pressure. That doctor thinks that it could cure the migraines entirely. That means that Derrick could go on planes and be cleared to travel. You know that we've been wanting to go home to Europe for ages. I want him to meet my parents and see my home where I grew up. I mean Wu cannot make a guarantee about the cancer, but if that area is healthy his chances of recovery should go up a lot."

Ellie looked at her friend with a strained expression as she took her hand between hers. What Olga was suggesting was not going to be an easy road. There would be challenges ahead for her. The months that Olga had spent hoping for her boyfriend's test result to be good would return. It would be another time of waiting for Olga. Ellie couldn't help the sigh that slipped out. "Are you committed to going through with this process again, Olga? You have my full support."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Of course. I am so happy someone supports me. My parents just tell me to meet a healthy Russian and pop out some grandkids before they get too old. I'm not that excited to be honest even though Derrick is incredibly excited. It's good to see him happy after all this time. I think Dr Wu is the first physician who has brought him some hope in years. I don't think that's a bad thing. He's so happy so I need to smile with him even though I'm worried that it wont work. We've been trying for such a long time." Olga looked like she was on the verge of tears again. "I can't imagine what another surgery would do to him. He's such a bad example of following doctor's orders. I will have to take time off work to nurse him so that's another couple months where I'll have it hard. But that's ok because he will prove everyone in Russia and here wrong."

Ellie looked at the bit of fire in her friend's eyes and wondered if she was only getting angry to avoid crying. Over the last month, Olga had been there for every midnight call for support and first to congratulate her on her little medical victories. Ellie felt ashamed now that she could not repay this back in a way that Olga would appreciate. Money would not go over well. Food was too particular. It was hard to think that her strong friend too harbored deep inner pain even though she hid it well. Maybe a little too well
