The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1078

Austin had hoped they'd finally cure Donald's illness, but complications popped up unexpectedly.

Austin and Kitty stood outside the sterile room, peering through the glass at Donald lying inside. Both wore worried expressions.

"Don’t stress too much, Emmitt," Kitty reassured, giving Austin's shoulder a comforting pat. "The doctor said the complications aren’t too severe and are manageable. Just get through the next couple of weeks, and once the new bone marrow starts growing, he’ll be okay."

Austin had dark circles under his eyes, not just from worrying about Donald pulling through but also from dealing with the family drama brewing among his cousins. He was utterly exhausted.

Rubbing his temples, Austin turned his back against the glass, avoiding the sight of the room. "Let's hope."

"Maybe we should get Mr. Keller to check on Donald again," Kitty suggested.

"I’ve already called him. He’s coming to the hospital today." Mentioning Mr. Keller brought a glimmer of hope to Austin’s eyes.

Before the surgery, Donald had taken some of Mr. Keller's medicine, which had really improved his condition. They just had to hope it would tackle the post-surgery complications too.

Kitty nodded, her face easing a bit. "That’s good."

"Yeah."

Soon enough, Conrad arrived at the hospital.

Austin personally met him at the hospital's entrance, his demeanor especially respectful. As they walked, he filled Conrad in on the current situation.

When they reached outside the room, Austin pulled out Donald’s lab reports.

Those without ability are left to bow and scrape.

After leaving the hospital, Conrad headed straight back to the Pharmacists’ Guild and made his way to the guild’s library.

He sifted through the library's collection, jotting down a few useful prescriptions before heading out.

Even with Donald's current condition, Conrad wasn’t entirely confident. Pondering it over, he decided to consult his mentor, the Vice President of the Guild.

After hearing Conrad's explanation and scanning the prescriptions he had noted, the Vice President, with a casual glance, remarked, "Complications after a bone marrow transplant usually arise from low immunity during regeneration. Any of these should do the trick without any problems."
