"What’s going on with her?”
“She... she had some tests done,” Desi began, her voice trembling. “The scans didn’t catch everything. I got the results back today.”
“What do you mean?” Lucas stepped closer, his eyes narrowing in concern. “What are you saying?”
Desi took a deep breath, steadying herself. “Lily has Ewing Sarcoma. It’s a type of bone cancer. The scans missed it before. I’m so sorry, Lucas.”
Lucas’s face fell, and he leaned against the counter, disbelief etched across his features. “No. This can’t be happening. She looked fine just days ago.”
“I know.” Desi felt tears prick her eyes. “But the symptoms can be subtle at first. She may start experiencing pain in her bones, fatigue, and possibly fever. It’s aggressive.”
He ran a hand through his hair, frustration boiling over.
