In the end, Lianne chose the mechanical valve.
Although it meant taking medication for life, it was far better than to have to go through another surgery just to replace it. Just the thought of having to go through another open-heart surgery was something that Lianne could not bear.
The possibility of surgery is far better than the certainty of one.
If all goes well, the mechanical valve would serve her well until she passes on. If not, then she would have to go through some repairs. At least, she could 'ignore' it.
After more discussion, it was decided that the surgery would be done just after the finals. The surgery would be done right after and she could use the end-of-the-year school holidays to recuperate.Â
It would take about a month or two before she could go back to school.
The only thing left was to inform Joseph of Lianne's condition.
Kyle sighed.
