Cancer.

It was a terrible thing that she had only heard of. Doctors were working to learn more about this disease, and most of it was still a mystery, but the doctor was certain that was what Josephine had.

“Am I going to die, doctor? What about my baby?” She had tears in her eyes, and fought for control.

“I am afraid that the outlook for this isn’t very promising… we see a lot of patients pass through these doors, and few of them are able to cope with this well. We will do everything that we can for you and your child, but I am afraid that the treatment is limited, and costly.”

Ruben had been sitting silently next to her for the discussion, but he perked up at the mention of treatment. He had been treating her like a fragile glass doll since she had told him, and he had feared the worst from the start.

To him, money was something that was unlimited, and if he could pay to have her healed, he was going to do it.

“What are we looking at for treatment?” She asked.

“Right now, surgery is the best and most effective treatment. If you are willing to travel up to the northern part of the state, there is a surgeon up there that specializes in this kind of surgery, and he would be able to help you. I have to warn you, though, he isn’t cheap.

We are talking in the thousands for this surgery.” He stood up to go, but Ruben stopped him.

“Money isn’t any problem. We have plenty, and no matter what it takes, that is what we are going to do.” He put his hand over Josephine’s, and looked determined.

The doctor smiled. “Mr. Stein, I am not going to make you any promises, but I assure you it is worth a shot. This weather is going to make it difficult to get up there, but I encourage you to act quickly. He is a busy man.”

With that, the doctor left, and they were left alone.

“Don’t you worry, I am sure it isn’t going to be that much. We have enough money to deal with it, and we are going to make you… and the baby… all better.”
