Doctor Leon breathed his foul breath. He must make a wise decision. Whatever it is about Sophia.
"Alright, let's talk outside" said Doctor Leon.
Alex nodded.
The two men decided to leave the place. They were sitting in the garden next to the Ferronika Building. Alex sits down with Dr. Leon. They look serious. They thought of Sophia.
"Sophia's been my patient for years. Sophia was my father's patient. Since childhood he has had liver cancer" said Dr. Leon.
"So Sophia has had liver cancer for a long time?" alex asked to confirm Doctor Leon's words.
"Yes" replied Dr. Leon.
Alex took a deep breath exhaling slowly.
"As Sophia's husband, I never knew my wife was sick. Just yesterday I found out that Sophia was sick" Alex said.
Doctor Leon was silent. Actually he also felt sorry for Sophia who hid her illness from anyone.
"Sophia doesn't want anyone to know about her illness. She is a strong and independent woman. Sophia just wants to give but doesn't want to be given" said Dr. Leon.
Alex's eyes glazed over Doctor Leon's words about Sophia. She knew very well Sophia was like a candle shining in the darkness but she herself would burn out.
"Tell me if Sophia can be cured?" ask Alex.
"God willing could, if Sophia continued to do the treatment she had been doing all this time. But unfortunately the treatment had to stop when Sophia decided to stop and get pregnant" replied Doctor Leon.
"So in other words Sophia has not done any treatment anymore?" ask Alex. He wants to know everything. Alex would be so guilty if he didn't know anything about Sophia.
"Yes, since deciding to marry Sophia has stopped doing treatment. She wanted to get pregnant and give offspring to her husband. Sophia wants to feel like she has a family" Dr Leon said. His eyes began to glaze over. She loves Sophia sincerely even though Sophia never knows her feelings.
"Family, is that Sophia's dream?" said Alex. She found out that Sophia wanted a family in her life.
"Yes, he wanted to feel like he had a family before he left forever, to feel like a wife and a mother" Dr Leon said. His voice began to be heavy to let out. His chest felt the same tightness as what Alex was now feeling.
"Sophia ..." The words spoken as the pain piled up in his chest heard all of this reality.
"I had forbidden Sophia from getting pregnant, as her condition would be decreasing. Sophia insisted. He wants to give you offspring as proof of his love for you" Doctor Leon says. Although she has a bit of jealousy when she has to admit that Sophia loves Alex but her love for Sophia is sincere.
Alex lowered. Massaging the base of his nose. Her tears were unstoppable with the sacrifices Sophia made to give her offspring.
"Now we can only pray that Sophia will be okay during her pregnancy, that's all we can do for now" Dr Leon said.
"Tell me the possibility!" Alex pinta. He wanted to know what was going on in front of him. Although it's bitter.
"Maybe Sophia's condition will continue to decline if she stays in her establishment, in just a few years or months her condition can get worse," said Dr Leon.
Alex fell silent. Still down.
"Even faster if the cancer spreads," said Dr. Leon.
"How much time do you have left if you stay like this? Tell Doc even if it's the worst possible thing!" Alex pinta.
"Maybe a year or two is the longest, but if the cancer cells grow faster and spread, it can be faster than expected" Dr. Leon said. He had to say the worst thing that would happen. Let Alex know what Sophia's condition is.
"Is it possible in a month that cancer cells develop faster and spread?" ask Alex.
"It could be, we can't predict any of that. Back to fate" replied Doctor Leon.
"So Sophia's life and our baby's life are threatened?" ask Alex. Berat said the bad reality was but he had to think in that direction.
"You'd say Sophia would choose to die to save the baby she's carrying, wouldn't you?" ask Alex in a high tone.
Doctor Leon was silent. He knew the worst possibility.
"Sophia why did all this have to happen to you?" alex said as he ruffled his hair using his five fingers.
Doctor Leon pats Alex on the shoulder.
"You must be strong, so that Sophia has the spirit to heal and survive" said Doctor Leon.
Alex looked to the side. Looking at Doctor Leon.
"Yes, definitely. I won't let Sophia get away from me" Alex replied.
"Be happy Sophia even if it's for the rest of her life! Because you're lucky to have her love" said Doctor Leon.
Alex nodded.
"Do you know of any other way to cure Sophia?" ask Alex.
"There was surgical removal of cancer cells, but since the cancer cells had already spread in some parts of his liver, it was not possible. It can only be done if the cancer cells are still small" said Dr Leon.
"How should we do Doc?" ask Alex.
"The only way is a liver transplant, removing a diseased liver and replacing a healthy liver from a donor," Dr Leon replied.
Alex was speechless thinking about what Doctor Leon had said. There must be someone who donated her heart to Sophia.
"So someone has to donate her heart to Sophia?" ask Alex.
"Yes, but to get a liver donor is difficult, you have to have a match between the donor and the recipient" Dr Leon said.
Alex is back. Who would donate his heart to Sophia. You should also get a suitable donor liver. No one would be willing to donate his heart even though he was paid dearly. If there is one to a thousand.
"Take my heart, if it's a last resort" Alex asked.
"You're going to donate your heart to Sophia?" ask Dr. Leon.
"Yes, even if my heart is needed, I will give it to Sophia for her to heal" Alex replied. She just wanted Sophia to recover as she was.
"I'm overwhelmed that you sacrificed anything for Sophia" Dr Leon said.
"I want Sophia to live and take care of our child, she deserves more to live than I am covered in this sin" Alex replied. His eyes returned to tears.
"But Sophia is not necessarily willing, after all your heart is not necessarily suitable for her," said Dr. Leon.
"Whatever it is do your best, if my heart is suitable for Sophia, even if I have to die," Alex replied.
Doctor Leon was silent. Alex really loves Sophia. He died to save Sophia's life.
"I don't have to worry about Sophia anymore. Because he already had an angel who was always there for him" Doctor Leon told Alex.
Alex smiled faintly.
"I used to love Sophia, I didn't want to when she married you, because I know you're a jerk, but now I salute you, Sophia didn't choose you wrong" Dr. Leon said.
"No, I was the lucky one chosen by Sophia to be her priest" Alex replied.
Both loved Sophia sincerely. But now Doctor Leon has sincerely released Sophia when he knows Alex really loves Sophia.
