Chapter 6 I heard Elton crying while I was half - conscious . He asked the doctor repeatedly , " Why won't the bleeding stop ? What's wrong with her ? Save her ! You have to save her ! " The doctor replied , " The patient's condition is critical . I told her the day before yesterday that there's a special medication . " If she cooperated with treatment , she might have lived for another two months , maybe even longer . But she said that she had no money left and didn't want treatment anymore . " Today , the emotional outburst worsened her condition significantly . At this point , there's no point in further treatment . It's too late to control the progression of her illness . The patient could ... " Elton struggled to keep his voice steady as he asked , " You're saying that ... she is really dying ? " Before the doctor could offer any words of comfort , Elton suddenly raised his voice , shouting with raw desperation , " No ! That's not possible ! You fix her now ! If you can't treat her , get the hell out and bring in the best doctor you've got ! " That night , Elton almost turned the hospital upside down . He stayed up through the night , contacting the best team of specialists he could find . No matter the cost , he was determined to keep me alive . Yet , terminal illness wasn't something that money alone could fix . Nevertheless , Elton refused to believe that . He insisted on taking me out of the hospital and flying me overseas to be treated . The doctors wanted to inform him that traveling abroad wouldn't cure my condition and would only worsen my suffering . However , no one dared to stop him until Daisy arrived with my will . I had confided in her long ago about my wishes . I had made it clear that if my illness ever rendered me bedridden , I would want her assistance in arranging for assisted euthanasia . I had witnessed Mom struggle in her final days . It was an experience that was incredibly difficult to endure . I was afraid of pain and suffering . Thus , I didn't want to experience the same . Daisy stormed in and slapped Elton hard across the face , trying to snap him out of it . She demanded , " Where the hell were you when it mattered ? Now you're flaunting your money ?
