" No, they aren't twins. Liam is the eldest. He's 6 years old while Sherry is 4 this year." Ellen replied politely.

 After they were done with their lunch, tea was served for the adults while Sherry and Liam drank fruit juice. The adults were seated on the white couches in the room.

 Old Hua peered at Ellen with the corner of his eyes and asked, " Erm... little Elly, you're currently jobless, right? " He spoke cautiously eyeing her sheepishly while tightly gripping the handle of the cup on his hand.

 Ellen almost choked on her tea. She glared at him like she was looking at the biggest idiot ever. ' Does he have to rub it on my face in public!! '

 Old Hua felt his mouth go dry when he felt the chilliness she was emitting. " I... I wanted to ask a favor from you. "

 Ellen gave him an ' I knew it ' face and gestured him to go on. Old Hua straightened up when he saw her signal and wore a professional look.

 " Mrs Li's mother-in-law is the matriarch of the Li family. A while ago, she underwent a brain surgery to get rid of a brain tumor which was successful but recently, she has been having some problems which has led to her attending doctors to conclude that she is suffering from some brain surgical complications."

 Ellen nodded at him with a straight face while slowly sipping her tea. She looked indifferent as if she wasn't listening to someone's life and death situation but old Hua knew the young lady very well.

 Most people called her cold and had an indifferent attitude & arrogance but deep down there was a kindhearted soul in her.

 Hua Chen looked at Mrs Li and signaled her to continue.

 " My mother's family side has few cases of hereditary brain tumors.

 When we discovered she had one, although it was risky , she underwent a brain surgery in the country and it was successful. "

" Recently, she has been having some problems and we at first suspected that she had a relapse.

 In the hospital, she did an MRI scan which showed no signs of any tumors or injury. We all suspect that she's having complications from her previous surgery. "

 Ellen understood and nodded. " What did the doctors say? What is their diagnosis? " She asked looking at Mrs Li.

 She smiled awkwardly when she heard the question and stared down at her cup.

 " Well... mother is a little stubborn. When the doctors found no sign of a brain tumor, they suspected that she maybe having some complications and would probably need to undergo another surgery. "

 " Well, this is a big problem to all of us. Her first surgery was very risky, a second one may take her life.

 The doctors said that is very risky, she'd only have less than 10 % chance of survival. "

" For sometime she has been in poor health and put together with her elderly age, her body is too weak to take another surgery.

No doctor is optimistic about it. They also said that it'd also be challenging for the famous surgeon Dr. Nell. "

 " If only we can find him, my son has swept every corner of the world to find her to no avail. " She sighed sadly and helplessly. Her eyes were already glistening with tears.
