Chapter 282 - Concerns
Alexandria Community.
Jason extended his hand toward Negan, and he also smiled and shook his hand in response.
"My name is Jason, nice to meet you. Let me briefly say that, for security reasons, we need to talk in more depth, so you must accompany me to a special room."
"Understood, we will cooperate with everything you need." While the two were talking, Lucille’s legs suddenly gave way, luckily she leaned on her husband so she wouldn’t fall directly to the ground.
Negan’s face changed, he supported his wife with some concern and sent her to sit by the grass where there were flowers.
"How are you?"
"I’m fine, it’s just a little dizziness, wait, I need space..."
After saying that, Lucille vomited for a while, she felt her body grow even weaker. Leaning against Negan’s body, she said with a little shortness of breath: "It doesn’t look like this is going to work, we need to be mentally prepared."
"No, you’ll be fine. When you calm down, I’ll help you find a better doctor."
"It’s alright, I’m already happy to spend more time with you."
Just as the two were encouraging each other, a voice suddenly appeared beside them and asked: "Can I examine her?"
It turned out Edward had approached them, he looked closely at Lucille’s expression and, seeing this person’s appearance, both of them felt a little confused.
Fortunately, Jason not far away explained to them: "Edward is a good doctor, he has certain specialties that make him a very valuable person. I saved him a few months ago and now he works here as a doctor."
Lucille’s expression became somewhat expectant, but she seemed to think of something, and immediately calmed down again, a bitter smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you, but my illness is very serious and the hope of curing it was extremely low even before the end of the world, let alone now."
Putting his arms around his wife, Negan disagreed and said: "Don’t say such depressing words, you can’t lose all hope."
"Edward, please, help her if you can. We managed to get her through a full round of chemotherapy before and her health had been improving a little. I don’t know why, but recently she started having problems again."
"Don’t worry, come on, give me a hand."
Smiling, he gestured for them not to worry, Edward pulled out a stethoscope and began to examine Lucille.
Most of the situations he had encountered before he had managed to solve through trauma cases, and due to the lack of medicine he had found solutions based on some things he found before arriving in Alexandria.
In the current situation, having medicine and the best medical tools is more than enough to cure any type of disease or at least treat it.
Although they didn’t know what he was doing, the husband and wife didn’t speak and just waited in silence.
Dr. Franklin, who was standing not far away, looked in surprise at the man examining Mrs. Lucille. He knew about Negan’s wife’s condition and knew well the procedure to save her. Although now, without medications or tools, he couldn’t determine what was happening to her.
With instructions to breathe and checking every abnormal detail of Lucille, Edward was able to gather a lot of information.
"Take a deep breath and hold it as long as you can..."
"How is it?"
Negan showed some excitement, which made everyone around him sympathize with him, but Edward’s expression relaxed a little and he spoke slowly.
"Let me briefly explain the situation. Since you have cancer... Considering that you went through a series of chemotherapy sessions, your body began to accept the treatment but it’s also true that this severely damaged your body. Together with long-term malnutrition, it resulted in a very unstable physical condition. The most important point is that I believe you are pregnant. This has a lot to do with your recent deterioration."
"What!"
"I’m pregnant?"
Nodding to confirm their doubts, Dr. Franklin also slapped his forehead, stunned.
"That’s right, why didn’t I think of it? Well, I couldn’t imagine something like that happening under that condition. Although the probability was very low, it is very possible."
But Edward hadn’t finished his explanation and said: "As for the illness, it should be under control, but your body is far too weak right now. I’ll keep you under observation these days. Don’t worry."
In fact, her condition was more complicated. As for the pregnancy, she also had some doubts, but now was not the time to talk about these things. Jason said nothing and let this happen. The purpose of his action was to make Lucille feel a little calmer and not suffer too much psychological pressure. It wasn’t too late to talk to Negan, he believed the man could understand his intentions.
Although he really didn’t know how good Edward’s skills were, these words really made the husband and wife breathe a sigh of relief.
But the people behind Franklin were a little stunned. They had also heard it was cancer, so they had added medicine according to the cancer treatment method after deeper observation. This was also the main reason why Lucille had managed to persist until now.
At first they were very happy. After all, doctors before the end of the world still needed to use various mechanical equipment to help with treatment and everything was gathered here. To be able to control Lucille’s disease without auxiliary equipment, in their opinion, was already an unattainable miracle.
"We have many medicines and medical equipment, we can treat the illness and for now that’s the most important thing." Edward looked at Bob beside him and then said: "We have to prepare the necessary medicine, with hydrating fluids and letting her rest is enough."
"I understand."
Jason then clapped his hands and said: "Alright, listen, let Mr. Negan send his wife to his RV and follow me first."
After that, Franklin and his group first accepted Jason’s questioning and learned in detail about these people’s situation.
Not long after, Negan arrived at the meeting room, an excited expression on his face, he stepped forward and took Jason’s hand.
Looking at the great villain from the original drama in front of him, Jason couldn’t help but recall him.
Negan’s backstory in the original drama is really pitiful. Of course, there were reasons for the director team to cover it up. He was a high school physical education teacher and had a beautiful wife, but he couldn’t escape guilt because he cheated on her.
Coincidentally, Lucille found out about this and was very angry. She knew she still loved Negan, and at the same time, she also learned something even more terrible: she had cancer.
After much struggle and pain, she finally decided to forgive her husband. She only confessed to him that she had cancer. As for his infidelity, she didn’t mention a word. Lucille decided to place her last hope in her husband’s hands, and it turned out she was right.
After hearing the news, Negan was determined to change his past and immediately devoted himself to caring for his wife, but soon the end of the world came.
Negan couldn’t bear to see his wife like that, so he had to learn by himself the entire method and process of chemotherapy, then prepared a generator and began treatment at home.
The side effects of chemotherapy followed. Lucille, who had originally been beautiful, lost all her blonde hair. To make her look beautiful every day, Negan collected all kinds of wigs outside.
The relationship between the two also became much more unique during this time alone, and they even rediscovered the feeling they had when they first fell in love. Lucille also gradually changed from her initial despair to more and more reluctance, and began to actively cooperate with her husband, seeing him do everything possible for her to survive.
However, when only three treatments were left, an accident happened. The drugs used for chemotherapy had to be stored at low temperature, which caused the three doses to fail.
Desperate, he had no choice but to go out to look for medicine. Fortunately, a previous experience made him know that there was a group of doctors who had been helping nearby patients. He was desperate and planned to try his luck.
The wife, who had originally been very cooperative, strongly opposed it. She vaguely felt that if she let her husband go, it would be a farewell. Whether she agreed or not, he didn’t want to lose his last hope.
The search process went smoothly. He successfully found the group of doctors and obtained medicine for free and a baseball bat from the doctors, but he ran into a group of thugs on the way back.
They were jealous of the medicine in Negan’s hand and pressured him to give up the location of the doctors. In the end, he couldn’t withstand the interrogation and betrayed the doctor in exchange for his freedom because he was anxious about his wife.
However, when he entered the house and saw his wife who had committed suicide in bed and turned into a walker, he collapsed. After burying his wife, in memory of her, Negan wrapped a steel mesh around a baseball bat. The weapon was named: Lucille.
Carrying the bat, he returned to the base camp of the gang of thugs, killed them all, saved the doctors and their group, and then smashed the head of the other leader with Lucille!
Since then, the leader of the Saviors was known as Negan!
That was the original plot, but now Jason looked at him with some expectation, wanting to know what the current Negan had gone through.
After a little gratitude, Negan’s emotions gradually calmed down. Looking back now, it seemed the other side could control Lucille’s illness.
"We will do everything possible to keep your wife safe. If we can’t save her here, no one in the world can. But tell me, we need to have a brief talk. Tell me about your experience. What have you done since the end of the world began?"
A reminiscent expression appeared on Negan’s face, and the ins and outs of the matter gradually became clear as he narrated.
