While the hormone meds have slightly lowered your creatinine levels, they're still not where they should be. We suggest you start dialysis and line up a kidney transplant as soon as you can." Greta's bank account was far from overflowing. For now, she could only choose to go with the conservative treatment route. "I'd like to stick with the meds for now," she said.
The doctor nodded, "If that's your decision, I'll keep prescribing them. But remember, your condition could worsen at any time, so you need to be ready for anything." Greta nodded, "Got it." As they left the hospital, Miranda couldn't hold it together any longer. She clutched Greta's hand, her voice urgent, "Greta, you heard the doctor. You need that kidney transplant, and fast." Greta looked at her, expressionless, "You think I don't know that? But where's the money coming from? Surgery costs a lot, are you going to foot the bill?" Miranda didn't have any money, but she was determined not to let her daughter walk down a dead-end path. "Don't worry about the money. We can ask your uncle for help. He's got plenty and is generous. He'll help us out, no doubt." Hope flickered in Greta's eyes as she started to believe in Lincoln. "Mom, you have to do it." Miranda nodded, "Let's go find your uncle right now. I'll beg if I have to; he'll help us, I'm sure." At the McCoy family mansion, Nathalie arrived, only to be halted by the guard. Without missing a beat, she brushed past him and pushed her way inside.

Nathalie eyed the young man, thinking to herself: Jawas Frankie's favorite, supposedly the grandson of her sister. Cozying up to Jamight just reveal ssecrets.
She approached Jaime, "Word is the McCoy family's known for its military and business ventures. But lately, It seems like your family's been stipping in the business world, almost disappearing. Maybe Frankie made a huge mistake backing you." Jasnorted, "Ashley, what do you want?" Nathalie went on, "Is the McCoy family so short on talent that Frankie wouldn't back her own grandson but an outsider instead?"
Jaime, ruffled by Nathalie's taunting, shot back, "Who said the McCon family is fadingert McCorm gets Al division soff the ground, it could shake up the world." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
