From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 395

Tanya was completely taken aback by Jane's outburst. "Sis, what's happening? Is something wrong?"

your treatment."

Jane just stared at Tanya, her voice tense with emotion. "I know everything, Tanya. Everything! Little sis, come home with me. Let's get you the help you need. Don't worry, your brother and I have been saving up-we've got over a million in the bank! That'll definitely cover Tanya was stunned that Jane knew about her condition.

Even more so, she was surprised to hear Jane say such things.

Jane was usually so frugal.

She hardly ever splurged on her hair.

Rarely bought new clothes.

Skincare products? Out of the question.

At just in her thirties, she lived like someone a decade older, all in the name of saving money.

And yet, they had managed to save over a million...

But today.

For her, Jane was willing to use all that money for her treatment.

Despite their occasional indifference, deep down, they had always considered each other family.

Jane especially felt this way.

In her heart, Tanya was truly her sister.

She couldn't imagine a home without her.

Trying to keep a brave face, Tanya smiled weakly. "Sis, it's lung cancer, advanced stage. There's no hope for treatment. Instead of wasting money, I'd rather spend quality time with you all."

"We can beat this! You're still so young, and with the right treatment, there's always hope!" Jane was now crying. "Don't worry about the money, your brother and I can save up twenty thousand a year, and we've got over a million saved up. That's definitely enough for your treatment!"

Tanya shook her head. "Sis, listen to me. It's terminal. Treatment won't help. It'll just drain our finances and add to the pain. Please, don't tell my brother or our parents."

"You're their only daughter, and you're my only sister. Ethan's only aunt! If something happens to you, what are we supposed to do? No more talk of giving up. Let's go home, sis!" Jane pulled Tanya back towards their house. "Sis, that money was for you and my brother to buy a house! You've saved for years. I can't burden you with this. Not you, not Ethan. Please, don't tell my brother or our parents, okay?" By the end, Tanya was on her knees.

Tanya couldn't bear the thought of bringing her family down with her in her final days. Lung cancer was a death sentence.

Not only was it incurable, but the hospital bills would be astronomical.

Jane also knelt down, pleading. "Little sis, I'm begging you too. Don't give up on yourself when we haven't given up on you. We can buy another house, but we can't replace you We must treat this! Even if it means breaking the bank. We have enough saved up. You shouldn't worry about these things."

"Sis!"

"Come home with me, let's tackle this together. Let's get you treated, okay?"

Tanya was in agony. "It's no use...my condition is untreatable."

"Just stand up, I'll keep your secret."

"Really?" Tanya looked at Jane in surprise.

Jane nodded. "Really."

Tanya stood up. "Sis, thank you."

Wiping away her tears, Jane said, "Let's go home."

When they got home, Karan, Gage, and Hank were already there.

Hank was confused. "Jane, what's the matter? Why did you rush to call me and the folks back home?"

Karan and Gage looked equally puzzled.

Jane took a deep breath. "I have something to announce."

"What is it?" Hank asked.

Realizing what Jane was about to disclose, Tanya quickly tugged at her sleeve.

"Sis, please don't! You promised!"

"I have to say it!" Jane turned to the three in the room. "Dad, Mom, Hank, Tanya's sick. It's advanced lung cancer."
