A month had passed and the Young have a guest they never imagine it will happen .
"May I know who you are?" Hannah asked the four gentlemen and a woman doctor .
"We would like to personally talk to you ma'am and your husband . "
Hannah is hesitant to let them in . "My husband will be home a little while . Please come in . "
When Landon arrives, they began conversing with the Young's .
"Mr . Young, Mrs . Young, my name is Dr . Dave Williams, from Williams Research Facility . These are my co-scientists and this is Attorney John Murray . "
"What we can do for you, Doctor?" Landon asked coldly .
"The New York Medical Institution notified me about the case of your son, which basically is my grandson . "
"What are you implying, Doctor Williams?" Hannah asked sharply .
"Quinn's grandfather and I are first cousins . Quinn's case is a genetic illness . Our family has been studying and developing medicine for it . But since, it is a rare illness we can't find a…"
"A test subject!" Hannah angrily said . Doctor Williams quite for a moment .
"Actually ma'am, the cure we are developing is just compatible for William and De La Rue genetics . "
"De La Rue? Quinn's mother's side?" Landon is now confused .
"Lady Larah De La Rue Crow is sharing the same illness with Quinn . Lord Henry Crow, CEO of the Crow Corporation is the biggest investor of this study . He wanted to cure his wife . And since Quinn is a part of the De La Rue house, he wants to consider Quinn's case . "
"But you want to make my son like a rat! He's not an animal for your experiments!"
"What percentage is the possibilities that he will be cured?" Landon asked calmly .
"Honey!?" Hannah doesn't want to give in .
"If the chances are higher than 15% result after surgery, then there's no reason we should decline . "
"Honey, we both have a course about this!" Hannah did have a few courses about Medicine, she could pursue it to become a doctor .
"Honey, we already talk about this, that we will take everything for Quinn . If it will cure him and live, we won't take that chances for him . "
"But we know all the procedures and the pain he must endure!"
"I'll go . "
"Quinn!" They were surprised that Quinn was actually listening to their conversation .
"Quinn," Hannah is crying and hugs him very tight .
"I'll be okay Mama," he told her to calm her down .
They heard Cassandra cries, she was sleeping in the Master's bedroom .
"Go to her now, we will talk later . " Hannah tried I calm herself, she wipes her tears .
"What's his chances?" Hannah asked .
"Right now, the chances are 38 up to 52 percent . We have a new formula we are developing now, if it is a success, his chances to stay alive is 76% . . . " Doctor Dave Williams explains .
"I want Dr . Helen to watch him," Hannah requested .
"Of course, ma'am . The New York Institute recommended her to us . "
"That's glad to hear . " Hannah has calm down now . Landon holds her hand and squeezes lovingly .
"Mr . and Mrs . Young, my family has one request . "
"What?" Hannah asked coldly .
"We wanted to file a request for Termination of Adoption, that is why Attorney Murray is here . We want to restore his true identity as Quinn Williams and he no longer as Quinn Young . "
