Given the OP's recent comments about wanting a "fantasy happy-ending" and all that entails, not giving the benefit of the doubt seems to be the way to go...
... do I need to point out that it is a "fantasy happy-ending" and not everyone's happy endings are going to be the same?
Ask yourself this: would you feel the same if the prompt had had been written so that the person with the disability was not cured, and they lived happily ever after with the disease?
If the answer is 'no, it would not bother me', then you are a disableist - because you cannot accept that some people do want to be cured.
As another anon mentioned, the OP didn't state what the other character wanted, and as someone else (perhaps the OP) mentioned, the prompt states no where that the disease is actually cured.
You are, in fact, assuming an ending to a fic that was never written.
