There Must Be A Solution

"It's motor neurone disease. ALS."

Uncle Lin removed a cigarette from the box in his pocket. Seeing that this was the hospital ward, he stopped and bent the cigarette in his hand. Then, he threw it into the dustbin by the side. "Terminal illness. Can't be treated."

It felt like the air in the ward went still.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin did not speak anymore. It was as if they had accepted the unjust arrangement of fate.

Indeed.

It was very unfair.

Uncle Lin squashed the box of cigarettes in his hand hardly until it was out of shape… He just lost his daughter! That bright and kind daughter! Forget about the low point in his career. Now, the heavens wanted to take his lover? Uncle Lin's drooping face began to look twisted, and his eyes were gradually becoming bloodshot red.

He hated it.

But he was helpless.

After a series of silence, Li Yao suddenly said, "We still have time, there must be a way."

Uncle Lin smiled, broken. "Terminal illness. No cure."

Li Yao did not explain. He was not speaking to Uncle Lin just now. He was speaking to himself and also to Lin Xiaowei, who was far away in another world. Now, he was already no longer an ordinary man. This kind of thing was a terminal illness to human society… fine. He had no solution right now; after all, he was still a rookie.

But he believed that Lin Xiaowei had the power to solve this problem!

Uncle Lin, you don't have to feel that fate is unfair to you.

In fact…

The heavens have been rather kind to you.

You have an extraordinary elder daughter who can transmigrate and a younger daughter with strangely amazingly good luck.

If my two oldies know of this, they would definitely be so envious that they'd go crazy and might even separate from you.

Li Yao's confidence made him seem calm. Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin looked at Li Yao strangely. They were communicating with their eyes. "Big Yao is… a little weird."

Why is he so calm?

Or is he really crazy?

After a while, Lin Xiaoxi was back from washing her face.

This silly girl even touched up her makeup.

Ha.

The kids nowadays are really good. They have just reached the age of maturity, and they are already so good at putting on makeup!

Lin Xiaoxi was also simple-minded. She followed everything that the adults at home wanted her to do. When she returned to the ward, she said righteously, "Pa, let's transfer Mom to a higher class ward. I am rich now! Over 8 million!"

Lin Xiaoxi's parents replied. "What?"

Lin Xiaoxi took out her phone and showed them the chain of numbers. "Look!"

The Lin Parents looked closely. "!!!"

Where did you get so much money from?!

Lin Xiaoxi: (≖ᴗ≖)✧!

I'm impressive, huh!

The Lin Parents' faces turned gloomy. Is this the time to be happy?

Daddy Lin said with a straight face, "Xiaoxi, what… did you do? Why did you get so much money after going on a trip to Macau? Nothing's wrong, right? Big Yao… tell us, quick!"

Lin Xiaoxi was deeply engrossed in a state of "I'm so impressive, huh!". There was no way to communicate with her properly. So, Uncle Lin turned to ask Li Yao instead. Li Yao explained calmly. "Yeah, clean money. Xiaoxi earned it herself."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed them his bank account balance. "I earned some too."

"???"

Money can be earned so easily now?

You can each earn over 8 million from traveling abroad?

I'm worrying about my mid-life crisis, and here you are turning me into the father of a rich beauty? Uncle Lin was feeling very melancholic. It always feels like his position in this family was automatically -1.

Uncle Lin said, "The two of you, stop fooling around. What exactly happened!"

Li Yao smiled and answered. "Good luck. Earned some in the casino. Don't worry, we won't play this big next time."

So there is going to be a next time!

Uncle Lin's face went stiff. He tried to use the kind of stern look that a parent would have to suppress their unhealthy behavior.

Li Yao smiled and did not speak up.

If I play again, I said 'if', then I definitely won't play this big anymore… I'd bet even bigger! Of course, I won't tell this to Uncle Lin. Also, I won't bring Lin Xiaoxi along next time.

As to whether he was afraid if his parents knew?

Ha.

If they knew, the corner of their lips would go crooked from all the smiling.

The two oldies could then peacefully be the parents of a rich kid.

After some casual chatting, Uncle Lin was afraid that Aunt Lin's medical condition would be exposed, so they convinced Lin Xiaoxi to return home to wait. He would stay at the hospital to take care of his wife. Before Lin Xiaoxi left, she gave Uncle Lin 1 million yuan to settle the medical bills.

This time, the tight medical fees suddenly felt less burdensome.

It seems like they were no longer so stressed as well?

Huh.

How great it is to be rich!

Uncle Lin looked at the notification on his phone regarding his bank balance, and he felt a mixture of complicated feelings.

On the way home, Lin Xiaoxi changed her tone from when she was in the hospital. In a low voice, she asked, "Brother Li Yao, my Mom…"

Li Yao answered. "Don't worry, there's a solution."

Lin Xiaoxi answered. "Okay."

For some reason, she trusted Li Yao's words. She felt like she was no longer as panicky.

When he returned home, he did not want to be bombarded with questions from his parents. So, Lin Yao snuck into his room immediately and sent Lin Xiaowei a message. "You here?"

After a while, he received a voice message. When he played it, there was a low male voice on the other end. "She's asleep."

Li Yao's face turned dark.

You are in another f*cking world!

Why is there someone sending me a voice message in Chinese!?

Are you using old voice messages to mess with me? That makes you happy???

Li Yao replied. "Ha, I had something serious to tell you about your family. Since you're asleep, then forget it."

Lin Xiaowei answered. "…Dad… I'm in the wrong."

Seriously no principles!

Li Yao rolled his eyes. "Aunt is sick."

Lin Xiaowei replied. "Is it… hard to deal with?"

Li Yao said, "ALS."

Then, there was a long period of silence on the other end.

Lin Xiaowei knew what ALS was. Previously, there was a trending ice bucket challenge all over Twitter and Weibo. In the beginning, this was an event initiated by a former baseball player at Boston College in the United States. After completing the ice bucket challenge, the person would appoint others to participate. If one did not participate, they would have to donate 100USD. Later, many tech and influencers had also invested in this event, spreading awareness for this issue.

Initially, the charity effects of this event were rather good. They gathered billions of USD of donations.

Afterward, it spread to China. Various influencers and celebrities used it as a way to gain attention. They made use of the idea of looking wet and alluring to attract the eyes of others.

A good charitable event turned into a totally new thing.

Then, Lin Xiaowei and Li Yao even mocked this thing.

But they did not think that in an instant, her own mother would get such a rare disease.

Lin Xiaowei, who was far away in another world, was lost for a moment. She shook her head and replied. "Give me some information about ALS and a more thorough medical report of my Mom. All of them!"

Li Yao answered. "Okay."

"Take good care of my family more often. My sister doesn't know, right?"

"She might have guessed. But I told her there's a way."

"That's right, there must be a way."

If there's a disease that cannot be cured on Earth, I will cure it!
