Save Me!!!

The atmosphere was a little awkward. The old man seemed to be looking at an intellectually disabled person. Chen Xi was originally quite depressed. At this moment, she had controlled her laughter until she was almost going to suffer from an internal injury. Her chest was trembling and seemed to be fighting.

Li Yao said calmly, "It's like this old man, you have hope."

He raised the cell phone and pointed to a repost from Penguin space. "Cancer seems to have been conquered."

Chen Xi said without thinking, "I know what you are saying is the Keytruda. This type of anti-cancer medicine can block PD-1/PD-L signals from going through and let the body's T cells in the immune system kill the cancer cells naturally. It is indeed a very useful anti-cancer medicine. We have already understood this information in 2016. But my grandfather's liver cancer is not in the treatment sequence."

Li Yao pursed his lips.

What connections does this Chen family have?

Looks like they are really very wealthy.

Reports said that in 2015, the former US President, Carter, had accepted this method of treatment and was cured clinically. Although that kind of treatment case of a noble character was not universal, the Chen family actually made relevant contacts and tries in 2016. It was sufficient to indicate that the Chen family's capability was not small.

But on the contrary, why was it this kind of family that could not go back to the provincial city?

Li Yao felt that he should not tread on this muddy water.

As he thought, he pointed at the antidote he had brought along and said, "This medicine can raise the cells' activeness in your body. It can replenish appropriate nutrients, and at the very least, it will not let the cancer cells erode you until you die. When this is combined with targeted gene therapy drugs, there is a very high probability that it will gradually suppress and kill the cancer cells."

This type of treatment was better than adding blood to oneself while taking medicine to detoxify.

Although one would continue to lose blood during the period of consumption of the medicine, as long as blood was added quickly enough, one could live on.

Chen Xi's gaze suddenly lit up. "Very good! How much is this antidote?"

One antidote could let her grandfather look better and wake up. There was no doubt of its efficiency!

Li Yao waved his hand and said, "No hurry. Let me finish speaking. But this medicine also has side-effects. Some components of the medicine will not only be absorbed by the body, but it may also be absorbed by the cancer cells, causing a second sudden change. That will be very dangerous."

If it did not go well, it would be the magical version of resident evil!

Although the medicine he gave did not go through the alchemy process and was a neuter version, the medicinal materials given by Lin Xiaowei contained spiritual properties themselves. Moreover, the stimulation of the spiritual properties of the medicine towards living cells would not differentiate between normal and cancer cells.

Chen Xi bit her teeth and said, "We have gone to this extent. How bad can the worst outcome be?"

It was only death.

Li Yao said, "Death is the best outcome. But your grandfather may also suddenly become, uh—a zombie you know? That kind in the movies."

Chen Xi was shocked.

Are you kidding?

However, Li Yao said seriously, "I'm not using frightening words to scare you. Hence, I awakened the old master to let everyone discuss. Before the surgery, the hospital will sign a responsibility letter. I also have to tell you all clearly about the actual situation."

Chen Xi felt very entangled.

However, the old man was very magnanimous. He was very interested in Li Yao. "After-born is not only handsome, but his capabilities are also not bad."

It was!

Li Yao accepted the compliment modestly.

The old man smiled and said to Chen Xi, "Xi Er, let's get discharged. I want to go out and walk."

The old man's gaze even had a tinge of hope. He did not want to put on the oxygen mask and lie on the bed and wait to die. He was once the leader of the provincial city and a big lord of the generation. He could not accept this hopeless way of dying.

Chen Xi held the bedsheet tightly. She held it so tightly that her joints became pale.

After a long time, she squeezed a word out from the gap in between her teeth. "Alright!"

The old man smiled. "Obedient."

The discharge procedure was handled very quickly. Chen Xi drove and personally picked the old man as he was discharged. Li Yao originally felt that this had nothing to do with him and never thought that Chen Beixuan would let him follow them. They went to a nearby park. It was evening, and there was a red glow. The old man held his walking stick and walked strenuously. "Hey, your antidote is awesome. I can actually walk."

But Chen Xi, who supported him at the side, knew that the old man beside her was already so old that he did not have any weight.

The old man sat down at a corner of the park in the end and panted. "I cannot walk any farther. I'm too tired."

He looked at hope in the sky and lamented. "I have sinned much in my life. I don't know how many people have cursed me to have a son born without an anus. Actually, it is fine if my son really has no anus. On the contrary, his brain is filled with bad thoughts, and he is not capable at all. He is quite passionate when it comes to fighting for the estate. I am still not dead! And he is just f*cking playing tricks continuously."

The old man's body emitted a resolute determination that was present for more than 30 years. "Xi Er, you don't have to be lenient."

He continued. "Number two was indeed not my biological child, but number two's dad was my brother. He followed me and made a living as we wandered from place to place together. He originally has a share of this estate now. It is a pity that he left early. I didn't expect that even his son also left early. What is this, leaving me hanging? He cannot even outlive me, an old man. Damn it."

"But…"

The old man's determination softened. He opened his mouth and stammered quite a number of times, but he did not say those pleading words.

He closed his eyes slowly.

"Never mind."

The aura from the old man's body gradually weakened until it was silent.

As they were greeted with the sunset glow all over the sky, the old man passed away.

Chen Xi sat silently beside the old man. She was somewhat lost. She was depressed deep within, but she did not cry. She just felt an emptiness in her heart. It was very, very empty… In front of that huge sadness, one lost the ability to react. Perhaps, it was only during those trivial matters in the days where one would suddenly become aware of what one had lost and that it would not come back forever.

For example, the photograph on the refrigerator, the tableware in the kitchen cabinet, the words left on the wall…

Chen Xi covered her face. The park was very quiet.

Li Yao looked from the side. His heart felt still.

They definitely had many stories behind them, but he did not understand. Even if he understood, he also could not empathize.

After all, life had many moments of huge sadness that even tears could not wash away.

Living was really too bitter. He had never seen it letting anyone off.

Hence, Li Yao wanted to earn money.

Actually, there were many times where earning money was not the goal.

It was just that money could give him a comfortable and secure feeling. At least when he was sad, he could sit in the first-class cabin of the UAE and cry. He could cry on the beach of Sri Lanka. He could cry below the Paris tower. He could cry beside the blue sea in Santorini… He wished that when the person he loved faced two things that he or she liked and did not know how to choose, he could say, 'Buy them all'

And not having to weigh the pros and cons there.

He wanted to let things come more easily. He wanted love to be more comfortable. This way, life could probably be a little sweeter.

The fiery clouds in the sky also gradually set.

The air was filled with coldness.

He thought for a while and turned around as he went back to the park. Chen Xi was still covering her face as she sat there. Chen Beixuan was beside her without any noise, but he was still holding onto the walking stick and supporting himself from falling. Li Yao took off his coat and put it on Chen Xi. He patted her shoulder. "I hope that you feel a little warmer."

"Goodbye."

"Yeah, goodbye."

When Li Yao walked out of the park, he felt that it should be quite late to go to the station to buy a ticket now. He simply used his cell phone and called for a ride to the provincial city.

This was the benefit of having money.

Having money would bring more choices and chances. Hence… who would mind having more money?

When Li Yao returned to his apartment, which was close to the university town, he showered and packed. He practiced meditation. The few days following that suddenly became much simpler. Lin Xiaoxi was still uncontactable. He could not find her at the dormitory. Lin Xiaowei did not go online recently. She might be on a mission again.

It was the day before the holidays ended when Li Yao's calm life was suddenly broken.

Lin Xiaoxi finally called. "F*ck Li Yao, save me d(ŐдŐ๑)!!!"
