Su Lanying raised her gaze and chuckled. She looked at Song Yan and asked, "Doctor Song, you seem so confident that I will recover. It's been 16 years and it's a miracle for my heart to still be beating. What if one day my heart finally decides to take a rest forever?"
"Your congenital heart disease is curable," Song Yan insisted.
"It is, but at what price?" Su Lanying asked.
"Doctor Song, you know how expensive the treatment is. Given my family's situation, it's impossible. It's already enough that I'm a burden to them—I don't want to be a burden to someone else," she added.
Song Yan was speechless. He wanted to tell her he could help, but when he looked into her clear eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Seeing the struggle in his eyes, Su Lanying smiled and reached for the bowl. After testing the temperature, she gulped down the medicine.
