His words were like a thunderclap that made Jian Ai forget to react. She stood there in a daze.
Wang Yunmei was also stunned. It was as if her brain had not processed this. She only said in a daze, “A… tumor?”
The doctor nodded helplessly as well. He pointed at the black and white X-ray and explained, “That’s right. It’s a tumor, which is also known as liver cancer. Moreover, your situation is not optimistic, because according to the examination results, the cancer cells in your body have started to spread.”
Jian Ai could not hear anything that the doctor said after that. Her mind was filled with thoughts of tumor and liver cancer. Her greatest wish after her rebirth was for her mother to be able to avoid liver cancer. She did not expect that she would personally face her mother’s diagnosis less than half a month after her rebirth.
This was undoubtedly a huge joke for Jian Ai. After her rebirth, she could not change anything.
After a while, Jian Ai suddenly raised her head and looked at the doctor with red eyes. “Doctor, is it still possible to treat my mother’s illness now? We can hire the best doctor and go to the best hospital!”
She couldn’t give up. That was the only voice in Jian Ai’s heart.
She could not lose her mother again. In this lifetime, she would not let this happen again.
The doctor thought for a moment, as if he did not want to personally destroy the hopes of this mother-daughter pair. He said conservatively, “With our current medical standards, there are no good treatments for liver cancer. However, I suggest that you go to the People’s Hospital for treatment. That is the best hospital in our city. If they can’t treat it, you can try the hospital in the capital.”
The doctor did not directly declare Wang Yunmei’s death sentence, but he did not say that it could be treated.
Jian Ai clenched her fists tightly and looked at the X-rays she could not understand. She was shaking faintly, as if trying her best to suppress the sadness spewing out of her body.
Finally, Jian Ai suddenly stood up, turned around, and ran out of the consultation room.
“Xiao Ai!” Wang Yunmei called, but Jian Ai had already disappeared from the door.
The doctor was already used to such scenes. He immediately looked at Wang Yunmei, who was only in her early thirties, with regret. He comforted her, “The child is still young. It’s reasonable for her to not be able to accept it for a while.”
At this moment, Wang Yunmei could only pretend to be calm. She looked at the doctor and asked, “Tell me the truth. How much longer can I live…”
The doctor thought for a moment and said, “The cancer cells have just started to spread. If they can be effectively suppressed, you should be able to survive for two to three years with surgery and chemotherapy.”
Two to three years… Wang Yunmei closed her eyes in despair and heartache. At this moment, Jian Yu’s and Jian Ai’s faces appeared in her mind.
If she died, what would happen to the two children?
Jian Ai rushed to the stairwell and quickly took out her phone to call Bai Zhou.
“Sect Master.” The call was picked up, and Bai Zhou’s voice could be heard.
Jian Ai’s chest was heaving up and down, and her emotions were fluctuating. She panted as she said into the phone, “Bai Zhou, help me…”
Her almost pleading tone made Bai Zhou frown. “Sect Master, what happened? Tell me. I’ll help you get it done.”
“My mother has cancer. I need the best doctor in the world. I…”
Jian Ai was interrupted by Bai Zhou mid-sentence. Bai Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice as if he had everything planned, “Don’t worry, Sect Master. Leave this to me. I will make sure your mother is safe and sound.”
