Yi Juncheng smiled and replied softly, “Okay.”
His voice was like a small ripple on the lake.
It was always a wonderful feeling to be missed, especially by this little girl he valued more than his life.
He was still half-kneeling. Sheng Yang was sitting in a chair. He leaned over and kissed her forehead.
He smelled of sunlight mixed with peppermint leaves and a faint scent of ambergris. It was pleasant and a scent unique to him.
He looked straight at her and said gently, “Yangyang, it’s almost over.”

Kai De Medical Association—
At this moment, a few seniors were assigning tasks to the major hospitals. Recently, a city had just suffered a disaster. After the disaster, there would definitely be a major epidemic. This was because there were many dead animals and plants in the water. Once mixed together, the water would become a fatal source of infection.
As the city with the most tertiary A-grade hospitals and the most concentrated medical resources in the country, Imperial Capital should naturally take the lead.
However, they were only making preparations in advance. They might not be involved.
At this moment, a person hurried in. It was the assistant of Kai De Medical Association. He did not belong to the medical association and was only hired to assist these big shots in their affairs. The moment he entered, he immediately said excitedly, “Everyone, I have something very important to say.”
Everyone stopped at once, and they were all ears.
“Teng Hua has invented another new drug. It’s divided into A and B. Both are used in children’s alpha diseases. A is for prevention and B is for treatment.”
It was well known that although the population of children with alpha disease was not high, and it was only a rare disease, it was still a severe condition that could make families fall into despair.
Alpha disease was a neuronal mutation. In the growth and development of a child, it would gradually hinder the division of the child’s nerve cells, causing the child to gradually lose the ability to walk and speak normally. It could not be cured, so one could only spend a lot of money and energy to improve the condition by a little. It would torture the child and their family to the point of death.
But this illness wouldn’t affect longevity or health. Some time ago, a child named Star had made the news. She was sensible and saw how much her parents had sacrificed for her just for the small possibility of improving her condition. Tears streamed down her face as she volunteered, “Mom and Dad, can I be euthanized?”
The child’s mother was instantly angry. “Where did you hear all this?”
“No one told me.” She blinked her big eyes with incomparable kindness. “I just remember that those dogs suffering in vets can be euthanized. Can I do the same? Mom, it’s so painful for me to be alive…”
The moment she called out ‘Mom’, the heart of the child’s mother turned brittle. In an instant, her parents hugged her and pulled her into their arms. However, the child was still talking intermittently, “Mom, Dad, you’re the best parents in the world. The stars don’t want you to be lonely. When I die, you can give birth to another child to accompany you. I’ll bless my sibling’s health from the heavens. They won’t be like me…”
The entire documentary was very depressing and uncomfortable to watch.
It also made known this rare disease.
But so many powerful doctors from before were helpless in the face of this disease, so how could they have any solution for it?
At that time, a few of the big shots in the city had also discussed it. In the end, it all came to nothing.
It was not just because they were helpless but because their psychological baggage was heavy. What if…
