Chi Zeyao, who was lying on his sickbed, felt very guilty. After all, he did not expect his body to be so weak. He had gone to check on an important construction site. Coincidentally, he had bad luck and the temperature outside dropped rapidly that day, and he ended up like this.
“Dad, I’m sorry to have made you worry.” Chi Zeyao’s attitude was as amiable as ever. The old master wanted to reprimand him, but he could not find the heart to.
However, since he was fine, the old master was relieved.
“Since it’s nothing serious, Nuannuan, I’ll leave you to watch over your Second Uncle. I’ll go down to accompany your Grandpa.”
“Okay.” Nangong Nuannuan nodded.
After Grandpa Chi left, Chi Zeyao turned to Nangong Nuannuan. “Little Girl, am I going to die?”
“I won’t, Second Uncle.” Seeing Chi Zeyao like this, Nuannuan felt terrible.
“You don’t have to console me. I know my own body. Since yesterday afternoon, I’ve been peeing blood and my back hurts. The doctor said that once my organs start to fail, I’ll have to receive transplants. This morning, I’ve already gotten someone to draft a will to transfer Shengyang Group to Chi Yang. If I’m not around, can you… promise me that you’ll take good care of my father?”
“Second Uncle, taking care of Grandpa is my responsibility. However, don’t worry. I’ve told you before that you’ll be fine, so you’ll definitely be fine. You’re peeing blood right now because your kidney is starting to fail, but I’ll apply acupuncture on you to extend your kidney’s lifespan. However, you must undergo surgery. On the other hand, I’ll also intensify my studies in the field of surgery. Second Uncle, if you believe me, I hope that when the time comes, you’ll agree to let me perform the surgery for you. I hope to replace all your damaged organs in one single surgery. After that, I’ll help you recuperate. As long as you listen to me, you can live for another thirty to fifty years, not just three to five.”
Chi Zeyao was stunned.
He was already 54 years old. If he lived on for another thirty to fifty years, would he not be 80 to 100 years old?
This… was no different from dying of old age!
“Rea… really?”
“Of course!” Nuannuan grinned and said, “What’s the point of lying to Second Uncle? None. So, don’t worry and listen to me. Be an obedient patient for the next year, okay? In the future, you have to report to me when you go out. You should only go out after obtaining my approval, okay?”
Chi Zeyao smiled weakly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’m really sorry this time.”
“It’s nothing. Just don’t be so careless anymore.”
“Mm.”
He really wanted to thank Nuannuan, but since she said that they were family and that there was no need to thank her, Chi Zeyao swallowed his gratitude.
“Second Uncle, I need to insert a needle into your back. I’ll support you, so turn over.”
“Okay.”
“You’ll feel like peeing when the time comes, so don’t hold it in. You must tell me. You can still move when the needle is in you.”
“…okay.” Although he was a little embarrassed, he had no choice. It was a matter of life and death, so he agreed.
This time, the acupuncture took a long time. Old Master Chi returned to check on them two or three times already. He was initially very worried, but when he saw blood gradually returning to Chi Zeyao’s initially pale face, he was soon relieved.
This time, inserting needles and thread embedding took two hours.
At first, Chi Zeyao wanted to go to the toilet, but he was too embarrassed to say so. He tried his best to hold it in.
