That night.
News of District Party Committee Geng Yuehua having late-stage cancer had spread. Everyone was shocked.
“How is this possible?”
“Secretary Geng….”
“Lung cancer… this….”
“Sigh…. Heaven is jealous of her looks.”
News of Geng Yuehua’s sudden illness was more shocking than Wang Anshi retiring. It will be a heavy blow to Nan Shan District if Secretary Geng dies. Many government staff called the Second Hospital to confirm this piece of news. Many Leaders rushed to the hospital to visit her.
Everyone knows Geng Yuehua was not going to make it.
She has one month to live at most.
After 10 pm.
Usually, the hospital will be quiet as most patients have gone to bed at this time. Most of the doctors and nurses would have reported off. But today was different. The corridors were filled with footsteps, and the hospital compound was full of Nan Shan District Government vehicles. Geng Yuehua is Nan Shan District’s No. 1, and her health will affect the district’s stability.
Inside a ward.
Dong Xuebing stood by the window, looking out without saying anything.
This should be the reason why Geng Yuehua did not get married. She must have discovered she had cancer long ago and will not live long. Dong Xuebing can’t imagine how she has lived in the past few months. She knows she is going to die, and it must be scary. She hid it well and did not show or tell anyone. She used her remaining time at work to help Nan Shan District’s residents. No wonder she had been working hard every day. She was devoting all her time to the people. Dong Xuebing was impressed with her determination and willpower.
Yuehua is going to die….
No! This must not happen! I must save her!
Dong Xuebing showed his determination. He will not allow Geng Yuehua to die. He had never been so glad to have a special power. There’s still hope to save her with his power.
“Doctor! Doctor!” Dong Xuebing shouted. “Come here.”
A doctor entered Dong Xuebing’s ward after a while. “Director Dong, are you not feeling well?”
“I am fine.” Dong Xuebing pulled a chair over. “Have a seat. I got something to ask you.”
The Doctor hesitated for a while and sat down. “Don’t mention it. What do you want to know?”
Dong Xuebing looked at the Doctor. “It is about Secretary Geng. Is it true that she only has one month left?”
The Doctor sighed. “If the car accident was not that serious, she would have around one to two months to live. But after her operation, her body condition was horrible. The worst scenario is she might not last more than two weeks. Maybe it’s not even one week.”
Dong Xuebing’s heart sank. “When did her condition start?”
The Doctor replied. “She discovered she has cancer around six months ago, and it was already late-stage.”
“No. I mean, when did she first get cancer? How long before was it?”
“Are you talking about early-stage cancer?” The Doctor thought for a while. “By estimation, it should be between one to two years ago. But early-stage cancer’s symptoms are not obvious. The doctors might not have discovered it if she had gone to the hospital then.
One year plus….
Make it two years. There should still be enough time.
Dong Xuebing had accumulated his power for many days. Although he did not have sixty minutes, he still had around forty minutes. Suppose one second of REVERSE can return a target’s condition by one day. That means two years only require slightly less than twenty minutes of REVERSE.
It’s possible.
I can save her.
Dong Xuebing decided and was relieved. But he noticed another problem. “Doctor, Secretary Geng does not smoke and seldom drinks. Why did she have lung cancer? How did it happen?” If he could not find the cause, she would still have cancer even if her body condition had returned two years ago. This happened when Dong Xuebing treated Wang Anshi’s appendicitis. It will still happen after REVERSE is used. Time is not omnipotent. He got to find the root cause.
“How did it happen?” The Doctor smiled wearily. “I can’t give you an answer. Until today, we can’t find the exact cause of cancer. Most patients should take note of the following. Smoking and drinking will increase the risk of lung cancer. Second-hand smoke is also dangerous. Another reason is genetics. If her family has a history of cancer, she might also inherit the cancer genes. Lastly is overwork and irregular rest.”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and asked. “If someone has good resting habits and avoids second-hand smoke, can he prevent getting lung cancer?”
“It is not 100%.” The Doctor replied. “I said earlier that the medical field still has not found the exact cause of cancer.”
“That means prevention methods are useless?”
“Hmmm…. Not really.” The Doctor replied. “Many commoners believe grape seeds can prevent cancer. We also know wild ginseng and meat Lingzhi is the best medication against cancer. These are useful even if the cancer cells are developed. If someone ate wild ginseng and meat Lingzhi over a period, I think it can prevent cancer cells from developing. But it is too expensive. Most people could not afford it. Wild ginseng costs tens to hundreds of thousands. Meat Lingzhi cost as much as wild ginseng. Furthermore, these are rare.”
“I know. Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it. I am going back to work. Call the nurses if you need anything.”
Wild ginseng and meat Lingzhi?!
Money is not a problem for Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing felt more confident in saving Geng Yuehua after asking the Doctor.
I will REVERSE Yuehua’s body condition and buy her a few million RMB worth of wild ginseng and meat Lingzhi! I will make her eat them as snacks. I don’t believe she will get cancer again!
