Chenxing didn’t laugh at his attempt to amuse her. The heavy atmosphere lingered in the air. She turned away silently to make tea for him, but when she carried the tea over, she accidentally broke the cup. Hot water splashed everywhere. Thankfully, the thick leather of her shoes protected her from getting burned.
She silently turned back to make tea again, but her hands shook uncontrollably, making it impossible to steady the cup.
The small villa remained brightly lit throughout the night.
Dark clouds hung over the sky like a raging storm. Yan Fengchi and Bai Wuqing braved the torrential rain to rush over. Everyone in the house wore expressions filled with worry and distress, except the person at the center of it all, who smiled in the face of everything.
Bai Wuqing, a man usually calm and refined, couldn’t help but roar at the experts, "What the hell is going on? Why can’t he stand up anymore? You’ve conducted countless studies, poured so much money into this—what have you even figured out?!"
Nan Baihao, his fury boiling over, pulled out a gun: "If my brother’s legs are ruined, I’ll make sure you all pay with your lives, believe ! Fix my brother’s condition imdiately! Every single one of you, co up with a solution now!"
Yan Fengchi stood beside them like a statue, completely silent, but his expression was indescribably grim.
A group of experts gathered together, their faces heavy with worry. Nan Baihao’s shouting wasn’t even necessary to convey the gravity of the situation.
They began discussing among themselves, overlapping voices:
"The cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows abnormal pressure and composition."
"Serum creatine kinase and acetylcholinesterase levels have increased significantly since the tests this afternoon."
"Let see the electromyogram!"
A series of clinical symptoms and examinations continued through the night, into the morning of the next day. Multiple rounds of testing and analysis were conducted, but in truth, the conclusion was already clear.
At last.
An undeniable reality appeared on the diagnostic report.
"Damage to the motor neurons in the joints has led to localized central paralysis in the lower limbs, occurring twenty days earlier than we anticipated!" Tian Buyu stood by the bed, shaking his head with a sigh.
Based on their initial predictions, this condition was supposed to manifest twenty days later, but it had advanced ahead of schedule. Mr. Gu’s legs wouldn’t be able to stand for the foreseeable future.
"What do we do now? Don’t give all that technical jargon—just tell what we need to do for my brother!"
"What dication, what treatnt? Na it! No matter the cost, we have the money!"
Nan Baihao was intensely agitated.
But deep down, he knew that this wasn’t a matter of money. If health could be bought, the issue wouldn’t exist in the first place!
Chenxing bit her lip hard, sitting by the bedside, her hand clasped tightly with Gu Shaocheng’s.
Her voice trembled severely as she directed her inquiry toward Tian Buyu, "Will... will Shaocheng ever be able to stand again?"
This question wasn’t hers alone; it was everyone’s question.
Suddenly, the entire room—including Yan Fengchi, Bai Wuqing, and Nan Baihao—fell silent, holding their breath. The group of experts whispered and debated for half an hour before reaching a conclusion: "If our newly developed treatnt plan is effective, Mr. Gu’s condition isn’t untreatable. At this point, there’s no more ti for deliberation. Mr. Gu, you must be admitted for treatnt imdiately. You cannot continue overexerting yourself and must rest."
"The new treatnt plan we proposed yesterday is risky and without absolute certainty, but we can only attempt the dication on you under these circumstances."
