Wu Feier still didn't believe that Chen Xiao was a good doctor, and Chen Xiao stopped explaining.

After all, such things couldn't be proved by words alone; personal proof was needed.

He changed the subject and asked, "But did you find a treatment method by borrowing so much money? As far as I know, there is no specific medicine for this disease."

Wu Feier didn't directly answer Chen Xiao's question, but instead asked him, "Do you still remember Zhao Xiaobo?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I remember. Do I look that forgetful?"

The Zhao Xiaobo that Wu Feier mentioned was also their classmate.

He was a silent person with a low presence, so Wu Feier asked Chen Xiao if he still remembered him.

Wu Feier smiled and continued, "He is now a medical representative for Kangxing Company. He said that Kangxing Company has a special targeted drug specifically for treating lung tumors."

"It is said to have significant therapeutic effects, with a cure rate of over 80 percent, but it's just too expensive. One course of treatment costs one million."

Chen Xiao said in surprise, "Zhao Xiaobo is something else! He can become a medical representative of Kangxing Company; he can be considered to have turned over a new leaf!"

Kangxing Company is an internationally renowned biopharmaceutical company headquartered in the US.

Kangxing Company is an oligopoly-level existence in the biopharmaceutical field.

And Zhao Xiaobo, when he was in college, could be called Chen Xiao's brother in hardship.

Chen Xiao's family conditions were already so poor, but he was not the poorest in the class, because the poorest spot was occupied by Zhao Xiaobo all year round.

Now that Zhao Xiaobo has become a medical representative of Kangxing Company, his annual salary is at least one million.

So Chen Xiao said that he turned over a new leaf, absolutely nothing could be more appropriate.

Chen Xiao was sincerely happy for this old classmate, but he was skeptical of Wu Feier's words.

"But how come I've never heard of Kangxing Company having any special medicine for treating lung cancer?"

If it was really as Wu Feier said, and this special medicine could achieve a cure rate of more than 80 percent for cancer, then it would be enough to be called a world-changing drug.

Wu Feier replied, "Actually, this drug is still in the testing phase and has not been launched yet. Zhao Xiaobo said he could buy it by relying on his connections."

Chen Xiao nodded, pretending to be enlightened.

But in reality, his suspicion was growing heavier.

He always felt that Wu Feier might have been deceived.

Although she also graduated from medical school, in the face of such a near-terminal illness, even the most rational person would probably resort to desperate measures.

Chen Xiao suggested, "Feier, how about this? Tomorrow, you make an appointment with Zhao Xiaobo, and have him bring the special medicine with him. I'll bring the money to find you."

Wu Feier naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiao asked again, "I wonder which hospital your aunt is hospitalized in? Let's meet at the hospital."

Wu Feier said somewhat embarrassedly, "My mom is not hospitalized; she's at home. This way, it's convenient for me to take care of her, and it can also save money."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Well, then I'll go to you tomorrow."

After they discussed it, Chen Xiao drove Wu Feier home, and also got familiar with the location of Wu Feier's house.

Little did he know that Wu Feier felt a little distressed, regretting the room she had booked.

That was a river-view room in a five-star hotel, costing several thousand yuan a night!

However, whether she regretted the few thousand yuan, or regretted other things, perhaps even she herself couldn't tell.

...

The next morning, Chen Xiao went to the hospital first after getting up.

He clocked in and signed in, and then slipped away directly.

After all, his position was assistant to the director, but now that the director was gone, he had nothing to do in the hospital.

Rather than wasting time idly in the hospital, it would be better to go out and do something serious.

On the other side, Wu Feier also got up early as usual.

She first made breakfast, and then helped her mother wash and dress.

Wu's mother was already so ill that she couldn't take care of herself, and just from her appearance, one could tell that she was terminally ill.

She was emaciated, her eye sockets were sunken, her face was bloodless, and her hair had fallen out due to chemotherapy.

Constantly tormented by pain, she seemed to be numb, her eyes empty.

She cooperated with her daughter like a puppet.

Until after eating breakfast, she found that her daughter did not rush to work as usual.

So she asked, "Feier, why aren't you going to work today? Is the unit on holiday?"

In order to earn more money to see a doctor for her mother, Wu Feier worked almost all year round.

Except for the days when she had to take her mother to the hospital, she was working and working overtime like crazy.

Wu Feier thought for a while and said, "Two classmates are coming to visit today. They are both doctors and want to help you see a doctor."

Wu's mother asked weakly, "Male classmates, or female classmates?"

"Two male classmates."

"Oh..."

Wu's mother nodded, as if talking to herself,

"You're not young anymore, it's time to find someone to marry..."

Wu Feier smiled wryly and explained, "Mom, they and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think."

Wu's mother sighed, "Alas, it's Mom who has delayed you."

Wu Feier quickly comforted her mother, "Mom, what are you talking about? What delay or no delay!"

Wu Feier had no father since she was a child, and depended on her mother for life.

Just like Chen Xiao and his mother, the relationship between this mother and daughter was also extremely deep.

Wu's mother said intermittently,

"Mom has made things too difficult for you these past few years. You are so young and so beautiful, but you don't have your own life because of taking care of me, and you can't even date."

"Feier, why don't you give up, leave Mom alone, and let Mom live and die on her own, okay?"

"I've had enough of this painful life, and it's better to get rid of it sooner rather than linger on like this..."

As soon as Wu Feier heard this, she became anxious, threw herself beside her mother, and held her mother's withered hand.

"Mom, don't even think about this kind of thing in the future. I will never give up on you. You must also try to hold on and let us overcome the illness together!"

Tears welled up in Wu's mother's eyes: "Silly child, why are you doing this..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Feier quickly helped her mother wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then went to open the door.

When she opened the door, Zhao Xiaobo was the first to arrive.

For some reason, after seeing that the person standing outside the door was not Chen Xiao, Wu Feier felt a little lost in her heart.

But she still greeted him with a smile, "Xiaobo, you're here, please come in!"

Before Zhao Xiaobo entered the door, his eyes had already swept around Wu Feier's house.

Although Zhao Xiaobo's contact with Wu Feier had become more frequent recently because of Wu's mother's illness, today was still the first time he had come to Wu's house.

After confirming that there were no traces of any men in the room, he walked in and said with excitement:

"Feier, you have to thank me properly this time. I brought you good news today!"
