Chapter 41: Wrong Report?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Chen Zhao finally moved to his new house. Both Vincent and Ethan came to help Chen Zhao.

Gerlyn and Melson came as well with some presents.

They were the only friends Chen Zhao had in this country.

After a while, everyone except Gerlyn left.

They had not done it for a long time already, so they were particularly wild that night.

Gerlyn was even more decisive than Chen Zhao; perhaps most women here were like that.

They were not the kind of women that could not live without love.

Gerlyn was like this, so was Zola.

“Chen, have you thought about your future?”

“Err...” Chen Zhao was unsure about what Gerlyn was referring to. Did she want to have a long-term relationship with him?

Thus, Chen Zhao did not know what to reply. Noticing Chen Zhao’s hesitation, Gerlyn smiled at once.

“Don’t worry. I don’t mean that. I only feel that being an illegal doctor isn’t a long-term plan.”

“I have never thought about that. If one day I’m tired of it, perhaps I will consider switching to another career, or getting a medical license. I might become a legal doctor and open a clinic.”

Just then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang.

“Hello, who is?” It was already 2 a.m. Who would be so free to disrupt the happy time between Chen Zhao and Gerlyn?

“Chen, it’s me... Wright.”

“Darling, do you have insomnia?”

Chen Zhao realized that Wright’s voice was somewhat weak.

“Wright, are you sick?”

“Yes, I feel very bad... I feel like I’m dying.”

“Are you at home?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll go there now,” Chen Zhao said as he stood up.

“What is it?” Gerlyn asked.

“Can you drive me to a place? It’s Ethan’s grandmother. She might be in danger.”

“Okay.” Gerlyn did not hesitate.

“You’re still bringing Beelzebub and Raymond at this hour?”

“Err... It’s my habit. I bring them whenever I treat a patient.”

Gerlyn shook her head. She could not understand why Chen Zhao would have such a strange habit.

Nevertheless, it was not a bad one, so Gerlyn was only asking out of interest.

“Ethan, Wright seems to be in trouble. I’m on my way there now. You should come too.”

When they arrived at Wright’s house, they discovered that the door was shut tight. Chen Zhao knocked. “Wright, It’s Chen. Are you alright?”

Nobody answered. Chen Zhao knocked two more times but he still did not get a reply.

“Ethan’s grandmother might have fainted. We need to open the door by force,” Chen Zhao said.

“Stand back!” Gerlyn drew her gun and pointed it at the lock directly.

Bang!

The lock broke and the two walked into the house. They saw at once that Wright had fainted in the living room.

Chen Zhao went up immediately to check on her. Gerlyn asked, “How’s she?”

“Not good.”

Chen Zhao saw a few empty boxes scattered on the floor. Wright’s cancer medicine had already been finished.

Wright’s vital signs were very weak at the moment. After some consideration, Chen Zhao said, “Gerlyn, give me a glass of water.”

While Gerlyn was pouring the water, Chen Zhao took out the perfect crystal.

“Human, are you going to waste a perfect crystal on this dying human?”

“Her life isn’t worth this perfect crystal. Do you know that in Hell, such a crystal can be used to trade for a thousand human souls?”

“Chen, you can even use it to earn money from a billionaire. It’s not worth it to use the crystal on such a decaying body. It’s a treasure that can make severed limbs grow back.”

“Shut up.” Chen Zhao took out a mortar and put the perfect crystal in, after which he used a pestle to crush the crystal into powder form.

Just then, Gerlyn came back with a glass of water. Chen Zhao took the glass and poured the perfect crystal powder in.

Of course, he only poured a very small portion in and not everything.

The water in the glass turned black. Chen Zhao stirred the solution and then fed Wright the black liquid.

Suddenly, Ethan rushed into the house. “Chen, how’s my grandmother?”

“She is in a lot of danger. We should send her to the hospital now.”

Ethan lifted Wright up and the three put her into the car together. Then, they drove towards the hospital.

“Huh? Dr. Wright?” Noticing the three who were carrying Wright, Faur ran over immediately.

“What happened?”

“She’s sick. We received her call and sent her here.”

Faur asked the nurses on duty to send Wright into the emergency room at once. Ethan was extremely nervous and wanted to follow Wright in, but luckily he was stopped by Chen Zhao.

“Ethan, calm down.”

“How do you expect me to calm down?!”

“Shut up. This is a hospital. Don’t force me to punch you,” Chen Zhao said softly.

“I’m sorry... Chen, I shouldn’t have been angry.”

“Wright’s fine. Trust me!”

...

“Where am I?” On a bed in the emergency room, Wright woke up, but the light above her was so intense that she could hardly open her eyes.

“Professor, it’s me.”

“Faur? Am I in the hospital?”

“Yes, professor. You seem to have experienced an episode. An Asian and a fat guy sent you here. Are they your friends?”

“Yes. That fat guy is my grandson. Do they know my condition?”

“I think so. That Asian is also a doctor, an excellent one. He should have noticed it already, but I don’t know how much he knows.”

“Dr. Faur, the test report is out.”

“Give it to me,” Wright said immediately.

“Professor, you’re the patient now. I’m the doctor.”

“But I’m still your professor. You have learned all your medical knowledge from me.”

“Professor...”

“Alright, give it to me. It’s not my first time to get shocked.”

“Okay.”

Wright glanced at the test report. “You’ve taken the wrong one. My fatty acid synthase can’t be that low.”

Fatty acid synthase is an important component of cancer cells. A higher level of fatty acid synthase therefore indicates more cancer cells and a more severe condition.

However, in this report, the level of fatty acid synthase was only slightly higher than an ordinary person. It looked like a patient with a benign tumor, not Wright who had late-stage cancer.

Of course, Wright wished that this report was hers, but she knew that it was impossible.

“Molly, did you take the wrong one?”

“Sorry, I might have mistaken it. Let me check again.”

Soon, the nurse returned. “Dr. Faur, the test room says that it’s correct.”

“That’s impossible. I’ll go there myself.”

Faur was quite irritated. This was clearly a mistake. What were the test room people doing?

After all, this involved her own professor. She had done the last test, so she knew her professor’s condition very well.

To be honest, Wright would be lucky to live for even one more day.

Although she hoped that Wright could recover, she knew that it was clearly impossible with the current medical knowledge.
