Chapter 232: Don’t Give Up
Gu Yan didn’t know Chen Yuan had been overanalyzing things.
By the time her hands made contact with his wrist, she had already sent out the silver light. It was currently moving around his shoulder.
“Malicious tumor in the blood production system… This was leukemia.”
Gu Yan frowned. Developing a disease like his in this era was equivalent to a death sentence.
She pitied him a little.
Gu Yan recalled a memory from last autumn. Back then, Chen Yuan and Xu Wangshan came into her life. They took her away from the small village, paving the road for her better future.
Chen Yuan’s sincereness and friendliness put her at ease.
Yet, a warm person like him was about to leave the world. Gu Yan bit her lips.
Seeing Gu Yan retract her hand, Chen Yuan smiled it off. He then said with a comforting tone, “It’s fine. My condition is a bit troublesome. I have already consulted many doctors, so I know…”
“Chen Yuan, do you trust me?” Gu Yan squeezed Chen Yuan’s hand.
If Xie Luan needed nearly a year to recover, Chen Yuan would require two years.
Of course, the frequency of contact had to be fixed at once a month.
Chen Yuan wanted to respond but soon found the words stuck at his throat. His eyes wandered to the hand held by Gu Yan…
This scene…
It appeared as though a similar thing happened when they first met each other.
It was just that his mindset had changed drastically since then.
The Chen Yuan of last autumn wasn’t aware his days would be soon numbered.
He didn’t expect to fall in love with Gu Yan either.
Bitterness, unwillingness, despair…
Myriad of emotions surged up within his heart. Nevertheless, Chen Yuan knew he couldn’t reveal anything at all.
“Gu Yan, my condition…”
“Chen Yuan, listen to me, I know a home remedy that could help you out. It would require a lot of herbs, specifically this one. If you can supply some to me, I will prepare your cure at home. I have to apologize though. It is my own secret recipe, so I cannot reveal it to you. After I finish making it, you can try its effectiveness. Will that be alright?”
Gu Yan took back her hand but looked eagerly at Chen Yuan.
During this time, a middle-aged man rushed over to join the conversation. His features resembled Chen Yuan. He appeared quite thrilled.
“Female Comrade, are you saying your home remedy can cure Yuan?”
Chen Yuan frowned. “Dad…”
Gu Yan quickly realized his identity. He was Chen Yuan’s father, the owner of the pharmacy.
Gu Yan affirmed, “I have learned quite a few things from a doctor before. He once mentioned a condition similar to Chen Yuan’s. Don’t stop Chen Yuan’s treatment now. You can simply consider my method as a supplement. Either way, Chen Yuan, you should have faith in yourself. Don’t give up! As long as you hold on, your condition will surely have high chances of improving!”
Chen Yuan looked dazedly at Gu Yan.
‘As long as I don’t give up, would I still have a chance to… love you?’
Chen Yuan felt the rise of strong emotions in his heart.
His father immediately said, “Alright then, we’ll provide as many herbs as we can! We won’t give up even if there’s only a sliver of hope!”
