“Yep. It’s him.”
Seeing Fu Yubai’s concern, Nan Yan recounted her meeting with Sun Chan in the Imperial Capital after she arrived there. However, she didn’t mention anything about Sun Chan taking her as his disciple or their visit to the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
It wasn’t that Nan Yan didn’t want to tell him, but his current mental state couldn’t handle anv more stress. Plus, with Fu Linfenz present, there were things she shouldn’t discuss.
After hearing her story, Fu Yubai sighed with a hint of melancholy. “Master has always thought that Sun Chan disliked him. In reality, these two have quite different personalities, but deep down, they care for each other.”
“Third Senior Brother, how about we visit Shennongjia once your injuries heal?”
“Of course, that sounds great!” Fu Yubai’s lips curved slightly. “Actually, every time Master asks us to answer the phone, you can see the longing in his eyes.
He just refuses to admit it.”
“Several times, I’ve seen him stare at your phone number and occasionally mutter to himself, saying that you haven’t visited him.”
Nan Yan’s heart was deeply touched. At this moment, she felt she had let down her master, let down all the efforts he had put into her. She suppressed the urge to return immediately and said, “Let’s make it a plan then. We’ll go together once you’re fully recovered.”
“Alright.”
Fu Yubai looked at Nan Yan, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.
After finishing the examination for Fu Yubai, Nan Yan couldn’t help but sigh softly. Given his current physical condition, he couldn’t use the T-2 drug yet. Even though the side effects of T-2 were much milder than T-1, almost negligible, its medicinal effect was still somewhat overpowering.
Fu Yubai’s body was like shattered glass, held together by a thin membrane. Any external force could potentially cause his body to shatter completely. It would take some time for him to recover sufficiently before using the medication.
Nan Yan stood up and said, “Third Senior Brother, continue with your medication. I’ll come back in three or four days.”
“Okay.”
In Old Professor Yun’s hospital room, Yun Jingshan was sitting by the bedside, feeding her some liquid food. There was a knock on the door, followed by Nan Yan entering the room.
“Doctor Nan.”
Yun Jingshan saw Nan Yan coming over. After feeding her a mouthful, he greeted her.
Old Professor Yun, who hadn’t been seen for several days, looked much better than when she first entered the hospital. Her skin, which had been pallid and lifeless, now had a more normal color, although a bit paler than a healthy person’s. Her mental state had also improved significantly. Her once-clouded eyes had regained clarity and wisdom, giving off an aura of benevolence and kindness.
She leaned against the head of the bed and politely nodded to Nan Yan, saying,
“Hello, Doctor Nan.”
“Hello.” Nan Yan nodded in return and then walked over to the bedside. “Mr.
Yun, please continue, I’ll check Old Professor Yun’s pulse.”
“Alright.” Yun Jingshan intended to continue feeding his mother, but Old Professor Yun declined, “Set it aside for now; I’ll eat later.’
Her upbringing prevented her from eating in front of guests, even if Nan Yan was a doctor.
Nan Yan pulled over a chair and sat by her bedside. Old Professor Yun extended her withered right hand to cooperate with the pulse examination.
While her condition had improved somewhat, she still appeared emaciated, as if a layer of aged bark covered her bones. Her skin was rough and wrinkled, and even her body temperature was slightly lower than normal.
Nan Yan carefully examined Old Professor Yun’s pulse. Yun Jingshan stood nervously to the side, his gaze fixed on Nan Yan’s hand resting on Old
Professor Yun’s wrist. He was so anxious that he didn’t dare to breathe.
However, Old Professor Yun remained relaxed and even smiled gently as she looked at Nan Yan.
After a few minutes, Nan Yan released her hand and looked directly at Old Professor Yun. “Old Professor Yun, I don’t want to tell you comforting lies. I’ll be straightforward.”
Old Professor Yun wore a serene expression. “Over the years, I’ve seen it all.
Besides, I know my own body. You can speak freely.”
“The cancer cells in your body have spread throughout your entire system. We’ve missed the optimal timing for surgery, so it’s impossible to completely eradicate them. What I can do is to suppress the activity of the cancer cells, preventing them from further harming your body.”
“In other words, we can only control your condition to prevent it from worsening. There’s no possibility of a full recovery.”
Old Professor Yun remained calm, unlike most people who, upon learning they had late-stage terminal illness, would feel fear and anxiety. She said gently, “Young lady, just tell me directly, how much time do I have left?” “I can strive to give you three more years.”
“That’s enough,” Old Professor Yun smiled. “Three years is more than sufficient.’
“Young lady, thank you. I thank you on behalf of our country.”
Her life was no longer her own. Her head contained too much vital information, and she possessed experiences that others did not. The experiments had reached their final stage before her body gave in.
But when she collapsed and was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, her body rapidly weakened, leading to her coma. The precious data she held couldn’t be preserved, and it would be a loss for the entire nation!
Now, the young lady before her said she could buy her three more years.
With three years, this experiment could undoubtedly be completed. Even if she died, she would have no regrets!
Nan Yan stood up. “Alright, I’ll arrange your treatment plan now, and we’ll begin the treatment this afternoon.”
After leaving Old Professor Yun’s ward, Nan Yan went directly to Tao Qingming’s office.
Tao Qingming saw her coming and greeted her with a smile, “Nan Yan, my young friend…
Nan Yan couldn’t help but interrupt him, “Elder Tao, why don’t you call me
Yanyan?”
Referring to herself as “Nan Yan, my young friend” felt awkward.
She had been hesitant to ask Tao Qingming to change her name before, but considering they would spend a lot of time together in the future, she decided to bring it up now.
Tao Qingming chuckled, “Uh… Sure, Yanyan it is then.”
Nan Yan felt more comfortable with the new address. “Elder Tao, please help me arrange an operating room. I’m going to treat Professor Yun.”
“Today?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll arrange it right away,” Tao Qingming said, getting up to leave.
“No need to rush. We’ll use it in the afternoon.
Nan Yan took out a vial of T-2 reagent from her bag. “For now, mix this reagent into the fluid Old Professor Yun will receive.”
She gave him strict instructions, “Do not add any other drugs, administer it separately.”
“Alright..”
