Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Esophageal Cancer

Jiang Xiyue felt like she had a very long dream, dreaming that her white horse prince had transformed into a cold and aloof CEO, making it difficult for her to stand tall in front of him.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up, realizing she was sleeping in a luxurious hotel suite.

Thinking back on last night’s events, at first, she thought it was a dream, but she remembered very clearly that it definitely wasn’t a dream.

Five million?

Jiang Xiyue hurriedly grabbed her phone and saw that at 9:45, she had received a text message from the bank, confirming that her bank account indeed had an additional five million.

It really is five million?

She thought of her junior apprentice, Ye Qiu, from last night.

She opened her phone contacts, quickly found Ye Qiu’s name, then contemplated for a while before dialing Ye Qiu’s phone number.

Ye Qiu returned from the hotel, took a shower, and instead of continuing cultivation, he directly lay down to sleep.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and when he took it out to see, it was an unfamiliar number.

"This is Ye Qiu."

"That money has arrived."

Jiang Xiyue said.

"Got it."

Ye Qiu directly hung up the phone.

He still seemed as cold and aloof as last night, but to Jiang Xiyue, it seemed he wasn’t greedy for her looks. Moreover, he kept his word, and most importantly, he directly gave her such a large sum of money without fearing she would run away.

What kind of man is this young man?

Jiang Xiyue began to feel a bit curious.

However, thinking of her mother in the hospital, Jiang Xiyue knew she couldn’t hesitate anymore after getting the life-saving money. She hurriedly got up, washed, and then put on the dress from last night.

She grabbed her bag from the luxurious suite, took the elevator downstairs, and when she arrived at the front desk to check out, the front desk clerk spoke into an earpiece calling the cleaning staff auntie to check the room condition.

"Miss Jiang, please wait a moment."

About five minutes later, the cleaning auntie replied, "Room 807 is missing seven condoms!"

Missing seven condoms?

A night of seven rounds?

The female front desk clerk looked at the beauty in front of her in disbelief.

Jiang Xiyue didn’t know what was happening.

She saw the strange smile on the face of the female front desk clerk.

"Miss Jiang, here’s your deposit back. Due to the missing seven condoms, we’ll consider it as missing one pack, and the rest will be refunded to you."

Jiang Xiyue was even more surprised upon hearing this.

She hadn’t done anything last night, and Ye Qiu had left long ago?

Suddenly, she thought Ye Qiu must have been joking with her.

Now she could only smile through the female clerk’s grin as she took the remaining deposit and hurriedly headed outside.

"This Miss Jiang is really impressive. She can still run so fast now!"

The female front desk clerk was understandably a bit astonished.

Jiang Xiyue clicked her high heels outside the hotel, feeling increasingly amused and awkward. She knew it must have been during her bath last night that Ye Qiu deliberately took seven condoms, and she hadn’t noticed at all.

Certainly, she couldn’t have paid attention to those.

At this moment, she felt that Ye Qiu wasn’t just cold and aloof; he seemed even more inscrutable.

"Driver, to Jinling Affiliated Hospital, please."

Jiang Xiyue flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, speaking urgently.

"So urgent, huh, beauty?"

The taxi driver asked curiously.

Seeing her just come out of the hotel and being in such a hurry, he thought something might have happened.

As the taxi driver drove to Jinling Affiliated Hospital, upon arrival at the hospital’s entrance, Jiang Xiyue paid the fare and hurried into the hospital with her bag.

Her mother had been sick for many days, long awaiting this sum for urgent surgery, but they hadn’t been able to raise the money. They had no choice but to use this method.

However, it was under these circumstances that Jiang Xiyue had luckily encountered Ye Qiu and got the money.

Jiang Xiyue rushed to an ordinary ward, hurried inside, and quickly approached a simple hospital bed. Her mother was currently maintaining treatment with only some medicinal fluids due to a lack of money for proper treatment.

She had borrowed from former classmates, friends, and relatives, everyone willing to lend, but couldn’t borrow any more.

Having just graduated, with a low salary, she truly had no other options in such a situation.

Looking at her mother lying on the hospital bed, already skinny to the bone, eyes sunken, originally not yet fifty, now looked like she was sixty or seventy.

"Mom."

Jiang Xiyue held Zhu Guiyue’s wrist.

Zhu Guiyue was still receiving an IV drip and had passed out.

Jiang Xiyue left the hospital room; she needed to find the attending doctor to discuss the upcoming chemotherapy or radiotherapy for her mother.

Certainly, surgical treatment might also be necessary.

When Jiang Xiyue entered the attending doctor’s office, Doctor Wang Cheng was currently treating a patient.

After that patient was seen, Jiang Xiyue said, "Director Wang, I’ve prepared the money. What’s the next step for my mom’s surgery treatment?"

"Miss Jiang, have you prepared the surgery fees? It’s at least three hundred thousand for the preliminary stage, and later it could be several hundred thousand more if chemotherapy and radiotherapy are done simultaneously. The price will be even higher."

"I understand."

Because Zhu Guiyue hadn’t acquired local health insurance, and they hadn’t bought it in the countryside either, under these circumstances, naturally, there was not a penny reimbursed; it all had to be borne by herself.

The preliminary surgical treatment of about three hundred thousand, in this regard, Jiang Xiyue had already known, regarding the following radiotherapy and chemotherapy, each time at least could be tens of thousands.

Plus the hospitalization fees, medication expenses, and caregiving costs, altogether quite a considerable amount.

"Director Wang, will my mom suffer greatly during all this?"

"That’s quite normal; your mom is in the mid-to-late stages of esophageal cancer. There is still some hope for treatment, but of course, the treatment process will be painful, and right now it is rather painful. However, I might have a bit of hope, able to extend her life."

As a doctor, Wang Cheng was surely aware.

In cases like Jiang Xiyue’s mother’s, treating still ends in death, not treating also ends in death; it’s just a matter of duration.

Ordinary people covering those medical expenses can only await death.

Wealthy people endure the pain waiting for death too.

"When will we start my mom’s surgery treatment?"

"I’ll first examine your mom’s condition and assess how risky the surgery is. If it’s infeasible, then we can only proceed through chemotherapy or radiotherapy in multiple stages."

As Wang Cheng walked out of the office and joined Jiang Xiyue at the hospital ward, currently, Zhu Guiyue’s situation had not yet undergone surgery nor chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Otherwise, Zhu Guiyue would have already lost all her hair.

But right now, Zhu Guiyue’s hair was only partly black and white, with some falling out, not entirely bald.
