Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Complications! (4/5)_1

As Chen Mo continued to consume Energy recklessly, his Flying speed was astonishing. In less than five minutes, he arrived at the Fengze City Municipal Hospital Branch II, a place that would normally take over an hour to reach by car.

As Chen Mo landed with Liu Yiyi, the people around did not react unusually.

Although it was uncommon for someone as young as Chen Mo to be capable of Flying, there were quite a few young, powerful second-transition individuals. Not all professionals were middle-aged.

Those who did not recognize him simply thought of him as an ordinary second-transition expert.

Following the information on Liu Yiyi’s phone, they quickly arrived at the inpatient department.

At this time, a woman who looked to be in her forties was sitting by a hospital bed with a worried expression, and the grandfather was already unconscious.

"Grandma, how’s Grandpa?" Chen Mo immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Mo, I told you not to come..."

"Don’t worry, Grandma. I passed my test and did well, so don’t worry about me. What’s really important now is Grandpa’s condition."

"Your grandfather is suffering from a disease called Soul Devouring Bacteria. The doctor said this bacteria only infects lifestyle professionals. In serious cases, it can be lethal. Furthermore, those who die from this bacteria can’t be resurrected, just like professionals who die of old age."

"The Soul Devouring Bacteria? How could Father suddenly get this terrible disease?" Liu Yiyi asked, tears brimming in her eyes.

She had been away for so long, and this was the first time in many years she had seen her father. But the reunion took place while her father was unconscious, causing her to cry uncontrollably.

"It’s all because of that damned old man! He went fishing with some people a while ago. They didn’t catch any fish, and all of his fishing companions contracted the same disease," Grandma said, sighing helplessly and shaking her head.

"Did the doctor say how to treat it?" Chen Mo immediately asked.

This was no time for sorrow and worry; the priority was to find a treatment method promptly.

"Yes, but the medicine is expensive, and it’s not a quick fix. It requires a long period of continuous medication..."

Grandma suddenly fell silent. This was precisely when Chen Mo, their family’s only combat professional, needed money the most. Not only did they have no money to support him, but they might even need to use Liu Yiyi’s money for the medical treatment. She really couldn’t bring herself to say it.

She couldn’t help but recall what her husband had said before he fell ill.

"Mo is at the age to awaken his profession now. He’ll need plenty of money in the future. Yiyi never accepted my money in the past, but now, for the child’s future, I can’t listen to her anymore.

"My dear, we old folks don’t need much money. Let’s give it all to Mo to build his foundation."

Even after falling ill, her husband still put Chen Mo first.

"My dear, it seems my illness is serious. If it’s some kind of costly major illness, we might as well not treat it. We can’t delay the child’s future because of me, this useless old man. The family’s money should still be used to support Mo’s growth, understand!"

After insisting on these words, Grandpa fell into a deep coma.

Every time she recalled his words, she wondered if she should continue speaking.

"As long as there’s a cure, that’s good. Let’s go ahead and pay so the doctors can start the treatment."

"Silly child, this medicine is extremely expensive." Grandma looked helplessly at Chen Mo’s innocent face and smiled. The boy has a kind heart, but he doesn’t understand the difficulty.

At this point, Liu Yiyi was also caught in a dilemma. On one side was her future, on the other, his life. It seemed neither could be sacrificed. But this was her father; she couldn’t possibly not save him. She actually had no other choice; she had to save her father’s life. But she was afraid that if she said so, it would hurt Chen Mo. What if he thought she didn’t consider his future because he was her adopted son? Although she knew Chen Mo was a good, sensible kid and probably wouldn’t misunderstand... However, everyone was still worried.

At this moment, a nurse walked in.

"Bed No. 9 needs medication."

Then, she turned to Grandma and said, "Auntie, this medicine can only delay the onset of the disease, and it’s not cheap. Relying solely on this medicine isn’t a solution; it’s like throwing money down the drain. It’s best to pay quickly so we can start proper treatment.

"Moreover, this is a four-person ward. With this kind of disease here, no one else dares to come in, which strains our medical resources. You should try to find a way to move to a private VIP room."

"Sigh." Grandma sighed. She had so much on her mind but couldn’t utter a word. They didn’t even have money for medicine, let alone a VIP ward.

"Doesn’t your family have a combat professional? You should be able to scrape together some money for the initial treatment costs, right?"

"’Hello, Nurse. Please change the medication for us. We want the medicine that can provide a cure,’ Chen Mo said immediately to the nurse."

This nurse seems to mean well, Chen Mo thought, but there’s a sense of mockery in her words. She knows we can’t afford the medicine, yet she recommended a VIP ward. Plus, her entire speech essentially said: if you don’t have money, don’t even bother getting treatment here; you’re just wasting our medical resources. Naturally, Chen Mo couldn’t bear to listen any longer.

"’Alright. Once you’ve paid, I’ll change it for you.’ The nurse clearly didn’t think Chen Mo could afford the payment. As soon as this family came in, she could tell their standard of living."

"How much is the fee?" Chen Mo asked calmly, ignoring her attitude.

"One course is seven days, and the cost is 10,000,000. A total of four courses of treatment are needed, amounting to 40,000,000. Then, this must be combined with a potent medicine costing 30,000,000 to achieve a complete cure.

"Let me be clear with you: these medicines are quite difficult to prepare, and we are not overcharging. So, all in all, the total cost needed is 70,000,000."

Hearing this astronomical figure, Liu Yiyi almost fainted. Fortunately, as professionals generally have higher tolerance levels, she managed to stay conscious. However, she still felt dizzy and sank heavily onto the bed. Where could she possibly get such a huge sum of money?

Seeing her reaction, the nurse immediately showed an unsurprised expression. "You can also choose to take only one course first," she said. "With one course of medicine, the disease can be delayed for at least a month, giving you time to slowly raise the money."

"No need. We’ll pay in full now. Here is the fee," Chen Mo said, taking out 70 silver coins and placing them on the nurse’s tray.

After placing them down, Chen Mo expressionlessly took out another 10 silver coins and said, "Besides my grandfather’s treatment, please also arrange a full body checkup for my grandmother. She’ll definitely be staying here for the next few days. Use the remaining money to move us to a private VIP room. I don’t want anyone disturbing their rest. Are 10 silver coins enough? If not, I can add more!"
