Chapter 959: 692 Makes Sense (Thanks for the tip!)_2

"Is it because it wasn’t discovered earlier? Before entering the accelerated phase, patients with CML can indeed remain stable for months or even years, just like normal people."

Jiang Chen couldn’t answer the dean’s question and instead asked, "What stage is she in now?"

Holding the medical report, the dean looked down at the various data on it.

"She has already entered the accelerated phase."

Jiang Chen fell silent.

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

Even though he was accustomed to seeing life and death, the dean could still understand the feelings of the other person at this moment.

Wealth can indeed solve many problems, but sometimes in the face of illness, even money dares not claim to be omnipotent.

"General Jiang, you don’t need to be too pessimistic; there are targeted drugs for this illness. Even if she has entered the accelerated phase, we can use targeted drugs to control it and buy time for treatment," comforted the dean.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Thank you."

"Rest assured, General Jiang, we will do our utmost."

When life feels unsatisfactory, consider visiting a hospital.

Leaving the dean’s office and on his way back to the inpatient department, Jiang Chen saw a variety of patients and family members, as well as busy medical staff.

From faltering elderly to infants in arms.

On all those unfamiliar faces were expressions of panic, seriousness, anxiety, and fear...

The pervasive smell of disinfectant in the air added to the oppressiveness.

Exiting the elevator and walking through the corridor, he heard a voice coming from around the corner.

"Mom, it’s only two hundred thousand; where do businesses not need this much money nowadays? Trust me, this project was introduced to me by a senior from school, and it’s definitely reliable."

It was Wei Chuyin’s voice.

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.

"Why are you in East Sea? Mom, I’m your daughter, don’t you trust me? Do you think I would tell you if I hadn’t considered this thoroughly and investigated carefully? The principal of two hundred thousand can be recouped in at most two years, and if the money just sits there..."

"Fine, you go and discuss it with Dad, see what he says. Mom, your thinking is just too old-fashioned. Currency is constantly depreciating, only by investing can we maximize returns."

Wei Chuyin, spewing nonsense, put down her phone and breathed a deep sigh, ready to leave, when she heard footsteps from behind.

Instinctively turning around, Jiang Chen emerged from around the corner.

She paused, then clenched her phone tightly, showing an embarrassed look, and at the same time, she felt fortunate, hoping that he hadn’t heard.

"What kind of good project, why not share it with me too?"

Jiang Chen sounded quite unreasonable.

"Isn’t it a bit impolite to eavesdrop on someone’s phone call?"

Wei Chuyin barely concealed her discomfort.

"I just happened to pass by."

Jiang Chen explained calmly, without beating around the bush, he straightforwardly asked, "Are you planning to scam your family’s money to treat Ai Qian?"

Wei Chuyin’s expression tightened, and she clenched her teeth, remaining silent.

That made sense.

She had only graduated a year ago.

How much savings could she have?

Speak honestly with her family?

Two hundred thousand was not a small amount, and Wei Chuyin’s family probably wasn’t wealthy.

Perhaps the two were like sisters, but to Wei Chuyin’s family, Ai Qian was still an outsider.

There probably weren’t many parents who would be so understanding to pay for a stranger’s treatment.

"Once you’ve deceived your parents, what kind of excuse will you come up with for Ai Qian? She probably won’t be as easily fooled as your parents."

Everyone knew that if Ai Qian knew how the money was obtained, she would never accept it.

She had severed contact with everyone, precisely to avoid such situations.

"I’ll figure out a way."

Wei Chuyin said firmly.

Jiang Chen quietly watched her.

"How can I do nothing? I can’t! I’ve asked the doctor, her condition has already deteriorated, she must take a type of targeted medicine, one box of which costs eight thousand, and it only lasts for half a month! The money we have now, it’s simply not enough!"

Many people’s life savings end up being spent in hospitals.

That statement wasn’t an exaggeration.

Just now in the dean’s office, the dean also spoke of treatment plans, but about the price of the targeted drugs, the dean didn’t say, and Jiang Chen didn’t ask.

Because.

It seemed unnecessary.

But for Wei Chuyin, it was clearly a different matter.

Eight thousand a box, lasting only half a month, meaning it costs sixteen thousand for medicine alone each month.

And that’s not even considering other expenses.

Including the cost of hospital treatment, the sum might prove suffocating.

So, it’s not that many diseases can’t be cured, but that they truly cannot be afforded!

Some people seem to see only money, perhaps because they have once experienced the agony of being penniless.

There was once a news story about a mother kneeling and bowing to her three- or four-year-old child at the hospital entrance, tears streaming down her face, because she didn’t have the money for her child’s treatment.

No money.

It sounds like a light and airy phrase, seemingly unimportant, but only in real-life scenarios can one feel the powerlessness and despair it brings.

Just like now.

The cost of medication, 16 thousand a month, was already weighing heavily on Wei Chuyin’s heart.

"Then what happens when the 200,000 is spent?"

Jiang Chen asked simply.

Clearly, facing this kind of illness, 200,000, was definitely not enough.

Wei Chuyin fell silent again, then repeated, "I will figure something out."

"You are friends, and you want to help her, that’s not wrong, but you should also consider her feelings. You know that the most important thing for treatment is that she cooperates herself."

Wei Chuyin looked at him.

"Don’t worry about the money."

Jiang Chen said, "You just need to take good care of her."

Wei Chuyin’s lips tightened, her heart tumultuous.

She knew, the man before her, once her classmate, now had a fortune of astronomical amounts. The medical costs may seem insignificant to him.

But that wasn’t a reason for them to accept it with peace of mind.

The fact that he was willing to help bring Ai Qian back was already beyond benevolent.

"Consider it a loan from you..."

Wei Chuyin wanted to refuse, but it seemed she had no other choice.

"I have already spoken with Ai Qian, you don’t need to intervene."

After saying this, Jiang Chen said, "Go back, keep her company."

"You?"

"I won’t go today."

Wei Chuyin didn’t persist.

Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Wei Chuyin took a deep breath and headed back to the ward.

After completing various inspections, Ai Qian lay on the hospital bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling.

This was a special-care ward, completely furnished; it resembled a hotel room more than a hospital ward.

The cost of such a ward was probably not much less than the targeted medicines.

Hearing the door open, Ai Qian turned her head.

"Jiang Chen has gone back."

Wei Chuyin approached.

Ai Qian was not disappointed. She smiled gently.

Wei Chuyin took a chair and sat down by the bed, "... Jiang Chen said he would take care of the medical expenses."

"Mhm, we don’t have money anyways."

Ai Qian’s smile was carefree.

"Why... why is he so kind?" Wei Chuyin, who used to dislike him, suddenly realized.

"He has always been a good person and has never changed."

Ai Qian chuckled softly.

Wei Chuyin fell silent.

Yes.

Thinking back.

Even when they had not yet left school, Jiang Chen seemed to be like this, only that she hadn’t noticed it at the time.

"Jiang Chen is now quite wealthy. Just look, being able to stay in such a good ward is hard even with money, so you don’t have to worry about this anymore."

Ai Qian seemed to know what Wei Chuyin was thinking.

Wei Chuyin nodded, "With him here, you will definitely get better."

Ai Qian smiled silently, then after a while, she softly said, "Chu Yin, do you think I accumulated too much fortune in my past life, or is it because, in his past life, he did too many wrongs to me?"

Wei Chuyin was startled, then couldn’t help but chuckle.

After the laughter, Wei Chuyin looked thoughtful and spoke slowly, "It must be that he did too many wrongs to you."

Ai Qian’s eyes spelled out her question, as if asking why.

Wei Chuyin’s lips moved and she whispered, "If you had accumulated too much fortune, you probably wouldn’t have fallen ill."

"That makes sense."

Ai Qian turned her head back, again staring at the ceiling, murmuring, "Thinking about it this way, it seems much more bearable."
