Chapter 407: Chapter 402: Xia Family Treats Illness (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

In the distant Xia Family residence, cries of sorrow filled the air, tugging at everyone’s heartstrings.

“Tianxiong, don’t die. If you leave, what will Shiyun and I do!!”

“Open your eyes and look at me!!”

“Tianxiong…”

Before a sickbed, knelt a beautiful woman, though weathered by time, she still retained her charm, bearing some resemblance to Xia Shiyun. She must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.

She cried bitterly, her throat hoarse and her eyes extremely swollen. Staying up all night had left her on the verge of collapse.

“Mom, please get up. I’ve found a way to save Dad.”

“You haven’t gotten up for a whole day and night. You haven’t eaten or drunk anything. Your daughter is worried sick.”

“Come on, drink this bowl of porridge.”

With a loud bang, the door of the hospital room was yanked open. A woman rushed in, holding a bowl of steaming white porridge, and spoke worriedly to the beautiful woman.

“Shiyun, is it true?”

“Is your dad saved?!!!”

The beautiful woman was indeed Xia Shiyun’s mother, Shen Jiaxue, Xia Tianxiong’s wife. At this moment, her eyes widened as she grasped Xia Shiyun’s shoulders, speaking excitedly.

“Yes!!”

Xia Shiyun nodded emphatically, her eyes reassuring Shen Jiaxue, feeding her mother porridge with a spoon.

As soon as Xia Shiyun finished her sentence, a tall boy with gold-rimmed glasses beside her advised, “Cousin Shiyun, I heard you went to Kunlun Mountain searching for medicine again. Can’t you tell if you’ve met a fraud? If a thousand-year-old Snow Lotus could cure all diseases, it would have been snatched up long ago!

“Your dad has terminal cancer; even an Immortal can’t save him. Stop believing in these supernatural things and let nature take its course!”

“I’ve hired the world’s top cancer team, and they’ll be here tomorrow to operate on Uncle. Don’t believe in those tricksters at a time like this.”

“Besides, Divine Doctor Lin is a pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Huaxia. He said Uncle wouldn’t last a few days. You should stop making a fuss!”

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses adjusted his glasses haughtily and continued to speak.

“Shut up!!”

“Xia Hou, my dad’s matters are none of your business!!”

“These people you hired took the money and proved useless, treating him for so long with no progress.”

Xia Shiyun glared at Xia Hou with disgust, shouting loudly, then continued to feed porridge to Shen Jiaxue.

The man on the bed, wearing a respirator, was barely clinging to life, his forehead dark.

This was Xia Shiyun’s father, Xia Tianxiong, lying there receiving an IV drip, his eyes tightly shut and lips purple. His body was as thin as a skeleton, utterly devoid of vitality.

He was a man who had one foot in the Ghost Gate, beyond the rescue of mortal medical skills!

One could even sense the Death Qi around him, almost filling his chest. Once it reached his head, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save him.

“Lady Xia, if your father’s surgery succeeds tomorrow, he might live for another week.”

“Otherwise, prepare for his last rites tonight!”

Suddenly, an old man in a white coat, who had been taking Xia Tianxiong’s pulse, stood up abruptly, shook his head, and sighed.

Hearing the old man’s words, Shen Jiaxue’s hands trembled, and the bowl of porridge fell to the floor.

Shen Jiaxue approached Xia Shiyun, crying and clinging to her tightly, sobbing, “Shiyun, is it true what Divine Doctor Lin said, that Tianxiong has little time left?

“If Tianxiong dies, what’s the point of me being alive?!”

Xia Shiyun’s eyes blazed with rage, her teeth clenched tightly.

Before going to Kunlun Mountain, she had clearly conspired with Divine Doctor Lin, telling him not to say anything!

But what was happening now? This left her completely unprepared!

Seeing Xia Shiyun’s expression, Divine Doctor Lin stood up with self-righteousness, admitting, “Lady Xia, I apologize. Though I understand it’s very difficult for a child, I cannot accept money in such a case. This concerns a human life, and we doctors must be responsible for our words.”

“You…”

Xia Shiyun was about to explode with rage!

This old guy was too despicable. It wasn’t just a matter of money. To shut Divine Doctor Lin’s mouth, she had spent billions at an auction buying many top-grade medicinal herbs as gifts for him. Now, he was only mentioning money and not those precious herbs, betraying her completely after leaving her house!

Xia Shiyun had always been half-skeptical of Divine Doctor Lin since Xia Hou had introduced him. Though he was indeed very famous in the Huaxia medical community and not a charlatan!!

So Xia Shiyun reluctantly allowed him to treat her father, but after months, there was no progress at all. Apart from asking for money to buy herbs, he served no purpose.

However, his frightening skills were quite impressive, making her mother so confused and devout, worshipping him almost like a deity. Had it not been for her mother’s sake, Xia Shiyun would have kicked this shameless old man out long ago.

Just then, Xia Hou, another cousin of Xia Shiyun, slowly stepped forward.

“Cousin, a person should be honest. Birth, aging, illness, and death are normal things. Why are you hiding them from Mom!

“Uncle is likely about to pass. I’ve already arranged the funeral company to give him a grand burial.”

“Also, I know about that will, so don’t try to hide it. You’ll have to present it at the board meeting for public announcement.”

Xia Hou finally exposed his true intentions. He worked at Xia Shiyun’s company and had been promoted to deputy manager by Xia Tianxiong, having great ambition and aiming to push Xia Shiyun out.

Now with Xia Tianxiong’s death, the wolf in sheep’s clothing was revealed.

The guy had always been treated as a son by her father, thinking he would inherit his fortune. Originally, the wealth would be split between three people after her father’s death!

If her mother also died of grief, he could naturally get more of the wealth!

Despicable! Disgusting!

Shen Jiaxue, already incoherent from crying and having just had a few sips of porridge to regain some strength, almost fainted upon hearing Divine Doctor Lin’s words!

Thankfully, Xia Shiyun quickly pinched her philtrum point to revive her.

Divine Doctor Lin’s eyes flashed with satisfaction. He glanced at Xia Hou and then at the bedridden Xia Tianxiong, sighing and offering comfort, “Madam, my condolences.”

Shen Jiaxue completely broke down, picking up the fruit knife from the bedside, trying to slit her throat!

“Tianxiong, I’m coming to join you!”

“Mom, don’t do anything so foolish!”

“I have a way!!”

Xia Shiyun’s face changed dramatically, rushing over and grabbing the knife forcefully!

This timely action stopped Shen Jiaxue from committing suicide, but Xia Shiyun’s hand bled profusely, drop by drop.
