Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: Bai Chuwei Was Right! Why Are You Still Standing Here?

Duan Xueqin was stunned and exclaimed, "Dad, did you deliberately trick me into coming to the hospital?"

She did have the idea of getting a health check-up, but being hurriedly brought to the hospital made Duan Xueqin feel displeased, yet she didn’t dare to be angry with her father.

Elder Duan said, "It’s better to treat an illness early."

The butler understood and immediately went to register.

Duan Xueqin glanced at Elder Duan’s unwavering expression, shook her arm up and down and said, "Dad, I feel fine; I usually pay great attention to health and wellness."

The wealthier the lady, the more she cherishes her life.

Duan Xueqin would definitely work out and frequently visit beauty salons during her spare time.

She could drink four or five bottles of Energy Water a day just for health.

Elder Duan wasn’t interested in engaging with her and walked with his cane toward the neurology department’s floor when the butler came over with the specialist’s registration.

Duan Xueqin felt helpless and hurriedly followed her father’s steps.

The neurology department’s expert professor first inquired about Duan Xueqin’s situation. Duan Xueqin said, "I feel great and have no symptoms."

Neurology expert: "...Well, you should have a thorough health examination and then show me the results."

Since she was already there, Duan Xueqin couldn’t win against her father, so she obediently went for a body check-up.

The values on the check-up report were incomprehensible to ordinary people, and Duan Xueqin and Elder Duan went together into the neurology expert’s office, handing over the report.

The expert quickly glanced at it, his expression gradually growing serious, and looked up to ask Duan Xueqin, "Are you sure you haven’t had any other symptoms?"

If there were no symptoms, why rush to the neurology department for a diagnosis?

At most, it should be a full-body check-up, right?

As soon as these questions were asked, Duan Xueqin grew nervous.

Could it be?

Her father claims Bai Chuwei is a Divine Doctor, but Bai Chuwei didn’t even take her pulse. The neurology expert at Haicheng Hospital requires patients to undergo detailed tests to diagnose illnesses. Could Bai Chuwei determine her sickness just by looking at her with the naked eye?

How is this a Divine Doctor? This is practically an Immortal descending to the mortal world.

Duan Xueqin shook her head like a rattle and uneasily tapped her hand on the table, "Doctor, what’s wrong with me?"

The neurology expert put down the report, putting both hands together, and said gravely, "According to the report, you have been diagnosed with gradual exhaustion syndrome."

The department was silent, Duan Xueqin’s mind went blank for a moment as she stared dumbly at the expert opposite her, unable to react for a long time.

Gradual... exhaustion syndrome?

Many might be unaware of what kind of illness this is, but when cancer is mentioned, everyone understands.

Gradual exhaustion syndrome, akin to cancer, is classified as one of the five top terminal illnesses globally.

Terminal illness; it can’t be cured.

Once contracted, there’s only waiting for death.

Duan Xueqin’s breathing became erratic, and tears rolled down from her eyes. She suddenly grabbed the expert’s hand, desperately and incoherently pleading, "Doctor, please think of a way for me; I don’t want to die. My daughter is only thirteen years old, and my son is just ten. My two brothers haven’t even married yet; there are still many things I have not done, I..."

The doctor was helpless, feeling distressed.

As a doctor, no one wants to see a patient die.

But this illness is truly a terminal one now.

The doctor could only console, "Patients who cooperate with treatment and maintain a positive mindset, some with gradual exhaustion syndrome can live for over ten years."

Duan Xueqin began to collapse; this still means dying from illness?

She had learned before that the late stage of gradual exhaustion syndrome is very painful!

A sudden slap on the back of her head, and Elder Duan, who had been silent until now, shouted sternly, "What are you still dazing here for?!"
