Chapter 44 - Why Speak of Regrets? (1/2)
”Chen mu, I am not going to spin around circles to ask you one question. If my assumptions are correct, the pill that you had in hand is from Susu's bottle of pills. The reason why you came to the lab and performed the research experiment is that you've already recognized what pills she was taking, but wanted to make sure. Am I right?”
Under her strong gaze, he felt like he was the subject to an X-ray scan where every thought of his became transparent in front of her. Without averting his gaze, he said, ”I assume you've already known about her falling ill?”
She nodded, ”Yes, but she wasn't the one who told me. I found out by accident, and it's too long of a story to tell you what happened right now. Since you've already gone this far with diagnosing the pill that she is taking, as a legendary genius in the medical field, I believe you are more knowledgeable than me of her body condition.”
Slowly, his head lowered and eyes focused on the report in his hands, ”I know. It's Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, early stage. These pills are helping her body kill off cancer cells, but if her condition worsens after the treatment period, then that means she would require a stronger alternative.”
”So, we can only wait and see for the time being. Is there anything we could do to help her with the symptoms or pain? A diet plan? Anything?” She started asking more in depth questions because she was a medical maniac. Other than knowing what Susu was suffering from, she didn't understand the complicated medical terms even when Lin Que explained it to her.
”I'll come up with the diet plan and make sure that she is getting the nutrients that her body needs to build a stronger immune system. I'll also observe her condition. If I think that her condition has worsened, then I will bring her to the hospital.” He stated with his head dug between his arms as his hands interlocked behind his head.
Lily frowned and understood that at this moment, acceptance is difficult. At the same time, she couldn't help herself and asked, ”Chen Mu, do you have feelings for Susu?”
Almost immediately after she had asked, he lifted his chin and faced her once again, but this time he looked shocked. Seeing his reaction confirmed her suspicions, ”Uh huh, so my guess is right.”
”How did you...”
”Well, Susu told me that she complained about not liking pills or liquids type of medicine. Then, you came out of nowhere and scored full marks on the medical exams and papers within half a year. After that, your only request was for full access to all laboratories whenever you request for it. You came up with an herb formula for flus, and she was drinking it without knowing the damn efforts you put in.”
She explained how and when her suspicions about his feelings for Susu began. After she was done, he clapped lightly, ”Can't believe I was that obvious that you saw through me. She doesn't know it and wouldn't need to know it either.”
