Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Familial Diseases

Victor was in utter disarray. Doria not only possessed noble blood but was also the most perfect wife he had searched for over many years.

If she suddenly fell ill, the wedding they had been preparing for so long would turn into a laughingstock.

Chen Yu’s brows were tightly knitted, “Fortunately, it was discovered in time. I can temporarily suppress the condition, but later on, I will need several extremely precious medicinal herbs to treat her!”

Victor instantly breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s not a problem, Mr. Chen. As long as there is a cure, I can find any medicine for you in the shortest time possible!”

Chen Yu nodded and then asked Victor for a rather secluded chamber.

Just as the door was closed, Chen Yu’s expression swiftly changed, and he moved a chair to sit gravely in front of Victoria.

“Miss Victoria, the illness in your body is one part, but most importantly, it’s an ailment at the mental level. If you cannot have an epiphany, I’m afraid you won’t live past three months!”

Doria’s eyes widened, filled with shock within her ink-black irises.

“Mr. Chen, you must be joking. My psychological state has always been good, how could I possibly have a psychological disease?”

Chen Yu let out a slight exhale of turbid air, “I have a professional medical practitioner license, and I’m considered a real doctor, so as a basic principle of being a doctor, I have it. You can tell me the troubles in your heart, and I’ll help you see through them. Even if you do not wish to have such a wedding, I can still help you.”

When Chen Yu took her pulse earlier, he already knew where Victoria’s real issue lay, and it wasn’t just leukemia.

Thus, he had already signed an extremely large order with Victor, but in the face of a living being’s life, he would still choose some form of compromise.

Victoria suddenly became frantic, unable to avoid Chen Yu’s penetrating gaze.

“Mr. Chen, if I tell you, can you save me?”

“Of course I can!” Chen Yu agreed very readily.

Victoria took a deep breath and then took out some photographs from her person.

“Our family, although it was a significant part of the European royalty 800 years ago, has now come to my parents merely being ordinary miners!”

At this, Victoria suddenly began to choke up.

In fact, Victoria’s lineage included many ancestors of European royalty. If it had been successfully passed down to today, its status might even surpass that of William’s family.

Victor’s reason for marrying Victoria was also because of her family’s royal ancestry.

It was just unfortunate that Victoria’s entire family of seven was afflicted with some inexplicable illness. One of the conditions she had agreed upon when she consented to marry Victor was for William’s family to help treat her family’s disease.

After hearing Victoria’s story, Chen Yu couldn’t help but be stunned. Like many traditional Western women, psychological distress during marriage generally stems from not marrying a deeply-loved suitor.

But Victoria’s psychological journey was different from others.

It seemed she was marrying into William’s family primarily to secure treatment for her own family.

Pneumoconiosis, caused by mining, was a major medical challenge in this world, and even William’s family might not be able to cure her family.

Now, Victoria’s own health was also problematic due to her parents’ genetic issues. Without timely intervention, she wouldn’t live much longer.

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly and, after roughly understanding the situation, he had a plan in mind.

“Don’t worry, after this matter is handed over to me, I will explain the reasons to Mr. Victor, and then you take me back to your home. Perhaps I can cure your family’s illness!”

Hope immediately filled Victoria’s eyes, dark as ink, and without any hesitation, she threw herself into Chen Yu’s arms, fervently kissing his cheek.
