Chapter 173 - A Bold Idea (2/2)
Xia Lei felt a headache co about?” he said aardly
“You knohat I’ about,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
“We haven’t got to that step yet, it’s just…” Xia Lei caught hi about this for?”
Shentu Tian-Yin see for She s” She then muttered under her breath, “Probably afraid that I’d snatch hi, vixen?”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing Oh, we’re here Come with me,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
Xia Lei discovered then that they had gone through the back courtyard and to the garden behind it The garden had a s walls, a crescent- arched door and a uniquely-tiled room at the back The rooh-quality redith an elegant antique feel to it
Fu Chuan-Fu was already waiting in front of the door He stood expressionlessly with his arms behind his back and turned to open the door when Shentu Tian-Yin brought Xia Lei over
Xia Lei saw Shentu Tian-Yin’s father, Shentu Ren, lying on the bed when he walked in
Shentu Ren was in his fifties but he looked like an old man in his sixties - pasty-skinned and weak-bodied He lay on the bed without ht; the rise and fall of his chest almost imperceptible He looked like he was in a terrible state and about to stop breathing any second
“I’ve coht back memories and Shentu Tian-Yin’s voice was filled with sadness and her eyes filled with tears
Xia Lei was affected too and said sadly, “Uncle, I’m… Tian-Yin’s boyfriend I’ve come to see you”
Shentu Ren did not respond
Shentu Tian-Yin lowered her voice, “My father is relying on a nutrient solution to live His condition is worsening and I don’t kno er he’ll be able to hold on”
“Why not continue treatment?” asked Xia Lei
“I’ve consulted the world’s best doctors and Father has also gone to the best hospitals in the world but they all said the sa - there is no treatment I have accepted this reality and I only hope for a miracle to happen”
“Don’t be sad Your father will get better,” consoled Xia Lei
“Nn Have a chat with o talk to Grandfather I’d like to see what he has to say aboutyou home” Shentu Tian-Yin left Shentu Ren’s roo the flowers Please give ,” said Fu Chuan-Fu
“Sure, go about your work, Uncle Fu I’ll chat with Father,” said Xia Lei
Just Xia Lei and Shentu Ren were left in the room after Fu Chuan-Fu went away; one remained motionless while the other ree in the brain’s blood circulatory syste the cerebral blood circulation A serious case would mean a quick death and one not so serious is survivable but could lead to long-term sequelae of paralysis This means Shentu Ren’s condition isn’t that dire because he isn’t dead now What does his brain look like?’ Xia Lei thought Following that thought, his left eye twitched and locked onto Shentu Ren’s head
He had no interest in chatting with a man who had been bedridden for three years - it was a waste of tie in ai er to test his skills
The situation in Shentu Ren’s head appeared in Xia Lei’s vision, his left eye working like a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through layer after layer into Shentu Ren’s brain Even the world’s most advanced NMR detector could not compare to his ability
A few minutes later, Xia Lei finished his exa of his condition Shentu Ren’s brain had two areas of haeery could not clear but there was not much blood and it did not affect his life, or he would have been long dead Xia Lei also discovered that soes decreased the blood supply to the brain The brain, as the controller of the body, was not getting enough nutrition from the blood to function normally It was in ‘hibernation’ mode Could his body still function in this condition? Obviously not
‘Will he wake up if I can use a needle to clear his clogged blood vessels?’ A bold idea popped into Xia Lei’s head
