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.
In the West, this was a normal social etiquette, but Chen Yu really wasn't accustomed to it, so he quickly pushed Victoria away and then they discussed the details of saving the sick.
Upon learning about the situation, Victor immediately felt some self-reproach. He had been too busy recently and had sent out a few doctors, but none of them brought back any definitive information.
Chen Yu didn't say much more, only asking Victor to help them reach a very remote little village in the mountains, a journey facilitated with a few tickets he had provided.
The West had long since entered the final stages of urbanization, so in a sense, their rural areas were essentially large farms.
Victoria's ancestral family had some wealth, and with her family members working as miners for generations, they had accumulated quite a bit of farmland and pastures.
From a distance, Chen Yu could see Victoria's family toiling away on the farm. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
However, these people looked all skin and bones; every one of them was extremely frail, some looking as if a gust of wind could blow them over.
Victoria got out of the car and ran over like a little butterfly.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back to see you!"
Two elderly people with white hair rushed over and embraced Victoria in their arms.
Chen Yu didn't approach to disturb them, merely watching quietly from the side. Before long, Victoria pulled Chen Yu over to her parents.
After a brief introduction, they took Chen Yu into the barn beside them.
Prior to coming here, Chen Yu had already asked William's family to prepare a large amount of temporary medical equipment for him. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e -NovelFire.net
After a simple pulse diagnosis and blood tests, the condition of everyone's illness was clear in Chen Yu's mind.
Aside from him, everyone in Victoria's family were elderly, and their cardiac and pulmonary functions had already reached their limits.
If the disease were allowed to continue to deteriorate, these old people probably couldn't survive even a week.
Chen Yu wrote a prescription and then asked Victoria to contact Victor to have the medicine delivered. Afterwards, he treated the elderly with acupuncture.
These illnesses weren't difficult for him now, but coordinating the treatment with surgery made it somewhat troublesome.
For three full days, Chen Yu didn't rest for a minute, not until he had completed surgery on Victoria's family members. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as he was preparing to take a good rest, a child who looked only six or seven years old suddenly ran into the barn.
The child held an apple that had been bitten more than half-eaten and stared blankly at Chen Yu as soon as he entered.
Under their gaze, Chen Yu suddenly noticed an inexplicably murky color in the young boy's eyes.
His brows furrowed immediately as he quickly stepped forward to check the boy's pulse. After inspecting three times, Chen Yu's expression changed drastically.
