Xia Xiaotong also saw it and immediately became nervous. Taking advantage that Old Xia was not paying attention, she found an excuse and walked out with Xu Qingmo.

"Are you family members of the patient?" The doctor brought them to his office.

Xu Qingmo nodded: "Me too."

Xia Xiaotong looked at Xu Qingmo weirdly, but she did not object, she knew that this was not the time to argue with him.

"Doctor, what happened to my dad?" Xia Xiaotong asked anxiously.

The doctor took off his glasses from his nose and wiped them before saying, "When your father was first admitted to the hospital, we examined your father and found that the platelet count in his blood was a little low. We didn't pay attention at first and were ready to tell you about it, but your father broke his leg just now, so we checked again to make sure it was a very serious problem."

Xia Xiaotong's entire body tensed up.

"ZM08." The doctor said, "This disease is extremely rare, and there are no more than a hundred cases in the entire world, so much so that it has not been widely spread. In our medical world, if we gave it a code name, we would call it ZM08, and the specific cause of this disease is very complicated.

The doctor Balala talked a lot, and Xia Xiaotong listened attentively. However, she was not a medical student, so she could not understand what was going on.

Xu Qingmo said: "Just directly speak of the consequences and the treatment plan."

"I'm sorry, but our hospital does not have a 100% certainty of being able to cure this disease. To be exact, the entire world does not have a 100% chance to cure it."

Xia Xiaotong's body shook, and almost fell down.

"What about the patient?" Xu Qingmo said again.

"With his current physical condition, if he were to receive treatment from our hospital, there is only a 5% chance of recovery. However, the treatment fee …"

"How much?" Xia Xiaotong immediately asked.

"At least five million." The doctor said, "This is because there are too few such cases. Our hospital is willing to study them and minimize the cost of medical treatment. If we don't treat them, the patient will only have two months to live."

"Dad!" Xia Xiaotong's body softened and fell backwards.

Xu Qingmo reached out and hugged Xia Xiaotong.

"Young man, talk it over with your wife. Honestly, I'm sorry." The doctor said to Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo nodded and carried Xia Xiaotong to a bench in the corridor. He let her sit down and rubbed her temples.

A few minutes later, Xia Xiaotong slowly woke up.

"Dad!" Xia Xiaotong shouted and was about to jump up.

Xu Qingmo hugged her, "Uncle Xia is fine now, he's in the ward. You have to calm down."

Xia Xiaotong was completely paralyzed in Xu Qingmo's embrace, her tears flowing, but she did not struggle anymore and just cried for a long time.

Finally, Xia Xiaotong calmed down and stood up from Xu Qingmo's embrace.

"Thank you, Big Brother Xu." Xia Xiaotong said.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Qingmo asked.

"Heal! We must treat him!" Xia Xiaotong said solemnly, "As long as there is a sliver of hope, I will do my best to fight for it."

Xu Qingmo also nodded: "I support you."

"Five million." Xia Xiaotong's body was still unsteady, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely work hard."

Xu Qingmo said: "Money is not a problem, the problem is the success rate of the operation."

Xia Xiaotong looked at Xu Qingmo in astonishment, then said: "Big Brother Xu, I hope that you don't tell this matter to Young Xi for the time being."

Xia Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant. Xia Xiaotong thought that the money he meant was not so much that she could borrow from Lin Youxi, but that Lin Youxi would directly give it to him. However, Xia Xiaotong could not accept it at the moment, and she did not even want Lin Youxi to know.

Of course, she would not have the money in the future, so she was in desperate straits. She might as well borrow money from Lin Youxi, as her father's life was more important than everything else.

Xu Qingmo nodded: "Mn, I said before, I will support you!"

Xia Xiaotong revealed a tragic smile, "I don't want my father to know about this either."

Xu Qingmo nodded.

"I'll go in first to accompany my father." Right now, she wanted to stay with Old Xia. After all, it was very possible that Old Xia only had two months of life left.

Xu Qingmo did not follow him in. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Ning Ningyun's number.

"Hmm?" Ning Ningyun looked like she was very busy, she only snorted. She knew Xu Qingmo just by looking at the number, there was no need to be so formal.

"ZM08." Xu Qingmo asked, "Have you heard of it?"

"ZM08." Ning Ningyun put down the matter at hand, "How do you know about this disease?"

"The father of a friend of mine." Xu Qingmo said, "This sickness, exactly what is it?"

"Let your friend prepare for the future." Ning Ningyun said directly.

"No way!" Xu Qingmo said.

"Yes." Ning Ningyun said, "The cure rate of this disease is nearly zero."

"Isn't it five percent?" Xu Qingmo said.

"Five percent, this is the foreign figure. At home, there is no precedent to cure this disease." Ning Ningyun said.

Xu Qingmo was stunned, "So it's like that …"

"Is that friend important to you?" Ning Ningyun asked again.

"Right? I can't stand seeing her lose her family." Xu Qingmo looked at Xia Xiaotong who was inside the window, and she was chatting happily with Old Xia. It seemed that she did not tell Old Xia the truth.

"Then we can only try other ways." Ning Ningyun said, "For this disease, the current technique of medicine is unable to cure it, but I remember that at the time, there was a saying, that Chinese medicine might be able to have a good effect on this disease, and perhaps, using this method, it is possible to cure it, but it is definitely better than waiting for your death in the hospital."

Xu Qingmo nodded: "Thank you."

"Un, come over to my place when you have time. I want to use your body for research." Ning Ningyun said.

"Alright then." Xu Qingmo hung up the call and then walked out of the sickroom, just in time to hear the conversation inside again.

"Hehe, when we were eating just now, I saw that Mr. Xu was very considerate towards you. Maybe he was also interested in you, so you should take the initiative. The Old Xia said.

Xia Xiaotong lowered her head and did not retort like before.

Previously, Old Xia was only a broken bone. After recuperating for a while, it should be fine, but now, Old Xia could very likely only live for two months. Xia Xiaotong naturally did not have the heart to refute him.

"Don't keep silent. Seriously, you're very good. Don't feel inferior. Take the initiative." The Old Xia said.

Just as Xia Xiaotong didn't know how to reply, Xu Qingmo walked in and sat beside Xia Xiaotong. He extended his hand and put it on Xia Xiaotong's shoulder and said to Old Xia: "Uncle can rest assured, stay in the hospital and rest assured. Xiao Tong and I will settle the rest."

Xia Xiaotong shuddered when she was carried by the Tower Lord.

When Old Xia saw this, a smile blossomed on his face. "Alright, alright, you youngsters should have chatted more. Don't worry about me, I'll just lie there by myself."

Xia Xiaotong glanced at Xu Qingmo, and then laughed along with him.

The two of them had a tacit understanding between each other and knew that this was just to comfort Old Xia. During these final days, everyone wanted to make him happy.

At that moment, someone else walked in. He was wearing a hospital gown and was also a patient.

This was just an ordinary ward with a bed. Previously, there was no one here, but now, someone had come.

The new patient was an old lady. She was in good spirits and was also a chatterbox.

Old Xia was beaming with joy, every time he mentioned her own daughter, it was filled with pride.

"Where's that young man? He's quite spirited." The old lady and Old Xia looked at Xu Qingmo and said.

"Hehe, that's Mr. Xu, a capable junior. However, he's about to become my son-in-law." Old Xia said happily.

"Your daughter's boyfriend?" The auntie's heart of gossip immediately burst into flames.

"Not yet, but very soon. Didn't you see how the two of them were looking at each other? Haha." The Old Xia was extremely happy.

The grandma looked at it for a while and slapped her thigh. "Indeed. These two brats' eyes are almost dripping with tears. I was a step too slow. Otherwise, I would have introduced my daughter to that child."

"Ai ai, how can you be like this, there must be a first come first serve, Mr. Xu is my daughter's, no one can snatch it away."

"Hehe, are they married? If you're not married, anything is possible. Even if you're married, you can still get a divorce. "

"What? You dare to call me an old woman? You are truly too unreasonable."

The two old men were arguing, while Xu Qingmo and Xia Xiaotong were looking at each other, but the two of them were not looking at each other in the eyes, and instead, Xu Qingmo used his eyes to signal Xia Xiaotong to leave, but because Xia Xiaotong had hugged her earlier, she was a little shy right now and did not dare to look into Xu Qingmo's eyes, so for a moment, she could not comprehend Xu Qingmo's intentions.

After looking at it for a few moments, Xia Xiaotong finally understood. Seeing that Old Xia and the aunty was spitting saliva all over, she walked out with Xu Qingmo.

In the hallway, Xu Qingmo told Xia Xiaotong about the matter regarding Chinese medicine and then suggested, "Why don't we find some Chinese medicine for uncle to see?"

"Mhmm!" Xia Xiaotong immediately nodded her head. If the hope of Chinese medicine was a little bigger, then it would naturally be better to use Chinese medicine.

"However, this matter is best not to tell uncle and the hospital. We are only trying." Xu Qingmo said.

"But, how can he not know that my dad is being examined by a Chinese doctor?"

"That's simple." Xu Qingmo laughed, "Speak of the devil, I know a few Chinese doctors. I want them to show uncle his body, not only will it help his leg recover, I can even take care of his body."

"Mhmm, use a wheelchair to push my dad out. Please come to the hospital's park." Xia Xiaotong nodded, "But, why did you tell my father that you had to do this?"

"Idiot, I'm already your boyfriend, isn't it natural for me to invite a few Chinese medicine for my future father-in-law?"

Xia Xiaotong's face instantly flushed red.
