The process of waiting for the test results was a heart-wrenching torture for Jiang Wan.

She sat in the corridor holding her mother's hand, looking at her dull and foolish eyes, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe.

As it was getting dark in the afternoon, the test results finally came out.

The doctor said in a serious tone , " Ms. Jiang, your mother is already in the middle stage of liver cancer. If you don't treat her right away, her life may be in danger."

It was finally diagnosed.

Jiang Wan felt as if she had lost all her strength and her legs and feet became weak.

She hurriedly held onto the table and managed to keep herself steady.

Xu Manzhi looked at her and smiled foolishly like a child, mumbling something to herself.

When Jiang Wan saw her like that, his heart felt like it was being torn apart by something, and it was bleeding.

The doctor calmed her down and said , " Your mother's condition is rather special and complicated. It is not impossible to treat cancer in our hospital, but her current condition ... I am afraid she cannot cooperate well with us."

Jiang Wan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice , " Doctor, please find a way to cure my mother. She is the only one I have. I can control her emotions and make her cooperate with you!"

The doctor frowned and looked at her with embarrassment.

"If there are any other unexpected situations during the treatment ... Miss Jiang, this is indeed a bit difficult for us."

Jiang Wan was a little overwhelmed. "Then what do you think we should do? What do you need me to do? I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"How about this, you go find a psychiatrist, preferably your mother's former attending physician. If he can continue to cooperate with us during the treatment period, we can provide chemotherapy for your mother."

Jiang Wan nodded repeatedly, "Then, if I start chemotherapy now, can my mother's condition be completely cured?"

The doctor was unable to give a definite answer and only said that the cure depended on the circumstances.

Jiang Wan's heart felt like it was suspended in the air. To her, it was like an invisible torture.

The doctor talked to her about the treatment plan, the approximate cost of treatment, etc.

Cost is a huge problem nowadays.

The cost of cancer treatment and subsequent medication alone would be two million, and a psychiatrist would have to be hired to assist in the treatment. Jiang Wan calculated that at least five million would be needed.

She simply can't come up with so much money right now!

Not long ago, she invested all her savings of several million in new projects, and only had less than 800,000 yuan left for circulation.

But Xu Manzhi's condition could no longer be delayed any further.

Cancer cells spread very quickly. If they are left to the middle or late stages, even the most advanced medical technology will be unable to save the situation.

Jiang Wan took her mother back to the sanatorium temporarily.

Looking at her mother's empty and confused look, she felt at a loss.

She borrowed money from all the platforms on her phone, but the money she raised was far from enough.

She controlled her emotions and gently coaxed her mother to sleep.

Looking at Xu Manzhi's sleeping face, she couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out of the ward, covering her mouth and crying loudly.

Nurses passing by on the roadside looked at her sideways from time to time. Jiang Wan's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She held back her tears and picked up her cell phone to find someone to borrow money.

The first person she thought of was Pei Yu.

But after staring at his name for a while, she continued to scroll down.

She didn't want Pei Yu to see her miserable side.

But after searching the address book for a long time, I still couldn't find anyone I could borrow money from.

Five million is not a small sum of money, and the person who can lend her the money may not be willing to lend it to her.

Jiang Wan tried calling several wealthy bosses, but as expected, she was rejected one by one for various reasons.

She finally called Pei Yu.

She had reached the end of her rope and couldn't get any more miserable than this.

The phone rang for a few seconds before being picked up.

"Honey, what's wrong?" As usual, there was a hint of teasing in his voice.

When Jiang Wan heard the most intimate name in the world, she suddenly felt a little ironic.

She calmed herself down, but when she spoke, her voice still trembled.

"Can you lend me five million?"

Pei Yu was a little surprised, "What did you say?"

She took a deep breath and tried to speak in the calmest way possible, "My mother has been diagnosed with liver cancer and needs a large sum of money. I will definitely pay you back."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, there was suddenly no sound.

She took a look and her phone showed that the call had been disconnected.

She collapsed, hugged her arms, and slowly squatted down against the wall.

She didn't know what to do.

She squatted in the corner, her fingers unconsciously pulling her hair.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice came, and Jiang Wan raised her head with red eyes.

There was still a strand of hair entangled in her fingertips, which she had unconsciously pulled out just now.

Pei Yu frowned and looked at her, a trace of deep heartache flashing across his eyes.

He took her up and "tidied her hair and the tear stains on her cheeks."

"Why are you here?" Jiang Wan asked hesitantly.

Pei Yu frowned, "Didn't you say your mother was sick? I shouldn't have come here?"

Jiang Wan stared at him with dull eyes.

Didn't he just hang up his phone? What he meant was, is he willing to lend me money?

Jiang Wan immediately perked up and took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag, "I'll write the IOU now."

Pei Yu frowned even deeper and grabbed her wrist.

"Who do you think I am? Do you think I will just stand by and watch my mother-in-law get sick?"

Jiang Wan stared at him blankly with her eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts.

"On the way here just now, I have already understood all the circumstances. Your mother's condition is quite complicated, and she has a mental illness, which will delay treatment, so I asked someone to contact a foreign hospital and send her there for treatment."

"The level of medical technology abroad is relatively high, and the chances of cure are higher."

Pei Yu spoke a long speech and Jiang Wan looked at him in surprise.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Countless complicated emotions surged in my heart.

Tears suddenly fell without warning.

Pei Yu's heart twitched. As far as he could remember, Jiang Wan had almost never shed tears in front of him.

She has always been very strong. He knew how important her mother was to her and could feel how sad she was right now.

He reached out and brushed the hair away from her face. "Didn't I tell you to take her abroad for treatment? Why are you still crying? Don't worry, she will be fine."

Jiang Wan nodded, "Thank you."

Pei Yu glanced into the room and saw Xu Manzhi sleeping soundly, so he said to her , " Go downstairs and take a walk. I'll take you to eat something."

"good."

There were no high-end restaurants nearby, so Pei Yu took her to eat a bowl of wontons, but Jiang Wan still had no appetite.
