However, as soon as they thought of Ye Lengan demanding a 1.5 billion USD treatment fee, their initial enthusiasm waned.
“Why are you here?” Old Master Shu’s voice was still weak. When he saw Ye Lengan, he couldn’t help but question.
Worried that Ye Lengan might change her mind, Shu Hui quickly stepped forward to explain, “Dad, 1 brought Miss Ye here, and thanks to her, you’ve been able to wake up temporarily.”
“He can remain awake for approximately fifteen minutes. You all should discuss your decision!” Ye Lengan announced. “But do not touch that needle; otherwise, you will bear the consequences. I’ll go out for a walk, and I’ll be back in ten minutes.’
After making this statement, Ye Lengan left the room, seemingly unconcerned.
In reality, she truly wasn’t concerned about the matter. Regardless of what decision the Shu family made regarding treatment, it had little bearing on her. Though she was a medical practitioner, her heart was far from compassionate.
Ye Lengan hadn’t gone far. She sat in a chair nearby in the corridor, passing the time with her phone.
After approximately ten minutes, she rose and returned to the ward.
As she entered the room, all conversation abruptly ceased. Every eye in the room was fixed upon Ye Lengan.
Unfazed by the scrutiny, Ye Lengan walked directly to the bedside and looked at Old Master Shut “Have you reached a decision? I don’t have much time to wait. If you don’t intend to proceed with treatment, 1 will depart.”
“Miss Ye, if I select the 500 million USD treatment plan, will I be pain-free until my life’s end in the next three months? Or, if you can preserve my life for three months, will I need to remain bedridden, struggling for survival?” Old Master Shu inquired, despite having already learned about the treatment options from others. His current circumstances made him acutely aware of the importance of health and life.
Ye Leng’an’s response to Old Master Shu’s choice came as no surprise. “During these three months, as long as you follow the doctor’s advice, you’ll enjoy good health without the torment of illness. But if you insist on disregarding medical advice and go your own way, I can only guarantee your survival.”
After a moment of silence, Old Master Shu declared, “Miss Ye, I choose the second treatment plan. However, I hope that you won’t deceive me because of past grievances. Otherwise, even with the support of the Huangfu family, we, the Shu family, won’t let this matter rest easily.”
In truth, he would have preferred to select the first treatment option. After all, everyone desires a healthy life. However, he was well aware of the Shu family’s current predicament. Following the earlier setbacks and turmoil, the Shu family was in a weakened state and no longer as illustrious as before.
If they had to raise 1.5 billion USD for treatment at this juncture, it would deliver a substantial blow to the Shu family. Inadvertently, the entire family might face ruin.
In contrast, 500 million USD was a sum the Shu family could afford without significant harm. Moreover, a three-month window would enable him to make arrangements for the Shu family.
Three months later, even if he passed away, the Shu family would not experience any tumult or upheaval.
“Rest assured,” Ye Lengan told Old Master Shu. “The animosity between me and your Shu family is long behind us. Right now, you’re just an ordinary patient to me. I will do my utmost as long as I’ve accepted the responsibility.” Soon, Ye Lengan administered the first treatment for Old Master Shu.
Upon concluding the treatment, Old Master Shu felt remarkably relaxed. He even sensed that he was more at ease than when he was in good health.
During this period, although his tumor had not advanced, he frequently experienced headaches. Even during his normal days, he often felt a heavy head and at times, confusion in his mind.
However, after just a single treatment, he could discern an evident improvement in his health.
Following this initial treatment, Old Master Shu developed a newfound respect for Ye Lengan. Despite his lack of personal fondness for her, he had to acknowledge her highly advanced medical skills.
At this moment, he was beginning to experience a tinge of regret. If he had agreed to the 1 billion USD treatment fee when Ye Lengan first proposed it, would the outcome be different now?
Back then, the Shu family could have afforded the 1 billion USD. If he had undergone treatment at that time, would he have been able to continue living healthily for another decade or two, even until natural death? Instead of his current situation, where he only had three months to live, with each passing day marking his life’s countdown.
“l will return over the next two days,” Ye Lengan explained. “After two more treatments, you’ll be able to return home. Following that, I’ll prescribe a course of Chinese herbal medicine to support your recovery. You can continue taking it at home.”
She then turned to Shu Hui and continued, “You now need to make the first payment, covering half of the treatment fee. Two days from now, once the treatment concludes, you’ll need to settle the remaining treatment fees.”
“Certainly.”
Shu Hui promptly requested Ye Leng’an’s bank account details and assured her that he would transfer half of the treatment fee within the day.
Ye Lengan nodded and organized her belongings before departing.
She had no concerns about the Shu family reneging on their payment. After all, members of such a prominent family wouldn’t breach their word. Moreover, if the Shu family failed to transfer half of the treatment fee today, she would not return tomorrow. In that case, they would have to deal with the consequences on their own.
On the other hand, Shu Hui certainly had no intention of going back on his commitment. After Ye Leng’an’s departure, he immediately instructed his secretary to proceed with the payment.
Others couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache. Just like that, 250 million
USD had been spent..
