Chapter 1202 - 1199: Cherish Those Before You 6

. On the ground, many had fallen, and the old ladies were picking them up here. They murmured as they picked.

"Walnut flower stewed meat, it’s said it can help conceive a boy. I should let my daughter-in-law eat more of it to have a son..."

"Yeah, I’ve heard people say that too. My family has a granddaughter, this time, I must make my daughter-in-law have another child, a son... The two-child policy has been relaxed, but they say life pressure is high and don’t want to have more children. How can this be? How can a family be complete without a son? Wouldn’t their lifelong efforts be in vain?"

...

She recalled Dr. Fang’s words: "If that kind of DNA virus is deployed precisely, it’s believed it won’t be long before it leads to the extinction of certain races. This is a great tragedy for humanity and must be stopped..."

Listening to the conversation of these old ladies again, she felt even more lost and disappointed.

Are such ancient and ignorant beliefs truly worthy of endlessly depleting the resources of this Earth?

But before she could think further, her phone rang.

Wan Donglin’s voice was very anxious: "Xixi, I’m waiting for you at the community gate, come out immediately."

She was taken aback and instinctively asked: "What’s wrong?"

"The Empress Dowager is sick; we have to go to the hospital immediately."

She dashed to the door, and sure enough, Wan Donglin’s car was already waiting. She opened the car door and got in, and Wan Donglin drove off immediately.

She was anxious: "What’s wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

Wan Donglin’s face looked very bad. After a while, he sighed: "The doctor says it might be cancer..."

Yan Xixi’s ears buzzed.

"What did you say? How is that possible? This is absolutely not possible..."

"In fact, the Empress Dowager had felt something was wrong half a year ago. I was very busy then and didn’t pay attention. Occasionally, when I asked her, she’d always say it’s a small issue - when people get old, small ailments increase, so I didn’t pay much mind..."

"Has it been diagnosed?"

"The doctor says it’s very likely..."

How can an ordinary doctor talk so recklessly?

If it’s basically diagnosed, only then would they say so.

"The Empress Dowager doesn’t know yet, and we don’t plan to tell her. Sigh, Xixi, I really don’t know what to do..."

Yan Xixi held her head tightly, feeling as though it might split with pain.

It’s truly one crisis after another.

When getting out of the car, perhaps due to haste, Wan Donglin stumbled over something and almost fell to the ground.

Yan Xixi grabbed him, and he immediately held her hand in return, his smile extremely weak.

"Big guy, don’t worry... Don’t panic... Let’s wait for the report first; maybe it’s a misdiagnosis..."

She could hear the weakness in her voice, yet still forced a smile: "Look at me, you all thought I was already dead, but I’m here alive, aren’t I? Don’t worry."

Wan Donglin forced a smile, patted her hand, and led her into the ward.

At the door, Wan Dongmei had already come out to greet them. Upon seeing Yan Xixi, she hugged her tightly. Though not a tearful reunion, her warmth was palpable: "Xixi... Xixi, I’m so glad to see you again..."

Yan Xixi also smiled: "Boss, me too."

Wan Donglin asked: "How is mom’s condition?"

Wan Dongmei sighed deeply: "She just fell asleep; don’t disturb her for now."

Yan Xixi whispered: "Have the test results all come out?"

Wan Dongmei’s smile completely disappeared, and she said solemnly: "I’m afraid the situation is not optimistic. I showed the preliminary reports to three different doctors, and they all reached the same conclusion."

The two looked at each other, unable to say a word.
