For Cao Tianwang, who had lived half his life without illness or disaster, every day felt like an eternity!

Several hours later, the results finally came out!

Director Ma arrived at the father and son's ward with a grave expression. He shook his head and said, "Young Master Cao, the diagnosis is in. Chairman Cao has a very rare disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as 'Lou Gehrig's disease'!"

"What? ALS?" Cao Xiaoliang was shocked.

His family runs a pharmaceutical business, so naturally he knows what kind of illness this is.

This is a globally recognized intractable disease! It's practically incurable, practically the same as a terminal illness!

With this disease, you can only live for two or three years at most!

Moreover, the whole process was extremely painful because the patient was unable to eat due to difficulty swallowing, and in the end, the entire respiratory system failed, leading to suffocation and death!

thump!

Upon hearing the diagnosis, Cao Tianwang, lying in his hospital bed, excitedly rolled over and fell off the bed.

"dad!"

Cao Xiaoliang rushed over.

Cao Tianwang hugged his son and burst into tears.

He's only in his fifties, in the prime of his life, how could he be willing to die!

despair!

fear!

In an instant, all the negative emotions came rushing in.

I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave!

Cao Xiaoliang quickly asked Director Ma, "Director Ma, do you have any special medicine that can slow down the progression of ALS?"

"Um, this..." Director Ma looked somewhat embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "Young Master Cao, your family is in the pharmaceutical business, so you should know that there are currently no effective drugs for treating ALS! Your Cao family used to produce a drug that was quite effective, but you stopped producing it later! As for the drug that your Cao family is selling now, its effect... to be honest, it doesn't have much of an effect!"
