One of them is a senior figure, and the other is his own wife; Song Mingqian can't afford to offend either of them.

The man could only stand aside and listen silently.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that they were exposed to too many harmful substances during their research, and after the human body absorbed them, various diseases naturally followed."

Old Master Liu spoke in a calm tone, but his words were like a bombshell.

"So many people have already become seriously ill from radiation, and you still work so hard. You really don't value your own life."

Seeing Song Mingqian's indifferent expression, Old Master Liu felt both heartache and helplessness, and even felt angry just looking at him.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but Song, you're almost forty years old this year. You're not a child anymore."

"You're a married person, yet you're always rushing ahead of the younger generation, vying to do those dangerous and tiring jobs. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to you one day?"

Lin Banxia tightened her grip on the blanket, her eyes flashing as she looked up at Song Mingqian.

She wanted to say something, but felt that her position was inappropriate.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Song Mingqian felt a pang of sadness and quickly waved his hand to explain.

"My health condition is not as serious as I thought. At least for now, I don't feel any discomfort."

"If you really wait until you feel the effects, it will be too late to save your life."

Grandpa Liu was very dissatisfied with Song Mingqian's uncooperative attitude towards treatment and sneered.

"Forget it, why should I care about you guys? You're all made of iron, you can't be killed even if you're hit, what are you afraid of radiation for? You guys are so arrogant!"

Song Mingqian: "..."

Even after so long, this old military doctor is still as irritable and argumentative as ever.

He really had no way to respond to that.

Although Grandpa Liu spoke rather bluntly, he was actually doing it for Song Mingqian's own good.

He has already dedicated enough to his life; it would be such a pity if he were to die young on duty.

"Just keep being your hero. At worst, you'll just die. Only your family will be saddened."

Lin Banxia had been forcibly suppressing her emotions, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but choke up.

She thought that at worst, she and Song Mingqian would just get a divorce and never see each other again.

But they never expected that this would be their final outcome.

The word "death" is truly too heavy.

Lin Banxia knew that her health was not good and was mentally prepared for an accident to happen at any time.

But she absolutely could not accept that Song Mingqian would die before her.

Lin Banxia didn't want to believe what Old Master Liu had just said, but she knew perfectly well in her heart that everything he said was true.

Among the people she knows, there are others with the same job as Song Mingqian.

Dealing with highly hazardous radioactive materials all day long would be unbearable even for someone made of iron.

Among the people she knew, some died unexpectedly, and others contracted incurable diseases.

None of them lived peacefully to the end.

Lin Banxia lowered her eyelashes, her eyes showing a moment of despair.

She has already lost her parents and daughter; does she have to lose her last remaining family member as well?

How could God bear to do this to her?

Lin Banxia has always presented an elegant and composed image to the public.

At this moment, the aura surrounding her seemed so sorrowful.

Song Mingqian noticed that something was wrong with her expression, so he quickly grabbed Old Master Liu's wrist and shook his head at him secretly.

"Don't worry, Dr. Liu, I will definitely follow your medical advice and go to the hospital for check-ups on time."

"But my physical condition is really not as serious as you say. Banxia's heart is not very good either, so please don't scare us on purpose."

Old Master Liu sighed deeply and then gave up.

"Alright, I've finished educating you. It's time to move on to the next one."

After sitting down on the stool that Song Mingqian had brought over, he gestured for Lin Banxia to take out her right hand.

The old man placed two fingers together on her wrist, feeling it carefully.

Time passed second by second, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

Song Mingqian felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.

"How is Banxia doing? She only bumped her forehead, how come it's taking so long to get better... Is there some other problem?"

Song Mingqian bombarded him with a series of questions, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Old Master Liu didn't say anything, but when he was urged on, he slammed the pulse pillow into the medicine box with a stern face and started cursing.

"You're an iron man, fine, but your wife is even more amazing. She can't even feel your pulse. What am I supposed to do?"

Song Mingqian didn't react much when he heard him lecturing him.

Upon hearing that Lin Banxia had a health problem, he immediately showed a look of anxiety and worry.

"Why can't I feel the pulse?"

"I know nothing about medical matters, Mr. Liu, is Banxia alright?"

Knowing how worried he was, Old Master Liu didn't keep him in suspense any longer and just sighed deeply.

"Your Qi and blood are extremely deficient; you should hurry up and replenish your body."

"Young people these days really don't take themselves seriously."

Song Mingqian grew increasingly anxious as he listened, and asked Old Master Liu about various methods to nourish his blood and qi.

Turning back, the man couldn't help but gently rebuke Lin Banxia a few more times.

"Your qi and blood are insufficient. You must not have been eating properly lately. If this continues, how will you take care of yourself?"
