Li Jue had never felt so desperate, not even on the day he transmigrated and learned that he had entered the body of Li Chengqian's son, who had already been demoted from the capital.

Although his medical skills were terrible, he was still able to determine through simple heart sounds that his aunt had a heart disease, and it was very likely a problem with the heart valve or pericardial effusion.

In later times, these two issues would not be considered problems at all; in fact, they would be considered minor surgeries in larger hospitals.

However, this minor ailment would have been considered a terminal illness in the Tang Dynasty.

"Auntie, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth!"

"Actually, I know even if you don't say it. I've had this illness for many years, and many doctors have diagnosed me and said I wouldn't live to adulthood..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue gained a new understanding of the medical skills of the Tang Dynasty.

He only managed to make a preliminary diagnosis of his aunt's condition by using tools like a stethoscope, yet the doctors of the Tang Dynasty were able to accurately determine his aunt's lifespan simply by taking her pulse.

Compared to the other two, my mediocre skills are really not up to par.

“Since Auntie is already prepared, then I will speak frankly.”

"Your illness is very difficult to treat..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi immediately showed a shocked expression.

"Nephew, say that again?"

"I told you that your illness is very difficult to treat..."

"Auntie, do you think I'm being too blunt?"

"No, no, no, you mean it's difficult to treat, right?"

"yes!"

Sizi smiled happily upon hearing this.

"Nephew, to be honest, this is the best news I've heard in years!"

"ah?"

Li Jue asked, puzzled.

"Auntie, what kind of good news is this?"

Si Zi chuckled upon hearing this.

"Nephew, do you know what everyone's saying?"

"have no idea……"

"Everyone else says this is an incurable disease, that only a miracle worker could cure it. Only you say it's difficult to cure, very difficult... Although it's difficult, it can still be cured, right?"

"Yes, yes... but it's really difficult..."

How difficult is it?

Faced with his aunt's earnest gaze, Li Jue was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing Li Jue's predicament, Si Zi smiled encouragingly.

“Nephew, just say whatever you want to say. Your aunt is already prepared.”

"I won't lie to you, I've actually secretly looked at the cemetery, and I even told your grandfather that after I die, I'll leave all my property, money, and jewelry to you so you can conduct experiments and realize your dream of iron birds flying in the sky and fire-breathing vehicles running on the ground as soon as possible..."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue felt his mind explode. Although he hadn't spent much time with his aunt, this sunny girl had given him a great deal of help.

The biggest help she received was that she never mocked her dreams. No matter how outlandish her ideas were, she would listen attentively.

It can be said that this was his only confidant in the Tang Dynasty!

However, this aunt, who was as innocent as an angel, was about to die from a minor heart condition...

Hearing that his aunt was going to leave her entire inheritance to him to help him realize his dreams, Li Jue felt a lump in his throat, and tears welled up uncontrollably on the spot.

"Auntie, I promise... I promise I will cure you, sob sob sob..."

“Nephew, don’t cry. You don’t need to feel sorry for me. Actually, I have lived a very happy life.”

"I have a father who dotes on me, and an older brother who dotes on me. Moreover, I have lived a life of luxury since birth. I am already much happier than most people in the world..."

"But...but you're only twelve years old, you're still...still so young, how can I...how can I bear to see you...see you die, sob sob sob..."

Upon hearing this, Si Zi pinched Li Jue's chubby cheeks.

What's wrong with dying?

"We will all die, won't we?"

“Your grandfather will die, your father will die, and naturally I will die too…”

"But...but you haven't gotten married yet...you haven't enjoyed...you haven't experienced real life, sob sob sob..."

Upon hearing this, Si Zi hugged Li Jue tightly and said softly while holding him.

"yes……"

"This is indeed the biggest regret of my life, but what can I do?"

"Fate is such, and human effort has its limits..."

Hearing this, Li Jue felt an even greater, almost unbearable pain in his heart. He struggled to break free and then looked resolutely at his aunt.

"Auntie, believe me, I will definitely find a way to cure you!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Auntie believes you're the best, you'll definitely be able to cure Auntie, hehehe..."

Seeing his aunt comforting him with such a smile, Li Jue felt even more bitter inside.

"Auntie, I really do have a way, but it's very difficult and risky."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi immediately became serious and looked solemnly at Li Jue.

"Tell me, what exactly is the method?"

Li Jue raised his hand and tapped his aunt's chest.

"There are two options. One is to cut open here and repair the damaged area. The other is to use a thin syringe to insert here and drain the effusion from the pericardial effusion..."

"hiss!"

Even though Si Zi was mentally prepared, she was still terrified when she heard her nephew's idea.

Are these the only two options?
