"Maybe... my granddaughter will wake up in a few days. Grandpa will be here waiting for you and staying with you."
Grandpa Shen sat in Shen Bingyan's room all night, watching his beloved granddaughter never wake up again. Grandpa Shen's hair turned white overnight from grief.
He resented the injustice of fate, wondering why the Shen family had suffered from this disease for generations.
He hated God for taking away his most beloved granddaughter.
The news that Shen Bingyan had been rescued but was now dying from a relapse of her illness reached the rest of the Shen family.
The next day, the Shen family returned to the villa.
However, Old Master Shen ordered that no one was allowed to visit Shen Bingyan.
Unable to find either Grandpa Shen or Shen Bingyan, the group could only sit on the sofa with sorrowful faces.
They were indeed very jealous of Shen Bingyan, who was favored by Old Master Shen.
Even in order to pave the way for Shen Bingyan, Old Master Shen made a series of ruthless decisions within the Shen family.
Upon learning that Shen Bingyan had fallen into a coma at such a young age, the Shen family members could only feel a sense of shared sorrow and sympathy.
"Sigh, Bingyan is still so young. What if this disease starts affecting younger and younger people?"
Seeing that no one on the sofa spoke, a woman took the initiative to speak, glancing worriedly at her children as she spoke.
What if my children are the same age as Shen Bingyan? What if this disease evolves?
The others were already in low spirits, and hearing the woman say that made them even more depressed. A sense of fear of death weighed on everyone's hearts, and they felt that the entire Shen family was being targeted by the Grim Reaper.
Death stood right behind them, watching them coldly, and then swung his scythe.
This time it was Shen Bingyan who died, so who will die next?
No one can predict when they will die, but they know that none of the Shen family members can escape this curse.
"Has the old man not come out of his room yet? He hasn't eaten all day."
“His body can’t take it if he doesn’t eat. If the old man collapses, our Shen family will be reshuffled.”
"Who will bring the old man his meal?"
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties looked around at the Shen family members, hoping someone would step forward and persuade the old man to eat.
No one wanted to disturb the old man who was immersed in grief. In the entire family, only Shen Bingyan dared to confront the old man head-on. Everyone else was terrified of him, like mice seeing a cat.
Anyone who dares to go in at this time is likely to be beaten out on the spot by the enraged old man.
The crowd nudged each other with their eyes, but no one uttered a sound.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Perhaps we can try finding a miracle doctor."
"I don't know if you've heard, but the minister contracted a strange illness a few days ago, an illness that even the directors of the Medical Association can't cure."
"But he was cured by the miracle doctor, and Leader Yang even publicly apologized online, saying that he had wronged the miracle doctor."
“The miracle doctor can cure the minister and Mrs. Yang’s illnesses. Perhaps we can ask him to come and take a look.”
The person speaking was Mrs. Shen, who had attended the ladies' gathering before and heard Mrs. Yang mention the miracle doctor there.
After that day, she told her husband about it, but he felt that no one could cure the Shen family's illness and did not talk to Old Master Shen about it.
She had originally planned to give up, but the news of Boss Yang's apology online had been circulating among the wives' circle in the past few days, which made her desire to invite the miracle doctor even more intense.
Mrs. Shen's husband did not hold a high position in the Shen family. After hearing his wife's words, he unconsciously frowned.
But with so many people around, he couldn't very well scold his wife in public. So he could only purse his lips and look at her, using his eyes to remind her not to say anything out of line.
So many respected elders of the Shen family are sitting here.
As expected, when Mrs. Shen said these words, she was met with skepticism from everyone.
"Wasn't he locked up? If he's really that capable, why isn't he employed by the Medical Association?"
"I heard someone who attended Mrs. Yang's birthday party mention that this miracle doctor seems to be only in his twenties, and it seems that he has been hyped up by others."
“Our Shen family’s illness is different from those people’s illness. Even the president of the Medical Association couldn’t cure our illness. How could he, an unknown miracle doctor, possibly cure our illness?”
Hearing the doubts raised by several respected elders of the Shen family, Mrs. Shen was momentarily speechless. If it weren't for her low status, she would have already gone to invite the miracle doctor herself.
Mrs. Shen had been inquiring about it and heard that many prominent families in the capital had invited the divine doctor to their homes, but the doctor had refused them all.
Upon hearing this news, Mrs. Shen regretted not having invited the miracle doctor over before he became famous!
As a result, he wanted to think it over again and see the outcome of Zhou Yi's showdown with Dr. Zhang at the birthday banquet before making any decisions.
Unexpectedly, things took a series of twists and turns after the birthday party.
After the miracle doctor was released from the detention center, and with Leader Yang personally apologizing, the doctor's current status was incomparable to what it used to be.
Although her husband was somewhat powerful, he was still far inferior to the great families of Kyoto.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen thought of having the Shen family invite the miracle doctor to visit.
Mrs. Shen's eyes flickered slightly. She was still unwilling to give up. She bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind to fight for herself.
It was her hesitation that caused her to miss the best opportunity to invite the miracle doctor.
Now, even if everyone has doubts, she will still try to fight for it.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen mustered her courage and continued, "How will you know the miracle doctor is incompetent if you don't try?"
"I have always believed in the saying, 'There are always people better than you, and there is always a higher level to reach.'"
"Perhaps there's someone even more capable than the association's president? Someone even more capable than Dr. Ouyang? If we invite this miracle doctor over, and he can cure our illness, we'll have made a profit."
"If he really can't do it, then we haven't lost anything, have we?"
“I know my position is not enough for you to take my advice, but I am speaking from a mother’s perspective for my children.”
“My children are the same age as Shen Bingyan, and I’m really afraid that I will be the one to bury my children.”
"Even if you don't believe me, could you please help me out, just because I'm a member of the Shen family, and because my children call you uncles, great-uncles, and great-great-grandparents?"
"Could you please use the Shen family's name to invite a renowned doctor for me?"
"I will never forget your great kindness in my life."
Mrs. Shen did not want to show her weakness in front of everyone, but when she thought that her children were destined not to live long from the moment they were born, she was heartbroken.
