The man hesitated for a moment, turned around and went to the room to call Zhao Lifen. After a while, he came out with the phone and handed it to Lu An Ning.
"Lifen wants to talk to you!"
Just as Lu An Ning took it, Zhao Lifen's cautious and vigilant voice came to his ears: "Are you, the Fifth Miss?"
"It's me."
Zhao Lifen lowered her voice and pleaded, "Fifth Miss, I've made it very clear. Why are you going to look for my man now? He knows nothing. Please don't embarrass him."
"I brought Professor Alice here. She has a way to cure your husband, perhaps without surgery. You should talk to your husband about it. You know, she's very busy, and it's a great honor for her to take the time to come here."
Zhao Lifen was a little bit unconvinced: "You brought the professor to my house? Professor Alice, she's actually in my house, she's willing to treat my husband, is that true?"
"If you don't believe me, I can have the professor video call you."
After a while, Zhao Lifen's video call came in. An Li picked up the phone. The moment she saw who it was, Zhao Lifen's voice trembled.
"Professor, can you really cure my man?"
"I'm here and I'll do my best. I'll need to check your husband's pulse first to understand the specific situation. If you're willing, I can treat him. Don't worry, I won't charge you any money."
The professor had promised it himself, so Zhao Lifen dared not disbelieve it. She nodded repeatedly and kept thanking him before hanging up.
The man heard the promise with his own ears, but still didn't quite believe it.
After all, many barefoot doctors had claimed they could cure him over the years, but in the end, despite spending all his money and taking all the medicine, he still couldn't recover. In fact, he had already given up all hope for his illness.
With his wife's affirmation, the man cooperated with An Li to start the consultation, but he still didn't dare to hold any hope in his heart.
After that, the room was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's shallow breathing could be heard, and everyone's attention was on the professor.
The professor examined the patient's condition thoroughly, not even asking for past medical records. The long pulse-taking process seemed to stretch on for a century. The professor's brows alternated between relaxed and frowning, and even Lu Anning, watching from the side, couldn't help but tense up.
After about twenty minutes, An Li withdrew his hand.
"What's going on? My condition is incurable! The doctor at the hospital also said that there's no better way for me except a kidney transplant. Otherwise, I'll just have to linger on like this."
"It can be cured."
The professor spoke calmly, as if the man's illness was as simple as a common cold.
"You're not trying to comfort me, are you? My problem isn't ordinary."
"Are you comparing me to those quacks? Your condition hasn't reached its worst point yet. If you wait any longer, you'll have to undergo surgery. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take for seven days to recuperate before starting formal treatment. Your illness is a bit troublesome. If you want to recover as usual, it will probably take a year or two."
"You said I can return to normal?"
An Li chuckled: "Why not? You have to have confidence in yourself. Listen to me, you will definitely get better."
It was agreed before that he didn't have to pay, so An Li wrote a prescription and gave it to Lu An Ning. Some of the medicinal materials were precious and could not be bought in ordinary pharmacies, but for Lu An Ning, they were easy to get.
The man was a little excited and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Even after personally sending them to the door, the man still felt like he was dreaming and repeatedly confirmed with Professor An.
"Professor, are you sure my illness can really be cured?"
"I guarantee on my honor that I can cure you. Just relax and take your medicine on time."
When leaving, Lu An Ning didn't know if it was his illusion, but he vaguely saw that the man standing by the door had red eyes.
"Zhong Ling, when you bring the medicine over later, please go to the supermarket to buy some food and daily necessities."
As the three of them were talking, they didn't expect to run into Zhao Lifen at the gate of the community.
Zhao Lifen walked towards them quickly, and only when she got closer did she confirm that she was not mistaken. It was indeed Professor Alice, whom even money could not afford.
Such a great man actually came to treat her husband in person. She was so scared, what if all this was just a dream...
"Miss, you..."
"The professor is confident that your husband's illness can be cured. A transplant isn't necessary. Now, you can rest assured."
Zhao Lifen was so excited that she was speechless when she heard the good news. As soon as she opened her mouth, tears began to fall unconsciously.
After a while, she slowly came to her senses and looked at Lu An Ning firmly, as if she had made a decision.
"I will always remember your kindness, young lady. Whatever you need me to do, I will do my best."
"No rush. You've asked for leave, haven't you? Go back to see your husband. It's not too late to talk about our time together later."
There are too many people here and it's not a good place to talk.
Lu Anning briefly exchanged a few words with Zhao Lifen before accompanying An Li into the car. Watching Zhao Lifen hurried into the residential complex, she felt a wave of emotion. Even with a husband in poor health, Zhao Lifen remained loyal to him, demonstrating her deep appreciation for love and loyalty.
Unfortunately, Ji Yan was not kind to her and she missed out on a loyal servant.
On the way, Lu Anning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Lifen is willing to help us. We should be able to get evidence against Ji Yan soon. Then, we can expose her to the reporters and ruin her reputation."
Ideally, she could find direct evidence of her mother's murder and send Ji Yan to prison in one fell swoop. That would be truly satisfying.
An Li curled her lips slightly and looked out the window.
"That's not a rush. Have you ever seen a cat catching a mouse?"
Before a cat kills a mouse, it will play with it for a while. It is most interesting to watch it struggle to death.
