Zhou Mei gently pressed her small hand on Li Yi's waist with just the right amount of pressure, relieving the tension in his muscles while also providing a subtle tactile sensation.
Li Yi closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort.
As the massage continued, the atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous.
Li Yi knew he couldn't press it any further, because it was already reacting, and pressing it again would definitely cause an accident.
"Alright, that's enough. It's getting late, you should get some rest. You need to go to the hospital to see your mother tomorrow," Li Yi said.
"Okay!" Zhou Mei replied, and after leaving Li Yi's room, she slowly lay back down on the bed.
Thinking about Li Yi's words and actions, his help to her, and his gentlemanly behavior of not taking advantage of her vulnerability, she was filled with gratitude and admiration.
What makes her happiest is that she now has money. Her brother Li Yi transferred ten million yuan to her, which is enough for her to cope with all difficulties.
My life is no longer so hard because I met Brother Li Yi.
This kindness will be etched in my heart, and I will repay it with my whole life.
The next morning, Zhou Mei got up early, washed up, and went outside the hotel to buy breakfast, mainly for Li Yi.
Li Yi didn't get up until 8:30.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Mei came to greet her.
Zhou Mei was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts. Her outfit was simple, but it accentuated her beauty.
Without the worry of raising money for her mother's medical treatment, Zhou Mei became much more cheerful and looked even more beautiful than yesterday.
Li Yi was very satisfied; it truly lived up to its 92-point appearance score.
Before Li Yi could speak, Zhou Mei greeted him with a sweet smile, "Good morning, brother!"
Li Yi: "Good morning."
Zhou Mei: "Brother, breakfast is ready. I don't know if it suits your taste."
Li Yi looked at the coffee table and, sure enough, there was soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and some side dishes like pickled vegetables on it.
Breakfast was simple, but plentiful.
Li Yi: "Thank you, Mei'er. These are all my favorite foods. How did you know I like them?"
Hearing that it was something she liked to eat, Zhou Mei was relieved and said, "Brother, you came from Shancheng, so I did some research online. It seems that people in Shancheng generally like to eat these things, so I bought them. I didn't expect the information online to be correct."
Li Yi nodded, realizing that Zhou Mei had really gone to great lengths. He said, "I see. Come on, let's eat together, and then we'll go to the hospital to visit your mother."
"good!"
The two ate breakfast together.
It was quite late yesterday, and the atmosphere was rather ambiguous, so Li Yi didn't ask Zhou Mei's mother about her condition in detail. Now that they had time for breakfast, Li Yi asked, "Mei'er, what exactly is your mother's illness? Is it serious?"
Mentioning her mother's illness, Zhou Mei couldn't help but feel nervous and sad. She said, "Brother, my mother has leukemia. She's had it for several years, and her condition has worsened in the last two months. She was hospitalized half a month ago. The doctor said that my mother's illness can't be delayed any longer. Ordinary methods are ineffective for her. Only a bone marrow transplant can completely cure leukemia. So, we're raising 500,000 yuan for a bone marrow transplant."
"Bone marrow transplant? Has anyone been a match?" Bone marrow transplants are not suitable for everyone. There must be a match between the patient and the donor before a transplant can be performed. Otherwise, the transplant will not only fail to cure the disease but may also harm the patient.
Zhou Mei nodded and said, "The bone marrow match was successful. My mother and I are a match."
Li Yi: "After the bone marrow extraction, you will be weak for a long time."
Zhou Mei: "It's okay, I'm not afraid. As long as Mom's illness can be cured, I'll give my life for her, no matter how weak she is. My life was given to me by Mom."
Zhou Mei was very filial. Li Yi said, "Silly girl, it's not that serious. Let me go take a look. I'm a doctor too. Maybe your mother can be cured without surgery."
"It can be cured without surgery? Brother, really?" Zhou Mei looked at Li Yi expectantly.
Li Yi said, "Don't worry. My medical skills are excellent."
Zhou Mei: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, brother."
Li Yi originally thought it was some kind of rare or difficult disease, but it turned out to be leukemia.
Leukemia is indeed difficult to treat for others, but it is not difficult for him, a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
In fact, leukemia is a malignant tumor. The deterioration of hematopoietic stem cells leads to an increase in white blood cells, which proliferate in the bone marrow and destroy the normal hematopoietic function, resulting in symptoms such as anemia, infection, and bleeding, which in turn affects the body's overall function and immune capacity.
The reason why leukemia is so serious is that the bone marrow's ability to regenerate is impaired. As long as the bone marrow's regenerative ability is restored, the disease can be easily resolved.
This is the same principle behind bone marrow transplantation.
However, bone marrow transplantation uses someone else's bone marrow. If traditional Chinese medicine is used to treat the patient and activate the vitality of their own bone marrow, then they can recover their health without surgery.
Li Yi already had a general idea of what was going on.
After breakfast, Li Yi took his acupuncture kit, hailed a taxi, and went to the hospital with Zhou Mei.
Coincidentally, the hospital in question is Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
However, it was also a coincidence. Since Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country, Zhou Mei and her friends naturally knew that the success rate of bone marrow transplantation would be very high at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Mei appeared somewhat heavy-hearted, but her eyes shone with a firm belief in her mother's recovery.
"Brother, this way."
Zhou Mei led the way, heading towards the oncology ward.
Inside the ward, sunlight streamed through the half-open curtains, falling on the bed and adding warmth to the somewhat somber space.
