Zeng Limin’s face was ashen, but after calming down slightly, he asked directly, “If we were to undergo treatment, how much longer could my father live?”
The old man must survive, even if he’s barely hanging on, he represents the foundation of the Zeng family. No one can trample over it.
Madam Zeng also chimed in, “Yes, Dr. Guo, if we try to treat him, we want him to live for as long as he can.”
Dr. Guo looked shocked, “Mr. Zeng, Mrs. Zeng, the treatment process will be very painful. Furthermore, given your father’s age, it is uncertain whether he can withstand it or not. Shouldn’t we discuss it with him first?”
They are truly disregarding the old man’s suffering by insisting on treatment.
Enraged, Zeng Limin barked, “I just want my father to be alive!”
As Dr. Guo was about to continue persuading, the door swung open. Xiao Zhou rolled in Elder Zeng in a wheelchair.
Xiao Zhou gave Zeng Limin and his wife a complex look, before bowing his head and maintaining a blank expression.
“Dad, why why are you here?” Zeng Limin stuttered, “Weren’t you resting in the ward?”
Elder Zeng snorted coldly, “Humph, if I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that my good son wanted to push me into a blazing pit.”
“Dad,” Tian Xiuli was visibly unhappy, “Why would you say that? We just want you to live, what’s wrong with that?”
“True, you did nothing wrong. You just want me to live a life worse than death.” Elder Zeng rebuked sarcastically, “Should I be thanking you?”
Zeng Limin and his wife were left speechless.
Elder Zeng didn’t spare his son and daughter-in-law another glance. Instead, he looked at Dr. Guo and calmly asked, “So, Dr. Guo, can you confirm that I have terminal pancreatic cancer?”
Just as Dr. Guo was about to speak, a nurse brought over a report.
After reviewing the final two items in the report, Dr. Guo’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
His gaze lingered on Elder Zeng, uncertain.
Elder Zeng roared, “Dr. Guo, I want the truth!”
He sighed then declared, “Elder, the final test results came out. All the data confirms that you indeed have pancreatic cancer, and it’s already at an advanced stage. Any treatment would be fruitless.”
Zeng Limin’s face turned pale immediately, looking ghastly.
“This This can’t be!” Zeng Limin shouted in disbelief, “You must have diagnosed incorrectly.”
He lunged forward, grabbing Dr. Guo by the collar, yelling, “You must have made a mistake. How can my father have such a serious illness? Every time he comes in for medical examination, how do you even check? How did you miss such a serious issue?”
“Enough!” Elder Zeng raised his voice, “Zeng Limin, stop your foolishness!”
Afterward, he instructed Xiao Zhou, “Xiao Zhou, let’s leave. Back to the nursing home!” His expression slightly melancholy.
However, before they got the chance to leave, Xiao Zhou’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Zhou said, “Elder, it’s Elder Jiang!”
“Pick it up!” Elder Zeng let out a sigh, “Tell him straight up about my late-stage pancreatic cancer!”
As Xiao Zhou responded to the call, “Elder Jiang, yes, what? Alright, I’ll hand the phone to Elder.”
Following that, he handed the phone to Elder Zeng and exclaimed, “Elder, Elder Jiang said that your disease can be cured!”
“What?”
Everyone present was taken aback.
Zeng Limin and his wife, in particular, were visibly agitated.
