Xiaocong also hurriedly said, "Mom, in the future Xiaocong will eat less and spend less pocket money. The money saved can pay for your meals."
Rong Shaoze’s face was full of dark lines as he coldly chided him, "Shut up! No one thinks you’re mute if you don’t speak!"
Damn, his money was so plentiful it could last several lifetimes, did he really need Xiaocong to save?
Not to mention supporting a food-loving Lin Xinlan, even supporting a hundred of her wouldn’t be a problem.
By talking , he made it seem as though he couldn’t even support his own woman.
Xiaocong, scolded by him, pouted and, propping himself up, heaped a lot of food into Lin Xinlan’s bowl.
"Mom, eat more. You have to finish all the food Xiaocong has served you, as well as the rice Dad has dished out for you."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes flickered slightly as she smiled casually, "Alright, Mommy will finish it all."
She was no longer the sensitive little girl who couldn’t stand the slightest stress.
The words of Rong’s mother, she did not take to heart, nor did she pay too much attention to them.
She was just very touched that Rong Shaoze and Xiaocong were so good to her.
If her body were healthy, she would definitely love them well, take care of them, and ensure they lived happily every day.
But soon she would age, and by then, she might even look older than grandpa did back then...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Lin Xinlan nervously went to Tao Hua’s hospital, where he received her in his office.
She had thought that when facing the results, she would be very scared, very anxious.
However, once she arrived, she actually felt more composed.
No matter the outcome, she would leave it up to fate.
"Dr. Tao, how did the results turn out?" she asked calmly.
Tao Hua’s gaze was solemn as he spoke gravely, "I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t have confidence in curing you right now. These past few days, I’ve studied various antidotes but always fall one component short of completing the antidote. The structure of that component must be very complex, and I don’t know what it is, so I can’t produce the real antidote."
Lin Xinlan clenched her hands tightly in secret, opened her mouth, and after a long while, she finally asked, "Is there really no way at all? There are no options left, right?"
"Unless you find the most crucial ingredient for the antidote, there’s hope for you. When Qiao Yiyang injected the virus into you, did he say anything or make you take anything?"
Lin Xinlan tried hard to remember, but she realized that Qiao Yiyang had left no clues at all.
"He only said that the antidote is in his body, and he didn’t reveal anything else."
Tao Hua frowned slightly, "Now that Qiao Yiyang is also dead, where can we find the antidote from him?"
Lin Xinlan’s heart shuddered, and she asked with a forced smile, "Dr. Tao, do I really have just over two months left to live? Isn’t there any way to extend my lifespan?"
Even an extra day would be good, at least she could look at Rong Shaoze and Xiaocong one more time.
Tao Hua shook his head apologetically, "I can’t extend your lifespan for now. Your body is practically aging a year every day, and by the time you’re exhausted, you’ll probably look like you’re over a hundred years old."
Lin Xinlan trembled violently all over.
Over a hundred years old...
Already aged to the point of complete deformation, entirely altered in appearance.
She gave a bitter smile, "I thought at most I could live to seventy or eighty, I didn’t expect to make it over a hundred... "
"No, to be precise, you’ve only lived a little over two decades. It’s just that your appearance will look like that of someone over a hundred years old."
