Power and Wealth Chapter 834: Saving Yuehua

Chapter 834: Saving Yuehua

Night.

The Second Hospital quieted down as most visitors had left.

Dong Xuebing looked at the time. 12.30 am. He secretly walked out of his ward and looked at the nurse station. The night shift nurse was facing her PC, typing a report. He walked a few steps to the stairwell, and the nurse did not notice him. Once inside the stairwell, he hurried to Geng Yuehua’s ward upstairs.

The door was closed, and there was no one around.

Geng Xinke was sleeping on a bench at a distance. He did not leave the hospital and was there to accompany his sister.

Inside the ward.

Dong Xuebing tiptoed into the ward.

Geng Yuehua, also in a patient gown, was lying in bed, looking at the ceiling. Her eyes were opened, and she was awake. Dong Xuebing could see bandages on her stomach, and she had wires attached to her body. The monitor beside her showed her heart rate and blood pressure. Her heart rate was 72, and her blood pressure was 60/90. It was low but still within the normal range.

Dong Xuebing closed the door behind him and said softly. “Why are you not sleeping?”

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing calmly. “I slept the whole day. I am not sleepy.”

“You should rest even if you are not sleepy. You had just finished a major operation and needed rest.” Dong Xuebing walked over and sat beside her. He reached out and held her hand.

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing with a poker face. “You had heard about it.”

“Who doesn’t know about it in Nan Shan District?”

“I had not told you about my cancer. Are you mad at me?”

“No. I am mad at myself for not noticing it earlier. I should have guessed it.” Dong Xuebing replied. “If you did not have a terminal illness, you would not have slept with me, right?”

Geng Yuehua kept quiet for a few seconds and said. “This is not important now. I need to thank you for saving me again. You had saved me when I jumped from the five-story during the earthquake, and this is the second time you saved me.”

“You don’t need to thank me.”

“I got to thank you when I have the chance.”

Dong Xuebing stared at Geng Yuehua. “What are you talking about? You have all the time to thank me. If I can save you twice, I can save you the third time.”

“It’s useless.” Geng Yuehua was calm. “My cancer is late-stage.”

“So what if it’s end-stage?” Dong Xuebing said. “I can still save you.”

Geng Yuehua replied weakly. “Alright. Go back. I still have checks tomorrow, and I got to rest early.”

“What checks?”

“The doctors want to check on my cancer condition again.”

“Then the more I cannot leave.”

“My brother is still outside. Go back now.”

“I will not leave even if your brother is in the ward. Who knows if I can see you again tomorrow? Your doctor said you might….” Dong Xuebing could not continue the sentence.

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing and said firmly. “You don’t need to care about me from today onwards. Go back to your ward.”

Dong Xuebing ignored her. “Do you think I will go back as you wanted? How can I ignore you when something like this happens to you?”

Geng Yuehua’s face changed. “Dong Xuebing!”

After saying Dong Xuebing’s name, she started coughing hard again.

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. What was going on between them? Why did they argue whenever they met? Geng Yuehua was sick, and he should not make her angry.

“I will get you some water.”

“Cough… cough… no need.”

Dong Xuebing poured a glass of water for Geng Yuehua and wiped her mouth with a clean handkerchief. The handkerchief was stained with her blood, making his heartache. She did not look like her usual overbearing self. Although she spoke with a cold tone and was still unapproachable, she was weak and pale.

Dong Xuebing quickly said. “You don’t have much time now. Listen to me first. You should know that I know a bit of medicine.”

Geng Yuehua closed her eyes and replied. “I heard about it. You had treated Wang Anshi’s appendicitis.”

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing continued. “But I am sure you don’t know this. I can treat cancer.”

Geng Yuehua frowned and opened her eyes suddenly. “Cancer?”

“I can treat all stages of cancer.”

“Even all the scientists in the world cannot treat cancer, and you can?”

“Believe me, Yuehua. When did I lie to you?”

Geng Yuehua asked. “How are you going to treat me?”

“You don’t need to know.” Dong Xuebing stroked Geng Yuehua’s hair. “All you need to do is to close your eyes and have a good night’s sleep. I promise all your cancer cells will be gone by tomorrow morning.”

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing coldly. “Do you think I will believe you?”

“I don’t care whether you believe it or not. I will still treat you.”

“That means I can’t choose?”

“You can say that. Don’t you want to try your luck? Are you so looking forward to dying?”

Geng Yuehua replied calmly. “I was prepared to die six months ago.”

Dong Xuebing said. “What will happen to your parents and your brother? All your problems will be gone after you die. What about the rest?”

Geng Yuehua did not say anything.

After a while, Geng Yuehua sighed. This was the first time Dong Xuebing saw her with this expression. “I am worried about Xinke. He…. He had been eager for quick success and was immature. It’s my fault for spoiling him. I shouldered all responsibilities and didn’t let him suffer. If I am gone, Xinke….” She looked at Dong Xuebing. “Help me take care of him and my parents. Don’t let them do anything foolish.”

“It’s only until now that you thought of me.”

“I don’t have friends.”

“Then what am I?”

Geng Yuehua sighed. “Nobody.”

“If I am a nobody to you, why should I take care of your family?”

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing coldly. “Then get out! I don’t need you to care for my family.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Look at you. You are always getting mad at me. I will not help you. If you need someone to take care of your family, do it yourself.”

“I said I don’t have much time left.”

“I told you that I can treat you.”

Geng Yuehua got mad. “Then treat me now! Do you think I don’t want to live?!”

Dong Xuebing agreed. “I am waiting for you to say this. But I have a request. Don’t tell anyone I had treated you if you are healed tomorrow. Not even your family. Promise?”

Geng Yuehua ignored Dong Xuebing. She did not believe he could treat her.

Dong Xuebing said gently. “Alright. You should sleep now.”

Geng Yuehua closed her eyes and opened against a few seconds later. She looked at Dong Xuebing. “Promise me. Help me take care of my parents and brother if I am not around.”

“I said you can do it yourself.”

“I want you to promise me! Or else, I will not go in peace.”

Dong Xuebing hesitated for a second. “Fine. I promise you. No one can harm your family as long as I am alive.”

Geng Yuehua nodded and sighed. She seemed to have no more worries. “Thank you. I will repay you in my next life.”

“How are you going to repay me?”

“I will take care of you.”

“How are you going to take care of me?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Geng Yuehua replied. “I will be your mother.”

Dong Xuebing almost fainted. “Why can’t you be my daughter?”

“You will be caring for me if I am your daughter. I said I will take care of you.”

“No way! I will not be your son.” Dong Xuebing retorted. “You are taking advantage of me. No. You will be my wife in your next life.”

Geng Yuehua’s face changed slightly, but she did not say anything.

Dong Xuebing asked. “Do you agree?”

“Talk again in my next life.” Geng Yuehua did not answer.

“Sigh…. We can talk about this another time.” Dong Xuebing kissed Geng Yuehua’s forehead. “Sleep.”

Geng Yuehua stared at Dong Xuebing coldly. “Who allowed you to kiss me?”

“Huh? It’s not the first time.”

Dong Xuebing grumbled to himself. You don’t even allow a kiss and still, say I am a nobody to you. Why did you ask me to take care of your family? Geng Yuehua was cold on the outside and warm inside. She will never admit to Dong Xuebing that she trusts him. Asking him to take care of her family meant he held a special place in her heart.

Dong Xuebing was easily satisfied. He pulled up the blanket and sat beside Geng Yuehua, looking at her beautiful face.

Geng Yuehua’s face was pale, and it made her look prettier.

Geng Yuehua was always beautiful, even when she was sick.

Ten minutes later. Geng Yuehua’s breathing slowed down gradually.

Dong Xuebing had been hospitalized numerous times after entering the government service. He knew how to look at the stats on the devices. He looked at Geng Yuehua’s heart rate and knew she was asleep. He took a deep breath and slowly unbuttoned her gown. She was not wearing a bra under her patient gown, and her breasts were exposed.

Dong Xuebing was not in the mood to admire the view in front of him. He held his breath and focused. He placed his palm on her lungs and focused on her nose, neck, and other areas where cancer had spread. He was going to use REVERSE on these areas and had no intention to treat the wounds on her stomach. It would be weird if her open wound healed so fast.

Let’s start.

REVERSE!

Geng Yuehua’s body jolted, and most of her body’s condition started to return in time.

Five months….

One year….

Two years….
