The middle-aged man's face was full of traces of time, with wrinkles extending from his forehead to the corners of his eyes, showing that he had lived an extremely hard life.

Suddenly, he slowly raised his head, and his weather-beaten eyes looked in the direction of Shen Anran.

In those eyes, despair and pain were intertwined, as if he was experiencing inner torment, which made people moved.

When Xiao Lan heard the voice, she immediately turned around and saw Shen Anran appear. Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she saw hope.

She strode forward, her eyes slightly red, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes. She must have cried a lot before.

"Ms. Shen, I thought you wouldn't come." There was a hint of sob in her voice, which was full of excitement and disbelief.

When her mother fainted and was diagnosed with cancer, Xiaolan felt like the sky was falling.

The doctor said that I would need to prepare 500,000 yuan for the surgery, and the subsequent care would even be higher. It may not necessarily cure the disease completely, but it can only control the condition from getting worse.

Their family was already poor, and it was completely impossible for them to come up with 500,000 yuan at once.

Xiaolan tried to contact those relatives, hoping that they would lend them some money for her father's sake.

However, when those relatives learned that they wanted to borrow money, they all made excuses to refuse and even refused to answer their calls.

In despair, Xiao Lan thought of Shen Anran.

Although they had only met once, she decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Shen Anran actually came.

Shen Anran looked at Xiao Lan, her eyes full of concern. She asked, "How is your mother now?"

Hearing this question, Xiaolan's eyes became moist again.

She lowered her head and let the tears slide silently. "It's stomach cancer. The doctor said I need chemotherapy." Her voice trembled and she had to use all her strength to say each word.

At this time, Fu Ying beside her asked, "What stage is the disease at?"

Xiao Lan was brought back to reality by the sudden strange voice. She quickly wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down.

She looked up at Fu Ying, someone she didn't recognize.

The person who could come with Shen Anran should be her friend, Xiao Lan didn't ask any more questions.

"The doctor said that fortunately it was discovered in time and it is still in the early stages of cancer and has not deteriorated to the late stages." Although his voice was choked, his words were still clear.

Fu Ying's expression remained calm upon hearing this. "Where is that doctor now?"

Xiao Lan pointed to a room not far away and replied, "He's in that office."

Fu Ying looked at Shen Anran and said, "I'll go find out about her condition. You stay here with her."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Yingying." A smile appeared in Shen Anran's eyes.

Fu Ying has been abroad for many years and may know a better doctor who can help Xiaolan's mother's condition.

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Fu Ying said and walked towards the doctor's office, with Yan Wen following closely behind.

A smile finally appeared on Xiaolan's father's painful face, and his inner gratitude was beyond words.

"Thank you so much! Xiaolan mentioned to me before that you helped her last time, and we've been looking for a suitable opportunity to thank you. I didn't expect you to be bothered with our family matters again this time. I'm really sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Xiaolan's father was filled with gratitude and didn't know how to repay her. His legs bent involuntarily, as if he was about to kneel down.

This action shocked Shen Anran, and she quickly tried to dissuade him, "Uncle, I really can't stand you doing this!"

Fortunately, Zhou Jingyan, who was standing by, was quick-witted and supported Xiaolan's father in time, preventing him from actually kneeling down.

Shen Anran heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. "Uncle, please don't do this. Xiaolan is my friend. She will definitely help me if she can. If you do this, I will feel guilty."

"Thank you." Xiaolan's father's eyes were filled with tears.

If I hadn't tried so hard to hold it in, I would have burst into tears.

He knew very well that he was the pillar of the family and could not fall down easily, otherwise the whole family would lose its support.

Shen Anran was filled with emotion and said softly, "You're welcome."

She didn't know much about Xiaolan's mother's condition and could only do her best to help.

I don’t know if Fu Ying knows a reliable doctor, or if she can contact a better hospital. If she goes to a place with better medical conditions for treatment, her chances of recovery will be greater.

Although the Shen family has a hospital in S City, it does not have this department, so they cannot help. They can only look for good hospitals abroad.

Even if cancer is in its early stages, if it is not properly controlled, it may deteriorate to the late stage at any time, which is a complete race against time.

At this time, a nurse came out of the ward and explained to the family: "The patient has woken up. When you go in to visit her, be sure not to stimulate her. It is best not to tell her about her condition yet. At this stage, maintaining a good attitude is crucial to treatment."

Xiaolan's father nodded repeatedly when he heard this. "Okay, okay, we will definitely pay attention. Thank you for the reminder, nurse." After saying that, the man strode in.

Xiao Lan stood there for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside, don't worry."

Xiao Lan looked at Shen Anran gratefully, her voice trembling slightly, "Thank you, Miss Shen." After that, she turned and walked into the ward.

Shen Anran leaned back in a chair in the rest area, his expression gloomy, as if he had many thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, Fu Ying and Yan Wen returned together, their expressions were still calm.

Shen Anran looked up at them and asked, "How is Xiaolan's mother?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. I just asked the doctor, and as long as the surgery is done promptly and followed by careful conditioning, I should be able to fully recover."

After hearing this, Shen Anran's tense nerves finally relaxed and she breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good."

"But the doctor said they can only control it and try to prevent the condition from getting worse, but they can't cure it completely. There are still hidden dangers. They recommend going to a better medical environment." Fu Ying said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Shen Anran fixed her gaze on Fu Ying with hope in her eyes.

"Yingying, you must have a way, right?"

Fu Ying nodded, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes. "Well, I know a professor who is very authoritative in this field. I have already sent him the case information. I think he will be able to give me a definite answer this afternoon."

After hearing this, Shen Anran finally felt relieved and said happily, "Thank you, Yingying, you are so kind."

Fu Ying smiled, but a sly look flashed in her eyes: "I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"

Shen Anran felt a little nervous when she heard this, and then she said tentatively: "How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Okay." Fu Ying agreed readily, a smug smile on her face.

However, Zhou Jingyan's face turned gloomy, and he looked at Fu Ying with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to kill her with a knife at that moment.
