"I took a bite of the cream cake, then found it too sweet and threw up, and then my stomach started to cramp in waves."

I struggled to recount what had just happened, and then, thinking about the events of the past few days, I reached into my bag and took out the immune-boosting medication that Xu Jin had asked the doctor to prescribe for me.

“Shen Zhixia has been forcing me to take this medicine these past few days, but I gag myself and vomit it out. I don’t know if it will have any effect.”

Meng Jinghuai frowned, reached out and took the medicine I handed him. Before even looking at it, he began to speak, "Your health is already poor, why are you still gagging? Gagging has a great impact on your stomach and will only worsen your condition."

"If I don't take this medicine, Shen Zhixia won't let me go out."

I explained, panting, then leaned back in my chair and breathed softly.

Meng Jinghuai sighed helplessly and quickly checked the medicine I handed him.

After a long pause, he put down the medicine with a serious expression. "If you didn't have stomach cancer, this medicine would indeed be good for your body and could improve your immunity. But you are currently undergoing chemotherapy, and your immune system is already weakened. Forcing your immune system to be strengthened all at once will only make your body more vulnerable."

I gave a mocking laugh. "Xu Jin had that unscrupulous doctor prescribe it for me."

Have you been to any other hospitals recently?

Meng Jinghuai sensed something was wrong and immediately asked, "Did Shen Zhixia find out you have stomach cancer?"

I shook my head with difficulty and began to talk about what had happened recently.

“I had a fever a couple of days ago, and it wouldn’t go down. She and Xu Jin took me to the hospital. Later, when she saw that my fever wouldn’t go down, she started to suspect that there was something wrong with my body. She had that unscrupulous doctor that Xu Jin had bribed to examine me. The final result was that I had been through too much recently, so my immune system was weak.”

"So they prescribed me those immune-boosting medications."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinghuai clenched his fist angrily, "That Xu Jin, how can she be so troublesome! I'm going to expose that hospital and ruin its reputation!"

"do not go."

I immediately stopped Meng Jinghuai and continued, "Xu Jin was never a good person to begin with. If you go there, what difference is there between you and a lamb entering a tiger's den?"

Meng Jinghuai sighed helplessly and turned to get the blood-drawing equipment.

"Wait here for me. I'll go get a needle to draw your blood and then we'll look at the blood data analysis report."

"it is good."

I responded softly and sat down in Meng Jinghuai's office to wait for him.

Half an hour later, Meng Jinghuai hurried over with my blood data analysis report, looking serious.

"Nan Chen, let's go find Dr. Lin now."

"it is good."

I got up and followed him toward Dr. Lin's office.

After taking a couple of steps, Meng Jinghuai seemed to finally realize something was wrong. He quickly reached out to support me and led me to Dr. Lin's office.

When we arrived, Dr. Lin was seeing patients, so we stood outside and waited for him to finish before going in.

As soon as the ward door closed, Dr. Lin frowned and looked at me.

Has your condition relapsed?

"Yes, my stomach has been cramping. I took two strong painkillers and it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

I spoke softly about my situation, as if I didn't care about my body at all.

Dr. Lin looked at me in shock, and then her voice suddenly rose a octave, “Two painkillers?!”

The next second, he turned to look at Meng Jinghuai with an unfriendly gaze.

"Meng Jinghuai, is this how you prescribe medicine for patients?! Don't you know his physical condition? You actually gave him two painkillers."

"I……"

Meng Jinghuai opened his mouth to explain, but the truth was that he really had prescribed that special painkiller.

I reached out and pulled Meng Jinghuai aside, explaining, "This has nothing to do with Jinghuai. It's just that this illness is really painful, and I couldn't stand it, so I took two painkillers."

“Jing Huai didn’t know I would take such a large dose of painkiller, so please don’t blame him.”

For the past two days, my stomach has been cramping slightly, and I've been trying to bear it. But today is different. Today at the orphanage, I don't want to show any weakness, and I don't want Teacher Li Jingtao to worry.

Dr. Lin looked at me angrily, "Don't you know your own physical condition? Do you know how much two strong painkillers are? If you continue taking medication like this, your drug resistance will become stronger and stronger, and eventually even anesthetics won't be very effective for you."

"I...I know."

I responded softly to Lin Sheng's words, appearing completely attentive to the doctor's instructions.

After Dr. Lin had calmed down, he sighed helplessly and said, "Show me the blood data analysis report."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinghuai quickly handed over my blood data analysis report with both hands.

After Dr. Lin picked it up and examined it carefully, his brows furrowed even more.

Were you sick a while ago?

"Yes, I have a fever."

I didn't hide my illness from people, because the more I hid it, the harder it would be to see a doctor.

Dr. Lin frowned even more. "Tell me about how you got sick and had a fever, and what medicine you've been taking recently."

My hands, which were at my sides, tightened slightly. My eyelids drooped, and I slowly recounted the general course of events.

“I had a fever a few days ago and almost fainted. Then Shen Zhixia and Xu Jin took me to the hospital. The doctor there put me on an IV drip, but I didn’t know what kind of medicine it was. Later, the doctor also prescribed some medicine to boost my immunity, and Shen Zhixia forced me to take it…”

I had barely finished speaking when the doctor interrupted me sharply.

"Nonsense!"

"Your cancer cells are spreading quite rapidly right now, how can you still be taking random medications?!"

"Do you know that the special drug that inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells is supposed to work slowly? But because of everything that's happened to you, the special drug isn't even having any effect on your body. If this continues, you..."

Dr. Lin stopped abruptly at this point, but I understood what he meant.

The gist of it is that if I continue to act so carelessly, I'll die sooner or later.

But I never intended to live much longer.

Perhaps for me, dying young is a kind of relief.

Standing next to me, Meng Jinghuai seemed to sense that my will to live was slowly waning. He reached out and placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. "Nanchen, you need to cooperate with the treatment. You are still young, and there are many possibilities for your future."

I remained silent and did not speak.

After hearing this, Dr. Lin, who was sitting at his desk, remained silent for a long time before ordering several tests for me.

"Finish all these tests today. Remember, don't take any medication without consulting a doctor."

"Okay, I remember."

This time, I carefully remembered what Dr. Lin said.

For the rest of the time, I forced myself to complete each of the tests that Dr. Lin had prescribed for me.

After all the tests were completed, I sat panting in the hospital corridor.

"Nan Chen, it's okay, everything will be alright."

I didn't respond, but suddenly turned to him and asked him another question.

"Are you busy recently?"
