The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

"So, what happened next?"

Although she knew that asking such questions might cause Wei Jianjun more pain, Lin Xiyue still asked.

Because she needed to know if the little girl's illness was the same as her guess.

"after......"

Wei Jianjun pondered for a moment.

"After that, those horrible tumors not only did not stop growing, but became even more rampant, growing larger and larger."

Worse still, they began to fester and rot, emitting a foul stench.

Seeing my daughter in such pain, I had no choice but to go to the hospital for treatment again.

But to everyone's surprise, all the doctors shook their heads and said in unison that they had never seen such a strange illness.

Finally, they all advised me to go to the capital as soon as possible to seek treatment at a larger hospital and with specialists.

Then, Wei Jianjun gritted his teeth, desperately trying to suppress the overwhelming pain in his heart. After a long while, he slowly and deliberately continued speaking, word by word.

As the narrative progressed, Wei Jianjun's expression became increasingly ferocious and distorted, as if every word was being squeezed out from between his teeth.

As he spoke, he was in so much pain that he could barely control himself. He could only bite his lip hard and pinch his index finger knuckle to suppress the tears that were about to burst forth, barely managing to keep his words coherent.

"The examinations and treatments during this period have exhausted all my savings, and I have only been able to borrow some money from relatives and friends by piecing together what I could.

If going to the capital can guarantee a cure, I will do everything in my power, even if it means going bankrupt or selling my kidneys or liver, to get my daughter there!

The problem is that when I called those experts and famous doctors in the capital for consultation, the answers I received were extremely disappointing—without exception, they all said they had no confidence in curing this strange disease, and some even directly advised me to give up treatment.

Faced with this situation, I am truly at a loss and don't know what to do...

As Wei Jianjun spoke, he slowly raised his head, his once bright and sharp eyes now dull and lifeless.

"Since things have come to this, I'll stay online. If I'm really at my wit's end, I might as well end my own life."

Anyway, once I die, according to the insurance policy I bought, my daughter will receive a considerable sum of money, enough for her to receive treatment without worry.

After a brief pause, Wei Jianjun continued, as if he had made up his mind.

As he spoke, Wei Jianjun's eyes revealed a complex emotion of despair and sorrow. He stared blankly at a certain spot in front of him, as if he were the only person left in the world, standing alone in an endless abyss of darkness.

"you……"

Lin Xiyue was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll continue."

After taking a deep breath, Wei Jianjun tried to calm himself down and smiled at Lin Xiyue to comfort her.

"You seem to have something to say? It's okay, I understand."

After all, there are so many kind people like us who care about our situation.

And if it weren't for the help and support of all of you kind people, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have given up treatment long ago... I'm truly grateful for everyone's care and concern.

As he spoke, Wei Jianjun's eyes reddened, but he quickly held back his tears—he didn't want to show his vulnerable side to others anymore.

At the same time, however, a deep sense of gratitude welled up inside them—it was because of the existence of so many kind and warm-hearted people that their family, which was in dire straits, was able to continue to provide treatment for their daughter.

It was because of the selfless help, encouragement and support from so many people that he felt there were still many good people in the world.

All of this made the father and daughter feel incredibly warm.

"However, since I've decided to explain these things to you today, I will tell you everything. This way, you won't make the wrong judgment."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Jianjun paused for a moment to compose himself before continuing to speak to Lin Xiyue.

"Just as I was about to end my life, I happened to catch a glimpse of your shop."

Perhaps there really is some mysterious force guiding everything in the dark!

It was then that I noticed that the little sign was completely different from your actual store name.

Filled with doubt, I quickly grabbed a passerby and asked them if they had also seen the same strange sight.

However, to everyone's surprise, they all seemed to think I must be seeing things, that the sign was just an intricate painting and that there were no words on it at all.

Despite the reactions of those around me, a faint but firm voice deep inside me told me: This is no illusion!

So, clinging to my last remaining hope, I resolutely chose to stay where I was and wait—waiting for the moment you would open for business.

Time passed by, minute by minute... Finally, after Wei Jianjun finished recounting the whole story, he stared at Lin Xiyue without moving, his face filled with eager anticipation.

It was as if as long as she could affirm herself, she could rekindle the dying embers of hope in his heart.

Faced with Wei Jianjun's persistent and earnest gaze, Lin Xiyue did not show the slightest annoyance or impatience.

"Please rest assured, all of this is true. Now that you have seen our distinctive signboard with your own eyes, there is no doubt that you are now a customer of our store."

On the contrary, she gave a reply without hesitation and with firm conviction.

"Phew—" With a heavy sigh, Wei Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then... what do I need to give in return? I... I'm willing to give anything! Just please save my daughter!"

Then, he asked in an anxious and trembling voice.

Hearing Wei Jianjun ask this question, Lin Xiyue was taken aback, but when she saw the despair and pleading on the man's face, a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.

Before she could respond, a muffled "thump" was heard, and Wei Jianjun knelt down without hesitation, quickly lowered his head, and pressed his hands tightly to the ground, pleading with Lin Xiyue in an almost humble manner.

Faced with this situation, Lin Xiyue was completely caught off guard and didn't even have time to react.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute! Please get up. There's really no need for this. Please don't get so agitated!"

Only after Wei Jianjun had knelt firmly on the ground did she come to her senses and quickly began to comfort him.

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with concern, but also revealed a hint of helplessness.
