Irene held Ashburn, looking worried, "Is it too tired?" Because of her illness, Ashburn took care of her making all-out efforts, and she felt guilty as a mother.
Ashburn smiled and reassured her, "It's okay, Mom, just sit down for a while and I'll be fine."
Ashburn found a chair and sat down, silently closing his eyes. The Mountain Character Scriptures of The Five Techniques of Taoism recorded the method of inward viewing. According to the method, he could easily see his physical condition, including his spiritual cultivation.
There were only 450 years of spiritual cultivation left.
Just now, witchcraft went against the laws of nature and transferred the disease to Eric, causing him to lose 70 years of spiritual cultivation.
But it didn't matter. In the future, by accumulating good deeds, he could make up for his spiritual cultivation. Moreover, there were many cultivation methods recorded in the Mountain Character Scriptures, which could also increase his spiritual cultivation.
For his mother, everything was worth it.
"Mom, let's go take an X-ray."
"Why spend that money......"
"Come on Ma, that's important for me."
Ashburn's inward viewing method could see his own condition, but it was not a pair of fluoroscopic eyes. He could not see Irene's internal condition. He must confirm whether her tumor had disappeared before he could rest assured.
Unable to persuade Ashburn, Irene only agreed to take an X-ray.
Radiology department, CT room.
Ashburn was in the family waiting area.
Also waiting with him were Abigail and Eric.
Eric just had a CT scan and was waiting for the results.
"Ashburn, was that your mother just now?" Abigail glanced at Ashburn.
"Yes."
"I heard from Eric that your mother doesn't have a few days to live, right? Well, thanks to that breaking up with you in time, otherwise, I would be dragged down deadly, can't even imagine what would have if I had married you!" Abigail looked at him meanly. She glanced at him and said, "I heard that you are now the Willow family's live-in son-in-law. Hehe, you have not made any progress at all. When I was a student, I was young and ignorant, so I blindly fell in love with you."
It would never be too harmonious for the ex and the current to face each other. Eric hugged Abigail as if to demonstrate his authority and fondled her back with one hand. He glanced at Ashburn and said, "We will get married next year, Ashburn. Please remember to come and have a wedding drink at that time. I am different from a poor guy like you. I have five real estate licenses, and my parents are both successful in business. I can give Abigail the happiness that you couldn't give."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to drink this wedding wine," Ashburn said calmly.
Abigail sneered, "Oh, look at you, you are envious. Don't worry, I know you are a poor man and I won't accept your red envelopes."
"You'd better marry Eric as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even be a widow," Ashburn replied in a serious tone.
"Ashburn, are you cursing me?" Eric suddenly jumped up.
Ashburn knew that Eric's physical condition was extremely weak at the moment. It would be trouble if Eric bumped into someone, so Ashburn quickly left.
Eric rushed up to hit him, but his physical condition did not allow him to do so, so he knelt in front of Ashburn uncontrollably.
"Hey, Dr. Yates, why should I deserve you in such a great manner? I just gave you a greedy limmer, you don't need to do that." Ashburn stood aside calmly, because of the damn illness, he had adapted to Eric's disposition many times during this period, and now there was no need of putting up with him, 70 years of spiritual cultivation was not a loss.
"Ashburn, who is the limmer?" There were others in the waiting area. Countless eyes were watching. Abigail blushed and did not dare to argue with Ashburn. She went over to help Eric first.
Eric was shaking with anger. Now that the entire department knew that his girlfriend used to have a relationship with Ashburn and that he had knelt in front of Ashburn just now, how could he swallow his anger?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and suddenly a slap fell on Abigail's face, "Go away, you bitch!"
Abigail was stunned and covered half of her red and swollen cheeks, she still didn't make a sound. Eric's family had five apartments!
At this time, a tall and beautiful doctor from the radiology department came out with an X-ray film in her hand.
Abigail chased after him and asked, "Doctor, are the results out?"
The beauty glanced at Eric and waved to him, "Come to my office."
Eric was also a doctor and knew the rules of the hospital. Major illnesses were usually not explained to the patients. He staggered after her, grabbed the beautiful doctor, and took the film from her hand.
Abigail smiled and said, "Eric, it will be okay. You must be too tired recently. Don't be suspicious, you are still so young." But Eric's hand holding the film began to tremble violently, "No way, no way! you must have made some mistakes, I just had a physical examination last month..." Before he could finish his words, blood surged up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the X-ray film.
"It seems that I can't drink your wedding wine." Ashburn walked to Abigail and said calmly.
Abigail seemed to be struck by lightning, dumbfounded. She was from an ordinary family, and it took a lot of effort and many tricks to make Eric fall in love with her.
However, all this... came to nothing in an instant!
Several medical staff were in a hurry and helped Eric to the emergency room.
…
When Irene's results came out, her tumor miraculously disappeared.
The whole department was in a state of excitement. After all, everyone thought that even if Irene underwent surgery, there would only be half a success rate and he would not survive more than two years.
This situation now was simply a fantasy.
Ashburn did not expect the result to be so optimistic. Originally, according to the principle of disease grafting, to completely transform the entire field, Eric's four pillars must match with Irene's. If one pillar was missing, rates would decline a half. If two pillars were missing, it would be just 25% of success.
This was somewhat similar to the lotus theory.
But he didn't expect Eric's to match that of Irene in all four pillars. Maybe it was his fate...
"Mom, let's go."
Ashburn helped his mother leave the radiology department.
Turned around and went to the inpatient department.
Before entering the building, he saw a familiar figure approaching.
Wearing a black one-step skirt, a white lace collar shirt underneath, and a black casual suit as a jacket, it was a very professional outfit, with a hint of sexiness in the rules.
It was Gina Willow.
"Ashburn, why are you here?" Gina was very surprised to see Ashburn.
Then he saw Irene wearing a hospital gown, "What's going on with your mother?"
"It's okay." Ashburn was frustrated.
His mother had been hospitalized for more than a month, but Gina knew nothing about it. On the one hand, she didn't care about his family's affairs, and on the other hand, his mother-in-law stopped him from telling Gina about Irene.
"Oh, fine."
Gina simply responded and walked in wearing black mid-heeled shoes.
Ashburn saw a bunch of gladiolus in her hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
"A partner was discharged from the hospital today, and I came here to pick him up." Gina waved her hand, with a hint of impatience in her eyes. It was only the presence of Irene that prevented her from saying harsh words, "It's useless to tell you about that. You don't understand business after all, how about just washing and cooking at home?”
Looking at Gina's leaving, Irene sighed deeply. From the beginning to the end, Gina never said hello to her.
Irene inferred that Ashburn's life in the Willow family was not easy.
She felt more and more guilty. Hadn't her husband passed away suddenly that year, the family owed a large debt, and threatened by the creditors, Ashburn would not have stepped into Willow's family.
