Another doctor came over and said to Wang Yixiao's husband, "This disease requires long-term hospitalization. There is currently no specific medicine to cure it, and we can only use the Medical Cabin system to maintain her life. This Medical Cabin system is not covered by medical insurance, please come here to pay."
"Still need a Medical Cabin?!" Wang Yixiao's husband widened his eyes, "Then when will she get better? How long will she need to stay?"
"...Genetic Disease is incurable, don't you know that? The Medical Cabin can only maintain her basic circulatory system, so she won't die immediately from respiratory failure. As for how long she needs to stay, we don't know. Please pay for a year first, and we will refund any surplus or charge for any deficiency."
"...How much is a year's Medical Cabin fee?"
"One hundred thousand a year."
"We're not treating it." Wang Yixiao's husband blurted out.
"How can you not treat it?! Yixiao earned so much money, and you're saying you won't treat her?" Wang Yixiao's parents were so angry that they started arguing with her husband.
Wang Yixiao's husband justified himself, "It's not that I don't want to save her, you all heard it, Genetic Disease is incurable. Even if it's one hundred thousand a year, it can only keep her in this half-dead state, do you think it's meaningful?"
"Yixiao and I still have two children. In the future, the children will go to college, start families, won't that cost money? Now we're spending all the money on this living dead person. When she dies, the whole family will starve. Would you be satisfied then?"
Wang Yixiao's husband's words left her parents speechless.
They did want to continue to keep Wang Yixiao alive, but the Medical Cabin fee of one hundred thousand a year, even if they could afford it, it was their retirement money...
The two old people hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Xia Chujian didn't show any sympathy.
In her opinion, Wang Yixiao definitely acted so ruthlessly towards her students because these two old people didn't raise her well.
Shen Junyi had seen many such things and wasn't surprised at all.
On the contrary, it was rare for someone like Xia Chujian, who was still a minor, to grit her teeth and bear all the expenses of a seriously ill patient.
Shen Junyi nodded to Xia Chujian and said, "Come with me."
Xia Chujian came to Shen Junyi's office.
This wasn't her first time here, but it was her first time here since Xia Yuanfang was discharged from the hospital.
Coming to Shen Junyi's office again, Xia Chujian's mentality was completely different.
After entering, Shen Junyi first examined her face and frowned, asking, "What happened to your face?"
Xia Chujian said, "What else? Wang Yixiao hit me."
"How can a teacher physically punish a student? Doesn't she know it's illegal?" Shen Junyi said with slight displeasure.
"She turned off the surveillance in her office, so she was completely unrestrained when she hit me." Xia Chujian shrugged, "Moreover, her strength has become particularly great, and her speed is also very fast. I couldn't dodge even if I wanted to."
Shen Junyi frowned, "It will be difficult for your injury to recover in a short time. I'll prescribe some medicine for you."
Xia Chujian thought of the external injury spray she got from the Association at home and quickly said, "No need, we don't have medical insurance, we don't have that much money to buy medicine. This little skin trauma will heal on its own in a few days."
Shen Junyi looked at her, a deep sympathy and pity showing in his eyes.
But he knew Xia Chujian didn't like others pitying her.
Therefore, he quickly withdrew his gaze and took a bottle of ice water from the built-in refrigerator for Xia Chujian, saying, "...Apply it."
She took it, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, and then curiously asked, "Doctor Shen, why does Wang Yixiao need a Medical Cabin? My aunt didn't need it back then..."
To be honest, if Xia Yuanfang had needed a Medical Cabin back then, Xia Chujian would have agreed, but her way of making money would probably not have been to become a Hunter, but to rob...
Shen Junyi shook his head and said, "This person's condition is actually exactly the same as your aunt's back then. The difference is that her symptoms are more severe. Let's put it this way, your aunt's gene chain damage was progressive back then. It wasn't very serious at first, and the normal functions of the body could still be maintained."
"But this patient is different. Her gene chain suffered a huge impact in a short period of time, and even the respiratory system cannot be maintained, so only a Medical Cabin can maintain her most basic life needs."
Xia Chujian asked, "What if she doesn't use the Medical Cabin?"
"She will die completely in just half an hour. Because her blood can no longer circulate oxygen."
It was commonly known as being suffocated to death.
Xia Chujian felt a little uneasy.
She was silent for a while and said, "Doctor Shen, this person is my homeroom teacher. She called me to her office today and threatened me, and she hit me in the face. Then, she suddenly fell ill. I'm very scared..."
Shen Junyi frowned, "So that's how it is. Can you tell me in detail what happened at that time?"
Xia Chujian didn't know if she could let this Doctor Shen know some things.
She thought for a moment and said, "Could you call my aunt over? I'll tell you everything in front of her."
Shen Junyi nodded almost without hesitation, saying, "I wanted to visit your aunt as soon as I got back, but I didn't expect to be summoned to the hospital by an urgent call."
Of course, it was because of Wang Yixiao.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and sent a message to Xia Yuanfang.
Shen Junyi asked, "Your aunt's Smart Bracelet is still working, right?"
Xia Chujian showed off her Quantum Optical Brain: "My aunt and I each bought a Quantum Optical Brain."
Shen Junyi: "...You had enough money to buy a Quantum Optical Brain so quickly?"
Xia Chujian shrugged, "I worked hard for three years and saved some money. I originally kept it for my aunt's medical expenses, but now that she has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, I have no worries. So, one Quantum Optical Brain for each of us, is that a problem?"
"You? No worries?" Shen Junyi smiled.
Xia Yuanfang replied to the message, saying she would be there soon.
Although she said soon, it still took half an hour for Xia Yuanfang to arrive at the hospital on the Inner City Maglev Train.
As soon as Xia Yuanfang entered Shen Junyi's office, she saw Xia Chujian's face and her expression changed drastically. She asked in a cold voice, "Chujian, what happened to your face? Who hit you?!"
Xia Chujian regretted not wearing a mask.
Being questioned by her aunt, she had no choice but to say, "...My homeroom teacher hit me."
"She actually dared to physically punish a student?! I'm going to the school to reason with her! This can't be the end of it! I will make her pay the price! She doesn't deserve to be a teacher!" Xia Yuanfang was very agitated, even more so than when she had been poisoned.
Xia Chujian didn't expect Xia Yuanfang to react so strongly. Surprised, she felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Auntie is right, that kind of person really doesn't deserve to be a teacher. But she has already been punished. She suddenly fell ill and is unconscious."
Xia Yuanfang took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Her gaze turned to Shen Junyi, and she said with a smile, "Doctor Shen, we meet again. I was too angry just now, I apologize for making you laugh."
Shen Junyi shook hands with Xia Yuanfang in a gentle and refined manner, saying, "It's okay. Anyone would be angry to see their loved ones beaten like this. It's human nature, why would I laugh?"
"I should be the one apologizing to Yuanfang. I made a wrong diagnosis and made Yuanfang suffer for three years."
"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?" Xia Yuanfang sat down politely, glanced at Xia Chujian, and asked, "Why aren't you at school at this time? Why did you run over to Doctor Shen's office?"
Xia Chujian lowered her head, looking honest and obedient.
Shen Junyi said, "Now that your aunt is here, can you tell us?"
Xia Chujian quickly glanced at Xia Yuanfang.
Her glance was meaningful.
Xia Yuanfang understood and said with a smile, "Doctor Shen is someone we can trust."
Seeing how cautious Xia Chujian was, Shen Junyi said with a smile, "I didn't turn on the surveillance here, you can say anything."
Xia Chujian then said, "It's because of that homeroom teacher... Today at school, I complained that the homeroom teacher Wang Yixiao violated school rules by not coming to school to answer questions for two-thirds of the time. The school's mechanical intelligence determined that my complaint was valid and gave Wang Yixiao a punishment."
"Wang Yixiao probably hated me for complaining about her, so she quickly came to school and called me to her office..."
At this point, Xia Chujian paused.
But thinking of the photos in Wang Yixiao's Quantum Optical Brain, she took a deep breath and continued, "She not only scolded me and hit me, but also showed me some photos."
She looked at Xia Yuanfang and said, "They were photos of Yingying taken at that Private Club, which Fen Tai Ni had passed on to our homeroom teacher Wang Yixiao."
Xia Yuanfang didn't expect it to be related to Zhu Yingying's matter, and immediately frowned, asking, "How is she connected to Fen Tai Ni?"
"Auntie is so insightful." Xia Chujian seized the opportunity to flatter her, saying, "Because Fen Tai Ni and Zhu Yingying's matter was actually planned by Wang Yixiao. And her real target is me."
Xia Yuanfang stood up abruptly: "What?! Your homeroom teacher actually did such a thing?! Why?!"
Although it was wrong for a teacher to physically punish a student, Xia Yuanfang could understand it to some extent.
But she couldn't understand using such despicable means against a student.
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Because she was also instructed by someone, because she wanted to eliminate the root of the problem."
"...Eliminate the root of the problem?" Xia Yuanfang and Shen Junyi exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and shock in each other's eyes.
Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes, I speculate that the person behind Wang Yixiao is actually the one who attacked Auntie three years ago."
Xia Chujian looked at Xia Yuanfang and said, word by word, "Aunt, three years ago, it wasn't a Genetic Disease attack, was it? Were you harmed by someone?"
Xia Yuanfang's lips moved, and after a long while, she sat down dejectedly and said in a low voice, "Chujian, you guessed it?"
Xia Chujian looked at Shen Junyi, who was not surprised at all, and then at Xia Yuanfang, who looked exhausted, and murmured, "Aunt, you knew it all along?"
Then she said to Shen Junyi, "Doctor Shen, you knew too? Did Aunt tell you?"
Xia Yuanfang heard the dissatisfaction and hurt in Xia Chujian's voice, and quickly said, "Chujian, it's not that Aunt didn't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is of great importance, and we can't confront it now. Aunt kept it from you for your own good."
Xia Chujian was only dissatisfied for a short while before she let it go.
She knew that in her aunt's eyes, she was still a child who needed adult protection.
But it didn't matter, she would prove to her aunt that she had grown up and could protect her.
Shen Junyi didn't want the aunt and niece to have misunderstandings because of him, so he quickly said, "Chujian, your aunt was indeed harmed by someone three years ago. She doesn't have a Genetic Disease, but was poisoned."
Xia Chujian's brows gradually furrowed. "Poisoned? How could the symptoms of poisoning be the same as a Genetic Disease? Doctor Shen, you are also a particularly famous doctor, can't you even distinguish between poisoning and a Genetic Disease?"
Shen Junyi smiled wryly, "This, I really didn't distinguish it. If your aunt hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known until now that her condition was poisoning."
Xia Yuanfang now especially wanted to dispel Xia Chujian's knot, not wanting her to feel that she was closer to Shen Junyi instead.
In her heart, Xia Chujian was her closest person, the person she needed to protect most in this life.
She carefully explained to Xia Chujian, "This situation is not Doctor Shen's fault. The symptoms caused by that kind of poison are exactly the same as a Genetic Disease. Because it directly corrodes the gene chain, although the cause is different from a Genetic Disease, the symptoms are exactly the same."
Xia Chujian was surprised. "What kind of poison is it? So powerful? It can actually directly affect the gene chain? Although my academic performance is not good, I also know that there are no drugs that can directly penetrate to the level of the gene chain!"
Xia Yuanfang sighed softly, "Yes, in this Beichen Empire, there is indeed no such drug, but..."
She paused, and changed her words, "But, this kind of poison can indeed affect the gene chain, because it is very rare, so rare that in a million years, maybe no one has ever been poisoned by this kind of poison."
"What kind of poison is it? So rare?" Xia Chujian curiously looked at Xia Yuanfang, and then at Shen Junyi.
This time, she found that Shen Junyi was focused on looking at Xia Yuanfang, seemingly very curious as well.
It seemed that her aunt had not told Shen Junyi the most crucial thing.
Xia Chujian thought in her heart, and then heard Xia Yuanfang say lightly, "Well, it's just that rare. — Because it is the poison concocted from Wind-Dried Blood Kirin."
"Wind-Dried Blood Kirin?!" Xia Chujian widened her eyes and muttered to herself, "No wonder... no wonder..."
She wanted to say something, but the corner of her eye caught Xia Yuanfang shaking her head slightly at her.
Xia Chujian did not continue to speak.
Shen Junyi was stunned. "It's the poison of Wind-Dried Blood Kirin?! But, this kind of poison is incurable! — Then how did you recover...?"
He looked Xia Yuanfang up and down, as if this matter was beyond his knowledge.
Xia Yuanfang smiled and said, "This is thanks to Chujian. She accidentally obtained something that happened to cure my poison."
When Shen Junyi heard it was Xia Chujian, he didn't ask any further questions.
He knew how important Xia Chujian was to Xia Yuanfang.
Of course, he also knew how important Xia Yuanfang was to Xia Chujian.
These aunt and niece, if needed, could unhesitatingly give their lives for each other.
This is the first update. The second update will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
