Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"Well, it looks like, for now, this is the only situation we can have."

"So, if you really do have this idea in mind, I'd advise you to give it up, don't take risks. You're young. You don't want to leave your life there, do you?"

Lin Yi didn't say anything. He just smiled awkwardly.

"All right, Director Lin, I have some things to take care of, I need to get to them quickly. When I can find the time, I'll come and visit you properly."

"Fine, you go ahead."

After saying this, he just nodded his head, and then quickly stood up and left the place.

In fact, the sense of fear in his heart had never completely subsided.

The mysterious old man he met today indeed made Lin Yi see things in a new light.

Up to now, he could still picture the old yellowed book the old man had shown him.

It's just that, unfortunately, with his limited knowledge, he really had no way to solve everything.

Otherwise, he probably would have earned Director Lin's respect right then and there.

After leaving the place, just as he was entering the community gate, Lin Yi happened to see a familiar electric bike coming his way.

The person was Liu Yao.

Liu Yao pulled up to Lin Yi, hit the brakes, and then hurriedly jumped off the electric bike.

"Eh, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing much."

"Is there something wrong with my mom?"

Liu Yao seemed to become somewhat frantic.

In her mind, Lin Yi shouldn't be so familiar with the people here, and he only knew about her family situation.

If Lin Yi was here now, could it mean that something had happened to her mother?

"You don't need to be so nervous. I came here for nothing else but to meet an old man just now."

"An old man? What old man?"

"Well, I'd have to ask you, is there a Director Lin in your hospital, who lives in this community even now?"

"You, you mean, you mean Old Lin?"

"Oh, that must be it, probably. He seemed to imply that he was one of the directors of your People's Hospital, wasn't he?"

"He's not just any director. He was the founding director of the People's Hospital; he built it with his own hands."

"Oh, I see. No wonder, I guess, he must be quite powerful then."

"And another thing, he is a very famous traditional Chinese medicine expert, and even now, his reputation is internationally acclaimed. You haven't heard of him, have you?"

"What? He's that famous? What's his full name?"

"His name is Lin Genghua." Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"Lin Genghua?"

Lin Yi just muttered the name to himself, but, after all, since his previous studies were not in this field, he was still relatively unfamiliar with all of this.

"How do you know him? And how did you suddenly end up at his house?"

"Heh, it was just a coincidence, a chance encounter. So, I stopped by his house for a short visit. Alright, I have some things to attend to, I need to rush back now, can't talk anymore."

"Then when will you come to treat my mom for the second time?"

"It should be tomorrow, or the day after," Lin Yi said. "Don't worry, I'll contact you in advance."

"And what about me?" Weiwei asked tentatively.

"For the next two days, you should start to hand over your duties at the hospital. Also, if you're going to resign, it's time to submit a resignation report, that is, if you're certain about this decision."

"Okay, I understand," Weiwei replied.

After speaking, Liu Yao simply nodded her head.

In fact, after returning to the hospital, she shared the news with a close friend, who also felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

They thought this might just be a coincidence and advised Liu Yao not to miss out on her promising future because of it.

After all, not just anyone can enter the People's Hospital so easily.

Now, having finally gotten this opportunity and having worked her way up to this point, if she persevered, she might very well become a head nurse.

And then, her salary would be even higher.

Watching Lin Yi leave, Liu Yao wandered home as if in a trance.

"Mom, Mom," she called out softly upon arriving.

As she approached, she saw her mother lying weakly in bed, with her eyes closed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" she asked, worried.

In truth, she had been very anxious these past two years, always fearful that her mother would suddenly faint one day.

She knew that osteosarcoma was extremely dangerous and that if her mother fell into a coma, waking up again could be very difficult.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Mother Liu slowly opened her eyes and looked up.

Finding her mother awake relieved Liu Yao immensely.

"You're okay?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just reading a book and suddenly felt tired. Really, I've gotten old. I used to love reading, but now I get sleepy as soon as I pick up a book," Mother Liu said with a faint smile.

"What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Anything's fine. Weren't there some leftovers from last night? Let's just reheat those. Oh, and you should eat something more nutritious. Look at you, you've gotten so thin recently."

"I'm fine, besides, I'm actually trying to lose weight."

"Enough with the diet excuse all the time. And stop saving all the good food for me. Your mother understands everything," Mother Liu chided gently.

"Mom."

Upon hearing all this, Liu Yao felt an immense pain inside.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but for years, she'd been struggling to hold everything together.

Honestly, she never asked for much. All she prayed for was that her mother could stay with her a few more years.

As a nurse, she was well aware of the severity of the illness and knew they probably didn't have much time left.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her head.

This time, it felt like a gamble.

If she really chose to believe in Lin Genghua's words, then there might be hope for her mother's disease.
