Chapter 15: Not Traditional Chinese Medicine, But Immortal Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Madam is waiting for you upstairs.”

Back home, Zhang Youwei wasn’t surprised to see the nanny with a guilty look on her face.

Only Xu Pingqiu, the bookstore owner, and the nanny knew that he had cancer.

Xu Pingqiu would not tell his wife about it. Not to mention the bookstore owner.

It could only be the nanny, of course.

If there was no treatment, Zhang Youwei might blame the nanny. After all, Zhang Youwei would not know how to face his sad wife and daughter.

However, now that he had a way to cure the illness, the situation would naturally be much better, although it might take a lot of time to tell his wife that he could cultivate immortality to cure the illness.

Zhang Youwei couldn’t help but touch the youth retaining pill in his pocket. As long as his wife ate this youth retaining pill and learned the magic of immortality, everything would be solved!

The youth retaining pill gave Zhang Youwei great confidence. He immediately went upstairs.

His daughter, Zhang Yating, was watching cartoons on the television in the living room. His wife, Li Ru, had her back to her daughter and was crying silently.

For Li Ru, this matter was simply too difficult to accept.

She had been married to her husband, Zhang Youwei, for about ten years. The couple had always been very loving and had almost never quarreled.

Now, Zhang Youwei was only in his forties. He was in the prime of his life, but he actually had cancer. How could Li Ru bear this?

Hearing the sound of Zhang Youwei’s footsteps, Li Ru raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Zhang Youwei with some resentment.

When Zhang Youwei saw his wife, his heart was about to break.

He quickly stepped forward and half-squatted beside the sofa. He held Li Ru’s hand and said softly, “Let’s go back to the room and talk. Don’t let the child hear us.”

From the way Zhang Yating was watching cartoons, it seemed that Li Ru had not let the child know about this matter.

Li Ru nodded silently, got up and went into the bedroom.

Seeing Li Ru wiping her tears, Zhang Youwei sighed, sorted out his words in his mind, and followed her in.

The door was closed, and only the sound of cartoons could be heard from the living room.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Li Ru sat on the bed, unable to stop her tears.

From the moment she received the news to the day she returned home, and the entire day she had been waiting for Zhang Youwei to return home, Li Ru had been suppressing her emotions and forcing a smile in front of the child.

She did not want Zhang Yating to notice anything strange.

Now that she was not in front of her child, Li Ru finally did not have to suppress the emotions in her heart.

“Youwei, what did the doctor say?”

When Zhang Youwei heard his wife, Li Ru’s question, he swallowed the words that had been brewing in his heart.

He had initially planned to use the matter of the youth retaining pill to make his wife believe in immortal cultivation. Who knew that she would actually go straight to the point?

Thinking of this, Zhang Youwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell his wife what the doctor had said during the first consultation, “The doctor said that it’s liver cancer, but it can be treated.”

Zhang Youwei did not mention how long he had left. After all, he could already be treated now.

However, Li Ru’s eyes were staring straight at Zhang Youwei as she asked word by word, “Did the doctor say how long you can live?”

Zhang Youwei immediately waved his hand and shook his head, “No, no, no. Nothing about that. My illness can be treated. Now that the medical level is so advanced, cancer is simply…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Youwei was exposed by Li Ru, “At this point, are you still trying to hide it from me?”

Zhang Youwei’s eyes widened. Obviously, Li Ru must have gone to the hospital to check.

Li Ru being Zhang Youwei’s wife, it was not difficult for her to find out about his diagnosis.

Seeing Zhang Youwei’s silence, Li Ru’s tears immediately burst as she sobbed, “I’ve told you before, you shouldn’t drink so much. Look at you now, you even have liver cancer! Without you, how will Yating and I live as orphans and widowers? Do you know? Yating will be without a father!”

Hearing Li Ru’s words, Zhang Youwei’s heart suddenly tightened.

Indeed, if he hadn’t gone to the Avenue Bookstore and learned the circulation of spiritual energy, Zhang Yating would indeed be a child without a father soon.

Zhang Youwei couldn’t even retort. He was a man. It wasn’t that simple to start a business. Especially for a man like him who started from nothing. Most of the time, drinking parties couldn’t be avoided.

Li Ru had followed Zhang Youwei all the way to the top. She was his wife who had spent the most penniless days together. Of course, she understood that Zhang Youwei couldn’t get out of drinking parties.

Now that Zhang Youwei had liver cancer, everything else was pointless. The intense sadness made her unable to help but complain.

She blamed her husband, but at the same time, she blamed herself for not taking good care of Zhang Youwei.

In the silence between them, Zhang Youwei lit a cigarette in disappointment.

Seeing this, Li Ru’s eyes were filled with tears again. She complained, “It’s not enough that you have liver cancer now. You still want to have lung cancer, right? Alright, go ahead and smoke yourself to death. I’ll just die together with Yating.”

These words made Zhang Youwei extremely depressed. Just smoking a cigarette would cause lung cancer?

Frustrated, he could only put out the cigarette immediately. He sat beside his wife, Li Ru, and gently hugged her.

With this hug, Li Ru’s fragile heart could no longer hold it in. She hugged Zhang Youwei and cried bitterly, “Youwei, how can you not cherish your body? How are Yating and I going to live in the future?”

Zhang Youwei gently patted Li Ru’s back and said softly, “Don’t worry. My illness can still be treated. I won’t abandon you and Yating.”

After crying for a while, Li Ru’s eyes turned red. She looked straight at Zhang Youwei and said with a worried expression, “You don’t have to comfort me anymore. Dr. Zhou told me that the cancer cells in your body have already spread. There’s no way to save you. At most, you only have two months to live.”

Dr. Zhou obviously didn’t say it too harshly.

Looking at his wife Li Ru’s sad expression, Zhang Youwei finally couldn’t help but say, “Darling, listen to me. You may not believe what I’m about to say, but what I’m saying is the truth.”

Hearing this, Li Ru was also a little puzzled, but looking at Zhang Youwei’s serious expression, she still pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing that his wife Li Ru had calmed down a little, Zhang Youwei took a deep breath and said, “I’m currently receiving a special treatment method. The doctor who treated me told me with certainty that my liver cancer could be treated. So, you don’t have to be sad anymore. I will never abandon you.”

Hearing this, Li Ru was a little puzzled, “Your illness can be treated? Did you go to the capital? Or to the United States?”

From what Li Ru knew, the chief physician of the best hospital in Luo City was certain that there was no cure.

If there was still a cure, there seemed to be no other possibility other than the capital or the United States.

However, Zhang Youwei shook his head and said, “No, neither. It’s in Luo City.”

Li Ru was even more puzzled, “Luo City? Which hospital is he from?”

Zhang Youwei did not know what to say. If he told his wife that the person treating him was a bookstore owner, her wife would definitely not believe him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Youwei felt a little helpless. He braced himself and said, “Actually, the person treating me is not a doctor from the hospital. He did not treat me with Western medicine either. Instead, he treated me with an ancient Eastern method.”

Finally, Li Ru’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Zhang Youwei’s arm and said, “Is it a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with brilliant medical skills? That’s great, that’s really great.”

Just as Li Ru was about to hug Zhang Youwei and cry with joy, Zhang Youwei coughed awkwardly and said, “Uh… I’m not talking about Chinese medicine. It’s…”

“Immortal cultivation.”

Hearing this, Li Ru immediately stopped crying and stared blankly at Zhang Youwei.

The room immediately fell into an uncomfortable awkward silence.

Immortal cultivation?
