Chapter 616: Early Warning: Her Cover Was About to Get Blown

Fang Chen would have probably continued hiding his condition from his family if he had not met Huo Yao.

Since he was recovering well after taking her prescription, he said candidly, “About half a month or so, but I am already recovering.”

Mrs. Fang did not hear her son finish his sentence. All she heard was that he had been suffering from the condition for over half a month.

Half a month... Her husband passed away within half a month after contracting this condition.

Regardless of what they tried, it was completely futile.

Mrs. Fang was shattered thinking about this. She had not imagined that her son would suffer the same condition.

Mrs. Fang suddenly grabbed Fang Chen’s arm and said hopefully, “Come on. We are going to the hospital now. Considering how advanced medicine is, I am sure you can be cured...”

Judging from the way she looked, Fang Chen quickly realized that she knew about the condition. He stood up and patted her shoulder.

He spent approximately 30 minutes before he finally managed to calm Mrs. Fang down.

She looked at Fang Chen in a daze. “Are you really going to be okay?”

Fang Chen nodded and replied. “Why don’t you call Shuwen and ask? He knows my condition the best.”

Mrs. Fang wiped the tears from her face but did not call Lin Shuwen to ask.

Instead, she held Fang Chen’s hand for a long time and remembered something before she hurriedly said, “That friend of mine whom we have dinner with tonight... One of her sons has come back from abroad and he is a highly revered doctor.”

Fang Chen said no to getting examined by this doctor immediately.

Regardless of how famous he was, he was not a Chinese physician, so the treatment would be useless.

Mrs. Fang refused to take no for an answer. She needed him to do it so that she could have peace of mind. She disregarded Fang Chen’s refusal and took out her phone to call Song Ning.

Fang Chen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Since he was incapable of convincing his mother otherwise, he let her do as she pleased.

Song Ning was caught by surprise when Mrs. Fang called. Since Mrs. Fang said her son was seriously ill, she did not turn her down right away and agreed to check with Huo Yulin.

After hanging up the phone, Song Ning looked at Huo Yulin sitting on the couch and contemplated before she said, “Remember that friend of mine who came over for dinner? Her son has a strange illness. She asked if you could examine him.”

Huo Yulin’s hands froze as he held his phone. He had already overheard her conversation. “I specialise in neurology, so I might not be able to help.”

Song Ning told her friend just that earlier, but Mrs. Fang insisted that Huo Yulin look into her son’s condition. She felt a headache coming on.

Huo Yulin noticed that his mother was in a spot, so he contemplated for a couple of seconds before he said, “Why don’t you get her to send the medical report for me to see?”

Song Ning felt that was a good idea. “Okay. I will ask her to send me the medical report.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin stood up. “I’m going back to my room.”

Huo Yao was still in her bedroom doing her homework. After finishing the third test paper, she leaned into the chair’s backrest and rubbed her aching shoulders.

A thought crossed her mind, so she took out a piece of blank paper and a pen to swiftly make a list of Chinese herbs. All of them were considered to be rather rare.

Huo Yao took pictures of her list before swiping down the address book on her phone. She saw the note that she had added to Old Mr. Pei’s number.

He could give her a 30% discount on Chinese herbs.

Huo Yao sighed before swiping down the list of contacts and opening Min Yu’s chat.

She had almost forgotten about this cash cow.
