Chapter 5: A Woman's Choice
Phoenix gall is very rare even in the Crescent Moon Continent, and it mostly grows in inaccessible valleys. This flower is said to be formed by the blood of the sacred bird phoenix crying on the rock, so it is also called the flower in the stone.
It was the finest medicinal material for refining the marrow cleansing pill, and the reason why Ye Chen had been able to meet it many times in the Crescent Moon Continent before was thanks to his magical perception ability. Unexpectedly, he could perceive the familiar taste of this flower near his home, and Ye Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
If the attribute effect of this thing is the same as that of the Crescent Moon Continent, then the recovery of his lame leg is just around the corner, thinking of this, Ye Chen's pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
Ye Chen happened to be at the back of the small courtyard at this time, and when he went around to the front, he was suddenly stunned.
I saw two burly men in black suits, guarding both sides of the main entrance of the small courtyard, and several people in the same uniform were walking back and forth at the door slowly, with a pair of eyes shooting around with extreme vigilance.
Ye Chen was a little helpless, obviously, the owner of this family was either rich or noble, and it was a little impossible for him to enter openly as a stranger.
Just as he turned to leave, suddenly, there was a screeching sound of tires grinding on the ground, and then, three cars in the distance sped by.
At the front of the road is a black Mercedes 600 defense car that costs more than eight million, with a luxury elongated Bentley Mulsanne in the center and a black Hummer at the back.
Although the predecessor was cowardly and timid, he was very fascinated by the famous car series and was often immersed in his fantasy world, so Ye Chen, who fused his memory, naturally recognized these famous cars.
Ye Chen was even slightly surprised in his heart, the origin of this family is really not small!
At this time, the three cars stopped at the gate of the small courtyard almost at the same time. Four tall black-clothed bodyguards quickly walked down from the front and rear cars, two of them were guarding the Bentley Mulsanne Gate, and the other two were scanning ahead, while the bodyguards guarding the small courtyard gate opened the courtyard door.
The Bentley Mulsanne's door quickly opened, and a woman stepped out of the car.
This is a woman who is unreasonable, or a girl, because she looks like she is only twenty-two or three years old.
The woman's facial features seem to be finely crafted, delicate with beauty and holiness, such as jade skin and white evening dresses reflect each other, looking particularly noble.
It's just that her beautiful eyes are cold, and the coldness is full of anxiety, and as soon as she got out of the car, she walked into the small courtyard with hurried steps.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen groaned slightly, and then, pretending to be a passerby, he slowly walked forward. In fact, since he appeared, the eyes of the four bodyguards at the door have never left him, and they have been staring coldly.
At this moment, on a rattan chair in the courtyard, an old man with his eyes closed, his face showing a dead gray color, wearing a respirator, obviously dying, and three or four doctors in white coats around him were busy nervously.
"Dr. Hu, how is my grandfather?"
As soon as the woman entered the courtyard, she asked in a trembling voice, her eyes fixed on the figure on the rattan chair in the wooden courtyard, her face anxious and sad.
"Miss Yan, I'm very sorry, I've done my best."
It was a middle-aged man in his forties who spoke, he stopped moving his hands, shook his head slightly, and said: "Now there are two choices, one is that I can temporarily wake up the old man and let him arrange the funeral by himself, but it will only be half ......an hour at most."
Hearing this, the woman's delicate body trembled suddenly, her eyes turned red, and her tears flickered, but she quickly endured it and asked, "Then what is the other choice?" ”
"The other option is the same as now, I can't wake up, but ...... After three days at most, Miss Yan should inform her family as soon as possible to arrange the funeral! ”
The woman's beautiful eyes could no longer hold back, and Yingying's hot tears were dripping silently.
Doctor Hu shook his head apologetically, pondered, and said, "Miss Yan should make a choice as soon as possible, the old man's condition is very critical this time, even if he hires another famous doctor at this moment, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to even move......
The rest of the words were not finished, but the woman knew very well in her heart that things could not be delayed any longer.
"Let Grandpa wake up for a while." When she said this, the woman was already in tears, but she was suppressing her emotions.
Grandpa is her dearest relative, and in order to save her grandfather, she has visited many doctors over the years.
Just this morning, Dr. Hu, a professor at the medical school she had hired at great expense, told her that her grandfather's cancer had spread to two-thirds of the entire brain, and he was afraid that he would only live for a few days at most.
After hearing the news, she almost collapsed directly, in order to let her grandfather happily walk the last part of her life, she did not tell her grandfather the news, but went to the company headquarters to explain everything, and planned to accompany her grandfather in the last days, so that grandpa would not leave lonely.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that this day came so quickly, and in less than a day, when the company's affairs were not fully explained, she received an emergency call from the bodyguard.
"I ...... Let grandpa wake up temporarily! ”
When she made this difficult choice, her heart was like a knife.
Dr. Hu nodded lightly, walked to the medicine box, he had already prepared in advance, took out a needle from it, which was already filled with medicinal liquid, and walked to the old man's side, ready to inject.
He said that he would be awake for a maximum of half an hour, which of course also means that there is a possibility that he will soon lose his breath completely after waking up.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became oppressive.
The woman held back her grief, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and silently turned around to wipe away her tears, obviously unwilling to let the old man see her sad side.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
Brush!
The people in the courtyard all followed the sound.
I saw that on the wall of the courtyard, a head was exposed, two hands were stubbornly holding the courtyard wall, the face was red, although it was already dark, but the courtyard was brightly lit, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a young man who was not very old.
The woman's face instantly became as cold as ice, and she was about to open her mouth to question, but she saw the young man on the wall screaming 'oops' and fell down, and at least four bodyguards outside were dragging his left and right legs and throwing him down hard.
At the same time, a bodyguard quickly ran in and whispered, "Miss, I'm sorry......"
The woman frowned slightly, waved her hand, motioned for the bodyguard to go out, turned around slowly, and said, "Doctor Hu, start." ”
"Good!"
Dr. Hu nodded, raised the needle and was about to insert it.
"Let go of me, hey, the woman inside, I can cure the old man's illness......"
The sound of the broken gong sounded again, but unlike before, this time, the woman suddenly changed color, and Dr. Hu stopped his movements in amazement.
"Quick, bring him in!" The woman was like a drowning person grasping at the last straw at this time, and she didn't want to let go of even the slightest possibility of saving her grandfather.
Ye Chen glared at the two big men in suits who were still pinching his shoulders a few times with an angry face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with some small resentment.
This fragile body is really a fucking drag!
If it was before, he could slap them all away, and a look could make them retreat. Of course, if it was before, there was no need for him to rush to treat others.
Of course, Ye Chen's purpose this time was naturally for the phoenix gall!
