Chapter 80: Genetic Diseases
Hearing Vera's words, Cheng Bin was stunned with his little friends at that time.
It's not that he hasn't negotiated with anyone, at least in the process of finding things in the wilderness and exchanging them for money, bargaining is inevitable.
It's the first time that Cheng Bin has encountered the matter of pressing himself up when bargaining, if it weren't for Vera being a beauty, he would have suspected the other party of a hostile takeover.
Seeing Cheng Bin's surprised look, Vera smiled bitterly, looked at Cheng Bin and said, "I heard Rebecca say something about you, you haven't done anything to the young lady of the Zhugashvili family, and of course you won't spy on the property of the Castro family." But ......"
She spread her hands meaninglessly, a self-deprecating smile on her face, "You know, I don't have anything else to add to." ”
Cheng Bin thought for a while, he noticed that Vera had hesitated when she added herself to the chips, if you consider that she had drunk so much wine before, it was probably for the courage to speak up at this moment, so that Cheng Bin's image of her did not become too bad.
He put the knife and fork in his hand and said to the other party in as sincere a tone as possible, "I know Emily has a bar in Maple Leaf Town, and I think you can try some business as well." ”
Vera lowered her head and was silent for a while before she said slowly, "That's useless. "I need money, a lot of money," she said. ”
Cheng Bin's heart sank, to be honest, after discovering that Mrs. Castro's life was very frugal, Cheng Bin once had some good feelings for her, but now it seems that he is obviously wrong.
Vera should also be aware of what her words would make Cheng Bin think, she raised her head, looked at Cheng Bin and said, "Maria has a congenital genetic lesion, and she must insist on taking medicine to suppress the tendency of gene lysis. ”
She said with a wry smile: "That's why we have been staying in the Grand Canyon, Gu Baptist's salary is not enough to pay for medical expenses, he can only use his status to do unseemly things for some people." ”
"So when I heard about his death, I thought it was Emily who finally couldn't take it anymore," she said. ”
Cheng Bin then understood, thinking that it was a conscience to fill in the pit after so many chapters. The question now is how to fill this big hole in front of me?
He frowned and said, "In this case, even if you can inherit Castro's inheritance smoothly, it won't last long." ”
"Yes." Vera nodded and said, "So I need to find a solution." She stared at Cheng Bin boldly, "Even if it's just a temporary solution." ”
Cheng Bin looked at her for a while, and took the initiative to look away, to be honest, if Cheng Bin had a spiritual cleanliness habit, he would not have almost misfired with Emily, but Vera is different after all, she can become a widow entirely because of Cheng Bin, and the guilt makes it impossible for him to accept Vera, after all, she has no husband now.
He lowered his gaze and looked at the food on his plate, and suddenly felt that if he could go back to when he first started eating, he would never dislike the chef's craft again.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and Rebecca walked over with a rifle in her arms. Her face was covered with the traces of excitement, and she didn't notice anything unusual in the restaurant.
Rebecca carefully put the SSG on the side of the table, then sat down in her seat, and when she picked up the knife and fork, she noticed that the other two people did not eat, but looked at her together, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "What's wrong?" ”
She tentatively poked the beef on the plate with her fork, "Isn't it unpalatable?" ”
"Nope." Cheng Bin was immediately relieved when Rebecca ran in, to be honest, he had never felt that he needed Rebecca so much as this time.
"We're talking about Vera and her children's future lives," he said. ”
"Huh?" Rebecca looked at them inexplicably. She said suspiciously, "I thought Madame would inherit an inheritance. ”
"There was actually a bit of a surprise." Cheng Bin looked at Vera, who hesitated for a moment and told Maria about her condition again.
Rebecca's mouth opened wide in surprise, "Heavenly Father is above." She casually tapped her hand on her chest and said, "Poor child." ”
Unlike Cheng Bin, who knows little about genetic diseases, Rebecca knows quite well what the so-called genetic diseases are, and she has even witnessed more than one person with the disease.
Genetic disease is a systemic genetic lesion, which is said to have first appeared in the last few years of prehistoric times, and it is difficult to find specific cases, after all, at that time, the whole world was in the midst of war, and the genetic lesion that people talk about now was only one of many ways to die at that time, and it was relatively slow.
From the information currently available to the United Kingdom, genetic disorders are highly hereditary diseases that are passed on with genes, but for everyone, this genetic defect does not necessarily develop.
According to a survey conducted by the Academy of Sciences of the United Kingdom, more than 70 per cent of the population in the United Kingdom carries the diseased gene, with an incidence rate of more than 1 per cent and a cure rate infinitely close to zero, which can be considered incurable.
By far the longest-lived person who has been diagnosed with Gene Lysis is Azeroth of the Constantine family, the eldest brother who has managed to survive his fortieth birthday. He also has another well-known identity for the people of the wasteland, that is, the mayor of Maple Leaf Town and Emily's husband.
In fact, Azeroth had already shown signs of illness when he was a teenager, and he had been ill for more than twenty years, but because of the financial and medical level of the Constantine family, he had been delayed to be called Her Majesty among the patients with genetic diseases.
This is also the reason why Azeroth, as the eldest son of the Constantine family, failed to inherit the Constantine family - even the Constantine family could not let a terminally ill person be the head of the house.
Because genetic diseases cannot be cured in advance, they can basically only be done by screening marriage partners, and one of Rebecca's siblings has been sick, and her father's way to solve the pain of these children is very simple, they are all killed directly.
In fact, from a civilian point of view, this is the only thing that the patient's family can do.
So after hearing that Maria had been ill for several years, Rebecca was in awe of Vera and Guba's parents.
"You guys are so great." She exclaimed heartily.
However, her exclamation did not get a response from the other two people, obviously both Vera and Cheng Bin have a clearer understanding of this matter.
For patients, this kind of terminal illness means endless pain and suffering, and for family members, it means endless investment like a black hole. In addition to this, they can also feel despair, that kind of despair from the heart.
Cheng Bin's often saying that "there is no tomorrow in the wasteland" is actually just a philosophical statement, otherwise, it is impossible to understand the efforts made by the wasteland people in order to survive, at least the potatoes planted by Uncle Potato will not mature in a day.
But for people with genetic disorders and their families, the phrase has a concrete meaning.
They really don't see tomorrow.
