Chapter 408: The Forbidden Past
"Eight roads to the clouds, one ring and one heavy sky." Robert closed his eyes slightly and muttered the poem in his mouth.
The once beautiful fragments were shattered in the countless moans and sighs that echoed in the ears.
Robert couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, he saw Kramer, who was drinking beer, squinting at him strangely, he couldn't help but blush, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Your wife...... Do you support this work? ”
"You mean mercenaries?" Kramer crumpled the beer can he drank in his hand. "She can't help it." He threw the aluminum can in his hand into the garbage basket that was about to overflow.
"How?" Robert asked.
"Because of Jenny's illness, we had to go to the Minotaur, which has the best medical equipment in the All-Bank Alliance, and although it's completely free, they only see relatives of employees of the family business." Kramer confessed that this was the first time he had mentioned his daughter's condition.
"What the hell is the disease?" Robert asked with concern, he only knew that the daughter of the Kramer family was not in good health.
"Myeloid leukemia." Kramer let out a long sigh, and as a scholar with a background in genetic engineering, Robert couldn't help but be moved, he knew that this was a terrible chronic terminal disease.
"We have traveled all over the Yinmeng, spent all our savings, but it is still a drop in the bucket, at first it was drug maintenance, and then we had to continue to carry out stem cell transplants, how could I pay the medical expenses of astronomical numbers with only the salary of my captain with three fern vine leaves, and the medical insurance of the family members of the Yinmeng Navy? In this case, what other choice can I have than to go to "True Guard" as a mercenary? Kramer smiled wryly.
"I see." Robert began to groan, now that he finally knew the real reason why Kramer had given up his military career in favor of becoming a notorious mercenary at the Minotaur. He just wants his daughter to continue to live, and plans to use everything he has to win the right to live for Jenny.
The room fell silent, neither of them spoke, and after a long time Kramer finally sighed, but Robert broke the silence before he could open his mouth.
"I know a guy......" Robert said suddenly. How so...... He's a genius...... A mad genius......" He frowned, as if he didn't know whether to continue, and Kramer just looked at him inexplicably.
"Maybe your daughter's illness...... He has a way to cure ......," Robert stammered a little.
"How is that possible?" Kramer smiled. "My daughter's disease is a congenital loss of chromosome function, and only by constantly replenishing hematopoietic cells can we maintain a stable physique, which is not like those cancer cells that can be removed......
"I know, Kramer......" Robert looked at the other man, as if he had made some decision in his mind. I've studied this, so I can fully understand what you mean, chronic myeloid diseases are indeed called incurable by modern medicine, but believe me, I'm talking about this guy...... "Somehow, he only said half of it," he .......
"How about him?" Kramer still doesn't believe it, but after all, he seems to have seen a glimmer of light in the perennial darkness. "Are you saying he can really cure Jenny? No longer need regular treatment, will she be devastated and dying? The mercenary's breath began to rapid.
"Yes...... The use of targeted stem cell tissue transplantation may be able to solve the problem of functional loss once and for all, but ......" Robert thought of something, and his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
"It's just...... Just what? Kramer said anxiously. Is it a fee? I can find a way to raise ...... this."
"It's not about the money." Robert said hurriedly. "I'm not talking about this person...... He was permanently banned from practicing medicine and teaching by the medical community of Yinmeng for illegal experiments, and he is still wanted by the government today, which can be said to be infamous. And this guy has a very eccentric personality, and if he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him to do it, so I can't guarantee ......"
"How did you and him meet? University alumnus, or former colleagues? I mean, what's the relationship? Kramer couldn't help but ask.
He ...... He's my father......" Robert had to tell the truth. "But physically, he never raised me for even a day......" he added.
"Your father?" Kramer paused for a moment, then rejoiced. "Kent, you didn't lie to me? Are you really sure he can cure Jenny? He stared at Robert, his tone questioning, but expectant.
"If he is willing to accept the treatment of your daughter, I think he should be seventy or eighty percent sure." Robb nodded. "I don't want to exaggerate, but I have to admit it...... He's the most incredible genius I've ever seen when it comes to directive custom genes. ”
"You mean you're seventy or eighty percent sure!" Kramer's face suddenly became eager.
"Yes, he has also done many more complex and crazy experiments with animals and plants than this level of customization...... It's probably not a challenge for him......" Robert assured him.
"Great." Kramer stepped forward and grabbed Robert's hands tightly, he immediately sensed his gaffe, and when he let go of Robert, his eyes were still full of excitement.
"If Jenny's illness ...... If she doesn't need those instruments anymore, our whole family can leave that damn planet......" He shook his head and smiled wryly, but then retracted his smile, as if he had thought of something.
"Kent, if it's really as you said, since Ling Zun has such a method, why don't you apply this method to clinical practice?" He asked.
"I said he was disqualified from practicing medicine." Robert explained.
"But I'm referring to his research results, if they can save lives, why have I never heard of them after I have traveled to so many Yinmeng medical institutions?" Kramer was still puzzled.
"You misunderstood, he has no interest in saving lives, and no one can learn his crazy ideas, I spent some time with him after graduating from the school, and that experience was disgusting, but it gave birth to my psychology of abandoning medicine and politics." Robert had an uncomfortable look on his face.
"That makes him ...... For what purpose did he carry out these illegal experiments? Kramer asked curiously.
"I'm not sure...... Robert looked a little confused at the moment. But he did say that he wanted to measure the limits of human genes, and he said that any intelligent race would eventually do it, even if it was the former "Ascender". ”
"Sometimes I really think he's crazy......" Robert seemed to explain something, as if to say to himself. But in terms of what he did, he was a genius. ”
"So I don't think you should expect too much just yet." He suddenly said to Kramer, who was full of joy. "After all, your daughter's illness is ...... to him"
"Why, would he not want to accept it because it was tricky?" Kramer said a little nervously, he was suffering from gains and losses at the moment, as if he was afraid that the savior falling from the sky would suddenly disappear.
"No, no, it's the opposite." Robert shook his head repeatedly. "I'm afraid he'll dismiss him because it's not challenging......"
