She wanted to reach out and touch Yun'er's face, but her body was too weak, and she only let her arm move lightly after trying hard for a long time.

Yun'er hurriedly put her face into the palm of the other party's hand and rubbed it gently, this familiar scene made Philip's eyes red, and he turned his head.

Not long after, Monica finished the examination, came to Philip and said, "Master Philip, please take a step to speak." ”

Looking at the solemn expression on Monica's face, although he was mentally prepared, Philip's heart still chuckled and had a very bad premonition.

Yun'er naturally heard it, and since Monica began to diagnose, her eyes have been glued to this side and have never left.

Philip nodded, forcibly held Yun'er in his arms, and then said to Monica: "Just call me Philip, if there is anything, just say it directly, don't hide it." ”

Monica's voice was soft, but there was a convincing charm: "There is no problem with the doctor's diagnosis here, and this lady on the bed does have a lump in her pelvis, which is now the size of two fists. ”

Cancer!

This was Philip's first feeling, although he had never heard of a similar disease in this world, especially the Wards.

Yun'er took the first step and said with an anxious face: "Please save her, please." ”

Philip also asked: "I think her condition is very serious, and it is not like it will be reached in a short time. ”

Monica said unhurriedly, "I think you two may have misunderstood the medical officer here." He did check on the lady 9 months ago and didn't find any problems at the time, and I believe his statement.

This is because this disease is called the Eater Bloodline, and as the name suggests, it is a unique disease produced by the combination of the bloodlines of the Ward and the Prairie people.

Suffice it to say, anyone who has both bloodlines has this disease, but it is usually hidden and will break out at some point.

On average, it is about 1 in 10 percent, and the probability of developing the disease increases with age and physical weakness, and women are several times more likely to get the disease than men due to childbirth.

The location of each person with the disease is different, it may be any tissue and organ in the body, and women have a higher chance of developing the disease in this part because of the abundance of blood vessels in the abdominal cavity.

The normal tissues will become hematomas, absorb the nutrients in the body, and strengthen themselves until the patient runs out of oil and depletes the last drop of vitality.

And once the disease occurs, it can grow dozens of times in just one month, which is very ferocious, and can be regarded as a bloodline curse. ”

Philip's brow furrowed as Monica recounted, recalling the time he had been kidnapped.

He really didn't see a few older people in that camp, and the few were men.

I thought that the group of people was crazy and abandoned all the old people, but I didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this.

It's no wonder that those half-breed mongrels have no money to spare, and they seem to be completely unprepared for old age, and they hate their own bloodlines very much, so the most fundamental reason is here.

Put yourself in their shoes, if it were you, I'm afraid it would be even more crazy and unscrupulous.

"Is there any other way to cure her current condition?" asked Philip, the little body in his arms trembling even more, and looking at Monica with pitiful eyes.

Monica sighed and explained, "To tell you the truth, if you just remove this kind of hematoma, it is not difficult, but the difficult thing is that this is not the cure.

Once the first episode occurs, the curse is like some kind of restriction has been lifted.

Even if the original lesion is completely removed, it will quickly recur elsewhere, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and each time it becomes more and more dangerous.

Even if the physique is like our Ward, it is difficult to survive the second operation in this physical condition, after all, the open treatment is also a great loss of vitality.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you this time. ”

Hearing this, Yun'er couldn't stand anymore, and her small body slid straight down Philip's legs.

Philip had no choice but to give Monica an apologetic look, picked up Yun'er, and put her on the chair in front of the bed.

Let her take a good look at Alexandra at the end so as not to leave regrets.

He himself took Monica aside and asked for ways to stall for time.

On the hospital bed, Alessandra didn't know whether she saw her daughter recovering a little bit of joy or returning to the light, so she actually supported her body and sat up.

She held Yun'er in her arms, as she had done countless times when she was a child, and her withered hands caressed the girl's dark, shiny hair, over and over again, as if it would never be enough.

"Silly boy, your eyes are swollen from crying, and I'm not afraid that he will laugh at you. ”

Yun'er has completely lost her usual coldness, just hugging Alexandra tightly, crying like a kitten about to be abandoned, her whole body is stiff, and she can't breathe.

Alexandra continued: "There's nothing sad about it, whether it's the moon god or the earth mother goddess, it's time for me to return to her arms.

Sooner or later, every woman in the camp has to go through this experience, and it is my turn at such an old age, so that I have eaten so much for so many years, and it is very satisfying to see my daughter grow up healthy and healthy.

So, don't cry. ”

Yun'er raised her head and retorted, "You are talking nonsense, I grew up there, and I didn't see anyone else like this." ”

Alexandra laughed, as if she was very happy, "Then where do you think Aunt Judy went?"

She was picked up by her son. Yun'er quickly replied.

"And what about Uncle Mosanko?"

"He broke his leg while hunting, and he stayed in another camp to recuperate. ”

"Aunt Bubu and Aunt Nida, and Xiao Ao and Rava......" The woman said a dozen names in a row.

Yun'er was completely silent this time, and finally realized that every time she couldn't find a familiar figure, Alexandra would always lock her in her room for a day or two, and then find various reasons to trick her.

Only today, it was finally her turn.

After discovering the truth of the facts, Yun'er seemed to finally despair, hugging the woman and crying.

On the other side, Philip looked at the little face that was becoming more and more disappointed and frightened, and couldn't help but sigh.

Jane was not wrong at all, and under that seemingly cold and calm face was a sensitive and fragile heart, the complete opposite of his mother Catherine.

At such a time, the hidden fear and insecurity are all revealed, and it is heart-wrenching.

He pulled Monica aside and whispered, "How many days do you expect her to have?"

Even though she was surprised by birth, old age, sickness and death, Monica was still a little sad about this miserable scene, she thought about it in her heart, and replied: "It will not be more than ten days at most, and some things should be prepared in advance." ”

Philip asked reluctantly, "There is no way to delay, even if it costs a few days." ”

Monica glanced over there and said, "You can use more high-energy foods, but this will also stimulate those hematomas to develop faster, and it won't be delayed for a few days, it's like a vicious circle." ”

"Let's do this for the time being, if we can delay it for a day, we will think of other ways. Philip squeezed the hair on his forehead a few times, venting his irritation.

Suddenly, he remembered something, found Monica again and asked, "Since this disease is caused by blood, I remember that the temple has two herbs that can dissolve the characteristics in the bloodline, I don't know if it is useful." ”

Monica naturally knew what he was talking about, the kidnapping case from a few years ago was still vivid, and the two herbs were still selected by her hands.

"Philip, these two herbs are the specialties of our Gaokan City Temple, they are extremely precious, and the whereabouts of almost every finished plant must be recorded and reported to the General Shrine on a regular basis.

Although the healer is benevolent, if it is used on a mixed-race woman, I am afraid that Bishop Melissa will not agree.

At the beginning, your grandfather also spent a huge price, and the situation was unique, so it was barely feasible.

And this ritual only seals up the scarce part of the genes in the bloodline, this woman has been mixed for several generations, and I am afraid it will not have much effect on her. ”

"It's okay, Bishop Melissa will tell me personally.

No matter how effective it is, even if it is delayed for a month or two.

It's just not about Yun'er's relationship, after all, this woman also saved me, and she did her best to ask for peace of mind. ”

"In that case, then I'll rest here tonight, and when your herbs arrive, I'll perform the spell immediately. ”

"Then I'll leave it all to you, Priest Monica, and you're welcome wherever I can be useful in the future. ”

Fei'er hurriedly thanked, in terms of Monica's rank, this favor is really indebted, even if there is Melissa's please.

Then, Philip pointed to the two behind him and strode out.

The two were the resident medic and guard, and they followed Philip out of the room with trepidation, their heads bowed, waiting for each other's questioning and rage.

To be honest, although they knew that Philip valued this woman very much, tonight's formation still scared them.

Neither the worldly power of the Snape family nor Philip's current relationship with the Temple of Gokan City was something they could offend, even if he was just a teenager.

Philip stared at them coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you report it so late?"

At this moment, his heart was like an angry lion, irritable and wanted to tear everything around him, and the momentum that belonged to the awakened unconsciously pressed on the two of them, making them covered in cold sweat and almost unable to stand.

In a month's time, if I get the news a little earlier, I am afraid that things will take a turn for the better, at least not so passively.

It was the medical officer who calmed down a little and defended: "At first, I thought it was just an ordinary headache and cold, and I didn't pay too much attention to it, but this woman has always been calm and in good spirits.

Ten days ago, I noticed that her weight was losing dramatically, and I realized that it was not that simple, so I reported it to Sherlock, the chief medical officer here. ”
