Chapter 40: Bad News and the Only Hope
"The night gave me black eyes, but I used him to find the light......"
Just when Lu Chen was still staring at the system and thinking, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Who called me so early?"
Lu Chen reached out with some confusion and picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside.
"Uh, Mom, why did she call me early in the morning?"
Looking at the screen of his mobile phone, Lu Chen paused for a while, but quickly connected the phone.
"Hey, what's the matter with my mom looking for me early in the morning?"
Lu Chen answered the phone and said with a smile on his face.
"Chenzi, come back quickly, your grandfather is sick, and the doctor said it was cancer."
Mother Wang Fen's crying voice came from the mobile phone.
"What?"
Lu Chen's whole body stiffened, and he felt that his head was blank.
He was not prepared for this sudden bad news.
"Mom, what the hell is going on, why did you suddenly ...... for no reason"
Lu Chen, who came back to his senses, hurriedly asked.
He remembered that his grandfather had always been in good health, but why did he suddenly get cancer.
"I don't know very well, your grandfather suddenly fell ill last night, and we hurriedly sent him to the hospital here in Rongcheng, and he was rescued overnight, and the operation just ended."
Wang Fen cried.
"Mom, I'll go back now, I'll fly back right away."
After hurriedly saying this, Lu Chen hung up the phone.
Then Lu Chen looked at the two women who had woken up, and said to Lin Qian: "Lin Qian, I am going back to my hometown soon, you can drive me to the airport." ”
"Good!"
Lin Qian vaguely heard a little bit of Lu Chen's phone call just now, and did not delay at this time, and quickly got up and dressed.
Ten minutes later, Lin Qian drove Lu Chen to the airport in a Lamborghini.
On the bus, Lu Chen bought the earliest flight from Zhongdu to his hometown Rongcheng through online booking.
After doing all this, Lu Chen found that his hands were still trembling slightly.
Looking at the scenery flashing quickly outside the window, Lu Chen tried to calm himself down.
At this time, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of his grandfather Lu Jianhua.
Lu Chen was brought up by his grandparents since he was a child, so he has a very good relationship with his grandparents.
Now that he suddenly heard that his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, Lu Chen really couldn't accept it.
He couldn't accept that his grandfather, who had loved him very much since he was a child, was about to leave him.
But cancer represents death in this world, even if he has hundreds of millions now, it is useless, because there is no medicine that can treat cancer in this world, so even if he has money, there is nowhere to buy it.
How many rich people in this world have died of cancer, at most their money has made them struggle for a while longer.
"No, I'm not like the other rich people."
"I now have the merchant system of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and I can travel to other worlds."
"There is no cure for cancer in this world, but that doesn't mean there are no other worlds."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he frowned again, because there were only two worlds he could go to at the moment.
Among them, there is no need to think about the ancient world, which may not be able to cure even a serious cold and fever, let alone cancer.
Now we can only hope in the apocalyptic world.
Lu Chen, who had spent two days in the end times, knew that the technology level of the end world was higher than that of this side.
As for how much higher, whether it can cure cancer Lu Chen is not sure.
But when you think that there are even zombies over there, maybe there is some magical technology.
After all, he has no other choice but this post-apocalyptic world.
Unless the system can find a new dimensional coordinates.
However, I remember that the system has not searched for new plane coordinates for more than half a month, and I don't know how long it will take to search for the next plane coordinates.
And even if you search for new plane coordinates, you may not be able to find a cure for cancer in the new world.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was irritable, which was full of too much uncertainty.
And most importantly, will his grandfather be able to wait until then?
As if knowing Lu Chen's anxiety, Lin Qian spent more than half an hour driving the sports car to the airport in Zhongdu.
After saying goodbye to Lin Qian in a hurry, Lu Chen walked into the airport.
When he came to the terminal, there was still more than an hour before the plane took off.
couldn't help but because Lu Chen bought a first-class ticket, he boarded the plane through the VIP channel in advance under the guidance of the flight attendant.
While Lu Chen was anxiously waiting, the plane finally rose into the air an hour later.
Lu Chen's hometown of Rongcheng is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Zhongdu, and the plane arrived at Rongcheng Airport more than two hours later.
As soon as he got off the plane, Lu Chen quickly found a taxi and went to Rongcheng First Hospital.
In the car, Lu Chen called his mother again to confirm the situation and location.
Rongcheng is a small city, and it took more than ten minutes for a taxi to drive to the entrance of the hospital.
He threw down a hundred-dollar bill, opened the car door and rushed out.
Lu Chen took the elevator to the 9th floor.
The 9th floor is the ICU ward, and as soon as Lu Chen got out of the elevator, he saw his father and mother outside the ward.
Ma Fen was walking around outside the ward, while his father Lu Changping was sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette, and Lu Chen saw a box of lime powder at his father's feet full of cigarette butts.
Lu Chen's family has been passed down for three generations, and his mother's relatives are in the next city, so only Lu Chen's parents are waiting outside the ICU ward.
"Mom and Dad, how is Grandpa doing now?"
Lu Chen hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Chenzi, you're here."
"Woo, your grandfather is in a bad situation."
As soon as she saw Lu Chen, Wang Fen couldn't help but hug him and cry.
"Mom, don't worry,"
Lu Chen was helpless, so he could only pat his mother's shoulder to comfort her first, and then looked at his father Lu Changping.
"It's liver cancer, the doctor said it was found too late, the cancer cells have spread throughout the body, and there is no way to treat it, at most, ,,, have a month to live at most."
Lu Changping looked at Lu Chen with a sad face, his bloodshot eyes full of helplessness.
"This,"
Lu Chen's body shook when he heard it, he didn't expect it to be so fast, it was only a month.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Changping continued: "Chenzi, the doctor advised us to give up the treatment, saying that it would be a waste of money to continue to be hospitalized here, and we couldn't last a few days. ”
"And the ICU costs a lot, it costs more than 20,000 yuan a day, and in the end it has no effect, so let's go home and take advantage of this time to accompany the elderly."
At this time, Wang Fen also let go of Lu Chen and said to him: "Chenzi, don't go back during this time, stay with your grandfather at home." ”
"If you can't take a leave of absence for work, I'll find a new job in the future."
"Mom and Dad, I'm talking about this later, I'll go to see grandpa first."
Lu Chen nodded, and then said.
"It's okay, your grandfather is still unconscious, I'll go talk to the nurse."
After Lu Changping finished speaking, he walked to the door of the ICU and rang the doorbell.
Soon a nurse came out, and after Lu Changping said a few words to her, the nurse took Lu Chen into the ICU ward.
"Grandpa......"
As soon as he saw his grandfather lying on the hospital bed, with all kinds of tubes stuck all over his body, and a ventilator in his mouth, Lu Chen's tears couldn't help but fall.
Thinking of his grandfather's kindness to him all the time, Lu Chen decided that he would go to the apocalyptic world no matter what, because that was the only hope at present.
