Chapter 260 - Mu Qing’s Promise (Part Two)
Chapter 260: Mu Qing’s Promise (Part Two)
Jing Yichen said, “Anan’s case is quite special and I have to be cautious. Since you have accepted her, then you mustn’t give up halfway. We will never know when her disease would return and how much longer can she live for when she gets sick again. You have the right of choice now, but you mustn’t regret it once you have made the decision.”
Jing Yichen looked at Zhao Anan who was cursing Mu Qing at the time but seemed very happy.
Zhao Anan’s doctor in Germany once said that she seemed to be doing fine at the moment, and it had been lucky for her to recover to this degree.
But no one was certain if her disease would return anytime soon.
Zhao Anan had already accepted death as her future. She had planned not to get married after she was diagnosed with the disease. That was why she broke up with Mu Qing without hesitation and refused to be involved with him any more.
But now they were involved with each other again. Also, if Zhao Anan was going to be completely healthy throughout her entire life and her cancer didn’t return, then must she live her life alone?
If everyone else had a family and she was the only one left behind, then it would be too cruel for someone as cheerful and vibrant as her.
Mu Qing understood what Jing Yichen meant. He was worried that Zhao Anan would not live long enough and that he would abandon her when her disease returned.
But how could that be possible?
He would always stay by her side.
Mu Qing’s heart ached. He somehow hated himself for not being able to save the woman he loved so much, with his professional skills as a doctor!
The modern medication was still not able to cure cancer completely. It was not certain that she would be able to live happily and healthily till the end.
But even if she only lived for one year, one month or one day, he would want to stay by her side and cherish every second and minute shared with her.
“I believe that Anan is going to be fine. She is outgoing and very healthy. She is definitely going to live with me for the rest of our lives. Science would get more and more advanced and our hospital has made a huge progress in the studies of cancer. Cancer can be restrained, although it can’t be cured completely yet!”
Mu Qing had never revealed to anyone else about the achievement of the hospital studies, because that was the biggest secret of their hospital. If the research turned out to be successful and then it would cause a sensation. But they were just at the preliminary stage where the medication worked well on animals, but not on human beings yet.
Cancer hadn’t been his specialization earlier. He was good at surgeries and Chinese medicine. But after Zhao Anan got sick, he had put a lot of effort into the studies of cancer cells. Even Mu Wensheng underwent studies in this aspect and went to other cancer hospitals for exchange studies outside the country.
The billions of yuan Jing Yichen invested in Family Mu’s Hospital had been mostly used for the studies of cancer medication. Due to the abundant capital, the progress at the hospital was going on very fast and the results of the experiments had become surprisingly wonderful.
Since Jing Yichen trusted Mu Qing, he had only invested the capital, but never got involved with the daily operation of the hospital. So he didn’t have any idea that the hospital had reached such a breakthrough in the development of cancer medication.
He turned to Mu Qing, with his eyes sparkling. “Are you sure?”
Mu Qing smiled cautiously. “No one can be 100 % sure about curing the disease, but the medication that restrained the disease is able to keep the disease from increasing. As long as Anan is with me, I can watch out for her physical condition whenever I want, and I can check her up every time she needs me. That is an incomparable advantage. My knowledge of Chinese medicine is much better than many devices, otherwise I would not have noticed her disease at the earliest stage. I am much more professional than I was ten years ago and Anan would be much safer to stay with me.”
What Mu Qing said moved Jing Yichen, finally.
As a matter of fact, that was also the reason why Zhao Zhao hoped that Zhao Anan could marry Mu Qing.
What Jing Yichen wanted was a promise from Mu Qing. He knew Mu Qing well. He was a man who was fair and responsible. He would do whatever he was determined to do.
Apparently, Mu Qing had decided to take responsibility for Zhao Anan. He became assured and nodded calmly., “Okay, you passed the test.”
Mu Qing got delighted inside his heart hearing what he said.
It would be totally different if Jing Yichen was with him.
“Ning has already approved of you two. She has been helping you all the time. The only difficulty you are facing right now is Zhao Anan alone.”
Mu Qing had already noticed Shangguan Ning’s efforts. He smiled and then said happily, “Sister is a good person. I knew that ages ago. She is now my lucky star as well, because Zhao Anan turns deaf ears to what I say but she listens to whatever Sister says.”
They were just talking when Shangguan Ning came to them with Zhao Anan.
“Doctor Mu, Anan will try the gown with me tomorrow, please lend her to me for one day.”
Shangguan Ning had just finished speaking when Zhao Anan said unhappily, “My dearest Sister, how can you talk in this way? What do you mean by ‘lending her to you?’ I am not his, why do you have to ask him for permission?”
“You are mine! If you are not sure about it, then I will state it clearly again – you are mine, and you must tell me wherever you go in the future!” Mu Qing sounded very confident and then said to Shangguan Ning, “Sister, it is alright if I lend you my girlfriend. But can I tag along tomorrow as well? I can be your bag holder and pour water for you. I can be the driver and the doctor too. What do you think?”
Shangguan Ning was about to agree when Zhao Anan pulled her behind and said with a cold voice, “What are you tagging along for? I am the bridesmaid so I need to try the gown. You better stay at the hospital. If you join us, the entire group would become less good-looking and less intelligent!”
The reason why Mu Qing could become an elite in the medicine field and remember everything written in the text books, was because he was much more intelligent than Zhao Anan. As for his looks, he was definitely better looking than average men. He looked sunny and extremely handsome! He had once been assessed as the most handsome doctor in A City on TV. If he hadn’t been good-looking enough, Yang Muyan, a woman who thought so highly of herself, would not have fallen in love with him at first sight!
Zhao Anan was just slandering him so that he would not follow them to the shop, the next day.
Hearing what Zhao Anan said, Mu Qing didn’t get annoyed. Instead, he rolled his eyes and then spoke, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that Master Jing has just asked me to be his best man. So I will be coming along to try the ceremonial robe tomorrow as well!”
