She silently cursed, taking quick steps forward to snatch back the proposal.

"What are you doing rummaging through my things?!" Li Mingxi said displeased, hoping he hadn’t seen Jian Yufei’s name, otherwise he would know everything.

Just as Li Mingxi thought that, Xiao Lang stood up, pursing his lips and asked in a low voice, "Yufei has leukemia?!"

Li Mingxi was slightly stunned, he had found out after all...

"Tell me, this isn’t true!" Xiao Lang’s voice was tight, his hands clenched tightly together.

Li Mingxi didn’t know what to say.

"Say it, this isn’t true!"

"It’s true!"

"..." Xiao Lang’s eyes trembled, he never imagined that Jian Yufei would have leukemia.

In his impression, she was always strong, standing tall and resilient.

She had gone through so many hardships, yet now she was suffering from leukemia.

Maybe she wasn’t defeated by setbacks, but she might be defeated by illness.

Xiao Lang couldn’t accept this reality, his heart ached as if a hand was squeezing his heart and he could hardly breathe.

"How can this be, how can she suddenly get sick? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!" Xiao Lang asked several questions in a row.

Li Mingxi lowered her eyes, she didn’t tell him, simply because she didn’t want him to be upset.

Actually, this matter couldn’t be hidden forever, but she and Jian Yufei shared the same mindset, both hoping the men they liked could be happy for a few more days.

"Can it be cured?" Xiao Lang asked hopefully.

Li Mingxi shook her head, "I don’t know, it’s still under research, she just got sick, maybe it can be cured..."

She said these untruthful words, just to avoid making him more upset.

Xiao Lang came around to stand in front of her, he grasped her shoulders, Li Mingxi lifted her eyes to meet his dark ones.

"You can cure her, right? I was poisoned, all the doctors were at a loss, but you still cured me, so you can cure her too, right?"

Li Mingxi spoke honestly, "I’m not sure, don’t place too much hope on me."

"But you cured my illness..."

"The situations are different! You were not in any life-threatening condition, I had enough time to treat you. Jian Yufei’s condition is different, her illness will keep worsening, time is limited, I don’t necessarily have time to cure her. But maybe it can be cured quickly, leukemia can be treated now, don’t worry too much."

Xiao Lang asked calmly, "She needs a bone marrow transplant, right?"

A bone marrow transplant is ineffective...

"Yes, we’re currently looking for a fully matched bone marrow. If we find it, maybe she can be cured." Li Mingxi nodded.

Xiao Lang said, "Let me know if anything happens, and if you need my help, just say the word."

"I will."

"Then I’ll go now, you get busy." Xiao Lang released her, somewhat dazed as he walked out.

"Wait." Li Mingxi called after him, "Weren’t you here for a check-up? You’re leaving without it?"

Only then did Xiao Lang remember his purpose for coming to the hospital, but he was in no mood for a check-up.

"No need, I’m fine." With that, he turned and left.

Li Mingxi watched his desolate silhouette, feeling quite uneasy inside.

She collected her emotions and continued to work.

But in her mind, all she could think of was Xiao Lang’s forlorn expression.

He still cares a lot about Jian Yufei...

Li Mingxi had to admit, she was a bit jealous of Jian Yufei.

She’s already married, yet Xiao Lang still can’t forget her, some women’s luck with men is truly enviable.
