But if I sacrifice so much and still can’t go on living, then what’s the point of it all?

The doctor froze for a moment, but for the girl in front of him, this question didn’t surprise him.

As a specialist in oncology, he had seen at least a thousand, if not ten thousand, patients.

Over the decades, he had seen all kinds of cancer patients.

Almost every cancer patient, at the initial consultation, would ask him the same thing.

Can I recover?

How big are my chances of recovery?

He could actually understand this question.

After all, cancer is different from all other illnesses; cancer is a terminal disease, with high risk and high cost.

Many times, after being tormented for a year or more, the patient ends up losing both life and money.

But this is something no one can help.

Right now, in the world of medicine, cancer is still a problem that’s hard to crack.

If it’s a common, ordinary, benign, early-stage cancer, after a round of treatment, the odds of recovery are still quite high.

But for late-stage, or even metastatic cancers like this, the recovery rate basically doesn’t even reach one in ten thousand.

That’s the fact!

It’s cruel, but that’s the reality!

"Uh, let me put it this way: if you get hospitalized and start treatment now, you can still live another half a year."

The doctor thought for a bit and said.

"Half a year?"

Morgana Nana’s face changed drastically, and even her voice was trembling.

"Mm, that’s the best-case scenario, because this is late-stage pancreatic cancer, and it has already spread."

"It’s spreading every moment. If you hurry up and get hospitalized now, we can still temporarily keep it under control."

The doctor said in a low voice.

"Thank you. I want to think about it a bit more."

Morgana Nana’s tone was low.

She couldn’t accept this result, and she didn’t want to accept it.

If all she got was another half a year, she didn’t want that half a year!

Because once treatment started, she would become neither human nor ghost.

Rather than living on so pathetically, surviving under other people’s sympathy and pity, she’d rather die.

"Alright then, go home and think it over. It’s best if you communicate with your family."

The doctor wasn’t surprised.

The psychological blow of late-stage cancer is huge for a patient. Most people find it hard to accept in a short time, let alone get hospitalized right away.

Some will go to a few more hospitals for more tests; others need some time to accept the fact.

...

Leaving the hospital, Morgana Nana hailed a cab and went straight home.

Back home, after taking a shower, she sat in front of the mirror, and suddenly lay on the table and burst into tears.

The news had come far too suddenly!

Her career had only just started to pick up in the last two years. She’d been planning to buy a place of her own in the Magic Capital, to finally settle down in life.

But now, all her plans had been thrown into chaos.

"No, I don’t want to die, I still don’t want to die. I’ve never even had a boyfriend, I haven’t gotten married, I haven’t gone out to travel the world properly, there are still so many, so many things I haven’t done..."

Half an hour later, Morgana Nana’s emotions finally calmed down a lot.

She sat in front of the mirror, carefully putting on makeup and dolling herself up.

After she finished her makeup and changed into her favorite little fox-spirit outfit, just as she was about to start streaming, she suddenly thought of someone. The dead-gray look in her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Doctor Xia, how could I have forgotten about him? He’s a miracle doctor. Just by taking a look, he could describe my condition word for word."

"He must be able to treat my illness too, he definitely can."

Thinking of this, Morgana Nana hurriedly opened Dou Sha and entered Xia Liang’s live room.

Yesterday, she had already followed Xia Liang’s channel.

When she came into Xia Liang’s live room, she found it still pitch-black—Xia Liang hadn’t gone live yet.

But in the chat, there were still quite a few people hanging around and chatting.

Among these people, Morgana Nana saw a lot of familiar accounts and names.

"Doctor Xia is really insane-level good. The infertility that Western medicine couldn’t fix, he can actually handle!"

"Hard to say yet, right? Top Brother just went to get the herbs. Whether it works or not, you need to finish at least one course before you can tell."

"Even if we don’t know Top Brother’s outcome yet, just the fact that Doctor Xia dared to prescribe him herbs makes me feel like this illness should be curable!"

"Exactly, Doctor Xia doesn’t look like the kind of person who does things he’s not confident about!"

...

After watching for a while, Morgana Nana instantly understood what had happened.

Turns out that after she left last night, her Top Brother, "Squirrel Who Steals Chestnuts," had actually come to Xia Liang for treatment.

And it was for infertility, at that—and the key thing was Doctor Xia had actually written a prescription.

What did that mean? It meant that this illness had a chance of being cured.

Of course Morgana Nana knew about infertility. Even though modern medicine was very advanced, and Western medicine had deep research and experience in andrology,

the cure rate for infertility was still not high.

And now, Xia Liang actually dared to prescribe a formula, which showed he had a certain level of confidence.

Thinking of this, Morgana Nana’s heart started pounding "thump, thump."

She felt like there was hope for her cancer! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Hurry up and get online, why aren’t you live yet?"

Morgana Nana was getting anxious.

...

Unknowingly, night had fallen. Xia Liang walked over and closed the clinic door.

"Sigh, another day with not a single patient walking in!"

"Good thing I’m smart enough to start streaming consultations online, or else I probably wouldn’t even trigger the hidden quest."

Although he’d long since gotten used to days like this, Xia Liang still had to complain when it was time to complain.

Then he turned on the clinic lights, boiled a pot of hot tea, sat at the table, and opened his live room.

As soon as the live room went on, the viewer count instantly shot up to over a hundred thousand.

He checked the backend and saw there were actually more than a thousand people waiting in the room.

In other words, before he’d even started the stream, those thousand people had already been waiting there.

Xia Liang felt a bit of a headache. Had he gone viral again?

In the live room, when countless viewers saw the screen light up and the familiar scene and familiar face appear, everyone suddenly got excited.

"Damn, I’ve been waiting day and night for Doctor Xia to finally go live."

"Scared me, I thought Doctor Xia wasn’t streaming today!"

"Doctor Xia is still just as handsome, just as good-looking, just as young."

...

Facing all the flattery from the viewers, Xia Liang gave a faint smile and calmly accepted it.

"Hello everyone, we meet again."

Beep beep...

Just then, a notification sounded in the live room—it was a video call request.

Xia Liang took a look. It was Morgana Nana!

He wasn’t surprised that she’d sent a video request.

She must have already gone to the hospital for tests and learned about her condition.
