I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 180 - 150: Lung Cancer, Terminal Stage! [Double Length] (Part 4)

Shi Zixiong fell into deep thought upon hearing these words.

To be honest, he couldn’t accept Lu Jiu’s answer.

The answer he hoped to hear was that it could be treated. Even if it couldn’t be cured, at least it could save his mother’s life.

But Lu Jiu said there was no guarantee of a cure, and it could even get worse.

As a son, Shi Zixiong truly couldn’t accept this. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But he also understood that once the hospital advised them to give up treatment, he was left with only two options.

One was to wait for death at home, the other was to try traditional Chinese medicine.

"Dr. Lu, how confident are you?" Shi Zixiong asked.

Lu Jiu shook his head, "It’s not a matter of confidence, there’s simply no confidence."

Shi Zixiong was puzzled, "But didn’t you treat breast cancer before?"

Lu Jiu said helplessly, "That was early-stage breast cancer. She hadn’t undergone surgery or chemotherapy. Besides, I didn’t completely cure her. Your mother’s situation is late-stage lung cancer! She’s had surgery and chemotherapy, and now you came to me because the hospital couldn’t do anything. They’ve already declared her incurable, and yet you’re asking how confident I am? Do you think I alone can match an entire top-tier hospital!?"

Lu Jiu was very grateful for the patients’ trust in traditional Chinese medicine, but too much trust left him feeling overwhelmed.

Shi Zixiong waved his hand repeatedly, "Dr. Lu, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t intend to make things difficult for you, but my mom... she..."

Thinking about having to make a life-and-death decision for his mother, Shi Zixiong couldn’t control his emotions.

After all, he was only thirty years old, had been married for less than three years, and just started his role as a father earlier this year.

Having a daughter made him realize what it’s like to be a parent.

Since childhood, he was mischievous, and for this, he was often punished by his mother.

In middle school, he skipped classes to play games, and his mother dragged him out of an internet cafe, giving him a stern scolding. When they got home, he was beaten so badly that he ran all over the house.

In high school, when the academic pressure was high, his mother was always there with him, waking him up in the morning, making breakfast, picking him up after school in the evening, and not allowing him to eat outside snacks.

After finally finishing the college entrance exams, he wanted to choose a university in Dongguang, not for anything else but to be a bit further from his mom.

But in the end, he couldn’t resist his mother’s wishes and chose a university within the province.

After graduation, he wanted to work elsewhere, but as soon as he arrived in Dongguang, he was scammed and ended up broke, shamelessly telling his mother about it.

That was the first time his mother didn’t scold him but instead advised him to come home and take the local civil service exam.

That was also the first time he felt his mother’s controlling nature wasn’t so unbearable.

Upon returning to West Shaanxi, he spent two years finally securing a civil service position and smoothly married a girl from the power bureau through a colleague’s introduction.

Despite all these years, his mother still acted arbitrarily on endless small matters, often disregarding his feelings, and for this, he and his wife planned to buy another house to escape this family.

But before they could act on their plan, the cancer changed everything completely.

It was only after learning about his mother’s lung cancer that Shi Zixiong suddenly felt a part of his heart was empty, incredibly painful.

He finally understood that the years he wanted to escape his mother, he wasn’t afraid because he knew she was always there.

No matter where he went, he was still a child with a mother.

"I understand how you feel, but my abilities are indeed limited, I apo..."

"Dr. Lu, I promise, I promise you, as long as you are willing to treat her, I will bear all the consequences myself. I’ll write a guarantee right now!"

Before Lu Jiu could finish, Shi Zixiong gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Jiu with a resolute gaze. He was well aware that his mother couldn’t afford any delays. Just the journey from West Shaanxi to Jianghan had worsened her condition to the point she couldn’t endure another trip seeking reliable treatment in other places.

Besides, he didn’t know any other traditional Chinese medicine doctors capable of treating cancer.

Instead of aimlessly searching for an unknown, it was better to let Lu Jiu give it a try.

What if... she gets cured?
