My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1143: No More than Three Months

Suddenly, intense spasms of pain seized his body, and he started to sweat coldly from his forehead, his face turning deathly pale, yet he didn’t make a sound, slowly waiting for the pain to subside.

An hour passed before Dr. Mason was called in.

Upon seeing his godfather’s expression, he knew what had just happened and shook his head silently; his godfather always refused to use painkillers.

He said that such pain was bestowed by life, and only by feeling pain could one feel the vivid presence of life.

Dr. Mason thought that this was an incredibly fearsome old man, disciplined almost to cruelty, even towards himself.

After taking the medicine, his godfather lay in a recliner to rest for a while.

Then he received a call from Gu Yan, learning that Ivan and his daughter had been imprisoned by Third Young Master Jun, which quite surprised him. He had thought that Jun Huang would have some reservations, but he didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, angering the Ivan Family. It really was troublesome!

"The Ivan father and daughter still have value for cooperation, especially Yiren. Jun Huang, you really are causing me trouble."

It seemed he had to make a trip there himself, as Yiren had something he very much wanted to get his hands on.

This was also why he had always wanted to bring Third Young Master Jun and Yiren together, such a pity.

Remembering that place was his homeland, he felt a rush of mixed emotions. It was not only the place of his birth and where he first made his mark, but also...

His feelings for that place were complicated. When he was young, it was a mix of love and hate, but as he aged, both feelings faded, replaced by a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps everyone who ventures out into the world eventually wishes to return to their roots, back to their own home.

"Mason, get the plane ready."

Dr. Mason nodded.

His godfather thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Prepare some morphine."

Dr. Mason looked surprised; his godfather was someone who never touched drugs.

...

Third Young Master Jun was in the hospital, undergoing examination and treatment by Yan Su.

Yan Su, clad in a white robe, took the thermometer, and the numbers showing darkened his mood.

It wasn’t a high fever, but a persistent fever was more terrifying than a high fever, signaling that the bacteria were continuously multiplying, their activity being stimulated at an increasing rate.

Third Young Master Jun, seeing his worried yet grave expression, understood and his face, stern and calm, showed little anxiety. "Yan Su, just say it outright. There’s nothing I can’t bear."

The medical room was deathly silent, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

After a long time, Yan Su took a deep breath, mentally braced himself, then whispered in a low voice.

"I’ll be honest then, just so you’re prepared. At this rate, you have no more than three months to live!"

A cruel and stark voice, uncovering an unpleasant but unavoidable reality.

Third Young Master Jun’s body shuddered, his lean, tall frame quietly leaning against the hospital bed, his head lowered, eyes downcast, not uttering a word.

Yan Su, observing him like this, felt far more pained than even he did.

He would rather have Third Young Master show expressions of pain, sadness, or fear, instead of this calm which was heartbreakingly serene. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

No one, when told the date of their own death, could feel happy; even those unafraid of death still suffer, especially those who have a family, a spouse, and children.

After a long while, Third Young Master Jun finally spoke, his voice unexpectedly calm and composed.

"So, if an effective drug isn’t developed, I won’t even be able to see my child’s birth."

Yan Su was astonished, expecting him to say something more significant.
