Demons Beside You

Chapter 42: Take The Wrong Thing?

“There’s no mistake,” the doctor in the lab said, a bit frustrated. “Your professor’s blood sample is still here. If you don’t believe me, you can test it again. Only your professor’s blood sample was extracted and tested today. There’s no way I messed up the only sample and report.”

“But this is impossible. She’s in the late stage of stomach cancer. She can’t have such low fatty acid synthase.”

Faur took the blood sample and tested it herself. However, the result was the same as the previous report.

She returned to Wright, who asked, “Did you receive the test report?”

Faur handed the report to her. “Professor, take a look.”

“How is it lower than before? What’s going on? Faur, are you lying to me now?”

“Professor, this is your report.”

“This is impossible. You took the same blood sample, but you got two sets of completely different numbers.”

“Professor, I need to do a full checkup for you, including gastroscopy, CT scan, X-ray, and it’s best to collect another blood sample.”

“Is this necessary?”

“Professor, I believe it’s necessary.”

“Alright. If you must, then let’s do it.”

The next hour was very painful for Wright, especially during the gastroscopy. Even though she was a medical professor, she still hated gastroscopy. It was inhumane torture.

However, the test report came out quickly.

“Professor, look at your gastroscopy.”

“Is this really my gastroscopy?”

“Yes. The shadow is where your cancer tumor is, but compared to last time, it’s much smaller.”

“This is impossible.”

“You were watching it personally. There’s no way for me to lie.”

“Are the CT and X-ray scans out too?”

“Dr. Faur, the CT scan is out.” A nurse brought over the scan.

After checking it, Faur handed it to Wright.

“This really is mine?” Wright still didn’t really believe it.

However, when the X-ray scan was brought over, the results were still the same.

“How is it that my tumor shrunk so quickly?”

“Professor, are you using some specific drug? Is it C-31?”

C-31 wasn’t being sold yet. It was still a specific drug that existed in research labs. Its main function was to repress fatty acid synthase. In theory, as long as fatty acid synthase was controlled, most cancerous cells could be killed within a day.

However, it wasn’t used in clinical treatment yet, so there was no way to get it.

“There’s no C-31 in any market—not even the black market. Where do I go to get it?”

“If you didn’t use some specific drug, then I can only say that God has blessed you.”

“This is too strange.” Wright was completely baffled.

At that time, the blood sample report came out too.

“Professor, the second test report is out. Your cancerous cells have been wiped out completely.”

“Really?”

“You are the second miracle of our hospital. The last time, there was a boy with brain cancer. We’ve already sent the notice to his family, but his tumor shrunk miraculously overnight. He wasn’t as lucky as you though. His tumor didn’t disappear completely like you.”

“There’s already a precedent?”

“Oh, yeah…That Asian man was there too…” It suddenly popped into Faur’s mind. “I remember now… That Asian man snuck into the boy’s room and I caught him. He said that he’d entered the wrong room. Professor, did he give you some medicine?”

“I don’t know. I was unconscious.”

“Maybe you should call him over to ask.”

“Help me call them all over.”

…

“Granny, this is great. As long as you’re okay.”

Ethan was hugging Wright excitedly, but the scene was difficult to watch. Ethan was too rough. It looked like a gangster bullying a senior citizen.

Chen Zhao grabbed Ethan. “Ethan, Wright’s going to suffocate like that. Let go of her.”

“Granny, how are you?”

“Not bad. Thank god Chen gave me medicine in time.”

“Uh…I didn’t give you medicine. I just took you to the hospital.”

“Chen.” Gerlyn looked at Chen Zhao in surprise. “You just—”

“Oh, I also gave you some water.”

“Chen, you’re a doctor. You should know that feeding water to an unconscious patient is very dangerous. You shouldn’t make mistakes like that.” Wright smiled at Chen Zhao.

On the side, Faur said, “Sir, Professor Wright’s cancer has been suppressed, so you don’t have to worry about getting sued for using some type of medicine. Please tell us truthfully what medicine you gave her. This will help her condition too.”

“I really don’t know what you’re saying. I am sure that I only gave Wright a cup of water and nothing else. I was an accident, doctor. It’s probably because I’m not professional enough. Wright, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have given you water while you were unconscious.”

“Sir, don’t you know that your medicine can save millions upon millions of lives?”

“Please use your pretty head and think a bit. If I really have some special medicine that can cure cancer, would I be kicked out of a motel because I can’t pay the rent?”

“Ethan, is that true?” Wright glared at Ethan.

“Bastard. Chen, stop the bullsh*t. You moved away yourself. I didn’t kick you out. I even helped you move!”

“Ethan, don’t cause a scene here. Wright, please rest up. We’ll go now.”

“Go.”

“Professor…”

“Faur, no need. He doesn’t want to talk.”

…

“Chen, you clearly gave her some black drug.”

“Chen, did you really save my granny?”

“No, you remembered incorrectly,” Chen Zhao insisted. He was basically speaking nonsense.

“Chen, I know you must’ve used some witchcraft, but the result is good, so I don’t care no matter what trick you used. Thank you for saving my granny.”

“Don’t think crazily like that. I didn’t do anything. Okay, I’m tired. Gerlyn, can you drive me home?”

Gerlyn had been a bit angry, but she still gave in. She could feel that there was a reason why Chen Zhao couldn’t reveal the truth.

However, she was sure that Chen Zhao had cured Wright. He didn’t admit it and the whole thing sounded crazy, but it was the truth.

After all, she’d seen it with her own eyes.
