Jiang Mianmian's surgery was very successful, and Jiang Tian was sent to prison by Jiang Jingxiu. Everything was developing in a good direction, yet Jiang Jingxiu was like a lost soul every day, often spacing out. Sometimes, he wouldn't even hear when people called him.
Tonight, after sobering up, he came to find Jin Lan. Jin Lan looked at the drunkard with helplessness. Jiang Jingxiu hugged Jin Lan, crying and laughing, and said many things.
Jin Lan just listened quietly, not saying anything, because he knew that Jiang Jingxiu didn't need to talk to anyone at the moment. He just needed to vent all the pent-up emotions in his heart.
It was good to vent them out, otherwise, they would keep accumulating in his heart, growing more and more until the next outburst, which might be explosive. Releasing them bit by bit now, he would be fine after a good sleep.
Before dawn, Jiang Jingxiu finally fell asleep. Jin Lan let him sleep, while he leaned on a chair until morning.
He had thought of many things. He used to feel guilty towards his parents, for failing their expectations and for them not being able to see him take over the Jin family before they died. Now, he felt guilty towards his sister. He had been too selfish, solely focused on his dream of practicing medicine, and had dumped all the responsibilities onto his sister.
Jin Lan truly felt heartbroken. He had let down his family too much in this life!
...
The next day, Jin Qing's medical examination reports were all out. Jin Lan obtained them all. When he saw his sister's blood test results, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Many blood parameters were abnormal, and as a doctor, he knew this was not a good sign!
But how could this be? He and his sister had their mother personally nurture their bodies from childhood, soaking them in traditional Chinese medicine, so both siblings had excellent health. He barely got sick until now.
His sister and he used the same medicine and ate the same food. There was no reason for his sister's body to have so many abnormalities.
He recalled what Li Xuan had said yesterday, that Chu Weixian's gaze at his sister seemed strange.
Jin Lan dared not think further. He immediately called Li Xuan and asked if Jin Qing had gone to the company.
Li Xuan said she had and was currently in a morning meeting. Jin Lan asked him to bring his sister to the hospital later.
Li Xuan asked, "How are the test reports?"
"Not very good. Several items are abnormal, and further checks are needed." Jin Lan was also very confused now, unable to figure out what was going on.
He needed some time to thoroughly understand what was happening.
If he found out that his sister's health condition was related to Chu Weixian, he would personally kill him!
...
Jin Qing was brought to the hospital by Li Xuan. Her complexion was not good. Jin Lan directly informed her about her physical condition and the need for further examination.
He had already consulted specialists. The specialists said that this situation was very likely early-stage cancer.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and treatment was still possible. If it had been a few months later, when the cancer cells had spread, it would have been difficult to save her.
Jin Lan almost collapsed after hearing this. He couldn't understand how his sister could have such a terrifying disease as cancer!
After arriving, Jin Qing was re-examined. Upon learning that she might have cancer, Jin Qing was also quite surprised. Their family had no history of this illness, and she usually lived a healthy life. How could she have gotten such a disease?
Li Xuan frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything in front of Jin Qing.
Chu Weixian's call came again. Jin Qing found it strange. Chu Weixian had been too attentive these past few days. They had been in a cold war before because of the matter of moving out of the old house.
In such situations, Chu Weixian would usually go on business trips, staying away for two to three months at a time. But this time, not only did he not leave, but he also called frequently and showed concern for her health.
"That's weird," Jin Qing couldn't help but say.
"Who is it? Is it brother-in-law again?" Jin Lan's eyes turned cold when he mentioned this man.
