Chapter 567 - 566: Mrs. Shen Is in Trouble
"..."
How could Shen Yan not see through her mom’s thoughts? She’s always insisted on finding a man with a house and a car for herself to marry, not wanting to spend her life with some poor guy and end up as a worn-out housewife.
Actually, Mrs. Shen’s thinking is right. Who wants to remain poor forever? Having experienced it herself, she’s become tired of it, so when Chen Tianlong came along, the first test she had was about money.
Now that Chen Tianlong has passed this test, everything else is easier to discuss. Love or no love, her daughter actually brought him home, so there must be something going on. She does quite trust her daughter Shen Yan’s judgment.
Just as everyone was feeling happy, suddenly Mrs. Shen’s brow furrowed, as if something had gone wrong. The next moment, she clutched her stomach, her expression extremely ugly, and then it became deathly pale.
"Wife, what’s wrong?"
Mr. Shen immediately noticed something was wrong with Mrs. Shen. He hurriedly ran over and held her in his arms, anxiously asking, "Where do you feel uncomfortable, wife, please tell me quickly."
"I... my stomach hurts, it hurts so much."
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth against the pain, which was too overwhelming. She clasped her stomach with one hand and tightly gripped Mr. Shen’s arm with the other.
Immediately, Mr. Shen’s arm was covered in a bloody mess, which showed just how hard she was gripping, as if it was as painful as childbirth.
"Oh no, Shen Yan, your mom’s stomach issue has flared up again, and it seems worse than last time. Now your mom’s condition has probably worsened, and she needs to be rushed to the hospital, otherwise it could be life-threatening."
Mr. Shen frowned deeply. This situation was very urgent, and she needed to be taken to the hospital immediately. He’s well aware of Mrs. Shen’s health; they had kept it from Shen Yan to avoid worrying her. In truth, Mrs. Shen doesn’t have a simple stomach issue but stomach cancer.
At this point, Chen Tianlong also walked over. As a disciple of a Divine Doctor, how could he not take action in such a situation?
He knelt down on the ground and took Mrs. Shen’s hand, grasping her pulse point firmly, and then gently closed his eyes.
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s actions, Shen Yan and Mr. Shen were momentarily stunned, but the next moment, they realized that Chen Tianlong was diagnosing Mrs. Shen. So they quieted down and waited.
In this situation, even if Mr. Shen called 120 immediately, it would be useless. Seeing how seriously Chen Tianlong was taking it, they knew he must have some skill.
Indeed, in less than a minute, Chen Tianlong frowned and, without saying a word, directly began using his Heart Method. He had to use his Powerful Qi to protect Mrs. Shen’s Heart Meridian because he noticed the virus had already entered her body and was about to attack the Heart Meridian.
At this point, Chen Tianlong couldn’t hold back anymore. He retrieved a row of silver needles wrapped in special fabric from a hidden pocket in his jacket. These were the matching silver needles given to him by Li Tianyou.
Holding the silver needles, Chen Tianlong quickly inserted two needles each into three crucial points: Mrs. Shen’s head, chest, and back, and then skillfully began massaging her back.
His Technique was very skilled, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water.
If Shen Yan didn’t know Chen Tianlong, she would have thought they had encountered some kind of Divine Doctor expert.
Not long after, Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, the pallor on her face gradually faded, and her stomach stopped hurting for the moment. Seeing her return to her usual self, both Shen Yan and Mr. Shen felt relieved.
"Mom, are you okay?" Shen Yan quickly walked over to support Mrs. Shen, asking with concern, "Mom, does it still hurt?"
"Phew, it doesn’t hurt anymore, don’t worry, it’s just a stomach issue flaring up."
Although Mrs. Shen said this, she knew her own body. Of course, Chen Tianlong could also see through it; otherwise, what’s the point of being called a Divine Doctor? Judging from the pulse just now, the cancer is already nearing mid-stage, and if she doesn’t go to the hospital soon for surgery, not even Hua Tuo reincarnated could cure it.
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Tianlong decided to speak, "Mrs. Shen, I think your condition has only been temporarily relieved. I suggest you see a doctor immediately, or else... the consequences could be quite severe."
Shen Yan was taken aback, looking at Chen Tianlong’s hesitant expression and then at Mr. Shen, she walked over, somewhat worriedly asking, "Is mom’s stomach issue very serious?"
Mr. Shen hesitated for a moment before sighing, feeling embarrassed, "Sigh, Shen Yan, there’s something I haven’t told you. Your mom doesn’t have an ordinary stomach issue, but..."
"But what, Dad? You’re killing me with suspense, just say it. What’s wrong with mom’s stomach issue, has it gotten worse?" Shen Yan, an impatient person, immediately asked when she heard there was a problem with the current condition.
"Uh, the doctor said she has stomach cancer, and it’s already mid-stage. Surgery is risky; if something goes wrong, she might never wake up again. So, your mom refuses to have surgery, fearing she won’t see you get married..."
Saying this, Mr. Shen couldn’t help but shed tears.
By now, Shen Yan’s eyes were also red. Seeing the expressions of the father and daughter, and then looking at Chen Tianlong, Mrs. Shen quickly stood up and said, "What are you two doing? I’m still fine, don’t make it seem like I’m about to die."
"Mom, just stop talking."
Shen Yan was a bit overwhelmed. Her mom was always so optimistic and cheerful, never sharing her struggles with her.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong walked over and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Mrs. Shen, if I may speak frankly, judging from your symptoms just now, I’ve only temporarily suppressed your condition. It will relapse shortly, and when it does, it could be worse, possibly leading to immediate unconsciousness."
"Ah? It’s that serious?" Shen Yan was very surprised upon hearing this, as she trusted Chen Tianlong’s words.
"Yes, it’s very serious, which is why I suggest taking Auntie to the hospital immediately for surgery."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t very sure. If Zhang Ju were to perform the surgery, the success rate would be relatively higher. However, he had already come once before, and it was that incident that brought him danger. It wouldn’t be easy to ask him again now.
"Then, Dad, should we take Mom to the hospital?" Shen Yan was also troubled, knowing things weren’t that simple. If surgery were an option, Dad would have done so already.
"Well... I don’t know either." Mr. Shen hesitated before saying, "Actually, the doctor had mentioned surgery before, but your mom refused no matter what, and I couldn’t do anything about it."
Shen Yan, hearing this, immediately turned to Mrs. Shen and pleaded, "Mom, please go for the surgery. I don’t want to be without a mom. I want you to live a healthy life for the rest of your years."
Seeing Shen Yan’s tearful eyes, Mrs. Shen sighed. The reason she avoided surgery was the fear of dying before seeing her daughter get married.
Now, seeing Chen Tianlong, such a reliable son-in-law, she finally felt at ease. Regardless of the surgery’s outcome, she was reassured.
