Chapter 26: Miracle of Life
The three of them soon saw Lu Guohua returning with a stack of reports in his hands, unable to conceal the joy on his face. All of them revealed puzzled expressions.
“What happened to make you so happy? Has Zhaozhao’s condition improved?” Ruan Qiongfang was the first to ask.
After her grandson had been taking medicine for so long, although it was meant to control the illness, they had also harbored hope that his condition might improve, which was why she asked this.
Lu Guohua did not answer. He directly handed the report sheets in his hand to her.
Ruan Qiongfang took them and glanced over them. Shock instantly appeared on her face, followed by wild joy. The overwhelming happiness made her cheeks flush red as she asked excitedly, “Is this real? Is this real? The doctor didn’t make a mistake?”
Beside her, Lu Weibo quickly took the reports and began flipping through them.
Originally, their family could not understand these reports, nor did they comprehend the professional medical terminology.
But ever since Zhaozhao had developed this illness, they had taken the initiative to learn about it, consulting various doctors and searching online. Over time, they naturally came to understand the meaning of the different indicators on the reports.
After looking through the reports, Lu Weibo’s face was also filled with shock. Even the hand holding the report was trembling.
He could hardly believe his eyes and even suspected that he had remembered the indicator values incorrectly. Trembling, he took out his phone to check the normal ranges for blood calcium, blood phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bone calcium, and so on.
“Old man, this is real? This is really Zhaozhao’s report? There’s no mistake, right… could there be a mistake…”
Ruan Qiongfang grabbed Lu Guohua’s arm, her speech becoming somewhat incoherent.
“How could there be a mistake? Isn’t Zhaozhao’s name on the report? If you don’t believe it, go do another test.”
“Yes, yes, another test… another test…” Lu Weibo said excitedly.
He repeatedly checked the report in his hands, comparing each value with those on his phone. His whole person became somewhat dazed, as if everything were a dream and the entire world felt unreal.
“I was just saying that. No need to make a fuss. Take the report to the doctor and have them look at it,” Lu Guohua said.
Professional matters should naturally be handled by professionals. After getting the report, they still needed to consult a doctor.
“Right, which doctor did you go to? Which consultation room?” Ruan Qiongfang asked urgently.
Only Huang Jingxian, who was holding her son, still looked completely confused.
“What are you all talking about?”
“Zhaozhao’s illness is gone—completely gone. All the values are normal. Zhaozhao is very healthy…”
Lu Guohua raised the report in his hand and said loudly, attracting the attention of nearby patients and their families.
“Really? Could there be a mistake?” Huang Jingxian said skeptically.
Of course she hoped her son’s illness could be cured, but could such a disease just disappear like that? It was an incurable condition with no possibility of recovery. She could believe that it was under control, but a complete cure sounded like a dream.
“Let’s not talk about that… not yet. Let’s go have the doctor take a look first.”
Ruan Qiongfang snatched the report from Lu Weibo’s hands and quickly headed toward the consultation room Lu Guohua had mentioned.
Lu Weibo hurriedly took Zhaozhao from his wife and followed.
Seeing Huang Jingxian still standing there in a daze, Lu Guohua called out to her and followed as well.
Before long, the family of four came out of the consultation room with joyful expressions.
Because the doctor had just clearly told them that the child was very healthy and had no illness at all—only a slight calcium deficiency, which could be resolved by taking supplements.
They had repeatedly questioned and confirmed it to the point that the doctor became annoyed and drove this “peculiar” family out.
“I… I’m not dreaming, am I?” Huang Jingxian said, holding her forehead.
It did feel quite hot—could she have a fever that had burned her brain?
“Zhaozhao’s illness is really cured? He can be like a normal child now?” Lu Weibo said in a daze.
He even pinched himself hard, baring his teeth in pain.
Only Ruan Qiongfang remained the calmest. She kept looking at Lu Guohua, clearly having some suspicions in her heart.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Zhaozhao was never sick. It was a misdiagnosis before,” Lu Guohua said seriously, correcting them.
Lu Weibo and his wife were stunned upon hearing this, but they were not fools. They instantly realized that something unusual must be going on.
Ruan Qiongfang became even more certain that Lu Guohua must have done something when he took the child out today.
But no matter how much she racked her brain, she could not figure out what could have made her grandson’s illness suddenly disappear.
Clearly, however, this was neither the time nor the place to ask about it.
“Tomorrow… forget it, let’s take Zhaozhao for a genetic screening right now,” Lu Guohua said.
“Then let’s go to the First Municipal Hospital,” Lu Weibo said without hesitation.
Zhaozhao had been examined there before, and he even had acquaintances there.
“No, we’ll go somewhere else—to the Children’s Hospital,” Lu Guohua said.
Just as Lu Weibo was about to speak, Huang Jingxian interrupted him.
“Let’s listen to Dad. We’ll go to the Children’s Hospital now.”
Thus, the family of four took the child and hurried toward the Children’s Hospital.
On the way, Huang Jingxian could not suppress her curiosity and began asking her son.
“Zhaozhao, tell Mommy, where did Grandpa take you today?”
Lu Guohua’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had not thought of this angle, but even if he had, there was nothing he could do—Zhaozhao would not be able to keep a secret anyway.
Moreover, even if they asked Zhaozhao, they would not get much information.
So Lu Guohua simply pretended to be clueless and firmly denied everything.
Although Shen Qingzhou’s abilities shocked and amazed him, even shattering his worldview, he was unwilling for his family to have too much contact with him.
Whether it was the process of casting techniques or this method of supplementing fortune, none of it seemed like a proper path. He did not know whether dealing with him might bring danger.
So if there truly was any danger, he would bear it alone.
Not to mention the family heading to the Children’s Hospital—after Shen Qingzhou finished bathing and came out, he found several more “people” in the room, along with a dog.
“Huh? Why are you all here? And Xiao Qiu, didn’t you go back with your mom?” Shen Qingzhou asked while wiping his wet hair.
At that moment, Xiao Qiu was riding on a black dog, bouncing around the room. The dog was Wu Ying.
It was unknown when the two of them had become acquainted.
“I came to play with Little Black. Anyway… anyway, Mom and Grandpa can’t see me,” Xiao Qiu said, sounding a bit sad.
“You…” Shen Qingzhou reached out and patted her little head.
He actually liked children quite a lot. From a young age, he had learned to take care of younger kids. After all, the welfare institute did not have enough staff, so the older children would help look after the younger ones—this could be considered a kind of tradition.
“It’s not called Little Black. It’s called Wu Ying,” Shen Qingzhou corrected.
Upon hearing its name, Wu Ying immediately barked a few times.
Xiao Qiu immediately broke into a big smile, squinting her eyes as she hugged Wu Ying’s neck and rubbed against it, while Wu Ying was also very affectionate toward her.
“What a lovely little girl. Such a pity, sigh…”
The one who spoke was a middle-aged woman, also one of Shen Qingzhou’s assistants, named Wu Suyun.
She was an extremely capable career woman who had even founded her own fashion brand. Unfortunately, her career had collapsed midway. By chance, she met Shen Qingzhou and was now working under him, handling some tasks.
The other “person” in the room was naturally Zhao Xuliang. He had brought Shen Qingzhou news about the murderer in the throat-slitting case.
