79: Chapter 79 A Dilemma

Inside the nursing home.

Shen Yan and the doctor sat facing each other.

"Doctor, what did you just say was wrong with my sister?"

The doctor took out the examination report and handed it to Shen Yan.

"This is yesterday's result. We found that your sister's brain waves are abnormally active."

Shen Yan picked up the report and glanced at it twice.

Since he wasn't proficient in this area, he put the report down after just two looks.

"What does that mean? Is my sister about to wake up?"

The doctor shook his head.

"Not exactly."

"Based on this alone, she won't wake up."

"The main reason I called you here today is to discuss sending your sister abroad for treatment."

Shen Yan realized something and proactively asked the doctor, "Are you suggesting I send my sister abroad right now?"

The doctor nodded.

"That overseas institution is currently admitting patients. I think you should try it out."

"She needs some strong stimulation right now. In other words, if she goes for treatment now, there's a high probability she can wake up."

After listening, Shen Yan remained silent.

This was a critical period for the company.

If he wasn't there, the company would likely collapse.

But he didn't want his sister to miss the golden window for treatment.

A knot of conflicted emotions tightened in his chest like a rope.

The doctor noticed his struggle and said to him:

"It's okay. You can go back and think it over carefully. Make your decision after you've thought it through."

Shen Yan nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Doctor. I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Leaving the nursing home.

Shen Yan walked aimlessly on the street.

"Beep beep!"

On the road, traffic was heavy, like dragons and horses.

He weaved continuously through the vehicles.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Although he knew that since ancient times, one could not have both fish and bear's paw (have it both ways), choosing between the company he had finally managed to establish and his sister made it truly impossible for him to decide.

After walking aimlessly for over three hours, he finally grew tired.

He took out his phone and called Chen Guangke.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"What's up?"

"Did that big shot blame you? Can our company still operate?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan paused for a moment before asking back, "Where are you right now? Come out for a drink together."

Chen Guangke was already worried about him.

Hearing him suggest going out for drinks, he immediately agreed.

Half an hour later.

The two appeared at a roadside barbecue stall.

After sitting down, Shen Yan directly opened a bottle of beer and started drinking.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"What is wrong with you? Why are you chugging a bottle as soon as you sit down?!"

Seeing him like that, Chen Guangke was extremely worried.

"Is that big shot really that angry about the incident?"

"It's actually fine. Even if he stops investing in us, we can still find other opportunities..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yan interrupted him.

"It's not because of that. It's because of my sister."

Mentioning Shen Ya.

Chen Guangke quieted down.

Shen Ya was the only relative Shen Yan had in this world besides his daughter.

It was completely reasonable for Shen Yan to react this way when she had problems.

Thinking this, Chen Guangke said softly, "It's alright. We are brothers. Just tell me directly if you have any problems."

"Whether I can help or not, I'm willing to be your trash can."

Shen Yan chuckled, patted Chen Guangke's shoulder.

"I'm not your girlfriend, why are you saying such cheesy things?"

"Don't worry, it's not bad news. The doctor told me my sister's condition is improving. If she goes for treatment now, there's a high probability she can wake up."

Chen Guangke's face lit up.

"Then that's good news! Why do you look so gloomy?!"

The smile on Shen Yan's face gradually disappeared.

"The doctor's suggestion is that it's best to send my sister to an overseas institution for treatment."

Chen Guangke blinked.

He belatedly understood what Shen Yan meant.

If Shen Yan wanted to send his sister to an overseas institution for treatment, he would have to go with her.

And now was the critical period for the company.

If Shen Yan left at this time, the company definitely wouldn't be able to continue operating.

After sorting out the whole situation, Chen Guangke suddenly didn't know what to say.

From his perspective.

He certainly didn't want the company to go bankrupt.

But he also knew how important Shen Ya was to Shen Yan.

As a brother, he couldn't persuade Shen Yan not to save his sister.

But as an Employee, he also couldn't bring himself to persuade Shen Yan to abandon everything carelessly and take his sister for treatment.

"So that's how it is..."

"It's fine. Don't you just want to drink? I'll accompany you today. We won't go home until we're drunk!"

Shen Yan nodded and drank bottle after bottle.

Because he drank too much, he finally couldn't remember when he passed out on the table.

When he woke up again, he was already in his own home.

"Hiss..."

He stood up and sucked in a cold breath.

He had drunk too much, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

There was the sound of chopping vegetables in the living room.

Shen Yan guessed it was Chen Guangke.

After all, only he would take him home.

He opened the door, walked towards the living room, and said to the person in the kitchen,

"Your alcohol tolerance is getting better and better. I'm this drunk, yet you're still hopping around..."

His voice trailed off as he saw the person in the kitchen.

"Liu Hui?!"

Liu Hui put down the cleaver, turned around, and explained to him:

"Guang Ke is still sleeping in your guest room. I figured since you two drank so much, you'd definitely have a headache when you woke up, so I took the liberty of cooking porridge here."

Shen Yan was stunned.

He stood still for a few seconds before asking, "How... how did you know both of us were drunk?"

Liu Hui smiled and recounted the events of the previous night.

The night before, the two of them got more and more muddled as they drank.

To prevent them from passing out on the street, Chen Guangke sent Liu Hui a text message, asking her to call someone to help carry them home.

It turned out Chen Guangke's text message was very prescient.

By the time Liu Hui arrived, the two men were completely unconscious from drunkenness.

"Then I hailed a cab and asked the driver to help me carry you two up. That's how it happened."

After listening, Shen Yan lowered his head slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. I always trouble you like this. I didn't expect him to ask you to come help. Next time, I will definitely tell him not to bother you so much..."

Liu Hui's face instantly turned pale.

She pursed her lips and questioned Shen Yan directly, "Do you dislike me that much?"

Shen Yan was startled, not understanding what Liu Hui meant.

"Of course I don't dislike you! I'm grateful to you for coming to help!"

Liu Hui took a deep breath, walked up to Shen Yan, and looked at him with determined eyes, asking, "Then since you don't dislike me, why have you pushed me away time and time again?"
