281: give up

With a goal in mind, Qian Ziyong's mood immediately improved.

After getting out of bed, he rushed to the hospital at once; his mother was already there.

"Mom," Qian Ziyong said, stepping forward.

Chen Huilan's face was noticeably more haggard; she hadn't slept a wink all last night.

Qian Ziyong hugged his mother, his heart aching, "Mom, you should go rest. I'll watch over things here."

Chen Huilan shook her head, "No, you're busy with work. You go rest. I can watch over things here."

Qian Ziyong squatted down and said, "Mom, I've already hired two experienced nurses. They'll take good care of Dad."

Chen Huilan shook her head, "They are outsiders after all. I'll feel more at ease if I'm here."

Seeing this, Qian Ziyong said nothing more and stayed with his mother until the afternoon when his father was transferred from the ICU to the enhanced care ward.

Chen Jingfu had been busy helping out the whole time.

His father, Qian Xiuqi, had woken up, but his head was still muddled, and he fell asleep again after only a few words.

This was a private hospital room, and in addition to all the necessary facilities, it also had a small room.

Inside the small room, Chen Jingfu and Qian Ziyong sat facing each other.

Chen Jingfu said, "Ziyong, I asked the doctor, and the surgery was very successful. You don't need to worry too much."

Qian Ziyong nodded, "Brother Chen, thank you for everything during this time."

Chen Jingfu patted Qian Ziyong's shoulder, "Don't be so polite with me."

Qian Ziyong said, "There's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with, Brother."

Chen Jingfu said, "Just say whatever it is."

Qian Ziyong said, "I want to open a hospital, a private hospital."

Chen Jingfu was greatly alarmed, "Ziyong, you're not thinking of researching a cure for cancer, are you?"

Qian Ziyong nodded.

Chen Jingfu quickly tried to dissuade him, "Ziyong, I know you're feeling very down right now because of your father!"

"But don't be rash!"

"You have to understand, your father has cancer, it's a terminal illness!"

"Cancer is a problem that the whole world struggles to overcome. No matter how much money is invested, it's difficult to make progress."

"You have indeed made some money now, but to think you can research a miracle cure for cancer with that money is wishful thinking."

"You'll lose everything!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ziyong's eyes lit up.

It seemed that a hospital had great potential.

While researching cancer, it could also make him lose all his money.

Qian Ziyong asked, "Will opening a private hospital definitely result in a loss?"

Chen Jingfu shook his head, "No, that's not it. Opening a private hospital not only doesn't lose money, many hospitals even make money!"

"But the premise is not to develop in the direction of cancer!"

"You'd best develop in the direction of a specialized heart disease hospital, or a general hospital."

"Focusing on cancer won't just lose money, it will lose a lot, a lot of money!"

"Even if you invest all your current funds, it would be like throwing them into the sea. Besides hearing a few splashes, it won't have any effect."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ziyong became even more determined to open a private hospital.

Relying on his own research was a joke; he could only rely on the system.

Opening a hospital would definitely lose money, so when the system cycle ended, wouldn't he definitely be able to complete the system's task and certainly receive the system's reward?

He hoped the reward would include medicine to cure cancer!

"Brother Chen, please help me invite experts and professors. I have already decided to open a private hospital." Qian Ziyong was very firm.

Hearing this, Chen Jingfu was heartbroken. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Qian Ziyong simply wouldn't listen.

Seeing this, Chen Jingfu had no choice but to tell Chen Huilan about it.

As soon as Chen Huilan heard that Qian Ziyong wanted to open a private hospital, she quickly came in to persuade him.

"Ziyong, don't let your father's situation affect your career!"

"You can't open a hospital, absolutely not!"

"Your father getting cancer, this is fate. We can't save him, don't drag yourself into it!"

Qian Ziyong looked at Chen Huilan with determined eyes, "Mom, please believe me, I will definitely be able to save Dad!"

Seeing Qian Ziyong's persistent gaze, Chen Huilan sighed, "Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you. I originally planned to wait until your father was better to say it..."

Qian Ziyong saw Chen Huilan's serious expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He recalled the past and said in disbelief, "Mom, I'm not your biological child?"

Chen Jingfu, who was nearby, jumped in surprise.

No way?

Hmm... this was their family matter, it was better not to interfere.

Chen Jingfu quietly walked out and closed the door.

"What?" Chen Huilan looked at Qian Ziyong, "Of course you're my biological child."

Qian Ziyong said, "Mom, your expression was so serious, it scared me. I thought what you used to say about me being picked up from a trash can was true..."

Chen Huilan said speechlessly, "Those were all lies to trick you. I can't believe you actually believed them."

"What I wanted to say is, I've decided to abort this child."

As she spoke, Chen Huilan looked at her belly with reluctance.

"Absolutely not!" Qian Ziyong stood up, "Mom, you can't abort the child!"

"I still remember when I was little, you asked me if I wanted a younger brother or sister, and I said no, that I was fine on my own."

"You never brought it up again."

"I was ignorant back then, a bit selfish. I know that you actually wanted two children."

"But for my sake, you gave up having another one."

Qian Ziyong later realized that his mother probably didn't intentionally plan for a second pregnancy.

It was very likely an accidental pregnancy.

After all, it was very dangerous for an older mother.

Chen Huilan said, "But with your father like this, if the child is born without a father, I'm worried..."

Qian Ziyong interrupted, "Don't worry about all that nonsense!"

"Since the child has come to our family, it means they are destined to be with us."

"Besides, the child is already so big; aborting it would cause even more harm to your body!"

Qian Ziyong was very worried that if he couldn't save his father, then his mother would be very lonely at home alone.

Having a child with her would give her emotional support.

Hearing this, Chen Huilan nodded; she was also very reluctant to part with the child in her belly.

Chen Huilan said, "Since that's the case, we'll have this child."

"Don't worry about your father's situation or the child's situation!"

"Also, don't give us any more money!"

"If the child in my belly is a boy, then after I die, the money will be left to him. If he can achieve something like you, that would be best."

"If he doesn't have much ability, then he should just live an honest life!"

"If it's a girl, then we'll raise her lavishly. One hundred million is more than enough. Even if she doesn't marry well in the future, the remaining money will be enough for her to live on."

Chen Huilan continued, "Your money also comes with a lot of hard work. Doing things requires a lot of money. Use your money where it's most needed. You don't need to worry about us."

"Your father and I discussed it. If we have this child, then once the child is born, we'll travel around with your father, letting him enjoy the rest of his days happily, leaving no regrets."

As she spoke, Chen Huilan smiled, "We never imagined you could achieve so much. In this life, we are already content!"
