123: Chapter 123 The disease has reached its terminal stage; even Hua Tuo reborn could not save it!
Lin Mo spoke vaguely,
123: Chapter 123 The disease has reached its terminal stage; even Hua Tuo reborn could not save it!
Lin Mo spoke vaguely,
"President Liang, go and prepare quickly. Make sure everything is ready within an hour!"
Time was of the essence,
President Liang did not dare to hesitate,
And immediately went to prepare the items Lin Mo had requested.
"Chief Designer Lin, are you planning to try a secret Traditional Chinese Medicine formula?"
Xiang Guangming, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask.
Lin Mo nodded. "Just because Western medicine can't do it doesn't mean Traditional Chinese Medicine can't."
"But... sigh!"
Xiang Guangming wanted to say something,
But in the end, he didn't say it.
In truth, everyone knew what he wanted to say.
If it were an earlier stage of the illness, it might be fine,
But now Professor Ai Chongfeng was terminally ill and on his deathbed. Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he would be difficult to save!
Everyone sighed inwardly,
Believing that Lin Mo was making a futile effort.
To this,
Lin Mo didn't explain much.
Among the items he requested,
There was only one most important thing: the nutrient solution!
As for any secret formulas or moxibustion techniques,
They were merely excuses to cover his tracks.
A forbidden product like the Genetic Supplement
Was simply too shocking,
And he absolutely could not let anyone else know about it at this time.
...
Soon,
Twenty minutes passed,
And news came from the ward.
"The patient is awake!"
Everyone stepped forward,
Intending to enter the ward together,
But Chief Designer Bai Yannian spoke up.
He pointed to Professor Ai Chongfeng's six closest subordinates.
"Everyone else wait outside, only the few of us will go in!"
After the few of them entered the ward,
They immediately saw Professor Ai Chongfeng on the hospital bed.
Perhaps due to the painkillers,
Professor Ai Chongfeng's complexion looked much better now.
Seeing everyone come in,
He even managed a slight smile.
But everyone knew in their hearts
That this was just the final terminal lucidity...
Nine people came to the bedside,
Yet it didn't feel crowded at all.
Under President Liang's care,
And because Professor Ai Chongfeng's own rank and status were sufficient,
The inpatient department had arranged the largest single private ward.
It was a full 60 square meters, more than enough for nine people to stand.
"Mentor Ai, my mentor's wife wants to say a few words to you."
Lin Mo took out his Huachen phone
And started a video call with his mentor's wife.
"Chongfeng, you, *sob sob sob*!..."
Professor Ai Chongfeng's wife, Professor Fu Lihong, answered the call
And immediately burst into tears.
Just moments ago,
Professor Fu Lihong had learned the full situation from Lin Mo,
But she simply couldn't accept this reality.
Her husband had been perfectly fine,
How could he have suddenly reached such a state?
"Lihong, it's fine, this is just a minor illness."
Professor Ai Chongfeng even spoke up to try and comfort his wife.
But what he didn't know was
That out of everyone present,
He was the only one unaware
That he only had about three hours left to live.
"Chongfeng! Do you even know... *sob sob sob*!..."
Professor Fu Lihong wanted to tell Professor Ai Chongfeng the truth,
But she couldn't bring herself to say the words,
And could only keep on crying.
"What are you crying for? It's like I'm about to die or something. I'm tough as nails, how could I possibly die? *Cough, cough cough*!..."
Professor Ai Chongfeng feigned annoyance,
Intending to make a small joke to comfort his wife,
But before he could say much,
He couldn't help but cough violently several times,
Spitting a large mouthful of bright red bloody phlegm onto the pale bedding.
Professor Ai Chongfeng was stunned.
At this moment,
He seemed to understand something.
"Am I going to die?"
Professor Ai Chongfeng's mouth tasted of blood and bitterness.
Professor Fu Lihong was sobbing too hard
To reply.
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
Lin Mo was like a son to Professor Ai Chongfeng,
And he spoke up to explain the specific situation in full detail.
After finishing,
Lin Mo said softly,
"Mentor, it's okay. Just bear with it for a bit; I have a way to save you."
After all,
He still had to brew some traditional chinese medicine to keep up appearances,
So his mentor would have to suffer a bit more.
Hearing Lin Mo's words,
Professor Ai Chongfeng fell silent,
And Professor Fu Lihong on the other end of the video cried even harder.
In the entire ward,
Only the sound of bitter weeping coming from the phone remained.
The others looked on with pity and turned their heads away,
Unable to bear the scene before them.
A short while later,
Professor Ai Chongfeng composed himself,
Took a deep breath,
And looked at his wife in the video, forcing a faint smile.
"It's okay, Lihong. Everyone has to die sooner or later. Dying like this is a worthy death for me."
"Also, wife, do you know?"
Professor Ai Chongfeng paused,
A look of excitement appearing on his face.
"Just a short while ago, I witnessed history—the history of Huaxia!"
"This history was created by Xiao Mo, but I participated in it too! Haha, hahaha! *Cough cough*..."
Professor Ai Chongfeng became excited,
And was hit by another bout of uncontrollable coughing.
Professor Fu Lihong sobbed, "What time is it, and you're still talking about history... what does history have to do with you?"
Although Professor Ai Chongfeng was incredibly weak,
His face was still radiant with spirit.
"How does it not have anything to do with me?"
"From this day forth, my name shall be in the annals of Huaxia's history!"
"Believe it or not,"
"After I die, future generations will surely honor me as Lord Ai!"
Looking at her husband's haggard yet proud face,
Professor Fu Lihong couldn't help but stare blankly.
To this,
Everyone else also felt a surge of deep respect!
Professor Ai Chongfeng on the hospital bed
Was as thin as a skeleton,
But they all seemed to feel an indomitable strength radiating from him!
Afterward,
Professor Ai Chongfeng expressed his gratitude to Chief Designer Bai Yannian and the other colleagues,
And then chatted about idle matters
With Professor Fu Lihong and Lin Mo.
Though they were called idle matters,
He was actually settling his final affairs between the lines...
Although Lin Mo said several times that he had a way,
Professor Ai Chongfeng just smiled and let it pass,
Treating it as mere words of comfort.
Time slowly slipped away.
About half an hour had passed,
And as the effect of the painkiller injection gradually wore off,
Professor Ai Chongfeng's condition became increasingly poor,
And bean-sized beads of sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Professor Fu Lihong, who had originally managed to stabilize her emotions,
Started crying uncontrollably again, her emotions on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this scene,
Everyone's mood became even heavier.
Chief Designer Bai Yannian sighed inwardly;
Huaxia was about to lose a Pillar of the State...
Just then,
The ward door suddenly opened.
"General Lin, everything you requested has been prepared!"
Led by President Liang,
Several doctors pushed a cart,
Bringing all the items Lin Mo had previously requested into the ward.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Good!"
"Boil the medicine immediately, right there on the balcony!"
"High heat for thirty minutes, boil nine bowls of water down to three. I need a doctor to assist me."
"In addition, prepare the compound nutrient solution and human albumin for intravenous injection."
President Liang hesitated for a moment
And asked a question.
"20 liters of nutrient solution, 5 liters of albumin—do we need to prepare all of it?"
Lin Mo said indisputably,
"Yes, all of it!"
"Don't ask questions, just do it."
Hearing this,
President Liang said no more
And immediately arranged for the medical staff to take action.
Lin Mo also began to brew the medicine with a serious air.
Watching Lin Mo's busy figure,
The others felt a bit strange,
But no one said anything.
They could perfectly understand Lin Mo's feelings.
When things reached the final moment,
No matter how slim the hope, one would want to fight for it,
Otherwise, they would regret it for a lifetime!
It was just a pity that...
Once fate was decided,
Human effort could no longer change it.
