Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400: Dangerous Attempt
Ji Mo smiled contentedly, "No, I’m just happy for you. At last, you’ve decided to step out of your inner demons. That’s a good thing. That couple is indeed a pair of fascinating individuals."
One refuses to give up, the other insists on protecting to the very end.
They are people willing to risk their lives, yet embody the most moving and profound love.
Little Dr. K tilted his head to look at the couple, their intertwined hands, his gaze slightly softening.
Even the coldest individuals can’t help but be moved by such deep affection.
...
Ji Mo left. Ye Lu waited outside the room while Little Dr. K conducted an examination on the Third Young Master. Ye Lu contacted Yan Su. After all, she didn’t understand medicine, but Yan Su was more knowledgeable about the Third Young Master’s condition.
She connected with Yan Su over the phone and had him explain the onset of the Third Young Master’s illness, its cause, and various details to Little Dr. K.
When Little Dr. K heard that Yan Su’s mentor in Europe was Professor Slonan, who was tirelessly leading a team of elite researchers in a laboratory to develop medication for the Third Young Master, his eyes lit up with surprise.
Professor Slonan was someone he had heard of—a highly seasoned authority in bacteriology, truly formidable. Yet even someone of his caliber had spent several months and still hadn’t succeeded in developing the medication.
Lowering his gaze to the Third Young Master’s sickly, pale face, a faint frown appeared on his brow.
It seemed the illness afflicting the Third Young Master was no ordinary ailment; it was extremely challenging.
"Help me quickly get in touch with Professor Slonan. I need all his analytical data on the Third Young Master’s condition. That way, we can better diagnose the illness in a short amount of time."
Little Dr. K adjusted his glasses, gazing at the Third Young Master, who looked like he didn’t have much time left.
"There’s too little time to conduct more detailed research. You have to be mentally prepared. Even if we come up with a way to treat him, it will likely be an incredibly risky attempt. To put it bluntly, he’ll only be a guinea pig for testing. If lucky, he might pull through; if unlucky, it could make things even worse."
Ye Lu’s face turned pale, her heart tightened, and her palms hurt from clenching them too hard.
She lowered her gaze to the Third Young Master, her heart aching to the point of breaking. Even though she had found Little Dr. K, all she had gained was a sliver of hope—not a guarantee that everything would be successful.
Her trembling fingertips brushed his cold and sickly face, and she leaned down to kiss his lips gently.
"I know, but it’s still hope, isn’t it? Even if it’s a one-in-a-million chance, we can’t give up."
"Alright, the treatment can’t start now anyway. Go rest." Little Dr. K glanced at her belly, his frown deepening. "You’re close to your due date, aren’t you? If you want him to recover and be able to care for him in the future, you need to take care of yourself first. Don’t let him get better only for you to collapse; that would just make things worse."
Although Ye Lu didn’t want to leave, she thought about Little Dr. K’s words and knew he was right.
The Third Young Master had already fallen ill, needing her care. There were also four children and the company, which required her hands-on attention. She was carrying a heavy burden at the moment, so she couldn’t afford to let herself fall apart.
She left to rest.
Ye Yuan was waiting for her at the door, watching her with worried eyes.
Ye Lu gently touched his head with affection. The child had been silently waiting for her for several hours, but she had been so focused on the Third Young Master that she forgot his existence.
"Mommy, you should go back. I’ll stay and take care of him," Ye Yuan said in a mature tone.
Ye Lu scolded him lightly, "You’re just a child; why would you stay up all night? It’s not good for your health."
"I know you’re very worried about him and want to stay, but with the baby in your belly, you can’t stay up late or exhaust yourself. Let me do it instead. I’ve matured now. I can take on some responsibilities and take good care of you both," Ye Yuan said firmly, his tone calm yet resolute.
