Qin Yongping took the medical examination reports from the major hospitals and began to carefully flip through them. Every line of text and every piece of data that caught his eye felt like a heavy hammer striking his heart. The documents clearly showed that the young woman was in the late stages of liver cancer! Moreover, multiple authoritative hospitals had reached the same conclusion: a complete cure was impossible, and even with successful surgical removal of the tumor, the patient's maximum remaining lifespan was likely only one to three years.
With a heavy heart, Qin Yongping closed the medical report and handed it back to the woman. Just at that moment, a steady and forceful set of footsteps echoed from outside—Elder Guo had returned. Qin Yongping hurriedly and respectfully called out, "Master!" At the same time, Guo Yufu sweetly called out, "Grandfather!" Upon seeing Elder Guo, the woman bowed respectfully toward him.
Seeing this, Elder Guo wore a kind and warm smile, nodding repeatedly to acknowledge the woman. As he looked closer, however, he noticed that the woman's beautiful and moving eyes were already brimming with crystal-clear tears, like two dazzling pearls about to roll down. This sight filled Elder Guo with pity, and he gently asked, "Xiaoyan, have you come here today for a follow-up checkup and to pick up your medicine?" His tone was laden with deep concern.
