On Tuesday morning, Xu Lai received all the results of Liu Sufang's medical examination. They showed that her body was suffering from various chronic ailments brought on by overwork over the years. Her lumbar spine condition was particularly severe, as it was already compressing a nerve. Conservative treatment could help manage the pain, but she would be unable to do heavy physical labor or bend over for long periods. However, her overall physical weakness was primarily caused by malnutrition.
This only deepened Xu Lai's confusion.
In his previous life, Liu Sufang was supposed to pass away next year. Yet judging by the current examination results, her lumbar issues were not actually difficult to treat. To ensure the utmost accuracy of these findings and various other details, he had even specially invited two veteran professors up from Beijing.
