Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1066: Incurable

Old Meng had also been persevering just now.

Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Because she couldn’t be sure if Spiritual Spring Water would have any effect.

Spiritual Spring Water could heal wounds, strengthen the body, and treat common ailments and even accelerate wound healing, but a brain tumor was different.

For wounds that only needed to stop bleeding to improve, Spiritual Spring Water could be effective.

But if it was a fatal injury, like a severed artery, she believed that even the magical Spiritual Spring Water would be useless.

Brain tumors were the same.

Having developed an abnormal growth, could drinking Spiritual Spring Water make it shrink or even disappear?

It seemed highly unlikely.

Although Meng Chaojun had clearly felt better before, that was just the pain-relieving and body-strengthening effects of the Spiritual Spring Water; the brain tumor was surely still there.

It was unpredictable when it might reoccur.

Indeed, she could help him alleviate the pain when it flared up, but if it had no therapeutic effect on the brain tumor, she still wouldn’t be able to save his life in the end.

”Did the doctor mention what stage it’s at? If it’s early, there might be a better chance with surgery.....”

What does ”a better chance with surgery” even mean.....

Chiang Xiao felt that she really didn’t know how to speak, nor how to comfort others.

But that was the truth.

”Yes, the doctor said it was fortunate it was discovered early!” Old Meng looked at Chiang Xiao, his lips trembling slightly, ”Little, if it weren’t for your insistence on going to the hospital, who knows what the consequences might have been! Chao Jun himself had no idea, he always thought it was just because of his recent heavy duties and the unsuccessful work developments, overthinking and poor rest causing this.”

It was really thanks to Chiang Xiao!

It was her who noticed that Meng Chaojun’s complexion was off and insisted on going to the hospital.

Otherwise, who knows how long it would have been dragged out.

”That woman Duan Qingqing just doesn’t care about him at all! I see her talk about giving massages? That’s just for show, how much strength did she actually use, and then she just waits for praise, waiting for Chao Jun to coax her instead,” Old Meng said more and more regretfully.

”Back then, when Chao Jun wanted to marry that woman, I should have firmly opposed it, better to have Chao Jun resent me than to ruin him like this!”

It was a regret that had come too late!

Chiang Xiao remained silent.

In matters like this, there was no right way for her to interject.

”Sigh!” Old Meng sighed deeply again, ”Now I’m also out of strength. We’ll have to wait for Xinian to come back.”

Chiang Xiao said, ”Brother Xinian probably won’t arrive until very late.”

He received the call at dawn and would likely take the earliest train this morning, approximately a day and a night’s journey.

At this moment, they still didn’t know that Meng Xinian had already traveled thousands of miles away on duty.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Duan Qingqing had just learned about Meng Chaojun’s condition.

And it was Meng Chaojun himself who told her.

In their family, they would speak plainly about such matters, such as this illness; Old Meng would not keep it from Meng Chaojun, and had told him directly.

After learning about it, Meng Chaojun also tried to maintain an appearance of calm and composure.

Especially in front of Old Meng, he wouldn’t let his father see him lose control.

But now, facing his wife, he really wanted to tell her, to receive her gentle comfort, warm soothing, and to feel the supportive strength that would make him feel he wasn’t alone.

However, Duan Qingqing, upon hearing his words, stood up abruptly, staring at him in shock, her voice somewhat uncontrollable and shrill.

”What did you say? A brain tumor?”

She cried out in disbelief: ”Isn’t that incurable?”
