Chapter 381: Chapter 380 Hope

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?” Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then immediately said: ”In a nutshell, doesn’t this condition represent a problem with the muscles? Regarding this condition, the Recovery Potion can definitely be used for treatment, why?”

Major General Xiang Dong heard Jiang Cheng’s affirmative answer and did not respond.

He looked at Leader No. 2 beside him, an enigmatic expression on his face.

At this moment, on Major General Xiang Dong’s side, the call with Jiang Cheng was on speaker phone so everyone next to him could hear.

And at this time, the only person beside him was Leader No. 2.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s affirmative response, Leader No. 2 actually shed tears, extremely delighted, his hands were shaking.

Major General Xiang Dong saw Leader No. 2’s expression and also sighed repeatedly and said to Jiang Cheng: ”Jiang Cheng, to be honest, Leader No. 2 is right next to me, it’s better to let him personally tell you the specific situation.”

Leader No. 2?

Has a matter to discuss with me?

Jiang Cheng was somewhat puzzled since in his visits to the Imperial Capital, he had only met Leader No. 1 and Leader No. 3, and even if there were significant matters concerning the country and him, one of those two would communicate it directly, why would it be Leader No. 2?

As if understanding Jiang Cheng’s confusion, Major General Xiang Dong said: ”That’s how it is, Jiang Cheng my brother, Leader No. 2’s son, is the one afflicted with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a young man with a bright future, stricken by this disease, represents what, you should know, right?”

”Yes.” Jiang Cheng heard Major General Xiang Dong’s words and more or less understood his meaning, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease, is among the five major medical conditions, alongside cancer, leukemia, and AIDS, causing the muscles in the limbs, trunk, abdomen, chest, etc., to gradually weaken and atrophy, eventually preventing the body from functioning normally.

Should humans suffer from this condition, it would significantly impact life; before Jiang Cheng introduced the Recovery Potion, given current medical progress, it was considered incurable.

Alright, let Leader No. 2 speak with you personally, it’s better for you two to talk about the specifics.” After Major General Xiang Dong said this, he handed the phone to Leader No. 2.

After Leader No. 2 took the phone, his hands could not help but tremble continuously, unsure what expression was on his face, placed in high positions he truly had never been this unable to control his emotions before.

Leader No. 2, describe your son’s situation then.” Jiang Cheng said over the phone.

”Yes.” Leader No. 2 took a deep breath, then said to Jiang Cheng: ”My son is now twenty-eight years old, due to this strange disease, he currently needs care for daily living.”

On the phone, Leader No. 2 explained the entire situation concerning his son to Jiang Cheng.

In fact, hearing the news that the Recovery Potion could treat his son’s condition caused him too much shock; even now he still finds it hard to believe it’s all real.

Could his son’s condition really be cured?

He could never forget the moment his son, after feeling unwell, went for a hospital check-up and learned he was suffering from a nearly incurable strange disease, that expression of despair.

His son, academically excellent, with a good character, got admitted to Huaqing University, was about to embrace a wonderful life, yet at that moment contracted this disease.

Leader No. 2 himself was originally not very knowledgeable about the condition, but when hearing the doctor say his son’s strange disease was the same affliction that prevented Hawking from moving normally, he was struck as though hit by a thunderbolt.

He couldn’t forget that time when he went to the hospital to visit his son only to learn such a result.

Any father would certainly wish for their child to succeed; his son was his pride, in his eyes, although his son’s future achievements might not necessarily surpass his own, they would certainly be a societal elite, with a promising future.

But, all this was destroyed by that piece of diagnosis notification.

Because of motor neuron disease, his son’s bright future was all gone, and now the number of movable parts in his body were few, and contracting this disease also meant his son might die within a few years, which understandably made Leader No. 2 feel heart-wrenching pain whenever he thought about it.

However, things might be different now.

His son’s disease could potentially be treated.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s speech at the press conference, Leader No. 2 was so excited he could not sleep all night.

At the press conference’s reporter Q&A session, Jiang Cheng explained the function of the Genetic Recovery Potion, and in Jiang Cheng’s original words the Recovery Potion could treat the five major difficult medical conditions of modern medicine, if Leader No. 2 remembered correctly, motor neuron disease is among the five major conditions.

As long as what Jiang Cheng said is true, his son’s illness can be cured, making Leader No. 2 feel extremely excited, hearing Jiang Cheng say it personally felt as though the world had become bright!

After contracting motor neuron disease, his son found even the most basic movement difficult, and from a certain point, Leader No. 2 had seen numerous times his son looking out the window at those normal people exercising with longing in his eyes!

That look of longing for normal activities made this father, Leader No. 2, always feel as though his heart was gripped painfully whenever he thought about it, so agonizing!

He longed so much for his son’s condition to be cured.

But, even though he is Leader No. 2, even though he can contact the world’s top medical professors, neurologists, he cannot enable treatment for his son’s condition!

Until the emergence of the Recovery Potion!

His hand holding the phone trembled because he feared it was a dream, or perhaps Jiang Cheng’s words were false, and the Genetic Potion did not have such powerful functions as he claimed, unable to treat motor neuron disease!

Jiang Cheng, after hearing Leader No. 2’s narrative, calmly smiled and said: ”Leader No. 2, your son’s condition can certainly be cured by the Genetic Recovery Potion, estimated to be treated after a month of injection.”

After listening to Leader No. 2’s account of his son’s situation, Jiang Cheng naturally recognized whether the Recovery Potion could successfully treat his son’s condition, as motor neuron disease is not unfamiliar to many, considering the renowned Hawking suffered from it too, leading muscles to atrophy thereafter causing the body to be unable to function normally.
