Ji Xiaoli was stuck in the hospital and couldn't go shopping. Lying in bed, she stared blankly at her system.
Time was running out, but she had hardly spent any money to exchange for good - luck points.
"What should I do..."
She sighed. It seemed there was no way out for the moment.
If only her body were a bit better, Ji Xiaoli would have jumped out of bed already.
But unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to go shopping. She could only stare at the ceiling, not knowing what to do.
Just then, the system suddenly beeped.
[Player, don't worry. This is a system error. This week's task can be postponed.]
Although the voice was extremely monotonous, Ji Xiaoli could still detect a hint of concern for her.
She never expected the system to be so considerate as to postpone the task.
Although it was indeed the system's fault, Ji Xiaoli was still quite happy.
"That's great. It seems I can worry less."
Ji Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the ceiling of the room now, even the ceiling lamp seemed more pleasant.
The easy - going days always made Ji Xiaoli feel that life was getting better.
At this moment, she was eating the apple she had just peeled, and the air - conditioning felt even more comfortable.
Maybe the news that Ji Xiaoli was ill spread to her family quickly. After hearing it, Wei Yanlan was extremely worried.
Ji Xiaoli had never been hospitalized like this since she was a child, so Wei Yanlan immediately came to the hospital with big and small bags.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm doing fine in the hospital. You don't need to take care of me."
Ji Xiaoli looked at Wei Yanlan's appearance and couldn't help laughing and crying.
Was she planning to take care of her here for the next period of time?
"Mom, I'm really okay. You should rest at home. You don't need to take care of me."
To be honest, although Ji Xiaoli was very happy that Wei Yanlan came to take care of her, on the other hand, she was worried that Wei Yanlan would get tired.
Caught in this contradiction, Ji Xiaoli still wanted Wei Yanlan to go back and rest.
But even so, Wei Yanlan insisted on staying.
No matter how much Ji Xiaoli tried to persuade her, she wouldn't budge, so Ji Xiaoli had no choice but to let her stay.
However, with Wei Yanlan around, Ji Xiaoli felt that her days of recuperating from illness had improved a lot.
Seeing that her regular three - meals a day had been replaced by chicken soup, Ji Xiaoli took a sip and felt extremely happy.
"This tastes so good!"
The taste of this chicken soup was exactly the same as the one Wei Yanlan had cooked for her in her memory.
Ji Xiaoli wished she could drink this delicious soup every day.
Wei Yanlan on the side smiled.
"I knew you'd like it. When you were a kid and got hurt, you also liked me to cook chicken soup for you. Drink it quickly."
Ji Xiaoli also smiled and drank it down. After finishing a whole bowl of chicken soup, not only was her body warm, but her heart was also warm.
Just then, Wei Yanlan, who was about to take the thermos to wash, suddenly fainted on the ground.
Ji Xiaoli couldn't believe that Wei Yanlan, who had been chatting and laughing with her just now, would suddenly faint.
Fortunately, Ji Xiaoli reacted quickly and immediately pressed the emergency button in the hospital.
Ji Xiaoli's ward was a VIP ward, and the service was impeccable.
The nurse who heard the ringtone thought something had happened to Ji Xiaoli and rushed over immediately, only to see Wei Yanlan lying on the ground.
Fortunately, all the doctors and nurses in the hospital were highly professional and didn't show any surprise when they saw this.
"Patient, don't worry. We'll take good care of your mother."
Saying this, the nurses immediately carried Wei Yanlan onto a stretcher and rushed her into the emergency room.
Ji Xiaoli couldn't get out of bed, and she was getting more and more anxious.
What on earth was going on? Wei Yanlan had been fine just now. Why did she suddenly faint?
On the other side, the doctor had already started to rescue her desperately. After a while, Wei Yanlan slowly woke up.
"What happened..."
Wei Yanlan rubbed her head, seemingly unable to remember what had happened.
After a series of examinations, the doctor's face wasn't looking good.
"Mrs. Wei, have you had a physical examination before?"
The serious doctor made Wei Yanlan a little nervous, but she immediately shook her head.
"It seems I haven't had a physical examination for a long time. Is there something wrong with my body?"
The inexplicable fainting made Wei Yanlan a bit nervous herself.
She really wanted to know what was going on.
The doctor soon gave the examination report to Wei Yanlan.
"Your body is now in the middle - to - late stage of cancer. It's not very easy to treat, and the cancer has already started to spread..."
Wei Yanlan couldn't bear to listen to the rest. Her face turned pale. She never expected her body to be in such a bad condition.
She had occasionally felt tired, but she never thought it was cancer.
After a moment, Wei Yanlan finally came to her senses.
"Is this disease easy to treat? I heard that some cancers can be treated well."
A glimmer of hope flashed through Wei Yanlan's heart. Maybe her condition wasn't that complicated.
But unexpectedly, the doctor shook his head.
Although he was a doctor, he wasn't very optimistic.
"If it was in the early stage, your disease could still be treated, but now the cancer cells have started to spread. It may not be so easy to treat."
As an educated person, Wei Yanlan naturally knew that when the cancer cells started to spread, it was basically in the terminal stage.
She trembled so much that she almost fainted.
She had thought she still had a long time, but now it seemed to be shortened.
The doctor also felt a bit sorry for her.
In the past two days, Wei Yanlan had taken meticulous care of Ji Xiaoli, which made the doctor envy this mother - daughter pair.
But now Wei Yanlan was also going to be hospitalized.
"If you can cooperate with the hospital's treatment, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
The doctor said this in a somewhat consoling tone, but even he didn't believe his own words.
"Please don't tell my daughter about this..."
Although the doctor didn't understand why every cancer patient would say this, he still agreed.
On the other side, Ji Xiaoli had already heard the news from her system.
"Is what you said true?"
The system sent her a positive reply.
When the doctor detected Wei Yanlan's condition, the system had also learned the news and sent it directly to Ji Xiaoli.
Even if Wei Yanlan wanted to hide it from Ji Xiaoli, Ji Xiaoli couldn't be kept in the dark.
This thunderbolt almost made Ji Xiaoli faint in bed again.
"There must be a way... How many good - luck points do I have left?"
Ji Xiaoli began to calculate. She had been doing tasks for so long, so she should have quite a few good - luck points. Maybe she could exchange them for Wei Yanlan's health.
But the system's next words made Ji Xiaoli's heart sink into an ice - cold river.
[Hello, player. The number of good - luck points you need to exchange for Wei Yanlan's health value is far from enough.]
