Sick Child

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Purple Jade Villa was built along an ancient mountain and occupied half of it. Behind the villa was an undeveloped and dangerous peak. The mountain was steep and difficult to escape from. 

Building structures on this natural mountain was not an easy task. Just by looking at the terrain, one could tell how much effort the owner had put in. 

Looking at the building itself, there was luxury hidden in the simplicity. Every stone and tree were naturally interesting. Every step and scene showed the owner's extraordinary taste. 

At this moment, on the third floor of the villa, a group of people stood as if they were facing a great enemy. In a room that had been transformed into the most advanced ward, many famous doctors were gathered together. 

In the middle of the room, on the hospital bed, a four or five-year-old boy had his eyes closed. His lips were pale, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was pale. It was as if he was experiencing the most terrifying nightmare in the world. 

"Mommy..." the little boy muttered. It was as if he had dreamt of something interesting. His brows relaxed for a rare moment, and then he coughed painfully. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. 

"Qin Geng!" A middle-aged butler staggered as he knelt beside the hospital bed. His eyes were filled with tears. He called the little boy a few times in a low voice, but the little boy did not respond. 

"Doctor Xu!" The middle-aged butler stood up. His face was no longer solemn, but extremely dignified. 

He looked at the doctor in the lead. "You are known as the saint of China. What can we do about Qin Geng's illness? Please think of something!" 

"Uncle Liu!" Doctor Xu answered with trepidation, "My team and I are not 100% sure about young master Qin's illness. He was born prematurely with a congenital defect. The surgery is too much for his body. We really can't take such a risk. Moreover, he has such a rare genetic disease. I really can't do anything about it. I'm afraid we can only ask Dr. Celeste to take a look!" 

"Useless!" Uncle Liu was angry. He knew that Dr. Xu was not a person who was fishing for fame. Ever since Qin Geng was born, the Qin family had hired all the best doctors. All they could do was to keep him alive. They had never found a way to cure him. 

However, he had watched this child grow up from a small, thin, newborn. He really could not blame others. 

"Uncle Liu—" a weak voice came from the hospital bed. 

It was Qin Geng who had woken up. "Am I going to die? Uncle Liu, don't be sad, and don't blame the doctor. It's all because of my poor health that I've caused trouble for you. I just, I just want to see my mother. Uncle Liu, I've never seen my mother before. I miss my mother..." the little boy sobbed softly. Uncle Liu's heart was about to break into pieces. 

"Qin Geng, it won't happen. You won't die. Someone has gone to get Dr. Celeste for you. Dr. Celeste is a godly doctor. He will definitely be able to cure your illness..." Uncle Liu hugged the little boy and spoke, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. 

The Qin family was wealthy, but their children had never been prosperous. In Qin Yang's generation, the only child left in the main family was Qin Yang. 

Five years ago, on a rainy night, Qin Yang brought back Qin Geng, but he did not reveal anything about the child's mother. He only said that the child's mother died due to childbirth. 

The topic of the child's mother was a taboo in the Qin family. No one could easily mention it. Every time someone mentioned the child's mother without realizing, Qin Yang would fly into a rage. 

Only the poor child on the hospital bed could talk about her. Although he had never met his mother, he had a natural yearning and love for his mother. 

He always fantasized about what his mother would be like. Once, when his health improved, he even secretly ran out to look for his mother. After he was found, Qin Yang punished all the people who were supposed to look after him! 

Qin Geng was born with difficulty. His mother's body was weak, and he too, was born with a weak body and was sick. 

When he was two years old, he was diagnosed with an incurable disease. The child was now five years old, but his body had always been thin and small. He had not improved much after searching for medicine for many years. 

Qin Geng had been living in Purple Jade Villa since he was born. Very few people had seen him, let alone know about his physical condition. 

In order to prevent the various branches of the Qin family from having any thoughts that they should not have; they had always claimed that the one who was sick was Old Master Qin. 

They had used this method of camouflage for so many years, but they did not know how long they could hide it. 

Uncle Liu secretly prayed in his heart that God would bless Qin Geng to survive this time! 

This year, there was hope for Qin Geng's illness. There was an international doctor, Dr. Celeste, who rose to fame that they wanted to contact. His medical skills were superb, and no one had ever heard of him before. 

However, he was too mysterious. Qin Yang had to expend a lot of effort to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Celeste— his assistant, Claud, was coming to China. 

As everyone knew, Claud could represent Dr. Celeste. Claud's whereabouts had always been difficult to find even with a lot of money. 

As soon as he found out his whereabouts, Qin Yang paused all his duties and rushed back immediately. However, Qin Geng's illness had worsened again. 

They needed Dr. Celeste. 

Uncle Liu looked at the child who had fallen into a coma again on the hospital bed. He flicked his sleeves and stood up to instruct, "Get ready, the motorcade is coming back." 

At the same time, the Maybach motorcade slowly drove into Purple Jade Villa.
