Chapter 146: Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

After the scene was finished, Shen Li returned to the lounge accompanied by Xiaoyun.

Apan was on the phone: "Okay, no problem, I will tell her..."

After hanging up, Shen Li cast an inquiring look at him: "Sister Kuan?"

Apan nodded and said: "Sister Kuan said there is an 'A+ level' project on a platform looking for you. It's a 'youth campus' drama. The production team said the confirmed male lead is Song Anyu, and it was he who recommended you to play the female lead."

"It just so happens we have some heat online recently, and we've hit a few hot searches, plus there are CP fans. The production team feels that if you two collaborate again, there will be natural traffic, so they approached Sister Kuan. Sister Kuan wants to ask your opinion."

Shen Li was surprised upon hearing this: "Song Anyu recommended me?"

Apan nodded: "That's what the production team told Sister Kuan."

Xiaoyun looked at Shen Li with some worry: "Ali, I still feel lingering fear when I think about what happened last time. Why don't we forget it..."

"Is there a script?" Shen Li asked.

"Yes, Sister Kuan sent it over. I'll print it out for you in a while," Apan said.

Shen Li nodded. She wasn't very resistant to this matter; she only looked at the script when acting. If she was interested in the character, she would take the role.

It was just surprising that Song Anyu would take the initiative to recommend her for a role. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel that perhaps it was because of what happened last time, and he might be feeling guilty, which led to such an action.

If it was a good role, she would thank him.

The next day, Shen Ci got up early.

"Why are you up so early too? Do you have class?"

Pili happened to run into Shen Ci washing up after her morning exercise and couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

Gu Lianxing was still fast asleep under the covers.

"I'm going to the hospital to see our counselor."

"That's perfect, I'll go with you. I happen to have nothing to do and can go see my master's wife."

Shen Ci was stunned upon hearing this: "The same hospital?"

Pili nodded with a smile.

So the two of them tidied up and left the dormitory together, not calling Gu Lianxing, who was sleeping soundly.

Arriving at the ward, the department head had left the previous night. At this time, there was only an emaciated but cleanly dressed old lady in front of Li Dao's hospital bed.

Li Dao's wife was not to be seen.

"Li Dao!" Shen Ci called out directly after entering the door.

Li Jianguo had already woken up. Seeing Shen Ci arrive, he quickly greeted her with a smile: "Oh, Shen Ci, why did you run over so early?"

Shen Ci said: "I woke up early and thought I'd buy you some breakfast and bring it over."

In truth, she didn't trust Li Dao's unreliable wife and was afraid there would be no one to take care of Li Dao at his bedside, which was why she came so early. But Shen Ci naturally couldn't say that.

Seeing the old lady there, Shen Ci didn't know if she was Li Dao's mother or mother-in-law, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello, Grandma, I am Teacher Li's student."

"Mom, this is Shen Ci. I fainted suddenly yesterday, and it was thanks to her happening to be nearby that she sent me to the hospital," Li Jianguo quickly introduced her to his mother.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu excitedly held Shen Ci's hand: "Oh, little girl, thank you so much."

Seeing her genuine look of gratitude, Shen Ci guessed with high probability that she was Li Dao's mother.

"You're welcome, Grandma, it's only right."

As Shen Ci said this, she put down the breakfast she had bought and asked: "Did the doctor say you can eat? I bought steamed buns, porridge, and eggs. Would you like to have a little?"

Li Jianguo nodded with eyes full of relief: "Okay, sorry to trouble you, Shen Ci."

"Li Dao, don't be so polite with me," Shen Ci said while opening the breakfast: "Since I started university, I have always been taken care of by you. Now that you are sick, isn't it only right that I do something?"

"Are the results out? What exactly is the problem?" Shen Ci asked.

Li Jianguo shook his head: "Not yet. I'm also waiting for news, but I don't feel any discomfort in my body anymore. It should be fine."

Hearing him say this himself, Shen Ci felt much more at ease.

Until 9:30 in the morning, Li Dao's wife did not show up, and the doctor did not come either.

Li Mu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up: "Oh, why hasn't the doctor come yet? They should at least give a definite answer on whether he can be discharged. I'll go ask."

"Mom, don't bother. This hospital is huge, and you won't know where is where. You'll get lost again in a while," Li Jianguo called out to her, worried.

Seeing this, Shen Ci looked at the two and said: "Then I'll go. I'll feel at ease once I ask early."

Li Jianguo didn't stop her. After Shen Ci left the ward, Li Mu began to blame her son: "You say, is it appropriate for you to let a student do these things? It's quite a hassle."

Li Jianguo smiled and said: "It's okay, Mom. Shen Ci is a very good child."

The old lady sighed and sat back in the chair: "This Xiaolin hasn't shown her face even now. We aren't divorced yet, how can she be like this."

Suddenly mentioning Liu Xiaolin, the smile on Li Jianguo's face also disappeared, but he didn't say much, just lowered his eyelids desolately and fell into silence.

Doctor's office.

"Why are you asking again? Didn't the family member just come by?"

Upon hearing that Shen Ci was a family member of the patient Li Jianguo, the doctor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Shen Ci was stunned upon hearing this: "A family member came by?"

"Yes, his wife came by and just left," the doctor said, looking at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci nodded and subconsciously asked before leaving: "Then is he okay?"

The doctor's expression stalled, and he actually sighed. Shen Ci immediately became vigilant: "What's wrong, Doctor? Is there a problem?"

"Then I will say it again." The doctor's expression was exceptionally serious, which made Shen Ci's heart race and her scalp go numb.

"It is 'Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension'!"

Shen Ci's gaze froze: "What?"

She had never heard of this disease.

The doctor explained with a stern face: "This is a rare disease. It is a persistent increase in pulmonary artery pressure caused by an unexplained increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to abnormal indicators of pulmonary artery pressure at rest. The syncope caused by his severe pain yesterday was triggered by this."

Shen Ci couldn't understand the professional explanation that followed, but the words "rare disease" fell clearly into her ears.

How could he get a rare disease?

Diseases called rare diseases are almost all incurable. Shen Ci froze, her hands and feet cold, her eyes sore.

She asked cautiously: "Then, Doctor, is there a possibility of a cure?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment and said: "Currently, this disease is mainly treated with medication internationally. Foreign 'targeted drugs' can control the condition well, but long-term use of medication still has certain damage to the body. If you want a cure, the only way is a 'lung transplant'."

"Then are there 'lung sources'?"

"We have to wait."

Shen Ci left the doctor's office in a daze, her head buzzing. She wanted to find a place to calm down first, but she didn't want to see Li Jianguo's lover on the phone inside through the glass outside the emergency exit door.

"Oh my, since he got this disease, the daughter will definitely be awarded to me. You take the son, how can I not take the daughter?"

"I want the house. So what if it's his pre-marital property? Doesn't raising a daughter cost money?"

"I know him. He loves Yuanyuan so much, he will definitely leave the house to Yuanyuan."

'Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension' is incurable in reality. Lung transplant is a late-stage treatment, but it only extends life.

The setting in the text only serves the plot. I hope everyone stays healthy.

Recently, some negative comments have really affected me. I am a bit of a glass heart, so my mentality has collapsed a bit. I will adjust slowly.
