Chapter 994

Ever since he could earn money himself,

Chen Nanxing had kept telling his parents to take care of their health and stop working,

as Chen Nanxing could now send them money on schedule to support them.

However, although Chen Nanxing's parents agreed verbally, they continued working,

because they had bought a commercial apartment and still had a mortgage to pay each month; they could not slack off.

Originally,

the old couple had planned to work a few more years, paying off the mortgage while also saving up a dowry for Chen Nanxing,

but who would have known

that a sudden phone call from Xu Hongdou yanked the old couple straight out of their fantasy of doting on grandchildren and back into reality.

At that time, the old couple did not yet know exactly what illness Chen Nanxing had; they only knew it was very serious.

After they spent a nervous night on the train and arrived in the Imperial Capital,

the old couple finally learned that their daughter, whom they had held in the palm of their hands since childhood, was about to have her life taken by the Grim Reaper.

In that moment,

the old couple were completely panicked; they even knelt down and begged the department head for help.

However,

the department head stated clearly that the illness Chen Nanxing had was cancer among cancers, with absolutely no way to cure it.

Immediately after,

the hospital began urging the old couple to pay the hospitalization fees and medical expenses.

Even though Xu Hongdou had advanced more than ten thousand yuan in the early stage, it was spent within just a few days.

Trembling, the old couple gave the hospital more than twenty thousand yuan they had saved over many years, hoping only to let Chen Nanxing live a few more days.

But the news the old couple received grew worse day by day.

Later, fortunately, Qin Feng stepped in,

and only then was Chen Nanxing's life temporarily saved.

Yet,

even though Qin Feng secured a special care ward for Chen Nanxing and found imported special-effect medicine,

the hospital's routine treatment costs still amounted to several thousand yuan per day.

Watching the money in their card gradually dwindle, the old couple had no idea what to do.

Even if medical insurance could reimburse costs at this time,

you still had to pay the hospital first before considering the medical insurance issue.

With no other recourse,

the old couple had already started thinking about selling their house.

And just at that moment,

through an intermediary's introduction,

the groom's parents came forward and stated their purpose for the visit outright.

At that time,

Chen Nanxing's father flew into a rage and, on the spot, grabbed a kitchen knife and drove the groom's parents out.

But afterward,

the groom's father called again and asked a very direct question: "Old Chen, let's put everything else aside for now; I just want to ask, do you really intend to sell the house to raise treatment funds for your daughter? After the house is sold, where will you and your wife live?! After the money is spent, what else do you plan to sell?!"
