Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The doctor finished speaking and went back to the B-ultrasound room.

Wang Zhanggen was still lying on the examination table; seeing the doctor had been gone so long before returning, he hurriedly asked:

"Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

The doctor smiled:

"Nothing major. Wait for the examination report to come out, then you can look at the specific situation!"

Wang Zhanggen let out a long breath:

"As long as there's nothing major. This body of mine has always had constant minor ailments; I thought there was some big problem!"

Wang Zhanggen walked out of the B-ultrasound room, unable to help muttering a sentence:

"This physical exam didn't find any ailments at all — isn't that equivalent to wasting money for nothing?"

Next they did several other physical exam items.

After they were done,

Wang Erhai said to Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:

"Dad, Mom, the exam report won't come out that fast. How about I take you back to the hometown first?"

Li Xiulan detected a trace of something off on Wang Erhai's face and asked:

"Erhai, is there nothing wrong with my and your dad's bodies?"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Should be nothing, but we still have to wait for the physical exam report to come out. Rest assured, once the report is out I can check it on my mobile phone, and I'll tell you at the first moment!"

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"I thought you brat were going to make us take the bus back by ourselves again. Count you as still having a bit of conscience!"

Wang Erhai drove the car, carrying Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan back.

They ate a lunch in Shangou Village, then hurriedly rushed back to the County Town.

Back in the County Town, Zhang Yueran hurriedly asked him:

"What did that B-ultrasound room doctor say to you this morning?"

Zhang Yueran already faintly sensed something was not right.

Wang Erhai plopped down on the sofa, his whole person like he'd had his soul sucked out; only now did he tell the truth:

"The doctor said my dad might have liver cancer."

Zhang Yueran was stunned, very surprised.

She fell silent for a while, then said:

"This is a big thing. Why not tell your Big Brother and Third Brother? This illness can't be delayed; as for how to treat it later, you three brothers can discuss it together."

Wang Erhai nodded.

He couldn't help feeling some regret:

"Actually my dad was found to have Hepatitis B long ago. Back then he should have been taken for Hepatitis B treatment."

Zhang Yueran came over and lightly stroked his back, comforting:

"This can't all be blamed on you. It's all fate. Don't blame yourself too much."

Then she hurriedly added:

"Right, you also had a liver function exam this morning, didn't you? Wait for the report to come out and see how it is. If you also got Hepatitis B, then we'll treat it — must actively face it. Absolutely can't follow your dad's old path."

Wang Erhai looked up at Zhang Yueran:

"If I have Hepatitis B, will you dislike me?"

Zhang Yueran said without hesitation:

"How could I? I've had the Hepatitis B vaccine. Even if you have Hepatitis B, it can't infect me."

Then she hurriedly comforted:

"Don't think so much nonsense!"

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Mm, okay."

This afternoon, he kept checking the physical exam results on his mobile phone Official Account, refreshed countless times, until after three in the afternoon the results finally came out.

He looked at his own exam results first.

Found the Hepatitis B Five Items all negative — he didn't have Hepatitis B, yet also had no antibodies.

Wang Erhai let out a huge breath of relief.

Zhang Yueran said to him:

"You have no Hepatitis B antibodies, so you must hurry and get the Hepatitis B vaccine. Now Hepatitis B vaccines are all free!"

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Okay okay, I'll go tomorrow!"

Then he checked his dad and mom's physical exam reports.

His dad's liver function was already clearly abnormal; liver function five items, blood routine, and all sorts of values were high to an outrageous degree — estimated to be liver cancer without a doubt!

His mom's physical exam report, on the contrary, was very good; basically hardly any items were abnormal.

Wang Erhai created a group on WeChat and added his eldest brother Wang Dashan and third brother Wang Xiaohua to it.

Then he posted Wang Zhanggen's physical examination report and started a group video call.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, you've both looked at Dad's physical examination report, right?"

"I've looked, so many abnormal values, what's going on?" Wang Dashan couldn't quite understand the conclusion on the physical examination report.

Because physical examination reports don't explicitly write terms like "liver cancer"; cancer is generally represented by nodules or Ca, followed by various classified academic names.

For example, on Wang Zhanggen's B-ultrasound examination form, it read "Liver: detected high-echo nodule measuring 2.54×2.33cm."

Wang Erhai said:

"The doctor said it might be liver cancer."

Wang Xiaohua's expression was heavy as he spoke:

"I just quickly looked up the various indicators for diagnosing liver cancer online. Dad's bilirubin is abnormally elevated, albumin is low, alpha-fetoprotein is elevated, and all kinds of transaminases are ridiculously high. Combined with his ultrasound examination report, it's probably really liver cancer, and probably quite severe."

Wang Dashan froze:

"Quite severe, what does that mean?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"It might already be middle to late stage."

Wang Dashan was stunned for a good while before asking:

"Then what do we do?"

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh:

"I don't know what to do either, that's why I'm discussing it with you guys."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Second Brother, you take Dad to Guangzhou first for further examination. Once more precise results come out, we'll see how to handle it."

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai both nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaohua asked again:

"Right, you haven't let Dad know about this, have you?"

Wang Erhai said:

"I haven't told him yet, and Mom hasn't said anything either."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Then it's best not to tell them. Just afraid Dad can't take the blow and it'll cause his condition to deteriorate rapidly."

Wang Erhai asked:

"Don't tell Mom either?"

"Don't tell her either. If Mom knows, she'll probably wear it on her face, and then it'll be hard to keep it from Dad."

Wang Dashan spoke up at this point:

"Second Brother, bring Dad down tomorrow. I'll take him to a nearby third-class hospital tomorrow."

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"Big Brother, why don't you book an appointment online first? Expert appointments are probably hard to get. Once you get one, then have Second Brother bring Dad down — not too late."

Wang Dashan said:

"Alright then."

Wang Xiaohua added:

"We'd better prepare ourselves psychologically."

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"I'll do everything I can to find Dad the best doctor for treatment. Money is no object."

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"Money is one aspect; the other is that liver cancer is hard to treat. If it's late stage, the survival period might only be about half a year."

Wang Xiaohua was looking up information while talking to his two older brothers.

His mind was also a bit chaotic right now.

His own father suddenly diagnosed with liver cancer — this was clearly something he hadn't anticipated before.

But thinking back carefully now, Wang Zhanggen's illness didn't come without any signs at all.

His temper became increasingly irritable, his complexion increasingly poor — those were actually signs.

It's just a pity no one noticed at the time.

Hearing this, Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai's moods both turned heavy.

But they also knew Wang Xiaohua was telling the truth.

Many in the rural area get liver cancer. Liang Yuanchao before, and later Liu Xiaoli — both passed away from liver cancer.
