Chapter 2806: The Last Chance

"Go to Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals?"

James Shi Misi asked subconsciously, then asked in surprise, "What are we going to Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals for?"

Hu Leqi said with a somewhat excited voice, "A friend helped Little Lan and me resolve the clinical trial spot for the Nine Mysteries Rebirth Pill. He seems to really have connections with the high-level management of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals. I asked him to give Little Jimmy a spot, and he agreed. We're rushing over there to connect with them now. You should hurry and bring Little Jimmy over too!"

James Shi Misi couldn't believe his ears. He asked suspiciously, "Weren't you two already rejected by them? Little Jimmy also doesn't meet their points criteria. What kind of background does your friend have? How does he have such great ability?"

Hu Leqi said, "I don't know what his background is. He said he has a very good relationship with Wei Liang of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals. Although there's nothing to prove he really knows Mr. Wei, I feel he isn't joking with us, so I still have some confidence in this matter."

"How is that possible..." James Shi Misi said very seriously, "Leqi, you don't understand many of the inside stories of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals, but I can tell you clearly that even Wei Liang is just a spokesperson for the boss behind the scenes of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals. He absolutely wouldn't dare to open a back door for anyone in this matter."

Hu Leqi said, "But he spoke very sincerely. I feel he really doesn't seem to be joking with us. Anyway, you're already in Jin Ling, and we've already returned. Bring Little Jimmy over to try it with us. Even if it doesn't work, there's no loss."

James Shi Misi hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Leqi, what is your friend's name? How did you meet?"

Hu Leqi said, "His name is Lin Chen. We met while hiking."

"Lin Chen?" James Shi Misi was even more surprised. "If the person you know were named Ye Chen, then this matter should be no problem. But Lin Chen... I haven't heard of this person..."

As he spoke, James Shi Misi asked again, "About how old is this Lin Chen you're talking about?"

Hu Leqi said, "He looks like he's just in his early 20s."

James Shi Misi muttered in disappointment, "Early 20s... then it seems it shouldn't be Ye Chen. Ye Chen is already nearly thirty..."

Hu Leqi asked him, "Mr. Shi Misi, how is Little Jimmy doing?"

"Not very well..." James Shi Misi said in a very decadent voice, "The doctors here in Jin Ling say that Little Jimmy's cancer cells have already spread to multiple organs, and the cancer cells have already developed some immunity to chemotherapy drugs. If there's no significant improvement after finishing this course of chemotherapy, I'm afraid we'll only be able to adopt palliative care. In that case, it will basically be the terminal stage..."

Hu Leqi asked, "Where is Little Jimmy now? Is he at the church with you?"

"No," James Shi Misi said, "Little Jimmy is undergoing chemotherapy in the day ward of Jin Ling People's Hospital. His mother is accompanying him."

Hu Leqi asked in surprise, "Your wife came too?"

"Yes," James Shi Misi said, "She settled things in the United States a few days ago, sold the house, and then brought our daughter over. Recently, she's been taking care of both children, and my main energy has been at the church."

Hu Leqi sighed softly and asked him, "Then... Mr. Shi Misi, are you going to bring Little Jimmy over? If you come along, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals."

James Shi Misi pondered for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "There's an old Chinese saying: 'Better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.' Alright, I'll go to the hospital to pick up Little Jimmy now, and then meet you at the entrance of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals!"

Hu Leqi said, "No problem, see you at the entrance of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals."

As he spoke, Hu Leqi cautioned, "By the way, Mr. Shi Misi, my friend said that this counts as a special operation to a certain extent, so let's make sure not to publicize it."

James Shi Misi said without hesitation, "I understand!"

James Shi Misi hung up the phone and said to his friends at the church, "I have something to do and need to leave first. I'll leave things here to you."

Most of the friends at the church were from the United States, just like Shi Misi. Several of them had arrived in Jin Ling relatively early, and due to their religious beliefs, they quickly got to know each other at the church and then started doing some small charity work together with the church.

James Shi Misi was also a Christian. After bringing his son to Jin Ling to settle down, he instinctively found the church and thus got to know everyone.

Several people knew his situation. They knew he had a son who was terminally ill and currently receiving chemotherapy in the day ward of Jin Ling People's Hospital, but it was said that it was only to delay the process of death. Overall, Shi Misi's son didn't have much time left.

Therefore, hearing that Shi Misi had something to do and had to leave, one of them asked hurriedly, "James, did something happen? Do you need our help?"

James Shi Misi shook his head and said, "I'm going to pick up my son and then try our luck at Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals to see if there's a chance."

That person nodded and said, "If you need help with anything, contact us anytime."

"Alright," James Shi Misi responded, hurried away from the church, and took a taxi to the People's Hospital.

Since arriving in Jin Ling, they had first taken their child to register at Jin Ling People's Hospital and then started chemotherapy there using the same protocol as in the United States. At first, he stayed in a hotel near the hospital. After his wife, Jenny, had also arranged everything in the United States and brought their daughter to Jin Ling, they rented a house near the hospital.

James Shi Misi followed Ye Chen's advice and was busy doing what he could for charity in Jin Ling every day. His wife, Jenny, followed the hospital's requirements, taking the child to the hospital when chemotherapy and check-ups were needed, and then taking the child home to rest at night.

Little Jimmy's cancer had actually basically entered the terminal stage. The chemotherapy drugs currently being used were the best and newest on the market, but even so, they couldn't cure the cancer. All they could do was delay the spread of cancer cells as much as possible.

For cancer patients, the best result was discovering carcinoma in situ, which could be completely cured by excision. If the cancer had already metastasized, the best result was finding a usable targeted drug.

However, different people had different genes. Some people were lucky enough to find a target for targeted drugs in their genes and could rely on targeted drugs to achieve very good treatment results.

Some people were less lucky and couldn't find any targets in their genes, so they couldn't use targeted drugs for treatment.

Without usable targeted drugs, only traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy remained.

Little Jimmy's current situation meant chemotherapy was already the last barrier, but James Shi Misi knew very well that this last barrier was already in jeopardy. The time it could support was probably only a few short months.

James Shi Misi arrived at the hospital's day ward with ease. At this time, every bed in the ward was occupied by a cancer patient receiving chemotherapy.

Among these cancer patients, Little Jimmy was the youngest.

Originally, there was a 5-year-old child with terminal leukemia here. Some time ago, the child passed the approval of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals, obtained a clinical trial spot, and was transferred to the internal laboratory of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals for treatment.

James Shi Misi at that time was very envious, but there was nothing he could do. According to the points system of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals, children who were young, had severe symptoms, and were from difficult family backgrounds were often prioritized for selection.

At this time, Jimmy was lying on the hospital bed. His body was already as thin as a stick, and his hair had completely fallen out, making him look very fragile. His eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he had already fallen asleep.

James Shi Misi's wife, Jane Shi Misi, was sitting on a stool by the bed, exhausted.

Seeing her husband come in, Jenny asked in surprise, "James, why are you here? Isn't the church preparing relief for the homeless this afternoon?"

James Shi Misi didn't answer her question but looked at the child on the bed and asked her, "Is Jimmy asleep?"

Jenny nodded gently and said with heartache, "His vomiting is getting more and more severe. The doctor added some anti-vomiting drugs to his chemotherapy, but the newly added drugs make him quite drowsy."

As she spoke, Jenny's eyes turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Shi Misi, the results of the enhanced CT scan came out two days ago. Jimmy's cancer cells are still growing and spreading. This week's chemotherapy basically hasn't shown any improvement. The doctor said that his current physical condition has begun to decline rapidly, like an elevator falling from a high altitude out of control. Chemotherapy drugs can only barely slow down the speed of his fall, but at most, it's extending it from two months to two and a half months. Even three months is very difficult to reach..."

Speaking of this, Jenny covered her face and burst into tears.

James Shi Misi hurried forward to hold her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't cry, maybe there's another chance."

Jenny shook her head and said, "I don't want to hold onto any blind hope anymore. I'm thinking now, should we stop Jimmy's chemotherapy and take him back to the United States for the remaining few months? His grandparents are waiting to see him. Returning to the United States, at least he can be with his family in the final stage of his life."

James Shi Misi said, "There's one last chance now. Although I don't know how high the probability of success is, as long as there's a chance, it's definitely much better than having no chance at all."

As he spoke, he said to Jenny, "Ask the nurse to pull the needle for Jimmy. I'm taking him out!"

Jenny asked in surprise, "Where are you taking him?"

James Shi Misi remembered that Hu Leqi had told him not to disclose it to the outside world, so he said, "Don't ask so much for now. I promised the other party not to talk about it randomly. But don't worry, I'll tell you the first time there's any result!" ===== CHAPTER 2807 =====
