Chapter 1148
Ye Xingguang said, "Mr. Gu said he would come to the capital next week for a business trip and discuss it with me in detail. He said this genetic disease won’t immediately manifest, and Little Star’s health should remain good for at least a few years. He asked me not to worry. He has profound research in this area and is very willing to apply his research in practice."
Tang Zhou was concerned, "Little Xingguang, are you sure he’s reliable? I think he only has theoretical experience, no practical experience, right? And he’s not a doctor; he’s a researcher. He probably doesn’t have any clinical experience."
Ye Xingguang said, "Old Mr. Xu recommended him to me, perhaps because he finds him trustworthy? We’ll talk when he arrives; otherwise, there’s no other solution."
She knew she couldn’t rush this matter. Mr. Gu said that Xiaohuahua wouldn’t get sick within a few years, which reassured her.
But upon learning that Little Xingguang had a genetic disease, which might cause her to not live past seven years old like the other two girls, her heart grew heavy, as if clouds were hanging over her, impossible to disperse.
A little while later, Yi Yujian personally brought the documents of the other two girls for Ye Xingguang to review.
Tang Zhou grabbed them to look, "There are actually two more beautiful little mermaids who died before turning seven? How many lives have been lost for the mermaid modification project? No wonder the human rights activists protested the project into cessation. Otherwise, if the mermaid modification project continued, how many innocent children would have been sacrificed?"
Bai Lanwu walked over and said, "Let me see."
After looking at a few photos of the adorable little girls, Bai Lanwu couldn’t bear it and set the photos aside, pressing a hand to her heart. noveldrama
Though the girls in the photos were pretty and cute, thinking they’ve already passed away, like her own daughter who couldn’t grow up, Bai Lanwu’s heart ached sharply, and she shook her head as she sat on the sofa, "What a sin."
Ye Xingguang was reading the documents, which detailed the state care for the two girls after they were identified as mermaids, as well as their subsequent health conditions and all medical records...
Early on, both girls didn’t show pathological symptoms, but this genetic disease became active in their bodies once they developed mermaid tails, akin to human cancer—initially showing no symptoms, with cancer cells possibly living within the body for years or even decades, but once symptoms appear, it’s already terminal and without cure.
Ye Xingguang’s heart tightened, knowing this disease might have already started in Xiaohuahua’s body, yet still invisible.
She couldn’t wait any longer. Originally thinking a few days were fine, now she couldn’t even wait a minute.
Since she needed help, she decided to personally take Xiaohuahua to find Gu Zuoxing—she couldn’t await Mr. Gu’s business trip to examine her daughter. Ye Xingguang wanted to book a ticket to S City, where Gu Zuoxing was currently residing.
Bai Lanwu, having looked at the photos, agreed, "Since you need help, take Xiaohuahua and head over personally. Attend to your matters diligently; hurry, book the ticket."
"Mom, I’m checking the flight information."
At that moment, Night Junqing and Mo Yinhe, one big, one small, came home from work. Seeing quite a few people gathered in the living room and hearing the mother-in-law mention booking a flight ticket, he asked, "Where to? What happened?"
