Chapitre 9: She won’t live more than a week
Xu Chenyao waved as she walked to the gate, she pressed the intercom button as a lazy voice rang out.
"Who are you here for?"
"I'm Sheng Yi, I'm here to see a patient..."
The gate buzzed as drew open as Xu Chenyao strolled in, her eyes widened, the house and the environment looked so serene.
Her eyes brightened when she saw the koi fish pond, she watch the fish jump and play around in pond.
Not to mention, the wisteria around the manor.
"So outworldly.."
As she walked to the door, she saw a slim figure leaning against the door, her eyes widened when she realized who it was.
Ilya Novikov?!!!
He was the patient she was supposed to see! She did not expect they would see each other this soon.
"Shit!" She hissed below her breath as she got closer to where Ilya was.
"Good morning miss Xu or Doctor Sheng.."
"My name is Sheng yi, mr. Novikov.."
Xu Chenyao breath felt shaky, he was really too handsome, she had never seen man look this lazy yet breathtaking.
"Do you intend to stand there all day?"
Ilya hissed as he walked instead, she was already late to begin with and now she was still wasting time gawking.
"If you want to stare at my face that can be arranged after you run a diagnosis on my mother.."
Xu Chenyao nodded so it's his mother that was the patient, she felt he was too healthy, he was brimming with life.
"Sorry I didn't take my shoes off.."
"That's why there are maids, they'll take care of it.."
Xu Chenyao lips twitched and she nodded, they didn't walk for long until Xu Chenyao began to notice the strong scent of herbal medicine.
"Here we are.."
Ilya slide the doors opened as they walked in, Xu Chenyao eyes landed on the bed and her eyes widened.
Beautiful!
Ilya's mother was one someone would describe as a peerless beauty.
"Ilya,Ilya..."
She called out softly but her eyes were dimmed and empty almost lifeless.
"I'm here Mum, is there anything you need?.."
"Ilya...pretty lady.."
Her eyes landed on Xu Chenyao who immediately bowed, her eyes taking note of her appearance.
This was not good, her condition was not good at all.
"Hi madam Novikov, I'm Sheng Yi I'm here to help you get better..."
Madam Novikov smiled and shook her head, she stretched her hand, pointing at Xu Chenyao, telling her to come closer.
"Hina..ta..."
Xu Chenyao blinked and leaned closer, was she trying to say something.
"Hirano Hinata...she's trying to tell you her name.."
Ilya expression was solemn, he hated to see his mother like this everyday.
Suffering, wishing she could die when she was still so young.
"It's a beautiful name..."
Xu Chenyao placed the bag on the ground and removed the veil on her face, turning to Ilya.
"Her past medical records where are they? I want to see them.."
Ilya nodded and walked to the table, opening the drawer and bringing out some files.
Which he handed to Xu Chenyao, she nodded and sat down, opening the file, her eyes widened and her hands shook slightly.
Behçet's disease!
She closed the file and turned to Ilya, she had lost all hope when she saw the sickness Hinata was dealing with.
It was a lost cause..
"How long has it been? When did the sickness start?"
"This should be the seventh year.."
Xu Chenyao sighed, her lungs must have been damaged to the point of no return.
"How often does she cough up blood?"
"10-20 times a day, a large amount at that.."
"Your mother is nearing her death bed, her lungs can no longer hold up, she has lost complete vision in her right eye and she has partial blindness on the left eye, not to mention she must be getting seizures almost everyday. I'm afraid, she may not last up to a week.."
Ilya's eyes widened and he immediately grew annoyed, all the doctors that came to treatment his mother always said the same thing, she wouldn't live longer than a week and yet she had been living with this illness for seven years now.
"I thought you'd be different from those other doctors, but you all come here and say the same nonsense. She wouldn't live past a week and yet many weeks has past and she's still alive!"
Xu Chenyao grew annoyed too, she was a doctor not God, she couldn't heal her even if she wanted to.
There was no stable cure for Behçet's disease.
"What did you expect me to say, that there's some magic cure that'll help her live longer, I'm a doctor not God, I can only do what's within my ability."
"Then do something!"
Xu Chenyao sighed she suddenly understood Ilya hasn't been able to come to terms with his mother dying and she decided not to argue with him anymore.
"I can brew some herbal medicine to stable her condition but I don't know if they'll be of much help.."
"Do whatever you can I'll buy whatever herbs you need, if you need it imported, I'll find it, whatever you need just tell me.."
Xu Chenyao opened the bag and handed the flask to Ilya.
"It wouldn't do much but it would stop her from coughing up too much blood. And you should take her to the hospital, she need to have oxygen constantly now.."
Ilya sighed he had tried that but her symptoms only got worst so yes doctors suggested she received home treatment.
"She said she didn't want to die with tubes sticking out of her mouth.."
Xu Chenyao stood up except for making herbal medicine that could make her cough up less blood there was nothing more she could.
"Do you usually stay here with her?"
"No, she has a maid looking after her, I'm at work during the day.."
Xu Chenyao stroked her chin, should she make herbal food as well. She wondered if madam Novikov was still able to take solid food.
"Alright, give her this.." she said pointing at the flask "And I'll come up with a more suitable plan later.."
