“I’m all right. I think I’m a little down on oxygen after the kiss,” Huo Yunshen explained.
“Don’t lie to me! Tell me! This has been happening quite a lot lately, hasn’t it?”
Jing Xi had been noticing her husband would sometimes stumble suddenly.
“I don’t really know what is happening either. Sometimes it’s like everything will go black for a second for me.”
“Could it be anemia?”
“I’m not sure.”
“We should go to the hospital, just in case,” Jing Xi said and pushed Huo Yunshen out to their car. “I’ll go with you.”
They sat in the back seat while their driver, Mo An, drove them to the hospital.
Gu Yici was shocked when both Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi came into his office.
“What’s wrong? Coming here together,” Gu Yici said.
“Tell him what’s been happening,” Jing Xi said.
“Is something bothering you?” Gu Yici turned to ask Huo Yunshen.
“I think something is wrong with my eyes. I blackout for a few seconds sometimes.” Huo Yunshen explained his symptoms.
Gu Yici checked with Huo Yunshen’s body but couldn’t find anything right away. Remembering that Huo Yunshen had brain surgery recently, Gu Yici recommended that he retake a CT scan.
Jing Xi accompanied Huo Yunshen to take the scan.
When the report came out, Jing Xi quickly took a look at it, but it was all in English, and Jing Xi could barely understand it.
But based on Jing Xi’s medical knowledge, it seemed to her that something was wrong with Huo Yunshen’s central nervous system.
Gu Yici took a look at the report and said, “The wound is closing up perfectly, but there’s a shadow near his central nervous system. I suspect it might be extravasated blood. If my suspicion is true and if that clot is pressing against the central nervous system, it will cause CNSL.”
“What’s CNSL?”
“It means Central Nervous System Luekemia.”
“Leukemia?” Jing Xi panicked. “What should we do?”
She couldn’t believe that they would be burdened with another problem just days after their happy lives had begun.
Huo Yunshen was also shocked by the news, but what worried him the most was Jing Xi. He was afraid that it might be a burden to her emotions.
If he’d known that it was leukemia, he would’ve never brought her to the hospital with him.
“Don’t worry, it might not be as bad as it sounds.” Huo Yunshen quickly comforted his wife.
“What do you mean, ‘not bad as it sounds?’ It’s leukemia! It wouldn’t be this bad if you had come to the hospital sooner!” Jing Xi scolded and turned to Gu Yici. “Will he be okay if we take the clot out?”
Huo Yunshen had a feeling that the condition wasn’t as simple as it seemed. He quickly gave Gu Yici a look, telling him to not say too much in front of Jing Xi.
But Gu Yici was too focused on the report and didn’t notice Huo Yunshen’s signal.
“It’s not that simple. We have to control his leukemia first before we can remove the clot. I can see two possible risks here.”
“How big are the risks?”
