“Aunt is in poor health. She keeps having nightmares and her appetite has also been decreasing. As such, she had lost a lot of weight lately,” Ouyang Qing said.

Nan Chen kept quiet.

“The doctors over there had diagnosed aunt with colorectal cancer. However, as surgery is not the best option for her current condition, the doctors had suggested that she come back here and try combating the disease with traditional Chinese medicine instead… “

When Nan Chen heard the word ‘cancer’, his mind instantly went blank.

He felt a sudden wave of sorrow as he stared at Ouyang Qing in a daze.

“But Chen, you don’t have to worry too much. The doctor had said the cancer is still in its early stages, it has not yet progressed to a stage where all hope is lost. TCM can create wonders and is often able to solve complex medical issues that Western medicine is unable to. Our priority now should be to bring aunt back home as soon as possible. I’ve already made arrangements with a TCM practitioner who’s one of the best in the country. I am confident he’ll be able to help Aunt.”

Ouyang Qing looked at Nan Chen expectantly, as if waiting to claim the credit.

However, Nan Chen did not speak as he was still wallowing in sadness.

“Chen? Don’t be too worried yeah? The doctor has already said it’s a good thing the cancer was discovered early, so the chances of recovery are high. Aunt just has to receive treatment here.”

Nan Chen finally snapped out of his misery and said, “I’ll go talk to Grandpa now.”

“Chen, do we still need the Old Master’s permission to bring aunt back, given that she’s already so seriously ill? What if he doesn’t agree?”

“Grandpa will agree. I will explain the situation to him properly.”

Nan Chen put on his jacket and was ready to leave his office.

“If that’s the case, I’ll go with you. I know the actual situation better, so it might be clearer if I do the explanation instead,” Ouyang Qing volunteered.

“No need,” Nan Chen rejected the woman coldly.

“Chen, it really pains me to see you feeling so down. Aunt’s condition is really not as serious as you imagine, don’t be too worried alright?” Ouyang Qing said.

Nan Chen did not respond.
