That afternoon.
He Licun has collected case reports of all genetic disease patients around the world.
As of now, there are 1,336 patients with genetic diseases in the world.
Among them, 1,331 patients had died shortly after birth.
So far.
There are fewer than five cases registered in the hospital alive.
When He Licun saw this number, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
His hand holding the phone had stretched veins, and his voice was low and terrifying: "Contact the families of these five patients. As long as they are willing to cooperate with the experiment, I will give them a satisfactory bonus."
After He Licun's order was issued.
The people below quickly used various methods to contact the five surviving patients.
The people sent out have just taken action.
He Licun received another message.
Xiaotian's heart rate began to disappear.
Immediately afterwards.
Another piece of news came through.
"Mr. He, the young master is awake! He wants to see you!"
At this moment, He Licun was really panicked.
His eyes were red, and he immediately appeared in Xiaotian's ward.
This is the first time Xiaotian has woken up since he was unconscious for two days.
For two days, Xiaotian didn't eat. Even though the medical staff had used the best and most expensive nutrient solution, Xiaotian's face was still visibly shrunken, and his face was yellow and dry, as if he had been ill for a long time.
At the moment when he saw his son, He Licun's heart was stabbed hard by a knife. He stood at the door and no longer had the courage to go forward.
Xiaotian was completely invisible. He used all his strength to sit up. His thin and small body leaned against the bed. His weak hands used sign language to communicate with the person next to him: "Is my daddy here?"
"Young master, Mr. He is here." The nurse said softly, looking at Xiaotian's haggard look with red eyes. She really couldn't bear it, and looked away, not daring to look at him anymore.
Xiaotian couldn't speak. He could only use his ears, which had almost lost all hearing, to distinguish the sounds around him.
He 'looked' in the direction of He Licun, and then prepared to ask in sign language if daddy was here.
As soon as his little hand was raised, it was grasped tightly by a big hand.
"I'm here." He Licun's voice was low, and he was about to comfort his son to lie down and rest.
Xiaotian used all his strength to break free from He Licun's hand, and then expressed in sign language: "Daddy, is it sunny today? If so, can you take me to bask in the sun?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiaotian expressed his most desired thought: "Can Professor Shen come over and bask in the sun with me?"
In the past few days, Xiaotian spent most of the time in his sleep.
Every time he wakes up, he desperately hopes that his mother will come to see him.
But every time, it seemed that by chance, he didn't catch up with Mommy.
He was really afraid that next time he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.
He wanted to bask in the sun with his mother before going to bed this time.
Of course, if there is sunshine today.
He Licun said nothing, pursed his lips and glanced at the dark clouds outside the window, and said solemnly: "Okay."
ten minutes later.
When Shen Pianzhi appeared in the ward, Xiaotian was already sitting in a wheelchair.
His thin and small body could barely lean on the back of the chair. Fortunately, there was a seat belt that could hold his body in place, so he didn't need to use much effort to sit upright.
He obediently stared in the direction ahead, his pupils becoming dilated due to the loss of vision.
This is the first time Shen Pianzhi sees Xiaotian after starting the experiment.
During this period of time, she worked hard on experiments, barely taking a break for several days.
Countless failures have not broken her down.
She knew that Xiaotian was still waiting for her life-saving medicine.
But now.
Seeing this moment of the child, Shen Pianzhi's heart could no longer suppress all her emotions and finally collapsed.
With red eyes, she walked to Xiaotian, squatted down, and gently touched his face: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for so long... I'm sorry..."
Shen Pianzhi's voice was choked with sobs.
She didn't know what else to say to her son except sorry.
She wanted to ask her son if it hurt and if he was scared.
However, she thought before she asked, he was just a four-year-old child, suddenly faced with losing hearing, vision, and even touch, how could he not be afraid?
All the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say a word.
Xiaotian stretched out his hand and touched Shen Pianzhi's face.
He touched Mommy's hot tears.
Xiaotian communicated with Shen Pianzhi in sign language: "Mommy, don't cry, I don't feel any pain or discomfort."
Suddenly, Xiaotian felt a little sad when he thought that Shen Pianzhi didn't seem to know sign language.
Now that he can't see, he can't use his mobile phone to edit his words and tell his mother.
Even though he knew he didn't have much time, he didn't feel sad.
But when he thought that he had no way to communicate with his mother, he began to feel sad.
Shen Pianzhi was already crying so hard that her tears were falling like broken beads. She was so distressed that even every breath hurt.
How could he not be in pain?
She wished she could hold her son tightly in her arms and cry loudly, but she didn't.
Wiping away her tears, Shen Pianzhi took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her collapsed mood, and forced a smile. Her voice was extremely gentle: "I'm not crying. Aren't you going to bask in the sun? Come on, I'll push you outside. Bask in the sun."
He Xiaotian was surprised. Can Mommy understand his sign language?
He nodded excitedly, and his little face, which was sallow due to illness, regained some of its energy at this moment.
Shen Pianzhi was afraid that her son would be scared if he couldn't hear the sound, so she kept telling him stories in a gentle voice.
From the story of the mermaid princess, to Little Red Riding Hood's wolf grandmother, and then to the little match girl.
I talked for a long time.
Shen Pianzhi's steps were also extremely slow.
It was only a few minutes' walk from the ward to the outside, but she walked for more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until she pushed Xiaotian to the lobby on the first floor of the hospital that Shen Pianzhi discovered that Xiaotian fell asleep again at some point.
Staring at her son's quietly closed eyes, Shen Pianzhi's eyes turned red again.
He Licun, who had been following the mother and son, said with a solemn face: "Professor Shen, thank you for staying with Xiaotian for so long. I will notify the bank to transfer a sum of money to you later. It will be regarded as a thank you fee. Please Don’t say no.”
Thank you fee?
Thank her for staying with Xiaotian for so long?
These words seemed ironic to Shen Pianzhi's ears at this moment.
She is Xiaotian's biological mother. Now, she is accompanying her son, but does she still need a thank you fee from others?
"No need." Shen Pianzhi stared at He Licun with red eyes: "Mr. He, may I ask, have you contacted the patient I asked you to find?"
He Licun's eyes darkened: "...not yet."
The air was quiet again.
Shen Pianzhi was silent, staring at Xiaotian who had fallen asleep in the wheelchair with his eyelids lowered. His voice was low and hoarse: "Before the drug experiment, I cannot guarantee the current effect of the drug. Mr. He, please find someone who can cooperate with the experimental research as soon as possible." People don’t have much time left.”
After saying this, Shen Pianzhi looked away from Xiaotian: "I'm going back to the laboratory first. You should take good care of him. If there is any abnormality, notify me immediately."
"Yes, I will." He Licun nodded, staring closely at Shen Pianzhi's red eyes: "Thank you for everything you have done for Xiaotian."
After watching Shen Pianzhi's figure disappear from the elevator entrance, He Licun retracted his gaze and pushed his son back to the ward again.
Under inspection again.
The examination report data showed that Xiaotian's vital signs had dropped again.
Shen Pinzhi is right.
time is limited.
at the same time.
The person assigned to contact the five last surviving cases came back after sending a message.
The last five surviving cases in the world died of the disease a few days ago.
Genetic diseases either remain asymptomatic throughout life, or there is no hope of survival after birth.
As this news came.
He Licun's last glimmer of hope was dashed.
His eyes were red and he said angrily: "Keep searching! When you find the person, come back and report to me!"
"yes......"
He Licun's order has just been issued.
Shen Xiaohan's figure appeared in front of He Licun.
Wearing a mask, he looked up at the man in front of him who looked the same as him but was much taller than him: "Uncle He, my gene is also defective. I can do this experiment."
He Licun stared at the child who appeared in front of him.
Shen Xiaohan's height is about the same as Xiaotian.
Every time he appeared in front of him, the child was wearing a mask.
He has never seen Shen Xiaohan's real face.
At this moment, He Licun's sinking heart suddenly rose: "Professor Shen asked you to come?"
"No." Shen Xiaohan shook his head, his eyes flickered, and he was obviously guilty: "My mommy doesn't know about my coming here. Please don't tell my mommy, okay?"
"Why."
He Licun frowned. He was asking why Shen Xiaohan wanted to do this experiment.
Since this child can participate in this experiment, he doesn't believe that Shen Xiaohan doesn't know how dangerous this kind of experiment is.
After He Licun finished speaking.
Shen Xiaohan smiled easily: "The experiment will definitely be successful. I believe in the potion developed by my mommy."
He Licun said nothing, his eyes swept over Shen Xiaohan's shoulders that were clearly trembling.
This kid is obviously scared.
As if sensing He Licun's hesitation, Shen Xiaohan spoke again: "It's too late. It will take at least a few months to get the results from the experiment."
"Generally speaking, if I don't die within a week, then this potion will at least not cause any harm."
"If I'm still fine after a week, you can safely give the young master medicine."
"What are you still hesitating about? Haven't you already investigated that there are no more surviving cases?"
"Uncle He, there's no time, you'd better make a decision quickly."
During the conversation.
Shen Xiaohan handed the medicine he secretly brought out to He Licun: "Inject this into my muscle and you can observe the experiment."
"When do we start?"
He Licun had a stern face and stared at the child in front of him who was not even half his height: "I'm going to see Professor Shen now. If she doesn't agree, I won't use you for experiments."
Use the life of someone else's son in exchange for your own.
He Licun was not that unscrupulous.
When he was about to avoid Shen Xiaohan.
Shen Xiaohan stepped forward and stopped him again.
This time, Shen Xiaohan's face no longer had a relaxed expression. He frowned and stared at He Licun without speaking.
In a stalemate.
A urgent voice came in from outside: "Mr. He, the doctor said that the young master may not be able to survive..."
He Licun's face sank rapidly.
Staring at Shen Xiaohan standing in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure you want to participate in this experiment?"
"OK." Shen Xiaohan nodded, his eyes brightening: "If you hurry up, if I don't have an allergic reaction within a day, I can use the medicine on the young master."
"Okay." He Licun nodded and asked coldly: "Do you have anything to explain? As long as you want, I can satisfy you."
Shen Xiaohan thought for a while, he himself didn't know if he would be able to walk out of the laboratory alive after this experiment. He raised his head and looked at He Licun: "...can I call you daddy? "
He Licun frowned, not sure why Shen Xiaohan's wish was so simple. He nodded and then added: "You can also make a wish."
"If I don't get out of the laboratory alive, please help me take care of mommy." Shen Xiaohan's tone was very serious, but at the same time there was a bit of nostalgia and reluctance.
How could he not be afraid?
It was obvious that he was scared to death.
He still has a lot of things to do.
For example, he also wants to see Mommy and Daddy fall in love with his own eyes.
He also wanted to see their family reunited in the future.
I don’t know if I can come out alive after entering the laboratory this time.
Shen Xiaohan himself didn't know.
After his words fell.
He Licun nodded seriously: "Okay, I promise you, no matter what, as long as I live for one day, I will do my best to take care of Professor Shen."
"Thank you, Daddy." Shen Xiaohan smiled lightly and handed the secretly taken potion to He Licun again: "Uncle He, let's get started. You should see the results soon."
He Licun pursed his lips and took the potion.
The thing in his hand was obviously very light, but now it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, which made his heart feel a little tight.
Exhaling, He Licun no longer wasted time, and quickly used his own power to summon two extremely experienced biological experts to come over and personally observe the experiments on Shen Xiaohan.
When watching Shen Xiaohan step onto the test bed with his own eyes.
He Licun suddenly spoke out of nowhere: "Kid, can you take off your mask and let me see what you look like?"
Shen Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, looked in the direction of He Licun, and shook his head in rejection.
He Licun remained silent to express his respect for Shen Xiaohan's intention, waved his hand, and directly asked the two biological experts to start the operation.
As the test bench slowly rises.
Shen Xiaohan, who was bound above, gently closed his eyes.
His body was shaking uncontrollably.
The little hands lying flat on both sides were also clenched.
If he remembers correctly.
If the medicine fails, all the cells in his body will slowly dissolve, and eventually, he will turn into a puddle of water and melt on the test bench.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Shen Xiaohan's teeth could not help but tremble.
However, he quickly thought again.
Maybe the experiment was successful.
Has his respiratory disease been completely cured?
In silence.
Shen Xiaohan heard the biological expert asking for his father's opinion.
"Mr. He, do you want the experiment to start now?"
Xiaohan, who had his eyes closed, soon heard his father's voice.
Daddy said, make sure to experiment.
For some reason, the tip of his nose felt a little sore, and his heart felt swollen. With his eyes closed, two tears quietly slipped down and flowed into his hair.
